If the secret is money I will stop eating Sheetz for a month and contribute those funds to the cause. Should be a few grand.

It was good back when it came out, but now it's got the added benefit of intense nostalgic signal boosting it.

Literally no other ARPG has captured the feeling of mowing down dozens and dozens of guys with twenty different AOE spells and if anyone says POX approaches that experience I'm going to suffocate you with a Thingbuger

Tried that one. Way too clunky for my taste. Everything felt like moving through molasses. Could work for a desperate 40k fan I guess.

I hate to compliment gaz in any way, but I really think they nailed the gameplay cycle with the sub 2m boss runs to farm gear + the big, open world events like MM. All other ARPGs these days just feel like a slog and aren't nearly as social.

City of X on high numbers, maybe? But then you didn't quite have so many AOES.

"Working", yes - the basic functionality is there but it comes with a bunch of weird visual bugs. Last time I tried it my hands were replaced by squirrels.

Heard about someone else who was having a similar issue except instead of squirrels it was demon babies. From what I understand it went poorly for him.

It's very odd to me we can't set up a private server being able to download all the game's info via Steam still. Ah well.

a person could, with likely years of reverse-engineering, create a private server based solely on client queries for the marvel heroes client. without the database, though, it's effectively not possible to recreate marvel heroes, the game that actually existed, with the correct numbers, npc/enemy positions, text, etc.. video from the era could get you there on a surface level, maybe.

:ssh: i'm not sure that would actually matter tho, was anyone that attached to the way the game was balanced or most of the items/descriptions/etc.? seems like stuff that would see substantial revision from an active private server team anyway

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

the upcoming Magic The Gathering MMOARPG sounds like it has a lot in common with Marvel Heroes if yall haven't seen much on that yet. F2P game, starts you off with a single class of your choice, earn currency through drops while playing to unlock other classes. it's a diablo-like focused on co-op stuff, too. just instead of gear you get card drops to build a small 'deck' out of that you draw from and play in the real-time combat. casting spells, summoning monsters that fight alongside you, all the card game stuff but like... realtime, isometric ARPG with friends. there's class skill tree stuff too, and you don't have to match the color of your cards to the color of your class so in theory there's a lot of freedom for crazy builds. possibly. need to play the game to really see.

it's entering open beta mid-March so it may be worth checking out. this feels like it could be the closest thing to a MH style game we get for a while.
