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

[Threash]

 

Actually wasn't so bad, took a total of slightly under five hours of boost time over three days.

[Ironwood]

Nice.

Hulk finally 'clicked' for me once he got his meteor and I fiddled some buttons around.

Finally having fun with him....

[Merusk]

 

SMASH

Also, I tried the popular 'endgame' build today on Hulk.  I found the DJ build was far more fun and less fiddly.

[Fordel]

Took the Racoon to 60... when did the turrets turn to absolute shit? I don't remember them being so shitty, used to farm the Holo-sim pretty easy with them.

Space Guns worked fine though, just threw a wall of Groot in front while I shot everything from safety.

[Zetor]

Only turret I drop nowadays is the one that debuffs enemy speed [timewarp?]. Rest are not worth the effort. Unfortunately RR's pewpew skills leave something to be desired... maybe I've just been spoiled by playing Cyclops.

[eldaec]

I found timewarp mostly useless because I don't die thanks to groot and the laser drill.

Timewarp means I don't die by a bigger margin.

Still have him turret focussed out of sheer bloody mindedness, but increasingly tempted to switch.

Kind of feel RR is designed to be using a mix of turrets and guns, but that doesn't work because of the level 42 mutally exclusive skills, and the fact that you need completely different gear affixes for each.

[Threash]

Poor rocket is just not in a very good place atm.

[Fordel]

I ignored turrets utterly, just used a pair of Groots and the Groot insignia to spawn baby Groots.

Then it went like:

Use gravity mine to collect mobs, drop GTAE on mobs, toss stun grenade onto the clumped mobs, finish everything else off with the cone AE channel. On bosses it was the same thing except I used the little mini-gun instead of the cone channel. Replace either the Channel or the Minigun with the two pistol basic if low on spirit. Maybe it isn't TTK awesome, but it all got the job done effortlessly.

[Threash]

PSA: you may have noticed cosmic worldstones are still dropping, i am also fairly sure the cosmic double loot is still on.

[Trippy]

And Odin's Bounty is running:

[Nonentity]

Odin's Bounty + Midtown Madness was ABSURD when the times overlapped. I popped bonus consumables and got two more characters to 60.

On Cosmic, you're getting two boxes per kill. It was basically Speed Inventory Management 2015.

[Trippy]

Yeah. I really wish Midtown Madness was permanent like it effectively is for ICP*. I really really hate ICP and dread having to do the shared quests there.

* Yes I know the MM chests are slightly better than the ICP event boxes are but they could equalize them

[Fordel]

Why do you hate ICP?



I got cable to uhh 50ish? Boring as shit! 

[Trippy]

The main issue for me is the map is horribly designed. Among the many issues:

* The map is so long that you can't see boss/encounter icons at times.
* The icons are constantly fucked up, showing things on the map that no longer exist/apply.
* The vertical length means it's a crapshoot whether or not you can reach many of the encounters in time, and they seemed to have lowered the HPs of boss mobs so even if you happen to be on the correct side you may not be able to get to them in time
* Moving through buildings is a fucking pain in the ass and because of the way the walls will disappear when you get close to them making the entrance non-obvious.
* The verticality on the map is a fucking pain, even for heroes that can fly
* There are like a bazillion objects on the "northern" half to get stuck on while moving.

The other big problem is the mob density is not nearly high enough. MM even before the mob density increase had a much higher mob density *and* the shared quest kill count is lower than ICP.

[Fordel]

I can't say I mind either of those things, to each their own.


I wander around at my pace and if i run into a event, all the better.

[Lantyssa]

I've only ever done that map with Nightcrawler.  I can't imagine doing it with anyone else and not getting frustrated.

[Threash]

Yeah icp = teleporter only. My three favorites are surfer Psylocke and SWitch so I'm good. Hell, all my melee dudes get a zig by default also.

[Merusk]

The addition of 'leap' 'hover' or 'fly' travel powers to a lot of the melee heroes helps them a lot.  Venom can webswing over annoying obstacles, Hulk leaps over them and Rogue flies.

Pure ground travel on Ghost Rider, Punisher and Black Widow (motorcycles/ rolls) are utter bullshit, though, I agree.

[Mattemeo]

I run ICPatrol on all my heroes and so long as you don't expect to make it to every event/hotpoint, it's not so bad. Any ground-based hero without a free travel power is double bullshit, though. At least my Squrrel Girl has 666 Spirit. Luke Cage, on the other hand, is out of breath before he's halfway across one half of the zone. Practically best off standing in a high spawn rate area and just Cage Was Here the levels/omegas away.

[Nevermore]

Permanent Retcons incoming.

[Trippy]

Finally I can spend all my points now

[tazelbain]

Is it me or is that thread full questions that were answered in the OP?

[Ironwood]

Is it me or is that thread full questions that were answered in the OP?

Yes.  Mostly, I suspect, because people are fucking morons.

It really lowers my moral.

[Cadaverine]

It really lowers my moral.

 

[Mattemeo]

Hah, I was about to post 'yay, I get to free up two S.T.A.S.H. spaces'... oh well 

[Fordel]

They add answers to the first post as they write them.

[Threash]

Now to decide whether i want to do that stupid retcon quest three times on almost every char before they remove them.

[Nevermore]

Because beating Bullseye in storymode is super hard to do. 

[Ironwood]

Hah, I was about to post 'yay, I get to free up two S.T.A.S.H. spaces'... oh well 

I take it you mean two squares, rather than two compartments, yeah ?  Because otherwise, 

[Trippy]

Somebody has 3 rows of them:

Wtf. How?  I thought I had a ridiculous amount at 70.

[Fordel]

Some people are fucking CRAZY is why.

[Threash]

47x3 times minus the dozen or so i actually did is a bit of a chore, yes :P

[Nevermore]

That's what you get for skipping story mode! 

[Mattemeo]

Hah, I was about to post 'yay, I get to free up two S.T.A.S.H. spaces'... oh well

Yeah, just two squares, heh. It's sad that I'm not even joking about two squares being freed, S.T.A.S.H. space is a nightmare if you're on a budget, and I already feel like I've spent too much on them.
I still have about 150 or so of the retcons  so maybe I'll be able to buy something nice? /hahahno
