Ya, I'm stoked to start playing tomorrow despite some of my issues with it in CB. Going to buy Spiderman and go to town (assuming they recognize my purchase).

How are they doing with patches? Are they doing daily fixes or any frequency of downtimes?

Post about next patch in the patcher:

GAME MAINTENANCE: 2AM PDT MAY 31ST
5/30/13: We will be taking the Marvel Heroes game servers offline overnight tonight for maintenance and to apply a new game patch. Downtime will begin at 2AM PDT (5AM EDT, 10AM BST) and is expected to last up to 4 hours, although it may finish earlier. Patch notes will follow in the forums; thank you in advance for your patience.
I don't remember one last night but I certainly wasn't awake and playing at 4AM CDT.

Can anyone tell me what the Hank Pym service "Transform Epic" actually does? So far all it does is take my money and give me back the same exact item.

EDIT: Per the SA thread, what it does is "convert a Very Rare for a different character into a Very Rare for your current character", so basically lets you swap purples around between your heroes.

Streamers have been buying things, so most likely yes. Hard to be certain for heroes since the current players already have them all and have no option to buy them.

Sorry but I haven't been following this game/thread very much but saw it pop up on Steam and seems interesting. Is the overall consensus of the game that is is fun and I should check it out? I should note I am trying to avoid time-sucking MMORPGs anymore. More a game I can hop into for an hour or two a day and doesn't require 8 hours of raiding to be competitive.

As a note I played the fuck out of Marvel Ultimate Alliance

It's not necessary a "great" game, but I find it to be definitely a lot of fun.

It's great to play for a few hours here and there, especially if you like playing alts.

It's free to play so give it a shot if you like ARPG's. It doesn't have as much depth as games like Path of Exile but I've enjoyed it so far. I don't really see myself playing it long-term though unless they are quick with the content releases.

Its the perfect "I've got a few hours to kill, I want to mindlessly kill Super Villians" game. It's better than MUA imo anyways. There are problems with it, but its f2p so the only thing you'd be spending is time. I'd give it a whirl. I plomped $60 on it and don't regret it in the least.

Can you play by yourself or do you require a group at higher levels? I assume since you said it accommodates drop-in and play it is very solo friendly.

Reduced the severity of problems with bodysliders, by preventing your checkpoint from being changed to a town, if you have already unlocked that town.

Known Issues


Guild functionality is currently disabled, and War Machine has been temporarily removed from the game. This functionality will be re-enabled as soon as possible.
French and German localization is almost, but not entirely complete; some English text may be found.
Mr Sinister?s Clones have green pet VFX on them.
Powers that deal damage over time currently cannot score critical hits.
After being defeated by Pyro, there is a chance that players will be brought back to Xavier?s School rather than the beginning of the instance where Pyro is found.



UI and In-Game Store:

Paypal is currently disabled as a payment option.
Store icons for Black Widow and Spider-Man display an incorrect costume. Black Widow comes equipped with costume from Marvel?s The Avengers; Spider-Man comes equipped with his Modern costume.



Missions:

Destroy Sentinel Fragment: There is an invisible wall blocking mission progress.
Find Agent Baker: Agent Baker does not spawn, so mission cannot be completed.



Endgame ? Daily Missions:

Avenger?s Mansion:

Green Daily ? Castle Doom ? Mini Map appears to be unpopulated and shows nothing.
Red Daily ? Abandoned Subway - Shocker's AI intermittently stops working. He won't attack, but he'll turn to face you.


Xavier?s School/SHIELD Helicarrier:

Green Daily ? Castle Doom ? Dr. Doom?s number of affixes change depending on his form rather than staying constant as intended.
Green Daily ? Castle Doom - Dr. Doom?s number of affixes change depending on his form rather than staying constant as intended.

Tombstone Medal: Tooltip displays incorrect dodge percentage.



Characters

Some emotes are not working for Cable and Deadpool.

Some gear icons are black silhouettes ? gear can still be equipped.

Aggressive Shout: The power has both a 10 second buff and an ongoing (lasts until turned off) buff. Only one of them is shown.
Invigorating Shout: The power has a 10-second buff and an ongoing (lasts until turned off) effect, but it does not show either of them. Health regeneration does not show up on character sheet
Combat Veteran: Power currently has no effect.



Cable

Searing Shot: Visual Effects when hitting enemy are not seen.



Colossus

Lingering Boon: Tooltip is incorrect. Each rank actually extends aura duration by 2 seconds.



Jean Grey

Mask gear slot incorrectly labeled as ?Jacket slot?.



Rocket Raccoon

Forceful Shot: Power unlocks at level 12 and should unlock at level 10.
Tactical Destruction: Tooltip does not correctly display bonus damage from shield cost.



Spider-Man

Evasive Websling: If there is no enemy targeted, power will land in incorrect location.



Thing:

Yancy Street Taunt: Can be used repeatedly without costing spirit after the initial spirit consumption.



Wolverine:

Regeneration Boost: Tooltip is incorrect. Power does not spend Fury to gain health faster as described.
Smell Weakness: Damage vulnerability is causing the enemy to take less damage rather than more.

In Beta I was doing *some* of the group stuff solo. You can solo almost everything in the game from what I've seen. Though the purple portal stuff (daily missions) require groups. 1-30 though is a breeze solo for any hero. Servers still down which is a bit annoying... want to play when I get home.

Wow, I was hoping the servers be up by the time I got home, disappointing.

As regards to soloing, depending on your hero and build, you can solo some of the end game group contents. I was doing so as Cable.

So the servers did come up around 12:30-01:00AM CDT last night, and a number of the issues I had in my previous post have been resolved.

Yerp. Got on last night and messed around with Spidey (avoided him on purpose in Beta). Like the hero a lot - going to get 2-3 up to level 10 then focus on Spidey exclusively.

Any good streams going on this weekend? I've found two on twitch, but for the last hour they seem to be spending 90% of the time messing with their inventory or in a hub.

Parroting this question, I didn't get to play as much as I hoped in beta(though I enjoyed what I did) so I'd love to see actual gameplay especially if real time.

Game is pretty fun. Tried out wolverine and healing factor was hugely sweet. Then I noticed deadpool had it too and could be played from range. Deadpool don't give no shits, he mows things down.

Question: Do heroes/costumes drop from trash mobs at all? So far I've found 1 costume, from Venom on the jersey docks or whatever.

Alright, I don't get it, I looked everywhere, and I didn't find any way to start playing. You guys are open beta testers or something? Founder's pack purchasers?

Only thing I found was 2+ early excess if you bought a founder pack, but even 19.99 is too much for me for this given how long I tend to play these superhero games.
