Why they did 4 Falcons, and 3 Groots TUs and couldn't make them playable for their fans is painstakingly baffling.


falcon couldnt be playable til he apologized to nazi steve for doubting the purity of the white race, which has now happened in the comics, so hes a possibility going forwards

I'm not even talking about the stupid Steve Rogers ~totally not a nazi just hydra, guys~ stuff.


Like the comic is the complete opposite of how people take that one panel and speech bubble - Steve Rogers isn't even in it - and the only actual apology is to his activist sidekicks for trying to put the breaks on their activism like Steve Rogers did to his because he's just spent the whole comic realising now he's the socially conservative old timer.

I knew about the Nazi Cap. I didn't know about a confrontation with SJW strawmen causing Falcon to apologize about being a stereotype he never was.

I'll just add it to the pile of characters that are now Hydra members and other ridiculous bouts of character hemorrhaging they've been doing.

All I know is, despite having just bought two fresh heroes with splinters, I'm definitely not playing this half baked poo poo until they put in the items that the game is loving tuned for.

I mean really now, how stupid is that? "Hey, we've tuned all content for a new tier of gear!" "Sweet, where does it drop?" "It's not in yet, but soon"

The new gear is for the new tier, the game is currently tuned for the current gear.

So the voice of the thread seems to be "bad and dead" but I somehow only just found out about the game and am enjoying my first few days playing. I suspect that I will come to agree with the thread if I ever get to end game stuff, but for now I'm enjoying clicking ninjas and hearing Danny promise not to punch Lockheed in the heart.

Any advice on things to do/not do or is everything meaningless and replaceable/correctable until I'm raiding at double-cosmic and sitting on a hoard of all 15 types of currency?

The issue with 'bad and dead' is most of the people here have racked up thousands of hours. You'll have fun with it as you are.

Gear isn't stable until you're max level. Everything is replaceable/pointless till then, though Very Rare(Purple) and Cosmic(Yellow) are preferred. Your character's Uniques(Brown) are generally worth keeping around, though, and the game itself recognises this by having recipes to upgrade them to level 40/50/60 as you get there.

Asros recorded it in the company toilet. They pitch-shifted his already girlish voice up by 15%, and added that robotic iron man/doctor doom filter. Side note: the reason Gaz moves office is because the toilet is constantly getting destroyed due to hotdog eating contests and the generally awful dietary habits of the staff. Real near got written up a few too many times for this and they had to let him go. The "ghost chili hotdog eating contest incident" was the proverbial dump that broke the camel's back.

the game is good and a lot of fun, but 'dead' is probably kind of accurate. unless things change a lot with the console release, the PC playerbase has been dropping off a lot over the past year and a half because there's not been enough new stuff to sustain old players.

but as a new player, you've got plenty of stuff you can have fun with and a really huge roster you can use for it all. the game that's here is fun, especially if you're playing it kind of casually. but yeah like you said once you get deep into endgame you'll get tired of speedrunning the same things over and over to get better gear so you can use it for nothing. theres a lot to enjoy before that point though

as for stuff to do or not do, spending eternity splinters on the 'random hero' token can be fun if you dont know who to play as, but if theres someone specific you really want just save up for them. it wont take too long to get them.

Thanks to all for the positive info. This is what I'm planning to do, as there are only 3-5 chars I have absolutely no interest in playing.

It just makes me sad that marvel games are kinda in shitters in terms of content. Rumour of Marvel vs Capcom Infinite having 2 hour story mode is sad. Wish MvC games had single player content like Netherrealm games.

Why would the main story mode with narrative(rather than arcade mode random-fights and any other modes besides it)being 2 hours(i.e movie-length) be sad?

Probably because their movie franchise is going gang busters so who cares about the video games.
