Really annoyed my timezone means I arrived at work just as the servers went down for maintenance.

Looking forward to relearning the heroes - marvelheroes.info has even taken down the Builds section.

Mystic Mystery 6 has been nerfed, although I don't know how. I had it when I logged in.

Reinvite to the SG please, IGN is JeditOjanen.

Probably halved the requirement, which I think was something like 6300 demons.

They're still good - I had a think about reviewing the recommended characters, but decided they were all still good picks. Cyclops' place on the list was earned just because he was a basic ranged character you could level with one-button, his expanded attack range and call-in moves makes him an interesting glass-cannon type of character you can build around different debuffs or attack type procs.

The best thing to do is just think about what type of character you enjoy playing (melee/ranged etc) and there'll be at least 3 or 4 options to choose from.

Whoa, that;s a pretty big revamp. I'm gonna log back in and try my favorite boy Loki again.
Last time I left he was an invincible gently caress machine.

Loki has like an entire third spec now.

Just the changes to his illusions build are ridiculous - the illusion bomb now has two different versions and neither of them kill your illusions.

Man, everyone's so pessimistic right off the bat.

Here's my cosmic-capable Loki illusions build

Basically this plays like the old illusions build, except I've forsaken Enthrall for more interesting options - again, the core of the build is just whacking people with a staff while blowing Ruin every time it's up, but now you have a bunch of other options for your slots and you no longer lose Illusions to anything other than duration. Hardlight Spikes directly increases the damage taken from your illusions, so we want that, and we may as well take Otherworldly Blast to feed back into it. Signature, and movement, of course - I've chosen to enhance mine to Cold Snap because with all the illusions up you can afford to just get the gently caress away from mobs to recover rather than rely on 2 seconds of stealth, and it affords more aoe when you're in the fray. Finally, Arcane/Infernal Binding for CC, and Asgardian Light because I had more bar apace - I originally took Spirits of the Dead because it looks cool, but swapped as AL offers another CC option, health regen, and my summon talent choices meant I had 20% Light boost with no Darkness boost.

So I built a Doom that feels pretty cool, but holy poo poo his damage is so pathetic. I don't know if it's just because I thought I'd run Cosmic Doom, but where I would usually blow the ultimate while Doom was transforming to his final form because it only took about half the ultimate to kill him, the entire ultimate did barely 1/3rd damage. I kind of feel like I should find out if that's just how Cosmic Doom is now, but on the other hand gently caress that, the fight was so goddamn long and boring.

For the record, I progressed through the entire story up to chapter 6 where I hit level 60. The Taskmaster bug just requires you to port to Hood's ship (rip all new players) and then go backward until it credits you with leaving the Institute. I didn't have any disconnects at all.

There's still poo poo characters but the entire thing has been shaken up so it's hard to tell who's a poo poo character, what's just a poo poo build that no longer works, and who just needs specific gear/INFINITY to become not poo poo.

They are still dropping - I got like 8 or 9 during my ~two hours of play last night. Weirdly I got a burst of 5 and a double at one point without any non-xp boosts running, so maybe they were actually live tuned off.

I find hand ninjas are unusually bullshit for some reason because dashes either CC break or they move you, and they don't provide any CC immunity so as soon as you get mobbed by ninjas you can't do anything because they're chain stun kicking you in the face.

You don't want to always be charging because that would make selling items or even switching characters impossible. But what you think the talent would do, which is turn it from a cooldown into a momentum dump, doesn't work out that way because it doesn't eat up that much momentum so any time you stop charging you almost instantly have full momentum again and can go straight back to charging.

The good thing is they removed cosmic bounties, so sprinting to the boss is always the best option despite their stated intent being to reduce boss rushing.

I started playing Diablo 3 to scratch that ARPG itch, and now this drop. Can anybody provide me an update on my Metal Mans? War Machine, Colossus, Iron Man, and Luke Cage.

I'm hoping the update actually put some balance effort in to the people who were lackluster, and some polish into heroes that were janky to play, but you know, Gaz.

Colossus is pretty good - he's still very much just a basic punch mans, but he has a full range of Cyclops call-ins, no spirit, and the only downside is some forums sperg has gotten them to put a stupid looking headbutt in his punching animations.

Giedroyc posted:

Yeah story changes kinda suck, you can't just do prologue, chapter 1, hood, shield outpost, elektra, kingpin, juggernaut, mags etc etc now. You have to do every part of the story on each chapter. Unsure if you can do green story and red story seperately.

There's just 'Story' - there's no difference between green or red versions.

I tried this game out a hella long time ago (like, two years ago) - tried out Colossus before I got overwhelmed at all the poo poo dropping and the legendaries and cosmics and craft items and loot crates and the tiny storage space and Saw this thread and jumped back in to try it out, and I still have no idea what's going on - I can gain health faster than I lose it by punching guys in the face, and I can spawn/summon dudes when I punch to help me punch more, though, which is awesome! Still have no loving idea what the gently caress is with crafting and enchanting and whatever else - is that something I need to worry about in the future? I've kept all the runes and crafting items I've found, but I'm a klepto and my stash box has maybe two spots left. Also, I'm level 48 or something but Hightown only unlocks at 60, and I want to finish Colossus before I switch heroes or whatever - is there somewhere I should go to grind or should I do some of those legendary quest things?

Oh, and could someone add me to Groot Squad? My user name is JaymeSilver - thanks!

Generally don't worry too much about runes unless they have an icon when they're off the screen. Idiots like myself who have multiple stashes have hundreds that go unused. Crafting is mostly a max level thing, although while the holiday event is going on you should dump any Lanterns or Lunar Dragons you pick up into the Crafter's Donate slot - this levels them and increases the range of recipes you can use, and event drops like that tend to be unusually valuable. You need at most one stack of the essences/filaments, but if you're itching for space they drop at a higher frequency at max level anyway and are only used in any large quantity when you're min-maxing end-game gear.

Finish off any Story missions you have that don't offer a Story Reward Box - those are the best places for xp at the moment (ones with a box are basically no xp and take forever to do). If you're out then any Legendary Quest for a Terminal is your best bang for buck, then any other Legendary Quest. Also, if you have Story quests and you're finding it too easy you can pump the difficulty up to Red when you're using the waypoint and that'll give you more xp in general.

cl_gibcount 9999 posted:

what would be neat is if some of the affixes give you access to one of your talents, letting you pick another one in the same tier so you can have both

Of the examples Rawr gave, only Black Cat and War Machine had interesting effects. Black Cat's added Deadpool Caltrops to her stealth roll, while War Machine's added enhanced ammo effects to his laser blade.

I think the most interesting interactions will come if they can implement affixes that rather than simply giving you a talent so you have two from the same tier force you into thinking about changing your existing choice for that tier to another one, especially for those characters who have specific specs that are completely unfeasible without certain talents. Something like an affix for Doom that summons his different Latverian bots whenever you hit with a physical/energy/mental power would mean that you're like, wow, okay to run a summoner I can take this and swap out the bot summon skill and the talent to make it summon all three, but the trade-off is I can't pop them at will as part of a handgun rotation and I have to play the full range of damage types rather than specialising into tech or magic.

Wilfred Wong pointed out that heroes that have Fighting or Energy have an uphill climb because they have to either sacrifice Crit / Brutal chance respectively to boost their main stats (particularly rough in the case of Rocket and Cable, who have Fighting and Energy as main stats).

I wonder if the Steam response to the patch has made them consider rushing the rebrand to wipe out all the negative reviews, or if it's made them hesitant about pushing out a rebrand and losing all the positive reviews.

The new patch is good, I hated Diablo 2's skill system and Diablo 3's is much better.

How do the infinity gems work? Is it a parallel pool to spend in each gem? Do infinity levels persist across characters?

They're individual pools that fill up in sequence - so you earn a point in one gem then the next. Your total points persist across characters but allocating them is a per-character choice.

But holy poo poo I can't believe they dropped their "biggest update ever" with no new items to chase, no new modes or zones or terminals or really anything that would incentivize old returning players to stick around. They either should've delayed the update until omega items were ready to go, or put priority on them to be out in the next few weeks.

Releasing the skills was at least something to do after months of no content.

I run story with 200% synergy, a 50% pot, and I've just run out of 100% rush bars. I'm also insane, so all of my characters already have level 26-30 Mole Man medallions. I do everything but Prologue at red difficulty.

So wait, is Doom the only actual-summoner who scales off of Int now that they changed Squirrel Girl to Fighting/Speed? Follow-up that is probably asked-and-answered, but does that make him the actual-summoner with artifacts that give +summon damage and +a stat you want?

Iron Legion Sheath, Luke's Lucky Chain, Nutso the Squirrel, and SHIELD Badge all offer stats for other summoners.

100% they haven't moved summon to scale off regular stats because doing so makes summoners scaling multiplicative rather than additive and therefore a complete balance nightmare.

Diablo 3 Witch Doctor is a significantly more known-quantity issue. Summons are actually treated as a stacking DoT with finicky targeting from top to bottom as every Diablo 3 skill is built to scale from your DPS. Skills are nothing but a multiplier to your stats. Gargantuan is (say) 1000% of your whatever your auto-attack is. If you upgrade an item that increases your DPS by 1% then your Gargantuan gains 1% damage. And, unlike Marvel Heroes, if you want a summon you have to give up that skill slot - there's no passive summons.

In Gaz's case they would be looking at, just in the case of Doom, trying to balance a no-summons build against everything from the exact same build except with a talent that makes them deploy a base 3x15,000-20,000 'DoT' whenever they attack to one that has anywhere from 3 to like 12 roaming DoTs at any given time, all with their own base damage multiplied by your stats, and keep that scaling factor consistent across all characters as well as tune the base damage so that it's as useful at level 2 when you have 5 stats boosting them as it is at level 60 when you have 50+. It's way out of their depth.

All the cool kids hang out in Hammer Bay because it's only two dashes across in the first place.

Youtube suggested a TonyBing video to me wherein he talked about one-shotting Cosmic Mandarin with his Blade build - sounds like the removal of 17 point talents has really stepped up his game!
he 100% meant finishing it without dying to the boss
