So I'm getting into this game and am thinking of uncapping my husbando (Star Lord) for my first hero. Is this a bad idea? Also how's Captain Marvel?

I like them both. I hated star lord at one time. He is pretty squishy and leveling him was a very awkward experience compared to others. I am a much bigger fan now than I was. I really like his kit. It's skill bloat but when you get in a rhythm, it's like a piano at times.

Captain Marvel, what sion said. She's pretty strong now though and has come a long way. Much easier to play than slord but if he is your waifu, you kinda have no choice but to play with waifu Pete Quillinham.

star-lord's kinda bleh, he has a mechanic that sounds neat on paper(load up elemental ammo then spend it with different attacks) but it doesn't really add much in play and just makes him kinda obtuse

I like that there is a Van Dyne store in Hightown :allears:

never release Wasp gaz

Also doing Hightown without a teleport is a tremendous amount of fun. Ziggurat omega node with the changes please gaz.

Big omega rework is this month. No idea what to expect.

There is speculation of acquiring omegas faster for newer players. The goal is to get everybody to 7,500 much faster.

Again, we will see what happens.

I'm hoping that they'll make them easier to get when you are a lower omegas and then have it slow down gradually until you hit the cap. Having them all take the same time is dumb and just scares away new players when they only earn 30 or so omega points by leveling to 60.

also a new omega tab you started teasing the time travel one back in loving november 2014 gaz :gaz:

You know, for being a pink-particle generic ninja woman, Psylocke is... really fun. I think it's the fact that her dash is like twice as far as everyone else's and also goes through walls.

Psylocke is a dumb comic book character, but for the same reason she's actually one of the few that isn't kind of ridiculous to turn into a Diablo II class. She has a whole kit.

She's one of my favorites to play, although I think her numbers have fallen behind.

Psylocke's been pretty cool the last 10 years or so, she just has all that dumb poo poo before it.

Psylocke will be cool once they finally get around to her uniques. Amthua thought her uniques were fine though so I'm not holding my breath.

Deadpool is a strong first hero pick but his lack of spirit will ruin you once you have to account for spirit as a thing. Seriously though he's loving bonkers. Like, effortlessly 60%+ crit and brut chance on him. I've been just throwing together random poo poo builds on him and doing insane damage. The melee build I hosed up making halfway but stuck with it cause I hate clicking 130+ times every time I reset doesn't even have a skill on every hotkey...

Any hero can be fun to play.

Apart from Mr Fantastic he's boring as gently caress. Until you get his sig then he's boring as gently caress whenever it's on cooldown.

Deadpool, no spirit costs on anything and a teleport at level 1, AoE machine gun unlocked at level 1.

Magik, no spirit cost teleport, unlocks corpse explosion at level 6. Just teleport around casting corpse explosion on everything.

There are so many characters that have really dumb design like a necessary AoE or specialization that unlocks in the 40's or running out of spirit after 3 dashes in a row.

Hello all -

Thanks for all the feedback on the crafting changes that were released in the update last week. I wanted to give an update on what we are doing in response to concerns from players about crafting recipe costs.

We are increasing the amount of crafting elements that will drop from cosmic content. The idea is for them to drop in single stacks of several so that you wont need to manually pick up several different single elements.

We will be adding a recipe that allows you to reroll just a costume affix value. For example, you will use the offensive affix recipes to roll different offensive affixes you may want, and then you can use the new recipes to reroll ONLY the value.

We will be doing a broad pass of crafting recipe costs for the release later this month. This will be done after seeing how things are settling out after the first 2 changes. We want to make sure that we aren't turning too many knobs at once.
The first 2 items are being targeted for next week's patch as it would be too risky to try to rush them out for this weeks patch.

We have no plans to allow crafting materials to autoloot currently. We have some plans in the pipleline that would assist with this, but nothing to announce right now. We will, as always, continue to listen to feedback and adjust accordingly.

(Emphasis mine.)

About time. It doesn't fix the issue of CDR being pretty much the only affix anyone would ever want to roll, but it's a nice change regardless. Perhaps one of these days we'll even get a recipe to straight upgrade items from ilvl 63 to 69!

Asros posted:

Reviewing which runes autopopulate will be done in the recipe cost review.

Oh yeah, runes will stack to 1000 as well.

Also, to add the previous post. It means we will have to roll CDR, then we can just reroll the CDR value.

I do kind of hope they make auto looting crafting mats a thing. I used to have 1 stash full of pure elements and i never needed to search for them when I was adding costume affixes or anything. Now I only have 4 stacks of 120 and will need to retrain myself to pick them up again.

Release the zenpool, and also symbiote rocket. #costumegate
