Read about that but didn't think it was coming this patch. Would be nice to get something soon, 19% special item find on my storm and 16% on hawkeye and not one drop yet.

Punisher was one of the characters I was looking at playing but guess I can wait a little longer.

Anyone have an idea why I only got 3 Shards from doing all the Avengers Tower (green) dailies?

I believe the shards are random drops that have a chance of dropping during dailies. I think they are called dailies because the first time you kill a boss every day you have a chance at hero/costume drops and thats an easy way to steamroll them.

I think you always get a shard for the first time you complete one.

Beat the story at lvl 20 /w SW. Refused to replace my baller drop rate gear so doom would two shot me. As a result I came to the conclusion that death is completely fucking meaningless. Get two shot, release, teleport to random group member and good to go...

Well, it appears I now have the ability to craft a portal to the "Confidential Bovine Sector"... just need a medallion from the hood, sabertooth, rhino, and the wizard. I also have a cosmic key if anyone is down for a hard mission. TalooFoH in game.

Read that the dailies are on a 20hr timer, but not sure if that timer gets reset with server resets or not. Supposedly we should get a Shard from the first kill of each boss each day, guessing my timer(s) had not run out.

Caved in and bought the Hulk, and he's all bouncy-smashing goodness...but right after that I got a drop for Colossus that had +6% atk spd, +17% atk spd (melee skill tree), fun times.

Yeah I gave up figuring out how the shards work. I have 3 alts around level thirty that I jump onto depending on my mood, and sometimes I get shards sometimes not, seemed a bit random and with the game the way it is I didn't question it too much.

How is everyone getting on with dailies and finding levelling? As Jefferson said, the xp from limbo trumps everything else so Im kind of wondering what the point of the dailies are apart from to get a shard. I dont find the loot anything spectacular, certainly not any better than what can be upgraded randomly from limbo. And while theyre fun for a quick nobrainer, I kind of run them thinking "mmmm should probably be doing limbo."

Also , where do group challenges fall in with limbo? Ive only done the ones that unlock the limbo challenges and they didn't seem any better xp/loot wise.

You get one shard per boss per character per 20 hours. The 3 green terminals share a cooldown, and the red terminals share a cooldown. So you could get 18 shards per day per character (9 green and 9 red). I don't remember if the purple console bosses drop shards.

Also the first time you kill a boss a day is the only time they can drop costumes/heroes.

Broke down and bought Rocket Racoon. I don't know why but it tickles my pickle playing him.

How you finding him? He's supposed to be one of the best range at end game.

Been playing him too.

Bit boring to play at the begining, but coming from Ms Marvel it's amazing to kill whole waves of mobs before they get to you, and the stun grenade is fun.

Heard it gets pretty interesting around lvl30 when you get Big Frakin' Gun and Groot though.

So are events similar to how Guild Wars 2 does them? And are they ever shown on the map or do you just have to get lucky and find them?

My in game name is Falstaff if anyone wants to add me. I am playing as Scarlet Witch. Only level 4 or 5 right now.

You aren't into the endgame yet. The group dailies have a death cap, Madripoor has a 12 death limit. I don't know about the others. As you progress towards level cap I imagine the restrictions on death with tighten to the point where there is no tolerance for it.

I went into PVP today. Two level 50+ just camping people. They aren't ready to PVP in this game at all.

PVP is a bit of a mess, it was just launched and I think they are just trying to make sure it works at this point, and will make it fun later. The first time I went to pvp there were was nothing but red team, no white or blues to hinder us from capping bases, it was both sad and boring.

I can't believe people were bitching about The Thing's dps, at level 21 I am hardly taking damage and I can clear out multiple mobs with a couple of swings of my standard attack. It's awesome not being a glass cannon (hawkeye) for a while. Hawkeye was not much of a glass cannon either, I would up tanking a few of the Castle Doom bosses (before screecher arrow) because the tank classes I was in there with completely ignored their defensive skills and could not take hits anywhere near as well as I could.

Moleman medallion on The Thing tickles my pickle, when I leap into the fray I am about guaranteed to proc a rather large mutated rock monster that is far more useful than Mr. Sinister's medallion clones. Screw vanity pets.

was doing my green dailies, got an artifact and a retcon device off Mandarin, after that turned in 10 shards for a card and got 100% rarity boost, didn't get single thing better than a green the whole time.

I'm liking the game. So far, it's managed to hold my attention more than D3 did.
