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

[Trippy]

But that works through Sic 'Em? And I can't use that ability without a target?

[Fordel]

Squirrel Friend (in the MOAR SQUIRRELS! line, first skill) - It's the passive that makes your squirrels better. It's also an active that you can use to summon half a dozen squirrels, short CD. Just drag it to your bar.


Squirrel starts to look really weird as a word the more you type it.

[Trippy]

Okay cool I'll try that.

Edit: cool

[Lantyssa]

I have Squirrel Friend as my right-click power.  Use it as often as it's up and you'll be swimming in squirrels most of the time.

[Jimbo]

OMG! I so want this now...

Is Moon Knight, Thor, Captain America, and Hawkeye fun?

I still haven't finished Borderlands 2 and all the DLC crap, haven't finished Skyrim, haven't finished Fallout 3 or NV, and have PA too...and I'm trying to study for a certification. And Sony just dropped there games in my lap too, is DCU any fun? I've not followed allot there comics.

I need more time...

[ezrast]

I read a lot of complaints about Thor, and basically never see anyone play him. The others are all decent-to-good depending on whom you ask.

I'm a bit over Hawkeye since I figured out another melee build that's more effective but less fun, and his Precise Aim got nerfed. Been playing Taskmaster instead. He's clearly OP based on how everyone on his official forum keeps talking about how well-balanced he is. Very versatile and fun, to boot.

[Raguel]

I love Mk, but that my love may be gear dependent. Like I wrote somewhere else, he's the only character I've ever played where I want to have low health/spirit. If you go avatar of vengeance route, the passives gives boosts to crit rating as a function of health loss, and dmg rating as a function of spirit loss. I also have "Last Chance" a unique that gives a gazillion in crit rating and crit dmg if you are below 50% health. I've done a brutal hit for over 3 million. I've seen others claim 4.5 

[Typhon]

I'm a huge Thor fan, first char to 60, so weigh the following with that knowledge.  I enjoy playing him, but he is a bit fragile.  I play him as a hybrid of ranged and melee whereas I think many people expect to be able to play him straight-up melee. 

Capt America is fun.  Also need to play him as something of a hybrid, but, imo, that is consistent with the cartoon char (I'm talking form reading them in the mid 70s.  Possibly he has newer moves)

Hawkeye is boring, but I never read or liked Hawkeye.  Fun aside: virtually every male hero in the game gives Hawkeye shit for being useless.  A number of female heroes flirt with Hawkeye.

Deadpool: adding this one even though you didn't ask.  He is fun to play in either mode (ranged/melee).  He has the funniest lines in the game.  I never read Deadpool, so I wasn't a fan or anything (got him in random).

I also like Ms Marvel, Dr Strange and Nightcrawler (from a 'fun to play' perspective).

[Lantyssa]

Nightcrawler is really fun if you like a mobile character.  I bamf all over the friggin' place, and they made his smoke effects look awesome.

[Threash]

Taskmaster is incredibly fun to play, damn near OP in effectiveness and a bargain at 200 splinters.

[jgsugden]

A note on the 'strong/weak' issue: They rebalance constantly.  I would not focus too much on whether a hero is too strong or too weak, because they'll rebalance it before you know it.  Their general approach seems to try to bring the weaker heroes up to the level of the stronger heroes.  There are still some that are going to be stronger if you strategically know how to use them better, and some they do not yet realize are stronger than others, but if you like a hero and wish s/he was stronger - it probably will be eventually.

[Typhon]

In general I agree.  Also, as they adjust the toons typically become a lot more fun to play.  Rebalancing tends to be both to power and play-ability.  They really do a good job in that regard.

For me, Ironman is the problem child in that regard.  I want to play a repulsor-based Ironman (cause, you know, 70s comics), but that is kind of the weakest/least fun Ironman.  The one-off is very strong... but I found it very boring.

Hawkeye is a decent hero. His taunt arrow is pretty amazing and he does awesome damage. His main problem is he is a big squishy but if you want a glass cannon he does that very well.

[kaid]

He is an awesome buy at 200 splinters he pretty much has the best moves of three other champs all in one package.

[tazelbain]

Is taskmaster suppose to be a comedic character like SG and DP?

[Fordel]

Thor is awaiting his class review still, so he'll feel a bit underwhelming until then. As mentioned earlier though, they are very quick about actually getting class changes done.

[Threash]

He is a lot like Deadpool yeah, not quite as funny or crazy but he mostly makes fun of the other "heroes" and the fact that he is playing a good guy.

[Fordel]

You figure out which one of her toggle aura's is the giant area damage one then walk around and collect your loot.

[Trippy]

how do u storm

Purchase Magik to tank for you, then just use Crashing Hail, Lightning Storm, and Lightning Column. Thundering Bolt is good if you need to interrupt (stun) somebody.

I use something similar to this build:

Not quite 60 yet but it's been working for me.

Psylocke is pretty neat as long as you aren't expecting her stealth melee tree to be good or really make any sense. A lot of people on the Test Center complained about her secondary resource being limiting but I like the pacing it provides, where you're regularly switching between spending one resource while building the other.

[Furiously]

XMEN141 and 2015 are codes for the weekend. Enjoy!

I am not sure I would use her stealth tree on its own but having some moves in with the other powers seems pretty effective. She does wind up stealthing from time to time anyway due to her long steal being tied to her CC break so most are at very least going to have that on their bar so may as well throw in one of the huge damage from stealth moves. I also like the flying lotus drop becaues it looks cool as hell and is a nice aoe. So far the psi resource seems fine balance wise although it looks like they did revamp the construct line a bit before I think the only basic attack from it was psi dagger and now you can take psi crossbow as a basic attack/builder as well.

Get some doc Ock arms, a doc Ock medallion, a peluvian and just giggle.

Flying lotus is one of her best moves, i'm maxing that + psi assault + psi strike + all the passives.

Someone here needs to find out what their one year celebration will entail.

Bunch of new heroes probably.

I just started and maxing gusting tempest, lightning column, lightning storm, spirited and crashing hail are making me a pretty happy camper for now.  Only a few buttons to manage and you AoE everything.

I love that his voice actor is Steve Blum (of Cowboy Bebop dub fame).

[Merusk]

This game has somehow gotten more fun since the last time I tried it.  No idea what changed but I'm having a great time as Dr. Strange.

[Threash]

Psylocke feels like a much lamer nightcrawler.

[Trippy]

With purple butterflies.

[Tannhauser]

There is definitely some fun here.  I wish I had more than the Torch to play but I don't feel like putting out cash.  Been collecting eternity shards though.  The game isn't very sticky for me though.

I suspect the problem is that you're playing Torch.  I couldn't get in to him either, so I dropped enough cash to buy the hero I wanted - Strange - and bam lots of fun. Considering it's f2p and $5 is about what I pay for Steam games these days it's worth it, IMO.
