jean only has 90s xmen and new (not all new) xmen. cap and spidey are the only characters that have more than 2 costumes other than the default, and spidey only if you count symbiote

they held back a TON of costumes.

Dunno if it's the same for new PC players but trying to beat chapter 3 on console was a pain.

The boss hand people just heal each other constantly and I couldn't do enough DPS to kill them all together, had to keep luring 1-2 away.

Everything else is as easy as normal.

Pretty much. TheDink and the art team are apparently busy churning out non-stop VUs for the game, updating the PC versions and so there's something for the consoles. Whoever did the Grim Reaper review, it's pretty baller.

only enhanced costumes are the deadpool kid, black vortex nova, rocket raccoon movie version, wiccan, and jane foster. i don't see any pattern, at this point i think it's either just randomly decided which ones to push or marvel arbitrarily decided or some combination thereof

edit: nm i didn't get what you meant originally so yeah. it isn't just older stuff cause squirrel girl, wolverine, captain marvel, and a ton of other people have their visually updated stuff

also, i thought the war machine founders pack was required for the symbiote costume and iron fist, but in game info just says the main 5 founder packs are required, so JUST 200 total.

That part can be annoying on PC too if you don't deal enough damage to burst them down quickly enough.

i killed elektra then could not even come close to killing any of the sorcerers before they healed to full. only way i could finish the encounter was to pick up elektra's medallion that gives 5s of stealth on medkit use, because enemies wouldn't fight back or heal while i was stealthed.

hit 20 and it seems like legendary quests aren't active yet, despite the ui space for them existing. legendaries are in, however, which leads me to believe that the only way to get them at this point in closed beta is to use the currency boosts

One of the changes in the initial announcement was that you need to hit 60 to unlock legendaries.

hm, good change. i liked having an infinite supply just from leveling characters, but it just makes more sense for them to be acquired by endgame more than leveling.

"Do you want to talk to a spider, Peter?"


Haven't played on PC in a couple years. I'm thinking about coming back with the PS4 version. Is there a list with how much it'll cost for my favorite characters and costumes? I want classic Thor, Ronin Hawkeye, and a couple "new" characters like Peter Quill and Squirrel Girl.

thor only has age of ultron and jane foster costumes, hawkeye only has age of ultron costume. if you buy the avengers founder pack for $60, you'll get thor, hawkeye, iron man, cap, hulk, and widow all with age of ultron costumes. you will also have JUST enough g's (i think) to buy starlord, squirrel girl, and the costumes for both.

g purchases will reset at the end of beta, as will all other progress except stuff you bought.

the new tags on everything are very strange

wolverine's synergy is "5% to Claw damage"

all the legendaries have at least one tier that has a specific attack tag

"leap" and "dash" are different tags on movement powers

The medals all have weirdly specific powers. Like bullseye is now for 'throwing powers' and Madam Hydra's is now rubbish.

Also RIP Cyclops. His hero synergy is no longer 10% XP gain. Replaced by spirit on defeat.

Energy/Physical/Metal seems to have been replaced with ICE, ELECTRIC, FIRE, GUN, CLAW, ENERGY, EXPLOSIVE. Which I'm sure won't make gearing a pain.

Also you can't get any gear higher than blue in standard difficulty, but the heroic trial's not hard at all.

"Claw" seems an odd choice of damage type. That's at all useful on, what, half a dozen heroes at most?

Right got to 60.

Legendary quests open up at 60 with a brief quest chain introducing the different types and ending up showing you how to play danger room (you hit things, you dodge things). You do get some purples/cosmic items for doing it though. I'd imagine this might make cosmic'ing an issue.

Well more of an issue is that currently there doesn't appear to be prestiging in the game...

Only 3 areas of the game were annoying. The Elektra fight for the healers, the Malekith lower asgard group event boss who took about 5 minutes to kill on my own and every time he teleported your autolock would stop. Loki phase 1 (they edited the cutscene to remove his amazing powervr aliased cape) shows why this game wasn't designed for controllers. Spawning his clones which means you have to turn off target, try to hit them then go back to hitting him and he instantly spawns some more.

There's also only 3 artifact slots and no insignias.

'I remember that until only a week before I was arrested, we were not at war with Fox at all. We were in alliance with them. The war was against DC. That had lasted for years. Before that --'

Gazillion stopped him with a movement of the hand.

'Another example,' they said. 'Some months ago you had a very serious delusion indeed. You believed that four people, four onetime playable characters named Reed Richards, Susan Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm -- individuals who were executed for treachery and collusion after making the fullest possible confession -- were not guilty of the crimes they were charged with. You believed that you had seen unmistakable documentary evidence proving that their confessions were false. There was a certain intro cinematic about which you had a hallucination. You believed that you had actually held it in your hands. It was a cinematic something like this.'

A tablet playing a video had appeared between Gazillion's fingers. For perhaps five seconds it was within the angle of Winston's vision. It showed a video, and there was no question of its identity. It was the cinematic. It was another copy of the intro cinematic showing the Fantastic Four in Marvel Heroes, which he had chanced upon eleven months ago and promptly destroyed. For only an instant it was before his eyes, then it was out of sight again. But he had seen it, unquestionably he had seen it! He made a desperate, agonizing effort to wrench the top half of his body free. It was impossible to move so much as a centimetre in any direction. For the moment he had even forgotten the dial. All he wanted was to hold the tablet in his fingers again, or at least to see it.

'It exists!' he cried.

'No,' said Gazillion.

They stepped across the room. There was a memory hole in the opposite wall. Gazillion lifted the grating. Unseen, the tablet was whirling away on the current of warm air; it was vanishing in a flash of flame. Gazillion turned away from the wall.

'Ashes,' he said. 'Not even identifiable ashes. Dust. It does not exist. It never existed.'

'But it did exist! It does exist! It exists in memory. I remember it. You remember it.'

'I do not remember it,' said Gazillion.

It really does suck. I think I only made it to 200 before I decided to start a s10 character in Diablo.
