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

goons default to just whining about poo poo and also care about ~their items~

bummed to find out that omega items aren't out yet. items that aren't just stat sticks are gonna do a lot for this game, it also allows them to add to old characters over time without doing an entire rework.

do uniques still drop at least?

Is this a fun ARPG or not

yes. it is very good. it stagnated for a while but the game is changing in broad ways for the better.

if it fails to regain any sort of audience it will probably be goodbye which would suck cause i like this game but oh well.

NecroMonster posted:

so is just everything broken at this point? oh, i guess you don't need to actually do the story for any reason at all anymore do you?

story seems to be the best way to level 1-60 now, at least on a fresh prestige. if you have any synergy bonus xp, you probably won't even get to latveria before you hit 60.

the game is "broken" in the sense that only one part of the big patch is in yet. right now, if you want to go in and grind a cosmic prestige or endgame stuff, there's nothing to do yet.

i reccomend leveling and prestiging characters to get their costumes so you can roll a random costume until that is no longer possible in the near future. at least until the omega items and difficulty adjustment parts of the patch come out.

and also you can teleport to the zones just beyond them (cargo ship for taskmaster, subway i think for mutant growth hormone factory place) and go back to trigger the quests. if you don't have the waypoints someone can group with you and teleport you to them.

patch in the morning will fix them.

i really really love that abilities with movement built in have more utility now. iron fist keeps a ton of mobility in combat because he has a few.

got iron fist to red last night, started x23. she's fun but i haven't figured out how to go about playing her. do love getting to figure out character skillsets again.

Adult Sword Owner posted:

It has never been a good design

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.

for anyone else prestiging a bunch of characters, the quest artifacts are high item grade with a level 18 req, so you can get a full blessing bonus with them at 18. not a huge boost but decent enough that it'll make 18-30ish go even faster than it does.

Man reddit is like in full on apology mode for the game, https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/5pdrih/marvel_heroes_2016_newest_update_has_been_met_by/?st=iy9aw6b8&sh=e459beaa . Geez, I have no idea how these people played the game because uhhh its not good now!!!! I like the top voted comment is from one of our own too

everything about the design philosophy of these updates is a good idea in my opinion. the defense rework was the last positive step forward for this game and i think that was like... a year and a half ago? every bit of content in the game had become trivialized.

i actually like the "playing the game" part of this game, but i understand why people who just wanted a less interactive version than marvel future fight would be upset

Grinning Goblin posted:

Content is still pretty much trivialized if you have a pulse and a pair of neurons to form a thought. The main point of infinite teleports wasn't to avoid the blatant red outline, but to just get from one worthwhile encounter to the next, it is still piss easy to avoid poo poo from bosses with the limited dashes you have now. Killing bosses a bit more slowly isn't that big of a deal since it allows them to get some abilities off, but very little has changed in terms of actual playable content for the end game. The biggest change is that the 2s of invulnerability from medkits are gone and that really did need to go.

i think this is just wrong based on my experience leveling up a bunch of people. i have had a ton of fun in fights against elites and bosses, with chest rooms, world events, etc. game is legitimately challenging in way more situations than it was before.

as for level 60 stuff, the difficulty wave of this patch is the part that matters for that and it's not here yet. trying to make observations about the difficulty of the game with regards to your characters that were steamrolling the game before aren't really valid. the changes to movement allow them to create harder difficulties that are not simple pass/fail tests like stuff was before.

# ¿ Jan 23, 2017 02:30

cams: Mar 28, 2003

i need to do more runs to know for sure but i legit think that you can get to 60 just as fast, but finish by the end of chapter 5, if you do the treasure rooms and boss rooms.

and never go to savage lands ever again

Ok, thanks everyone. Doesn't really seem worth it!

when you have enough characters at 60, you get an xp boost that caps out at 200%. i can take a character from 1-60 in about an hour, if i am playing efficiently the whole time. i really really enjoy leveling characters, so getting everyone to red 60 is how i play the game.

until the item update and difficulty update parts of THE BIGGEST UPDATE EVER come, there is very little reason to do the "endgame" stuff, so prestiging characters is where its at.

AzraelNewtype posted:

Did you not see the two dots to the right of the yellow one? Most of the cosmic affixes are defensive in nature anyway (with an easier time getting what would be high rolls of the base arti), so they basically just reward you for going full glass cannon by tempering your glass slightly.

can you click in those dots to the righy of cosmic yet? cause i didn't think you could yet

the rest of the post does not seem connected to mine so i'm unsure aboit what's going on there

cl_gibcount 9999 posted:

well if current cosmic difficulty and gaz's history of releasing new difficulties is anything to go by, the Omega difficulties will have mobs making GBS threads out a ton of damage and there's no invulnerability core to fall back on

so you'll likely want a full set of cosmic artifacts (def+dodge+deflect+hp/medkit) and good effects on your catalyst (25% heal, 3s invis, 5000hp heal for radio heroes, 20% 15s invis for mystic heroes)

all of that can be farmed up now so you're ready to go when the new difficulties drop, if that's something you want to start doing day 1

true. tbh i expect item update to be fully released by the time they're putting out the difficulty update, so i'll wait for that before i spend a bunch of time grinding for stuff.

but if that is the part of the game you enjoy the most, i reccomend doing that!

As far as I'm concerned: Is the character melee?

If yes: 1

The limitations on dashes really hurt melee characters to point where I find them all unplayable. Except for like, Nightcrawler, but that's because he has like 100 ways to move around.

so far, i have loved she hulk, x23, iron fist and blade for melee. blade is more hybrid but i played him pure melee. all three of them have at least one skill that can assist with movement in combat, if not a couple. would give all those a 5.

i've also played elektra, ant man, and silver surfer. elektra is fine but her talents are a bit wonky, the other two were boring as hell for me. give her a 3 and the other two a 1.

Would you guys recommend blending the default costumes for each character seeing as the costume has no stats now?

Or is that something I will regret later on?

the only way you'd regret it is if the wardrobe thing comes out and they require you to have the default costume to access it and you already got the character to cosmic prestige (or red and you never want to go cosmic)

roll those dice baby

x23 is really fun, objectively better than wolverine, and even has her all new costume which is completes the "better than wolverine" package.

both a full movement build or grievous wounds works, i prefer grievous wounds

I don't understand the limitation on dodge/teleport moves when they give you a travel power with it's own button now. Now I just fly over everything instead of repeatedly hitting W.

...this is the intended change. it is what they wanted you to do. they limited the amount of dodges you get so as to force you to make more intelligent decisions in certain combat situations.

# ¿ Apr 21, 2017 00:32

cams: Mar 28, 2003

apparently there was a stream with devs, here is some info an oforumer pulled

quote:

Other tidbits from the chat...
new players get 400 es after prologue,
heroes cost 200, 400, 600 apparently just like the pc version.
ES drop in game
No random hero boxes ( at least yet)
Ult upgrades only available for G (for now)
No weekly events during beta, said they would "talk about events after the open beta"

really shocked if they do end up keeping tiered pricing for characters, seemed like they recognized that as a mistake a while ago. no random boxes means i'll probably buy the avengers founder pack instead of just getting spidey or deadpool.

i am legit excited for a console version of a game i played for 2000 hours already with drastically less content. real excited.
