Thanks for the squirrel stuff, guys. She was the cheapest hero I liked the look of - even though 250 splinters still took a long while - and has turned out to be lots of fun.

The Punisher being ridiculously gruff is far funnier than this irritating cutesy act of hers though.

i think they want people to pay real money for characters this time around, instead of getting 60% of the roster in a month

I understand the logic behind it, how much, in real cash, would a character cost on the PS4?

Pretty sure most if not all of them cost 900 gaz funbucks like on PC, so 10 dollars.

Ah thats a bit steep, I think 10 dollars is right on the limit of a lot of peoples "minor payment" threshold. They might do better pricing them at around the $5 mark,. but who knows.

PS4 so as already mentioned I'm limited to spending shards or about £12 at a time.

I remember something about getting a big chunk of splinters when you first beat Doctor Doom, ut that doesn't seem to be the case.

I've leveled 7 or so characters to 10 and am currently running Daredevil through chapter 8 at level 50. I'm at 680 shards, and the only other character that clicked was Jean Gray.

It's kind of nuts how slow the drip is. I get wanting people to spend money but if I hit 60 with DD without getting enough to buy Jean I think I'll be forever done.

The drip is nuts. I was getting exactly one splinter approximately every 10 minutes before I quit playing again, meaning it would take me ~83 hours of active, out of town play to buy an average hero. For christ's sake, they don't even give you enough loving splinters to start to buy anyone outside of Angela, Squirrel Girl or Nova. That on top of missing a bunch of content, not having random boxes, BOGO, events, etc. and every hero being ~$10 a piece at a minimum just completely soured me on the whole thing. Oh right, and couch co-op, the main reason I was excited about the console port in the first place, sucks total rear end.

Couch coop is currently restricted to Daredevil and whomever else was bought. Being unable to play with two accounts is an amazing wtf moment.

Yeah, they went overboard in the other direction from the PC game. Their slow development time lead me to blow 6000 splinters on ult upgrades because i hadn't had anything to spend them on in months.

Considering how multiplayer freemium games spread that's a horrible method for increasing attachment metrics. Thanks for your valuable input though, we'll be sure to come running to you for further insights.

Dear Gaz, Injustice 2 let's you allow the AI to play the game when you're doing things to avoid grinding or learning how to play yourself. Please add this so I can get pointless boxes and stuff whilst watching mindless youtube videos.

Im honestly surprised they havent gone with the typical method, give you enough for one or two heroes right at the start then another one in a few days then another after a week or so to encourage people to keep playing. Then again I dont know how fast you collect ES on the ps4 version so maybe that covers it?

You've said this like four or five times. They mailed everyone who had this issue 500 additional splinters, so even if you bought one of the 250 splinter heroes you could get an additional 525 hero. If you didn't get them in your in game mail, that's lovely and continue expressing your dissatisfaction, but a new player gets 525 so how you keep describing it in the thread sounds like misinformation.

paying to not play future fight gets you stuff like Dormammu which looks cool and helps you not play even faster and better

paying to not play MH at this point would get you what, a handful of ravager sprays and some event tokens?
