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

[Triforcer]

Why are there no Marvel Zombies costumes?  I'd start playing again for those. 

[Merusk]

Hawkeye has that cool vanish trick you should at least have one point in tho.

Yeah but I don't have enough buttons for that and I'm too casual to do the whole "Mod your ini file to enable the 2nd toolbar via button combos."  My attitude is generally; fix your fucking UI or enable mods to fix it for you.

[Ironwood]

I had the same view, but binding 3 keys to Q, E and R come in really, really handy.

My Hawkeye pops invis on Q and the healing arrow on E.  Every single one of my heroes who HAS fast travel have the R key bound to it.

On that note, heroes who don't have fast travel are a fucking travesty.

[Threash]

At this point I'm more annoyed by heroes without a free travel power.  Getting to the fight without any spirit blows.

[Ironwood]

Or you could be Gambit and you get to the fight too late AND totally out of Spirit.

This is my ONLY problem with playing Luke Cage. His dash is such a spirit hog. That is also casually murders trash mobs as I bound past is, again, another loop in his belt buckle.

[Ironwood]

Given another random hero box.  Is this because I bought a chap recently and got a retroactive BOGOF or what ?

Yes.  I think its like one week retroactive.

[Trippy]

Yes it's one week.

Punisher and Wolverine have undead costumes, they are available during Halloween.

A zigg does wonders for LC imo. Even with top gear I still prefer to use that over one of the god-like artifacts because he needs the help in mobility.

Finally, question about bad artifacts, is there anything at all I can do with them, or do they go to vendor trash?

There are two types of bad artifacts. Worthless one regardless of their rolls (ex: Advanced Reactive Repulsor), and poorly rolled but top tier artifacts (think low rolled gok, swgn, etc). The former is great for leveling vendors and just selling for credits as they are normally worth around 750-1k credits. The latter you can re-roll their affixes on your crafter (misc tab - reset artifacts variables). It costs some credits, unstable molecule, and other minor things but it's much better than farming or trading for a higher roll.

Can no longer get past "Checking for updates"

Edit: It's working better for me today. Only took about 30 minutes to get past that tonight. Yesterday I left it running for a few hours and never got past that point.

[eldaec]

Omega starting today.

Yeah, they fucked something up bigtime with the last patcher update. Mine allocates space for 10-15 minutes before actually downloading patch content. On a 70% empty SSD that's crazytown.  It also asks me to send a crash report every time the actual game launches and the patcher closes.

Omega starting today.

Awesome.

Finally "nerved" myself up to taking my Scarlet Witch into a Cosmic MM because she's durable as fuck and her sig clears out the crap ton of trash that inevitably spawns. It's fun, but even she can get splattered in nothing flat. I just flat out won't bother with Mole Man. That shotgun thing of his is a killer. Man-Ape is more fun. His telegraphs are tight but not so tight it feels like bullshit when he oneshots me. You couldn't pay me to play a melee hero in there though.

[Threash]

Cosmic mm is very uneven.  You get a doombot or sinister wave and you can hardly tell the difference between regular mm, but you get freaking magneto and it becomes and insta death blender and bind rush city.

[Fordel]

Not related to anything, but I almost forgot how fast Psylocke can rush down a terminal straight to the boss.

Almost. 

[Merusk]

What makes her any speedier than, say, Cable or Nightcrawler with their teleport?


Also: Thor is much more fun now that I have Asgardian Smash.  She devastates shit and I feel like a Thunder God now.  YAAA.

Cable and Nightcrawler have way better teleports, Psylocke has way better damage.  Uber geared the first two probably come out ahead, right out of the box Psy is faster and more fun.

[Merusk]

Ah, OK. I didn't know about a range difference, but I think I can go across the full screen with Cable/ NC. I must be playing at a lower resolution.

[Threash]

Cable and NC can go across the full screen, Psylocke can't make it across the gap at the end of the hood instance for example, she has to walk around like some sort of peasant.

[Fordel]

Yea, it's the combination of a teleport with the ability to casually crit for over a million in half ass gear. 

I wanted to farm a few shards from green terminals real quick and I think I spent more time loading then actually killing.

[Threash]

I'm kinda irked that wanda isn't getting the avenger bonus.

[Merusk]

Yeah, what's up with that. I don't think vision gets it either, though.

By some combination of consumables I had an 850%XP bonus this morning. Took Widow, Cap, Thor, Iron Man and Hawkeye to cap in the span of about 4 hours. Kinda awesome. (They were all 30+ already, with several at 50)  I'd do Hulk but I'm burnt out now and don't own him anyway.

First time playing BW since her revamp, I found a very nice ranged leveling build.

That guy's done leveling builds for a lot of characters. If they're even half as good as Widows was he's awesome. Decent kill times, no spirit issues and a smooth progression from 30 to cap. Very nice.

[Threash]

Well the avengers boost is supposed to be all month, and omega xp is going to keep scaling up until thursday.  Hulk should be a breeze in a couple days.  I am fairly certain Vision is getting the xp bonus, i guess giving it to Wanda was deemed spoilery by Marvel.

[Merusk]

Speaking of Omega. Anyone know why Coulson isn't out giving the daily Omega quest?

[eldaec]

It is broken.

I understand thats why you get given more files than usual at login.

Some people also swear that the server xp boost is not happening, I have no idea.

Note: due to Coulson not spawning in this build for the Holo-Sim Mission, we will be granting 30 Files a day starting tomorrow. We will be running the event until next Friday at 11:59PM PDT to give everybody a chance to get their Omega Files (instead of ending it next Thursday).

[Ironwood]

Widow didn't seem to have the Avengers boost last night for me.  Has it finished or is something else going on ?

[Mattemeo]

So I started putting points into Omega nodes for Scarlet Witch last night. Had enough to get 4 ranks of Legion. Holy shit. I'd say she was powerful, definitely top 3 ranged hero right now. But activate her sig when you've specced into Legion, she's just utterly insane. I totally understand they've got to look at how her sig works with that Omega node. It's fucking clown-shoes overpowered.

[Threash]

At ten it's insane.

[Ironwood]

Just tried it.  Goodness.

Tell me, I'm a little fuzzy on the mechanics there.  How exactly is that working

[Threash]

It's...convoluted.  Which is why they haven't been able to fix it yet.  At worst you always get +10 to all stats, what else you get depends on how many other proc effects you have and what priority they take over legion stuff.  If you get over 33% power duration (very easy with a doom medallion and something else) you can keep the legion buffs up 100% of the time as long as you are using the sig on cooldown.  Procs that are on cooldown won't fire off and take away from your legion stuff either, the pre req for the warpath omega does, so do hela blessings, and the proc on your slot 1 gloves.  It costs a ton more omegas but if you get legion from the bottom rather than the top you can cut down the pre req procs from 2 to 1, but i'm not quite sure its worth it unless you are maxed already.

Even with that, ttk videos below 30 seconds are conspicuous by their absence.  Lowest I've seen is 39", which seems to be around about par for newly reviewed heroes.
