I tried a few times to find someone wanting to trade for my level 1 Radioactive core with +1 INT on it. I'd kept it from back at launch, figured someone hardcore enough to do cosmic prestige might want it, but no offers so far. Too bad it's not an X-Gene core, sure I'd probably have more luck, especially with Psy/Mags/Rogue(maybe) coming this year.

Damn, I was only able to save up 460 eternity splinters, guess it'll be a couple days before I have a team-up

I'm gonna try to set up some split cosmic farming runs tonight to take advantage of the higher chance for rings to drop. Basically full group of 5, each person clears the bounty of their own cosmic, rest of group joins them for boss and everyone gets the chests, makes farming cosmic rings way faster. Obviously you'll need a character capable of clearing cosmic bounties.

Preferences are MODOK, Doom, Sinister, Kurse and Doc Oc but we can do whatever. The only boss in that list that will provide a challenge is Kurse since that shit is so overtuned. I can face tank every single other cosmic boss fight with my Ms. Marvel.

In game name is Ritley, will be on sometime after 5 EST

So, if I use Splinter to get the Spiderman teamup...can all of my characters use him or do I have to buy one for each character?

The melee team-ups are pretty crappy right now. I'd save up and get Firestar or Falcon.

Well if you're just gonna leave em on passive pick whoever has the best passives. Magik's damage passives suck if you're ranged though because the AE drops on top of your character and the goddamn pets don't avoid collision detection. They can easily trap you.

Depends on the character. For my high-level Thing, I just want 'em for boss fights, so I have the 30 second buffed up version for Tier 1 and the passives for the other tiers. Leveling up my Iron Man, I want more of the cannon fodder dead, so I keep 'em out to help me kill more stuff faster.

And Firestar is way better in both those situations. She does more damage, has better abilities and stays alive longer because she's ranged. Though none of em stay alive that great. The team ups pretty much suck. This game is really fun because you can always play a new hero, there are so many of them. Itemization and overall character power in this game blow though. And then they add stupid shit like "mortal strike" to bosses in cosmics. As if cosmics weren't too much of a hassle for the shit rewards you get anyway.

It wasn't worth waiting to save another 175 splinters for me. I'm much more about instant gratification in this game than anything else I've ever played. I think it's because I keep expecting to grow tired of it, so I just want to get as much out of it while I'm still playing.

Haha, Ok, I'll concede the issue with Magick and her demon herd being kind of hilariously problematic when you are a melee. A quick charge or leap fixes it well enough though, and the option for the uber-demon is there.

It is worth pointing out though, if you are primarily a melee-player, you may prefer a ranged companion but a primarily ranged player may prefer a melee.

Yeah I got the pre-sale pack for the team ups, but I'm pretty disappointed with em as they are currently. Pretty much all I do is cosmics, so with the long ass cooldown and how fast they die, passive mode is really only thing they are good for, which is pretty lame for something called a team up. I don't know why they aren't just immortal when set to the 30 second summon mode, it's not like they are gonna solo a cosmic boss for you or anything.

I'm hoping they do some major tuning on them, but seems most of their manpower is always working on new stuff, and the few folks doing balancing on older content/heroes are pretty behind. If you notice, except for the reworks there is basically zero tuning on released heroes outside of major bugs, even though many powers could use their numbers tweaked.
