Leveling gear is good in theory but also might kill a lot of the fun of adapting to and using weird gear you find while you level. Though I guess since uniques don't exist anymore that was already kind of a thing anyway I love leveling gear sets in MMOs because gear in those is obnoxious to deal with. I don't really think they belong in a Diablo type game.

So does this Omega prestige system do away with the normal green/blue/...cosmic prestiges? Or you have to get to cosmic 60 and then start omega prestiging?

Get real we all know that for leveling IP is the primary factor. edit: I'd love the theoretical marvel superhero game where there are build changing uniques that alter the cosmic leveling experience in a fun and interesting way, but that has never existed.

marvel heroes is an ARPG, not a WoW clone. the dev team should not be aspiring to make gear more generic and interchangeable its a loot chase game. its been a loot chase game since day 1. was it the best loot chase game? no, at no point was it amazing. but it was good for a while. and its been getting steadily worse. heirloom gear is a dumb thing to put in a game based around loot drops, even if its just there so you can level up faster to earn Special Loot Drop Boxes or whatever. i appreciate the thought behind it, but the fact that they designed a system and then went "well theres problems with the system we made, so here's some stuff to make it suck less" instead of fixing the actual system's problems tells you a lot about how gazillion works these days. and how they've been functioning for a while. its just more disappointing, boring stuff being stuffed into a game that needs devs that care more about it and the playerbase it's been losing for a long time

I am convinced people only prestiged because there was gently caress all to do in the game, when you play a lot, since Gaz adds new content in the form of compelling new items and zones at a glacial pace, if at all. This all feels like a poorly thought out attempt at working around not increasing the level cap, especially now that they are adding a power factor to prestiging. Although I suppose it is pretty clever in the short term, if they are trying to avoid more work.

i only prestiged because it'd get me one third of the way to a new costume and that was actually a fun kind of lootbox so of course it had to go

So, a friend has been keeping me kinda posted on the dumb poo poo Gaz is doing lately, but I imagine there's some things he didn't bother to mention or whatever. What, exactly, has been going on since I stopped playing like right around the time Punisher got his stupid van.

I worry that when I periodically log into this game to see if it's turning back around that someone is going to be watching the steam game chart at that time and think "Oh, I better check it out too" and then a cascade of people logging into this poo poo game starts and they somehow get money for it.

The OP says I can unlock the first hero for free and I should get a bunch of ES on the second day. Neither of those two things have happened so far as I can tell, so I'm just goofing around at the level 10 cap. I've got like 415 ES which is way short of what I need to unlock someone. Did they change it or have I missed something? edit: oh, the heroes cost different amounts and the one I want is 600. Sigh. Is there any way to get them quickly or am I going to be locked out of my first character choice? Zephro fucked around with this message at 10:55 on Oct 23, 2017 |

They changed it during an overhaul to be confusing and unsatisfying. You used to just click and unlock the first guy, but now they reward you with 400 splinters after doing the 'prologue' to try and get you to started on a mid-priced hero. Apparently after 7 days logging in they'll give you another 200 so you can buy a cheap hero, but if the one you really want in the first place is in the top-tier price range then you have to basically just fart around until you get those bonus splinters to afford it. Of course you could just give them money, but why would you do that when they haven't tricked you into mentally investing in their free-to-play system yet.

Price is not connected to power. It was initially just popularity but it's hard to say there's any real rhyme or reason because they've also stated it was a factor of how much 'work' went into a character - like, Taskmaster (at least when introduced) was just a collection of skills and animations from other existing heroes so he was 200 splinters, and Doctor Strange came in at 600 because he had a huge amount of flashy special effects over the other existing heroes. But then all of the most recent ones are priced at 400 whether they were delivered weeks late due to completely new game mechanics being introduced or just weeks after the last release complete with reported bugs.

My shortlist of characters I really enjoy in the lower brackets is: X-23 - flippy mobile melee Cyclops - ranged lasers forever, whether you like holding the button down or pianoing keys Blade - good choices between ranged and melee and his bloodthirst mechanic is better than most Juggernaut - nothing stops him Magneto - ranged that can guarantee critical hits on his biggest hits and a great voice actor Moonknight - same qualifications as Blade except his mechanic is an immortality button Loki - I've only played him ranged, but he's good with a wide range of skills and interactions Cable - he shoots mind bullets, or I guess you can use some stupid telepathic halberd The ones I would suggest to avoid are: Colossus - he's a basic melee fighter who for some reason you can spec to do less damage against more difficult enemies. Luke Cage - basic brawler, but for reason during his overhaul old bugs were reintroduced and a number of spec traps Those are just based on who I play because while I personally think that, for example, Wolverine is an immobile melee character with impotent aoe in a game where you need to kill all the guys all the time, a number of the supergroup really like him and it doesn't make him a bad starting choice.

Permasig is still working right? x23 is one of my favorite characters in this game, and i tend to primarily play melee. all 3 of her builds (bleed, movement, cooldown) are fun and viable. she's my most wanted character for the console version atm. highly reccomend. boyverine sux biggest thing that keeps me coming back to this game is how fun and rewarding i find melee combat. part of the reason i only lasted a couple weeks in poe is that very little of it feels like it has impact. it is dumb but i get some visceral pleasure from doing a crashdown strike in the middle of a bunch of mooks
