ndub posted:the new poe expansion is dope as hell, again, for the second time in four months. how do they do it? how do they crank out so much content and then give it away for free, every time? dozens of new maps, a dynamically shifting endgame, d2 style oskill items, half a dozen new corpse explosion skills, and new endgame bosses they make new content to play through the main priority gaz always had this serious problem where improvements to the game were mostly in the form of new stuff to play as, instead of new stuff to do. i mean there was new stuff to do occasionally, but a more actively expanding game would have implemented in a year what MH did in five years, especially considering how much of the "new" content was mostly just recycled content.

Lechtansi posted:I don't understand why people want a private server. The game is half finished garbage right now, if anything we would want mid 2015 MH back. swg's private server crowd implemented old-swg in a similar situation because nobody liked swg as it was when it died

Dark_Swordmaster posted:You have elected to use potentially the worst example of private servers there could be. At least with this being an ARPG instead of an MMO it may not have as rampant of admin abuse. i don't have any commentary on how it's run as i haven't paid attention in years, just that implementing the best version of an online game rather than the most recent one has been done before

malhavok posted:Yeah, MH for all its faults was super fun to run around smashing poo poo in. I've tried PoE, their character building is amazing but actually playing the game feels like total rear end. did you play for very long? did you try out more than a couple of skills to see differences in playstyle? poe feels terrible at first because the default movement speed is unbearably slow but eventually you can be as much of a wrecking ball as any MH hero.

Zokari posted:Not unless you're willing to spend real money. Or trade for like 100 respec orbs. you can't buy a full respec with real money, either honestly though a full respec is never, ever necessary in PoE. you go for a particular main skill and build around it, and the particular combination of gear you're using on a character usually isn't good for many other skills if any, so a full respec with the intention of doing something different amounts to a character restart. but at the same time, an effectively full respec can often be done with far fewer than 100 orbs, since (depending on how mechanically similar the new skill you want to use is) much of your passive skill tree might be the same as the previous build. so it's not infeasible. and regret orbs are not prohibitively expensive to trade for. Ugly In The Morning posted:I really liked being able to play MH drunk as a lord and both not die and get lootsplosions while using some of my favorite superheroes as PC's. PoE is too technical and if I got whiskeyed up and spent skill points I might end up regretting it. you can't fight the final bosses shitfaced in poe but lots of skills aren't particularly brainy to play against normal enemies and bosses. as i said above, tinkering with your points is not really a big deal Jazerus fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Dec 13, 2017 |

Erdricks posted:I'm sure poe is a fine game, but it is also too serious of a game. Anything that I could seriously, unchangeably gently caress up while drunk is not a game I need to be involved with i don't want to just endlessly defend poe here but where on earth does this perception come from? you can't gently caress up anything permanently, there's always a way out and it's unlikely to be very hard to do. literally everything about your character other than base class can be changed if you don't like a choice you have made unless you buy a super expensive unique and then brick it with a vaal orb, but that's kind of like feeling threatened by MH while drunk because you might dump your stash out onto the floor

Sea Lily posted:hi everyone i had a dream last night that someone had set up a private server for Marvel Heroes, and figured out how to add new content, and used this to add Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble to the game as playable and as team-ups. their base costumes were how they looked in the live action Flintstones movie in the 90s for some reason. it was a horrible nightmare

super sweet best pal posted:I keep getting rolled at endgame because of the drop to resistances. even if you aren't in a guild you can buy high resist gear for pennies getting outfitted at a level to do white maps isn't tough if you do some market searching for the gear mod combinations you want, and then from there you just accumulate currency and get upgrades so that you can keep ascending up the atlas

Adult Sword Owner posted:Oh boy scraping, huh i don't see how putting a few minimum requirements into the trade search engine, which automatically then finds you the cheapest deals that meet your requirements, is too much to ask for, especially since there will be literally thousands of items very cheap for beginning-of-endgame quality gear

LORD OF BOOTY posted:I'm actually really kind of surprised nobody's hacked together a server emulator or anything for this yet. Clearly there's demand, given that there's a horde of unbelievable brokebrains in this thread passing around memes that have long since become so divorced from their original context as to be bizarre and incomprehensible to outsiders. it's really hard to make a server emulator for a game that shuts down abruptly. nobody had enough time to prod the server in every possible way to gather logs of server-client communication so that it could be reverse-engineered

Adult Sword Owner posted:It's the one where leveling is absolutely terrible, it uses the worst and least fun systems from Diablo 2 like wearing armor slows your speed significantly and stat bonuses rule lawyers you on the difference between "increased by" x%" and "increased x%", and its possible to gently caress up your char unless they give a respec because of a major change or you give them cash money respecs are purchased with in game currency only and majorly adjusting your character isn't that expensive even

RosaParksOfDip posted:Move skills weren't spammable anymore. They had charges and long cooldowns to get charges back. Everyone got a free "sprinting" power, but it was infinitely slower than teleporting like a madman. They said something like, "Why the gently caress did we build this whole level if people are gonna just teleport through it? gently caress you nerds, you're seeing every inch of our meticulously hand-crafted level". over the course of the whole game they built like 30 "levels" max. a single doom2 wad is bigger than that smdh at a corporation whining about nobody seeing their levels when actually we all saw them a million times

ponzicar posted:They consolized the movement and skill system of the PC version. I think one of the devs said it was because while they were developing the console version, they thought they were going to lose the license for the PC platform, but it apparently got extended. It was nice of them to make the game bad so that the actual death wasn't quite as painful I guess. it would be way too expensive to hire a professional switch flipper dude

Humerus posted:That would be way too good for Gaz, each costume would have its own currency. Extra currency for the hero itself would be used to upgrade their ultimate! it's ridiculous that an objectively disparaging post like this would make me desperate to play marvel heroes, but folks, the heart wants what the heart wants

Holyshoot posted:To be fair. Path of exile has this but it's tied into gems and they actually try to balance them. poe is really good. objectively a better game than marble hebrons. but it's not the same thing each hero was a package of skills, not a mix and match deal like poe. because of that everybody felt very different whereas in poe certain skills get used by many different kinds of builds. gently caress i want this game to exist again

Diabetic posted:
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.  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
