Gazillion's Marvel MMO - F2P, Play as existing Marvel characters only

[Segoris]

Domino is a great teamup for anyone (+crit at all times, +crit rating and dmg proc). She's pretty much all I use unless I'm on Squirrel Girl where I'll use Magik for +summon dmg.

edit: here's a link showing all the teamups and their passives/abilities http://forums.marvelheroes.com/discussion/82878/all-available-team-up-power-screenshots-late-she-hulk-kt-update/p1

Is Champions any good ?

For the time that it was release the champion controls were pretty good (far better than CoX) and the character customization was second only to CoX.  Coming from CoX the world was ... more cartoony?  I mean in the way the dialog plays out and the things the villains do, rather than the graphics (although they did go for a cartoony style of graphics).  The villain factions themselves were not as rich as CoX, but the places you fought were more interesting (but not random).  The way you could mix and match powers was better in CO.

It probably hasn't aged well, so, ... no, not good.  That said, it is F2P, so if you are looking to scratch the "roll my own" itch and you don't mind a large download all it costs is time and data usage.

[Furiously]

Only you have to pay to roll your own in champions online. Otherwise you are stuck playing a character type.

[Threash]

Yeah, it has one of the worst f2p systems out there. 

[Furiously]

Other than stash space which is necessary I think everything can be bought with shards in MH.

[Merusk]

Threash was referring to champions I think. 

Fortune cards and costumes also can't be bought in marvel heroes. They aren't necessary but the non-cash route is so arduous that you can't even be bothered with it. Still a great f2p system despite that.

 Though I confess as to seeing very little point to the fortune cards for myself. Even if you were chasing one of the card only costume drops you've got to be prepared to drop a lot of bucks to get them.

[Threash]

Ten cube shards for a fortune card doesn't seem terribly excessive when you can get 24 a day from the easy terminals.  And yeah I was talking about champions before.

[Merusk]

Wait, you can get cards for shards.. how the hell did I miss that.

[Raguel]

afaik it's only one type of card you can get (mark 1? whatever the notation) and you can get them from Clea.

[Threash]

Wait, you can get cards for shards.. how the hell did I miss that.

What were you doing with your cube shards?

[Merusk]

Ghost Boxes, which are nowhere near the same as the Fortune Cards.

The fortune card vendors only show me options to get them for G.

None show on my Clea at all. Only ghost boxes, prestige gourds and some recipies are available.

[Threash]

You must have bought them at some point, did you refresh her?

[Merusk]

Yep that was it. Here I was thinking they auto-refreshed on login. 

[dd0029]

Hulk is way more interesting to play than Thing, though he could use a much deeper melee cone. Think can melee multiple guys at once, Hulk often only gets one or maybe two.

[Threash]

I forgot how ridiculous the exp gets for this event, and there is one more increase tomorrow 

[Merusk]

55-60 in less than an hour and a half of Spidey last night and I wasn't hardcore chaining, either.  Was trying for enough splinters to get Iron Man and bust him to 50ish tonight but I'm still 50 short.

I thought there was a patch tomorrow since they did last Thursday.

[Threash]

They said it was likely to be friday morning.

[Furiously]

I used this incredible exp to get cable from 20 to 60 in 3 hours of play.  I might be ruined for leveling from now on.  I should do deadpool also, but.. I might just go farm cosmics for omega orbs instead.

[Ironwood]

Wait, what's this XP buff ?  Dammit, I must login !!

[Threash]

Started at 24% last Thursday and it goes up 24% each day, today is the last day.  Also affects rif/sif.

[Ironwood]

Ach, bollocks.  I'm out at some black tie shite tonight too.

ARG.

[Merusk]

Ach, bollocks.  I'm out at some black tie shite tonight too.

It comes around every 4-5 weeks.  Keep an eye out for the "Cosmic" event.

[Furiously]

Today it will be crazy. Just call in sick.

Omega, cosmic is the one with worldstones i think.

[Merusk]

Whoops you're right, my mistake.

[Yegolev]

I'm at level 15 and I mostly don't know what the fuck is going on in this game.

[Trippy]

At that level there's not much you need to know.

[dd0029]

I'm at level 15 and I mostly don't know what the fuck is going on in this game.

Make with the pew pew. Avoid Hawkeye and Punisher like the plague.

[Threash]

Just do the story until you finish it once, then do legendary quests.

[Ironwood]

At level 15 you should be finished the story. 

[Cadaverine]

I'm at level 15 and I mostly don't know what the fuck is going on in this game.

Make with the pew pew. Avoid Hawkeye and Punisher like the plague.

Avoiding Cyclops would be a solid idea as well.

You should force yourself to get Cyclops to 60 for the xp bonus' he provides.

[dd0029]

Cyclops isn't anywhere near the terrible of Hawkeye, much less the abyss of suck that is Punisher. Ricochet Blast can be tedious, but he can actually kill things with it. He also has other skills to be used occasionally, it's just that Ricochet Blast is nearly always a better choice.

[Merusk]

Yeah, cyc has a rotation.  "Roll into middle of group, tap 10% debuff, hold ricochet shot, repeat last step until dead."

[Threash]

Cyclops is next up for review, he should be pretty awesome fairly soon.
