Monday Morning Update 10/26 - Marvel Heroes 2015
Hey all, happy Monday. (Not the band.)

Wanted to give an update on this week and the rest of the year in general!

Blade

Blade had a good weekend of testing and feedback and we have lots to address today. There are some small changes that'll go to Test Center later today that were done over the weekend. Thanks again for all the feedback!

Danger Room

Danger Room's had a lot of great feedback and we're working on some pretty big changes. The difficulty is pretty far off where it should be and we're working on that, and this weekend had more bug reports to work through. This is mid-November at the earliest due to bugs and some upcoming changes that will need testing. We're dedicated to making Danger Room awesome and we know the delay will help us achieve that.

Defense Changes

This is still underway. We're shooting for mid-November, but it's a big task that'll need a solid amount of testing from you guys as well as QA. I'd like to ship this separately from Danger Room, as they may muddy the waters of each others' testing. We're very happy with how it's shaping out though, and it's allowing us to make some nice changes to systems that have been needed for a while.

Halloween Event

The Halloween Event is returning this week, along with the spoopy Avengers Tower decorations and a brand new Halloween costume and Team-Up that'll be in the store (Frankencastle). Frankencastle was actually finished last year, but we chose Brood Wolverine over him, so he gets his time to shine this year.

Deadpool 52

I've answered it a few times, but a nice central post is needed. Deadpool's 52 is currently scheduled to go live in December with Marvel Heroes 2016. It's very important to us to get him done by the release of MH2016 as he's the last review, but if players at that point feel he needs more work, he'll hang out on TC for a bit longer. As to why he's been delayed- he has a lot of new animations and powers, and we felt that getting the Defense Review done sooner rather than later was very important.

Upcoming Heroes

Magik is up next after Blade. Iron Fist is after her, with Black Cat on the thread between December and January.

Upcoming Team-Up Heroes

Agent Venom is the next Team-Up Hero to be released. He is planned to ship sometime in December.

Marvel Heroes 2016

Planned to ship in December. Just reiterating.

Costume Sale for Halloween?

Yes. <3

In Closing

Have a good week, everybody. See you out there in the streets of Midtown today. (Just kidding last time I was there I got really sick.)

Not enhanced so very doubtful. At best they may have modified the voice work slightly, like how they added a reverb to the Binary costume for Captain Marvel.

*edit*

Frankencastle TU might be the new best dps active TU though.

very late to the game, but picked this up about a month ago. finished cyclopes to 60, and have the next few heroes planned out i want to play. unlocked punisher next, figure i'll struggle through it but not enjoying it. i also have hulk, my fav character from comics in general, so plan to go back to him when i want to enjoy the story.

i've got 2 pets, probably should have researched a bit more. spider gwen has great banter, much needed counter to f'in cyclops. franken-punisher pet seemed a good idea for the skin...

i've got a bunch of 'stuff' that i can't figure out if i should save or do something w/. the types of items (runes, glyphs, etc.) and currency is very daunting to start. i've never liked crafting in mmos, so my stashes are full of stuff i don't want to spend time researching to understand.

my goal currently is to get through a few characters for the exp & synergy bonuses. so obviously did cyclops first, committed to punisher next. after i was thinking Rogue. do hp-on-hit and hp-on-kill every useful with leveling characters? i figure after a handful of characters, i'll focus on what's most effective at getting omega points.

does rogue make sense or are there better characters for leveling to 60 for the exp bonus and a more useful synergy for new accounts?

what 'stuff' should i bother with? my hank pym crafter is 14, but i haven't bothered to make a single item after the newbie quests. what stuff should i look for and upgrade on characters i probably won't play much post 60?

Lot of questions, but I'll try to answer a few. For saving stuff, look into what your endgame runeword and enchants will be, and save the runes for that. Extra bank space is one of the best things to buy if you're spending cash. For farming omega, or farming in general, a hero with a teleport is almost always superior just for the ability to teleport to an end boss and kill it within moments of entering the zone. Leveling your crafter to I think 18? should be a priority as I think that's when the recipe to convert 5x uniques into a big credit chest unlocks.

As for which heroes to level for synergy bonuses, it really depends per hero. Heroes like cyclops or storm give universally useful perks, while other heroes like rocket raccoon have a bonus that is either core to a build, or worthless, depending on what you're playing. Every hero at max level contributes to your account-wide synergy exp bonus, so overall I'd say just level the ones you enjoy. Especially if you don't intend to go into min-max endgame optimizations.

I leveled blade to 60 with Frankencastle and don't think he even has voice work. He never said anything the entire time.

Youll usually only use one of either Rogue or Punisher. If your going to level heroes for synergies the first one to look at is warmachine for his +1 fighting which is used universally.

Cable, Wolverine, Squirrel Girl, and War Machine are core synergies for every hero. Every hero will also use one of Star Lord, Ghost Rider, or Moon Knight depending on their damage type. Other very common synergies are Ant-Man, Dr Doom, Loki, She Hulk, and Winter Soldier.

Blade's synergy with Never Sated and his Ult is pretty lulz worthy, nearly one shot cosmic patrol wave at rank 3. Feel like sated's gonna get a slight nerf coming up.

blade isn't getting nerfed for at least 6-8 months, seeing as how it will probably take 3-4 months to actually finish him.

Uh, Doom is top ten for any hero who uses a sig every 20 seconds or quicker.
Its not even close. One hero may get away with using Dooms synergy in top 10, Daredevil and thats only because he actively reduces the cooldown on his sig. The cooldown on the characters sig has little to no effect just because the skills damage is a direct link to the cooldown on it, a 20 second cooldown sig does about half the damage of say Scarlet Witch's 40 second cooldown. Overall a characters sig has to do 20% of his total dps for it to be even worth a 2% damage synergy while for just about everyone they dont get over 15%. Now think about that, a lvl 25 nightcrawler synergy alone is better for every melee hero than Dooms sig. Its so far off the top 10 that its not even funny. The math just doesnt support it.

Youre probably getting mixed up in thinking that its a true 10% increase to damage while in fact its about a 400 damage rating increase to a skill with a long cooldown.

Yeah I never really thought about the math properly.

Anyway, Blade is top tier as fuck after this weeks changes.

Magick waifu is out now, she seems pretty good. Melee + pets. her summon system seems overly complicated, didn't really pay attention just jammed her to 60.

she sucks. they nerfed her hard right before pushing her live. her melee does shit damage and supposedly her summons are undertuned too.
