Mountain: 4:00 PM (Do we have any players in this time zone?)
Central: 5:00 PM
Eastern: 6:00 PM

And that should be 10:00 PM for those who use GMT.

BOON ON, DUDES!

As someone who was in the Beta, and walked away from the game shortly after launch, I can say that it has pulled a complete 180, and has just continued to get better in every way.

If you haven't played this game, you should.

The physics in this game are great. It's so satisfying sending things flying with movement powers, or radiating blasts of energy and sending ragdolls flying. Plus, punching MODOK around once you defeat him. :allears:

Bugs are fun! Storm's Freezing Tempest doesn't show as being toggled on in the hotbar, and it also dosen't apply the Max Spirit Reduction.

And Mr. Strange's Mysticism bar will fill up, but the next Incantation used while it's full is still costing Spirit.

Panther is limited to Avengers, Fantastic Four, and S.H.I.E.L.D., so that cuts Groot out.

Marvel needs to make everyone join the Guardians, so that everyone can have a Groot. Only having 3 that can use it is such a shame.

Ok, update.

We could not fix the radius so we are sadly removing the proc, and based on community feedback, we are replacing it with 10% chance to gain 100 tenacity (1 minute cooldown)! I personally feel this is a super awesome 15/10 proc! Here's a screen from the test server:

Introducing a brand-new feature for Marvel Heroes: Cosmic Prestige Level!

Tired of those slackers who only have level 5 red prestige? Now you can get your very own Cosmic prestige, complete with cosmic yellow name.

Here's the catch: You gotta earn it. Playing through Cosmic Prestige will take you 25 times longer than a normal prestige.

For serious, hard-core, slightly-deranged players only.

Cores aren't rare at all. Good cores (three affixes, all useful) are rare.

Swap affixes also swaps cores.

You can't ever get the core back, though.

This also applies to the Artifacts you use to add a Visual Effect to your costume.

Sometimes, I'd really like it if we could, at the very least, get back the Artifact. Ah well. It's not like the don't drop a lot. A lot.

Correct. Pubbies can't understand that this wave, the objective is to Save The Citizens, and DO NOT KILL PYRO!. Don't matter WHO you use, you kill Pyro, you lose.

Cease to Hope posted:

Make sure you're using Agile Attack whenever you're getting pounded, and pick up some more health. Dodge characters are really vulnerable to spiky damage.

The AOE damage problem you can't do a ton about at the moment, since SM relies so heavily on his sig to make up for his kind of iffy AOE until you get Wrecking Ball. I kind of like taking the buttslam in the third tree, too, but it's not something you'll use once you have Wrecking Ball and I don't know if you have it yet.

Actually, Amazing Smash + Leaping Assault clears out all the trash. It's a pretty damned good combo. Especially in the currently boosted Holo Sim.

Is there a method of leveling up uniques via crafting or do I farm higher level versions of them?

Levels 15, 17, and 19 of your Crafter have recipes to upgrade a Unique to Level 40, 50, and 60, respectivly.

Upgrading it to Level 50 is a waste of resources. Since you don't have to progress through the levels, you can upgrade a sub-40 to 40, then upgrade it to 60 when you hit 60.

Of course, there's always the chance that a better rolled one will drop before then.

So our datamining buddies at Horadric.ru are having some kind of contest. They're giving away codes for Colossus, Deadpool, and Iron Man. 1 hero each day, 10 winners each day, you can only win once.

They'll make a topic on the forum for the Hero being given away, and you answer the question (things like, "What do you like best about MH?", with the answers having no impact on your odds of winning). They randomly pick their 10 winners from those who reply.

It actually started on April 2, and will run through April 16.

Today's code is for Iron Man. It'll be Colossus tomorrow, then Deadpool, then back to Iron Man.

Here's the article via Google Translate.

When you're at the Crafter, if you need something that's in your Team-Up Inventory, there's a new, neat little icon that will let you switch between Personal and Team-Up Inventory.

By the top right corner, to the right of the 4th Artifact slot, is the Team-Up icon, with a little circle arrow thingy under it. Click that box, and it switches the inventory for you.

It only works at Crafters, sadly.

Also: If they made an Enhanced Costume for every character that had dialogue as good as what Taskmaster has, they'd make a LOT of money. "You're just a second-rate Wolverine." Taskmaster to Sabertooth. :supaburn:
