I can't fit my quick move on the bars of Punisher or SW without either losing DPS or a massive utility spell

Summoner Ultron isn't as messed up as I expected it to be. I can't quite walk away and let robots kill Midtown dudes for a few minutes like I used to, but it's alright. Biggest bummer is that intelligence is no longer linked to ally damage so a bunch of the gear that I have is good for speeding up medpack usage and that's about it.

I have to change a lot of gear on people or redo the challenge bonuses because that stat no longer helps them

Kind of lovely but ok

Yeh honestly right now this is basically a test realm for players to make sure skills go off and do damage as they should but current content scaling expects a totally different gear system

Messed around for a couple hours. Ranged Taskmaster was ok but not great. Dr. Strange was a little better but I really want 2 more hotkeys on him. I'd really like to see dash/teleport/cc breaks and signatures have their own keybinding since every hero needs those 2 skills. Human Torch was amazing, love how he plays now and the variety of builds.

I agree, I can't fit Roll on Punisher without losing DPS, I can't put Teleport on Switch without losing a massive survival cooldown, and I had to basically spec a specific way on Blade to fit Roll on the board as well

There's no reason for even Sigs to not have their own keybind but :fax:

i disagree

seriously, this game was a trivial slog with zero actual difficulty for a very long time. the best characters were ALWAYS the ones who do the most damage because survivability was trivial.

i made my right click on iron fist good fortune kick despite not using either of the stances associated with it because it dashes to enemies and is on a very short cooldown, giving me more mobility and versatility. it is good design to have ways of increasing effectiveness beyond "more bigger numbers."

been enjoying the hell out of the game since i've been playing it again and a large part of that is actually having to micro in a lot of situations. i like having more expected of me than just standing near enemies and mashing my rotation over and over again regardless of what is happening around me.

I'm not saying that an active choice for survival is bad, I'm saying that choices in talents that are "more damage or survival" are bad because people are always going to either be so casual they don't give a gently caress and just pick the one with the coolest name, or will min-max aka read some websites and be told what to pick

And even then, not even talent-wise, active skill-wise: it's just odd. SW has 3 powerful survival skills that become even more powerful with talents, while there are characters with zero extra survival skills or talents.

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.

Balance is still..kind of weird

There's still nothing in the game to do except prestige, which requires doing the storyline from start to whenever you hit 60 (which with a few boosts is around chapter 3), but they also seem to be breaking at least one quest line a day which prevents you from continuing at some point. It was Taskmaster a few days ago, yesterday (did they fix this?) it was the actual prologue.

Asros and Winterthur have been giving out free stuff the last couple days or however long in some of the marble hebrons streams.

I was lucky enough to get a code for what I guess was a megapack 3. I don't know exactly, because I don't know how to scale down the receipt so I can read it in-game. Gave me every hero up to Beast, stash, default costumes, team-ups up to Jubilee, and 36500 G's.

Is there a good guide for what to do at sixty? Even though I've played this game a bunch, I feel sort of lost and confused a lot of the time, and that's double now that I've got a character at max level.

Whichever of Hightown/Midtown/Industry drops what you need, second to whichever is in an event rotation

Once you get geared you want the cosmic versions of those as well (takes a LOT of gear)

Unlock and do the Hammer Bay dailies

Get carried in a raid when you can (not so much these days)
