Gee thanks for an 8.8 gigabyte patch the week that I'm away on a snowboard trip with lovely hotel wifi going 130kbps. Maybe I'll get to check it out in a few days.

sorry davebo it's genetic, there's not much you can do about it



A sad catalyst.

I hate having sub-optimal cores on my main two dudes so I've been trying to get armored cores for some good ones, but without the ability to transfer the near perfect affixes I have rolled I feel like I shouldn't even bother. I already burned through a lot of cash boxes fruitlessly trying to reroll a orders of the skrull empire flag. I had such a good one but of course +1 all got switched to +1-3 fighting and mine rolled a 1. I need to just chill out until all the guides tell me exactly what to do because screw trying to figure it all out on my own instead of actually playing the game.

Even if the reason isn't new content, it's nice just to have this be my main game again. I mean, it only ever wasn't for like 3 weeks when I was mainly playing gta5 with goons but still.

Wouldn't that be a compliment? Chocolate's pretty good imo.

Also I hope everyone only uses Jubilee with Wolverine because it's cartoon canon(maybe comics I never read them). Also davebo will you be making sure all 3 of your wolverines have Jubilee?

No because that would require logging in on my alts and sorting through all the garbage created by the update. At this point I'm gonna leave them both unlogged for long enough to guarantee I get those 95% G discounts when I do log in, and then not bother using them like last time. Unless, can I just buy a ton of G's then gift stuff to other accounts? I dunno, it's just such a pain playing melee characters with travel being what it is.

Jubilee sucked even before she was a vampire though, and I'll only be using her as a team-up when I'm in a lore-appropriate Wolvie costume.

Why would davebo use jubilee when wolverine himself is a team up

I used to but sometimes I mix it up. I just make sure to use holo-sim Wolverine teamup on every other hero in the game, so that my screen is never without a Wolverine.

Out of curiosity does anyone have a count of how many heroes the gorilla necklace is BiS for now? The game had so many phys heroes it was such a useful artifact, but now it seems it's for +strength people only which is like 5 dudes?

Wolverine is fun and good, actually.

Like, not davebo levels of cosmicing on a fresh account good, but I took him to green 60 when I only intended to take him to green Just Finished The Raft Because His Gear Was Vendor Trash And I Wanted 1/3 Of A Random Costume For No Loss, and it was fine. He's flimsy as gently caress with low gear though.

Incidentally, the costume I eventually got with that Wolverine costume was Phoenix Force Emma, so prestiging was actually a mistake.

Yeah we did a red raid the other day and I used Wolverine. He's decent for what he's always been decent for, single target boss sorta-tanking. Which is to say I do move around a tiny bit. Honestly with teleporting being nerfed I'd go back to Wolvie as my main over Deadpool, but since Deadpool was so fast he long since overtook Wolverine for most hours played, and if I switch back now I'll never get the 1000 hours on one hero achievement :P

This is just cruel. RIP teleporting and having fun.

Man, you're just "resistant to change" you Oldie McOldson. All the hip young kids love walking slowly around big levels and waiting for travel powers to charge up then get interrupted by mobs as you drive around.

The travel change really feels redundant now that they've added more changes in. I get that the idea was they wanted us the play through content and not just teleport to bosses and kill them in 5 seconds. Okay, so now we all do poo poo for damage compared to the old days so the bosses don't die immediately, and they added this BIF bar that encourages us to kill mobs instead of bosses, and the story mode can't be cheesed but you level up super fast playing through it normally anyway. Seems like adding back in dashes wouldn't affect any of the issues they wanted to solve.

So today is my first anniversary (which is the paper anniversary) and I got my wife this Legend of Zelda shadowbox thing that a goon makes on his etsy shop, customized with our names and wedding date. Thought it was a nice sweet gift but my wife just crushed it with what she gave me. Went on etsy and found someone who draws your faces onto cartoons, then printed onto a big framed poster.

She's from the south and has always liked Rogue, and our cat is a lovely rear end in a top hat so Cyclops is perfect.

I felt dirty playing marvel with non-goons but last night I teamed up with another group on discord that was planning to cheese the PvP Hero Specific achievements. Ended up taking a lot longer than expected as some people wanted to go for the Kills the Marvel Universe title that we already cheesed back in the day, but it was a good time and got me back into the 50's on the leaderboard, which is somehow important to me for reasons? I dunno wtf, why can't I just quit this game?

Welp, this crowning achievement of mine represents a lot of concentration, hard work, and most of all, idling in the danger room hub while playing Windows Spider Solitaire or otherwise doing something more constructive with my computer than Marvel Heroes.


The first thing I did when I got it was switch back to Wolvie and do the danger room tournament. Feels good, man.

i feel like it's closer than that. hrm.

That of course will depend on the hero and slot unique you're talking about, and how long you've been picking up that slot's unique and getting better rolls. I got that 1k hours on deadpool and I still pick up his uniques. There are a couple stats I could stand to improve on some but who am I kidding, at this point I'll never find better ones. Of course I could turn off the cosmic vacuum for some slots, but that's way too many cosmics dropping and checking. I just wouldn't bother with it.

At this point with them simplifying things, it might actually be nice if uniques were a little less unique, so you could more easily eyeball the difference between them and cosmics. But really who cares when you know Omegas will be out eventually and nullifying all this hard work you've put into min/maxing your slot 4 booties.

I got a great melee/STR one a week or so ago, but when I checked the stats it counted like a few over the total on the second BSR. The two at the bottom weren't actually stacking, which I guess is what the alt-text is only listing the lower total.
