What happened to allowing ultimate upgrade tokens to be used at level 1? Having them taking up inventory space for unleveled heroes sucks
Using Ultimate Upgrade tokens at level 1 is something we definitely want to do.
The backend tech is a bit complicated since a hero's Ultimate Power was coded slightly different from regular powers, so modifying it before you unlock it is currently not supported.
However, I am going to reopen the discussion right now (sending an email) and see if the new tech we have added over the months makes this easier.
The most important question in the world! Will Punchclops still be able to punch after the Cyclops review? And do the devs still read the comic?
Punchclops will indeed be able to punch after this review. His review keeps his Martial Arts tree (and makes it slightly better / more fun), but greatly expands his Leadership tree to make it A+ cool. His review also includes some amazing new VFX that are in development. I expect it will take another 12 weeks or so in the pipeline, but perhaps faster. Yes, the devs definitely read comics and are more excited than ever about tying in with Marvel editorial department.
Has there been any discussion for enhanced costumes to have alternate animations for attacks? (e.g. Superior Spiderman using his extra arms, etc)
I believe some of them do, but it is something we would like to do more of in the future. It's a great suggestion.
so it's kind of hot-button topic but will team-ups get increased functionalities or improvements in the future? They're not that tanky (even when geared for it), people mainly use them as passives and rarely see all the VO/model work, their AI needs improving etc
We like where Team-Ups are now, but I have heard this feedback from a few people. I agree that it would be nice to see and hear them more. I like the way that BRB comes down and casts lightning. It would be fun he said more. I could see us doing more of that in the future. As for the Tank-status, that wasn't really the intent. You are the hero in this game and it's nice to have someone help out, but the focus should be on you.
With X-23 on the way, will the next/younger generation of New X-men (Surge, Dust, Pixie), Runaways or Young Avengers be on the way next?
They are on the long-term list of heroes and Team-Ups options. Noriko's powers would look cool in game and we could do a lot of fancy lightning animations.
Has there been any talk about adding in a shortcut key or faster way to craft?
Having to individually craft over 50 Fully Loaded Hotdogs was not much fun.
Did you do that all at once? O.o Yes -- a revamp to the crafting UI is in the works. There are some easy QoL fixes that could help a bunch. We will also be making some overall improvements to the system.
The schedule for heroes being released for the rest of the year looks pretty much set with Rogue, Nova, Magneto, Juggernaut and most likely Venom to round out the year. Where does X-23 fit in this year, if at all?
Who said we do one character a month? We did two this month ;)
She hasn't updated her LinkedIn yet, but it looks like Marvel Heroes is the only game she's worked on.
Wherever she's going, I can't blame her for wanting to move on to newer and potentially bigger things after 3 years.
Wondering when we might get the Earth X Thor costume, also when is Thor's 52 review scheduled to hit?
Earth X Thor is still going through development, although it already looks very sweet. Thor's 52 review is scheduled for after Jean and Cyclops. It has already started in the early stages. The entire process of a level 52 review is almost as long as a new hero (since every team in the studio is involved) but it's humming along.
Any words about Venom? He will be in christmas? any spil from his trees? :3 HE is my favorite character <3 PLEASE
Venom is probably going to be ready for Christmas and he will be glorious.
This might be a simple user error on my part but it seems there is currently no way to clear a F1-F6 hotkey assignments once it has been assigned other then using a Retcon device. This seems like a big oversight being forced to use an item that cost a good amount of splinters or Gs to clear a keybind that should be an option to begin with. I accidently assigned one and thought I could just hit F1 again to clear it out but soon learned the only way is to Retcon the character which I found odd so now I am stuck with that power as I rather not use a Retcon for something that seems like a bug.
I reported this a bug recently. I'm not sure where it is on the fix list, but it is a known issue that we are going to try and resolve. It may even be fixed in the patch today. Thanks!
In light of #JanetVanCrime, will you consider the number of people who might want to play Wasp in your game?
I like your name. :) Wasp has always been on the short list of heroes to get into Marvel Heroes.
In fact, we love her so much we got a brand new character model for her (which looks amazing) and are working on the script for her team-up and eventually playable version. Short answer: She's at the top of the list and will stay at the top of the list!
"Local recording"
you're welcome.
also, ya that areas been in game for a while. It's where the secret X-games are held. ;)
so I hear...I've never been invited!
This is something that I have really wanted to ask for a while now, but haven't had the chance, so I'll ask now.
1. Will Iron Fist ever be playable? He's a great character, and arguably stronger than Luke Cage. I would love to smash some baddies with Danny's Chi.
2. Will White Tiger Ava Ayala or Any other version of White Tiger ever be available as a team up or playable character? I think both could be excellent additions to the roster, and I would definitely pick them up. Thanks for taking the time to answer this if you choose to. If not, thanks for the opportunity to ask!
1. We have a huge number of Iron Fist fans in the office and at Marvel. He is on the short list for new heroes and we have some cool ideas for his mechanics. I am 100% sure he would be in either the next Advance Pack or the one afterwards.
2. I could see a version of White Tiger as a team-up in the future, but we have a list of Team-Ups we want to release beforehand. The amount of Team-Up Heroes is extremely deep and very exciting.
What are the chances that our original Marvel ladies will get to visit the salon? As it stands now, many of these Marvel men are out "doing" our heroines. Also the GotG release has really gotten me excited about the expanded universe you guys are really tapping into. Who is a hero or villain you personally see alot of potential in for the game. Lastly, Magneto. Will he get his brotherhood? Perhaps even his remaining children (Quicksilver + Polaris)?
We have been going back and doing touch ups for any hero models that aren't working as well as the newer stuff. We will keep doing that. Quicksilver is planned as a Team-Up for the Age of Ultron movie (or earlier). Having speedster's as playable is easy enough to do, but most people's connections would be able to handle someone traveling insanely fast through any game, so it may come off as 'too slow" as a playable hero. Polaris is something we will do eventually, as a Team-Up and/or Hero. Everyone agrees she is awesome.
For sure! This is the one I use:
https://ifttt.com/recipes/183168-if-new-giveaway-for-marvel-heroes-then-send-email
Create an account > link your reddit and email. It's completely safe and I have been using it for a year now.
Whenever I need to time something, I fire up the trusty LiveSplit.
Designed as a way for speed runners to time there clears, it makes for a good stop watch with hotkey commands, for pretty much everything.
Cheers guys for doing this. You know i'm a big pvp, raid guy and I think raids are good. Thanks for that. I'm also a pvper, I play alot of Dota and Arena in WoW. I believe I suggested one time a mid town free for all map, it was slightly hinted, which I thought was cool. What I generally notice in arpg pvp is the reward factor. It is mainly a pve game, and it directly influences pvp. So many people, will generally be pveing to get better and won't pvp because it's meant for the high end pvers. I'm just translating what's currently going on with quene times. What can we do to improve the popularity of pvp, in an arpg where pve is the focus?
We agree that the rewards for PvP need to be looked at. PvP has been improving steadily over the last few months and we have some pretty big improvements coming with ladder tech and better grouping. Having other PvP modes (like a FFA midtown) would help a lot as well. Making PvP part of an ARPG is a challenge, but we believe we can give good reasons for people to play it. They have been able to accomplish it in other MMOs (like WoW) and it comes down to rewards and notoriety.
It there anything in the Works in regards to alternative ways to get ult power tokens? Seeing how the Signature powers for all level 52 reviewed/made heroes get +1% for each rank of ult power, having a low ult on these characters provides a power gap of up to 19% on their signature power. Having the only reliable (Ghost box gambling doesn't count) way to get Ult tokens on Eternity Splinters effectively time gates players who want max ults.
We have been considering a few different ideas, but nothing solid yet. We agree that there should be other ways to acquire it. We've talked about them dropping as well as other ideas. We will let everyone know if and when we do add any way. Right now, it is one of the big things to work towards.
I hate asking what heroes will be in the game in the future but everything I think of has been answered already so the only thing I want to know that hasn't been answered is Songbird and Magma ever playable?
Both definitely have some interesting stories and could have a full hero of powersets.
Neither is on the short list of heroes, but both of them are definitely something we would consider in the upcoming months and years of the game.
Edit: I see I get downvotes for "teaching a man to fish" instead of giving him a fish. If you're that pathetic, post the time for the person above me. Oh, that's right... you can't because there are several EU time zones to choose from and this person didn't specify which one.
Is there any way with the tech you have that you could create a system for Party Legendary Quests? Such as possibly, while in a party Player One finishes a Legendary quest, then when Player Two gets done with their Legendary quest, they sync up and both receive the same one. Or maybe even, each player having an individual Legendary Quest, but also gaining a Party Quest.
We went round and round with the idea of sharing Legendary Quests with a party. It is something we really liked on the surface. In the end, there were way too many min/max play-patterns that could lead or force people into bad game experiences that we didn't want our players to get dragged into. We have the shared daily quests and we are working on variety for those and a bit of UI change.
Will you be adding in a way to unbind team-up items in the near future?
I don't know how long it will be, but it is something we hear requested a lot. I would guess we would do it in the future. With more team-ups we want to encourage people to try out new ones.
would have been nice for Taskmaster, but not as needed as Rogue I dont think. Task Master was more of a joke release.
And the link is somewhere in this AMA with Doomsaw from a week ago: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/post/6338999#6338999
Oh they are a joke but, only in the way most company game forums are a joke.
Every so often I come across threads there about deleted threads, someone who disagreed with Gazillion or said something bad about something they did. They're shocked and surprised that they don't have some first amendment protected right to free speech (does not apply of course).
I myself received a level 2 warning for posting this picture together with some criticism: http://tinypic.com/r/10ne4h1/8 I thought it nicely summarised my viewpoint on what they were doing.
Of course, this just means that I post it whenever remotely tangibly appropriate everywhere else.

The total time played by all players is an interesting figure, as it speaks to the mythical 'player count' that everyone here loves to argue about.
Super ballpark numbers here, since many certainly play more and many certainly play less--this is totally random speculation, before you grab that pitchfork.
If you assume 2 hours per day per player, and the full 366 days in 2016, that works out to around 30k players who are at least logged in (probably includes spam accounts, since the figure is curiously specific with the phrase 'time spent in-game'). Which is not terrible. If 2 hours/day is a low estimate, then the population numbers look worse, but being more generous and assuming only 1 hour/day puts the number at ~60k. Maybe not Blizzard numbers, but pretty good.
However. F2P games live and die by conversion. Sixty thousand active players is great, but how many of them spend money? How much do they spend? How often do they spend it? Conversion rates are hard to pin down, as lots of companies don't publicly admit figures, but as an example Gaben once spoke about a 20-30% conversion for Team Fortress 2, which has ~50k active users at a given moment. Even a crazy 50% conversion rate doesn't look like it would generate revenue fast enough to support the game, let alone the entire company.
In any case, this is again just speculation on my part since we have no confirmed figure other than this one, and you have to make a ton of assumptions to get anywhere with it. But it does leave me wanting to maybe give Gazillion a break and buy a costume or two so /u/Asros gets to eat lunch next week.
edit: corrected some inaccurate phrasing
Here is Doomsaw's list of some future villains, as per an AMA: "New enemies that are basically complete but don’t have their zones complete yet include: Lizard, Mr. Hyde, Malekith, Blizzard, Loki, and several “henchmen” type guys that have yet to be added."
You mean this game? https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/
That's getting a new class? That has continous seasons and support? That now has seasons on consoles? That's actually getting frequently updated every other week with new features?
If you want, you can milk it for splinters.
>Find splinters
>Port to town, wait 8 minutes (boosts don't count down in town), port back
>Kill things til you get more splinters, port to town and wait again
Most of my drops were 2-4 splinters.. some were 5. Just a few minutes ago, I struck paydirt with one (with 9 minutes left on my galactic boost): https://hostr.co/file/NG2djswM1Wjq/splinters.jpg
It is not a keylogger maybe u should update your bit defender it has elements of scripting so it will throw up false positives on some programs heres the scan results

Loot is generated from the table when you open the chest. If you have boosts on at the time of opening then yes.
http://www.howtogeek.com/175580/5-common-pc-game-graphics-options-explained
I use this:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/marvelheroesadvancedsettings/
The program edits your INI file to crank down the graphics settings to make the game run better on lesser Pcs. I have 3gb of ram, and I can only play for about 15 minutes, then RAM gets filled up and the game crashes. When I enable "My computer is a potato" mode with this program, I can play for a couple hours without a crash.
FPS-wise, you might see an improvement with this program
Can't say I have ever heard of any talk of a console release. Maybe that is partially a reason they "relaunched" the game. But I wouldn't put my hopes on it, if it hasn't been discussed by this point I feel.
Well did find this Q & A at MMORPG.com: "MMORPG: Any hope for that long-wanted console version?
RA: If the relaunch does well we might consider it, but there are no current plans for that."
There are literally benchmarks to prove what I am saying. I didn't say AMD is unusable or anything to that nature, but CPU and GPU at each "level" usually favor Intel/Nvidia. To compare Intel 3-4 years ago against AMD is old news in the pc/gaming world. In the last 4 years Intel has launched the i series, which AMD can't compare with. Here are benchmarks that prove this:
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/common_cpus.html
Top 9 are Intel. 10th is AMD.
This is less so with Nvidia vs AMD, but it is still there:
Actually, you can do it with just two spaces.
Like so.
Reddit uses markdown, although I don't know the specifics of how the backend translates everything. Many of the cheats in this cheatsheet are still applicable, though.
I've spent $232 of real money, and about $255 from Bing Rewards credits spent at GameStop for Steam Wallet and Marvel Heroes G cards.
My wife has probably spent about half of my real money total, and close to the same GameStop total.
I'm at 512 hours played, so that works out to $0.45/hr of real money. Seems like a lot now that I do the math, but it's been worth it. My wife and I have both had tons of fun with this game, and we plan to play it for a long time.
Sure, why not.

Unzip. Open Achievements.html. Search box is at the top. Checkbox on the bottom right of each achievement, toggles it completed/not completed.
There are typos/missing info though, mostly achievements that have a laundry list of subqualifications that were parsed incorrectly. But for personal use I didn't care about polish. If you like it thank @Mjoll though. Parsed a section of the marvel heroes compendium for all the achievements. Then injected the raw csv file into a html template and used some common javascript libraries for the functionality.
And this sort of response is why alot of folks can't take alot of this community seriously and why it looks so bad to outsiders.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/currency
Currency is just a medium of exchange. Reality is that money is still just the barter system. But to make things easier we agreed on a single thing to represent value, that item becomes currency. Whether you are trading chickens, favors, dollars, bullets (Metro games!), or Nuka Cola caps they are all currency if it is an agreed upon official medium of exchange.
That's exactly what all those things listed in the other thread are, except Challenge tokes. That was a mistake on my part as those are in reality crafting ingredients :D. Now if you want to argue the definition I'd advise seeking out every encyclopedia, dictionary, and country. Because I don't define it, I just got by what has already been defined. Arguing me here literally means nothing when I'm not the one setting the status quo.
Didn't use it for some time but this mod helped incredibly:
https://sourceforge.net/p/marvelheroesadvancedsettings/wiki/Home/
It also removes the need to switch manually.
To /u/Mystyxal: Check the build list for one where the creator actually describes the rotation. There are duplicate builds on marvelinfo, some with description some without.
If that fails, keep in mind that usually you start your combos with debilitating skills, then heavy hitters (with your signature if its off cooldown) then spamming spenders until you need a skill to fill up your mana.
Most heroes usually have this scheme in common. (f.e.: start with skill which makes enemy vulnerable followed by skill which weakens them, pop your sig, use heavy hitter, spam spender.)
My advice is to read every skill description to understand how they synergize.
Okay so these are the steps I have taken so far: did the 3 things on the second post on this thread http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/506321/i-accidentally-installed-some-adware/ . Then I downloaded MalwareBytes and scanned and it deleted some stuff. After that I used the ESET online scanner and let it scanned my entire system (took like 15 hours lol) and it also found and quarantined some stuff. After that I rebooted in safe mode in minimal and scanned with MalwareBytes again, it didn't find anything. I then downloaded Spybot and updated it before rebooting in safe mode in minimal and scanned. It found a bunch of those usual cookies and stuff, but I deleted them anyways. Started the game and it looks like it still shows those weird ads just like the screenshot. Logged in to the test client as well and it also showed that too. Right now I uninstalled Marvel Heroes and reinstalling it, to see whether this make any difference (you never know heh). Both Internet Explorer or Firefox doesn't show any abnormal ads like the screenshot that I posted, so not sure if this is local to this kind of display. I don't have any other games that uses this type of in-game store browser installed, so I can't check whether or not it's affecting that area in general.
None whatsoever, not really. Mac is an acceptable gaming platform if you have a relatively speaking casual interest in games, mostly play cross-platform indie games, and prefer it as a platform for other reasons. It does have the best emulation platform on any system right now in the form of OpenEmu but other than that it's not a better gaming platform than Windows.
Most people I know though aren't only interested in games. They have lives and hobbies and care about other things. Macs have some best-in-class tools for doing all sorts of things that aren't playing video games. For me, being able to play games is a bonus and not the primary draw of a computer. My favorite genres are also mostly localized to consoles and handhelds -- yes hello kart racers, party games, fighters and JRPGs -- so I scratch my gaming itch elsewhere.
Marvel Heroes works fine on Mac, and for people who already have and use a Mac, because it works better for them for what they need to do, the "use windows" advice is uninformed, insulting, pointless, and juvenile.
Any hints to the next Storm costume? Will she follow in line with the recent AoA costume releases? Also any news on the Wiccan enhanced costume for SW?
Storm's next costume is not settled yet, but there are a few options. I would be interested in hearing you opinion in the Storm forums. She has a good amount already, so we want the next one to be really great. Wiccan is still planned for Scarlet Witch. We are talking with licensing about exactly what we need to do in terms of changing flavor and such. That's usually the toughest negotiation for enhanced costumes that are a different person than the original hero.
I don't get the downvote pattern in this sub... It's like there are a couple people that downvote every comment in every thread.
Anyway, back on topic. I've looked into Empyrion and it looks pretty great. I've dabbled a bit with Star-Made which is a game that is basically in the same vein. Star-Made is kinda clunky and obtuse though and nowhere near as polished.

Here's my Pandora stations.
http://www.pandora.com/profile/stations/rionnogard
Little bit of everything there. Some of them aren't "done cooking" and some of them are nearly the same as others on the list. I I like to "build" stations with a genre in mind but my tastes aren't limited by genres, so I've recently been listen to the "Full Shuffle". It can be quite the rollercoasteresque experience sometimes lol.
Here's the thing though, Music is subjective. Aint nobody can tell you what you will or won't like. And just cause someone else likes it don't mean you will. So I'd recommend fine tuning those stations to fit your personal tastes, or making your own stations based on what you like, that's really what Pandora is all about after all.
It is a notification platform with app for mobile devices, browser, etc. https://www.pushbullet.com/
You can mirror you android notifications, receive notifications from websites, rss, applications. You can send sms from the app, it is very useful and constantly evolving.
My way of updating: 1. take screenshot with power tooltip 2. cut only tooltip in paint - save as new image 3. go to http://www.onlineocr.net/ or http://www.free-ocr.com/ and load screenshot (both pages have thier limitations - f.e. first can read 15 images/hour, and there are bad results for colored text). You can use any OCR - probably there are better tools that provides better results. 4. Take text and fill the power info 5. Fix issues after reading it with ocr
The IFTTT part is free. SMS charges may apply. If you don't want that, you have multiple options available to you as the "then" part, the result. You can do an Android or iOS notification, any number of push clients (Pushbullet, Push.co, Pushover, Boxcar), as well as simple old email. Take a look at all the Channels here.
Another IFTTT recipe. My other one relied on Hub4Heroes, which, because it is only one person, misses those random hero codes that have been popping up lately and running out in an hour or two.
This one goes off of anything marked with the Giveaway flair on this subreddit. Hopefully you won't miss as many.
Remember, though, please be fair and take only one per account when it comes around again.
I already have Private Internet Access for other stuff ^winkwinknudgenudge , but I was chatting with a few people in-game and they said they were having trouble with free VPNs like Hola, I made sure they knew to delete the site's cookies but they already had. You could try a proxy site like hidemyass.com or whatever else. Someone thought they may have caught on that people were using VPNs so they blocked them, but I find that pretty unbelievable. I haven't tried since I first posted but if you still can't figure it out DM me with the person you want and I'll try to get it for you, I'm free for the next couple hours or so.
In regards to the Razer Naga Hex recommendations. It's what I use and it's perfect for MH.
In response to your actual question, I'd suggest Ghost Rider. Set right-click to Damnation (Hellfire or Hellfire Beam at lower levels), set left-click to Penance Stare. If you've got spare buttons you can bind them to his other damage layers or maybe Medkit use, but those two powers should be enough to clear most areas. You could also pick Scarlet Witch and max out Chaos Warp, or Deadpool with Canadian Devil.
> How much did we know about the dynamic combat system before they were about to roll it out?
Uh, we knew for over a year that was coming.
> How much did we know about this giant overhaul before they were a month away from their target roll out date?
We knew it was coming because they have been hinting at it forever. They even said it would be changing the game.
> I think your assumption that it's not happening because nothing has leaked is pretty weak reasoning.
I think it is perfectly reasonable using your examples. lol
> But spending all this money just for controller support on the PC seems illogical.
Funny, because so many people were super excited to get it that it seems perfectly logical in hindsight.
> Your network of friends is the only gaming demographic out there?
I love this argument. So annoying and completely illogical. I never said anything about this being my network of friends did I? Sure, I have friends that game on consolers and yes, they all do have controllers for their PCs too. But I am talking about beyond that small amount of people. Do you not go to any gaming blogs, forums, or anywhere but here? You hear about it everywhere how people want controller support for games because they are so used to it for their consoles. This isn't a small demographic, this is millions upon millions of people. Every new game release I see people asking if it will have controller support, its so common place now it's absolutely ridiculous to even think of releasing a game without it.
> Not everyone has the money for all of that.
Because 20 dollars for a logitech controller for the PC is breaking the bank.......
Edit: I'm sorry, make that 14.99 instead of 20.
Garth Ennis' run on The Punisher is absolutely Legendary, and probably some of his best work. This is more adult oriented material with graphic violence and language, so it's not for everyone but it definitely does the Punisher justice.
FYI, last I checked, it's not available on the Marvel Unlimited sub.
Technically, maybe....

If buying via Steam is the problem, what about Amazon? http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Heroes-2015-Bundle-Online/dp/B00R6K49WM/ I bought from there without any issues but unsure what their "cut" is. I also was able to get Gaz to review after the sale (I purchased 2 days before the New Years sale) and they gave me the extra G's.
