I've still a newbie who has only been playing a bit over a week, and I have two guys who have cleared cosmic trial. My starter was nightcrawler, who, in retrospect, was a bad choice. I bought ghost rider with cakes, and his damnation build seems kind of bullshit strong compared to anything nightcrawler can do. Once I had a set of 63 class uniques I cleared the trial pretty easily.

With shards I've randomed doom and iron fist. Doom I also cleared the trial with fairly easily. I am probably close to doing it with iron fist, using twin styles, but his AoE is kind of lovely compared to ghost rider's flame bullshit. He is more fun to play though.

Its kinda terrifying. You guys talking about hundred of runs of a single terminal, and I've yet to clear the Cosmic Trial on any of the 5 guys I've got at 60.
Running terminals is just a case of mashing your teleport until the boss and blowing them up. Well, with the exception of Ultron and Kl'rt because they are For Serious Players™ and therefore need to be gated by bullshit. Once you get a rhythm you can probably farm Dr Grabby Hands like 3 times a minute while watching tv.

Cosmic Trial you have to do poo poo like think about gear level and pay attention to death zones.

I loving hate the Ultron terminal. The Iron Legionnaires, okay sure. Mass of blue/yellow adds, okay fine. Both at once? Go gently caress yourself, I'm gonna sit over here and respawn and die over and over while I pick poo poo off.

I tried CT on my main, IM 4-5 times, and kept timing out on phase one thanks to the drat hulkbusters. I've not tried it on WM who feels much more punchy. Hulk I don't like enough to jack with it. Rocket is meh, not really digging the whole summoner thing. Cap America I enjoy but not sure if I want to bother.

I blasted all my genosha and bought the slot 1 upgrades to 66 and 69. All I've got the coms for so far.

It's really just the second ones simply because you have no room to maneuver on the wave of adds which means you pull the minibosses and then you have even less room to maneuver due to death zones. The first one there's plenty of room to fight, and the third one you can wipe the adds before starting on the Legionnaires. They should swap one of the Legionnaires out to the first group so that at least in the second you're not trying to avoid being slowed and fighting a horde of guys and dodging aoes in a goddamn closet.

I've figured out how to clear the adds out an pull the legionnaires individually on both of the paired fights. It helps but I still loving hate fighting them. Number 4 is the biggest dick out of the bunch.

I've done CT with something like 20 characters and IM was one of the hardest. Maybe my build just sucks (missiles!) but he seems to be on the weaker end of the scale.

I just hate how they seem to have like a 40% chance of having cosmic bulwark. If the melee one has it he ends being literally invincible for 50% of the fight.

Did they nerf the Cosmic Trial over the past 6-9 months? I took a break around 9 months ago and was struggling with a few characters in the Cosmic trial, had gotten Jean Grey and Spidey through back then but had issues with War Machine and Ms Marvel. Was able to easily pass on both of them without any significant changes in gear over the past week. Seems like Red Skull damage is a lot lower now than it was back then, I would randomly get one shot against Red Skull before but felt I could tank most of his damage now. Was he nerfed or was it just changes due to the defensive adjustments?

Missile build for the win. Though I've diversified and picked up Unibeam to go with One Off. I could probably put those points back into missiles but I'm really just screwing around after running IM straight up to red 60 from 1, and as my first character.

They did a big defense rework several months ago that made a lot of characters more survivable.

They most definitely have monkeyed with the octobot drop rate because the only one I ever got in my 4k+ hours was from a blue box, and since last week's update I've gotten two with absolutely no boosts running. And all I've been doing is occasionally grinding cosmic times square and doom castle for stupid cheeves so they weren't even from Doc Ock.

unfortunately all those heroes you listed are bottom of the marvel heroes hotdog barrel, only capable of clearing the trial with higher omegas and gear

do what the other new players do and grab one of the OP heroes that can pass it in leveling gear

Hey all,

Sorry for the delayed update while I was traveling this week!

This week we're focused on getting Miles Morales out to the live servers as well as bug fixes and some server maintenance.

Next week (and later this week), we'll be focused purely on Test Center for Dynamic Combat Level. We're making a number of changes to that system which we'll detail soon. We're also working on the Kamala Khan Team-Up who is shaping out to be quite ridiculous (no pun intended).

In the next few weeks you can also expect to see a revamped and redesigned Avengers Tower, with some Chapter 1 improvements further down the line (continuing the new experience found in The Raft).

So patch this week for Miles. No patch next week. Patch at end of the month ideally for DCL.

Have a great rest of the week!

I'm working on Wanda now. Her dot tree, (can't remember the name,) is moderately entertaining. I'm told shes one of the top 5? Jean is next unless I punt her a second time. After that I've got Marvel, Blade, and X-23.

E; Disruption. I logged in to look at my available heroes, but forgot to look at the tree name. Idiot.
