The sound design in the game is a little flat at times, I can't remember how Cap's shield sounds, which is probably not a great sign, it feels good to use, though, you can do all the funky tricks like flinging it, hitting multiple people and then kicking it back at them super hard when it returns to you.

With marvel heroes dead I guess that’ll have to do

Played some single player last night and thought I finished the mission after the intro, then decided to try out multiplayer. It didn't save any of my progress after knocking out taskmaster

cool

And now when I try to resume, Iron man is the one who knocks out taskmaster and he speaks with black widow's voice.

cool cool

Also can't skip the movie after the intro and it freezes to a black screen after it plays and never comes back so it's literally impossible to progress now

cool cool cool

Guess I bought a $60 2-minute body swap movie

playing multiplayer and i tried to climb up to a platform that had a glass railing and the glass shattered while climbing and now I'm just holding onto a non-existent glass railing and I can't get off lol.

game's top streamer, a sponsored stream with 50k viewers, just spent like 15 minutes trying to get the game to allow him to join a group, then pick a hero, then actually get into the game, with repeated failures at each stage

now the game's glitching constantly while he runs through the soupy lovely looking combat

this looks like a janky F2P title

It's a pretty fun little brawler when it actually works, which isn't often right now

Finally got past that bug by completely deleting my save and starting over, but now I need to do that god awful stealth section again.

I’m not having too much trouble getting multiplayer games. Most of them aren’t full but I get 1-2 extra people pretty easily.

It’s only really hard to find games when you are low power level since that limits the pool of missions you’re eligible for pretty heavily

I love games where you just destroy tons of randos and have some moderate progression mechanics and I gotta say this is scratching that itch well. Losing my first 3-4 hours of progress to a bug that required deleting my save was pretty disenheartening and if that happens again I’m probably just done, but for now I’m digging it.

I hope that they have (or add) a level above legendary items with some truly unique effects though. I can definitely picture getting to max level and being like ok who cares about grinding out slightly better legendaries right now

I’ve just been playing hulk since my progress reset. He’s great cause he can do almost anything and his health management is fairly easy once you learn to manage all your resources.

Also I like that when he unlocks a terminal he just looks around for a few seconds and then gives it a little bonk

That's one of the main reasons i'm absolutely enamored with Hulk. Grabbing two stilletos and swinging them about with reckless abandon before smashing them into each other and causing a massive shockwave is top five current gaming experiences level

Hulk is good. There are pretty much no situations he can't deal with really well. I'm pretty much always beating the most dangerous guy to death with the 2 next most dangerous guys. Bunch of shields? Giant boulder swing that breaks them all at once. Everything I'm fighting is always knocked down, knocked into the air, or REALLY knocked into the air and flying a hundred yards away. I'm also getting massive life refills from all my skills and my rage meter and especially takedowns, and I'm laying down massive gamma radiation fields that are draining everything I've taunted.

The only thing that sucks is fighting supervillains and that's just cause it's long and boring. Punch punch punch maybe dodge if I feel like it punch punch punch regen sure why not punch punch punch oh he's dead

I'm still in the middle of the campaign, how necessary is it to do these side missions? I'd like to focus on the campaign first if that's possible.

They usually just give you some gear or cosmetics or something. I think the enemies in campaign mostly scale to your level so you can do whatever you want really.

I used to get all of them on the map but now I don’t pick them up unless they’re on my way to the main objective.

Basically farm them if you’re trying to push up your Power in the early to mid-late game. I actually don’t want to raise my power level too far out of line with my character level when bringing up a character because then you end up in later game groups/missions without having your skills filled out.

They’re also a good source of comics and upgrade materials though so you definitely want to get SOME

Gotcha, thanks! So I should find a legendary at 130 with the perks I like then crank that?

Yeah pretty much. Some legendaries at that level drop with 3 stat bonuses so I stick with legendaries that have 3 useful stat bonuses then whatever other gear effects are secondary to me.

I’m currently sitting at 141 power with my hulk and solo elite hives, vaults, and villains without any real trouble. I rarely even use my rage trigger anymore unless I really fall asleep at the wheel

Finally got to the end of the post game quest line and beat the 14 floor hive. 14 floors of hive really shines a spotlight on how few activities there are to do in hives right now. There's smash a couple stationary objects, stand in 3 spots, kill the enemies, and protect the scientists. It was moderately harder than the other missions but I only got downed once when I decided to stand in the middle of 4 assault adaptoids and got chained to death. The artifact you get for it also seems kinda bad, especially compared to the one you get for beating all the iconic missions which is great.

Now to never play a mission in single player ever again.

Leveled the Hulk twenty times just running to the first checkpoint and restarting over and over again on DotR while watching football lol

If anyone else wants to do this, and I don’t recommend it unless you’re doing something else, you only need to reload the checkpoint after hitting the objective. You don’t need to exit back to mission select or anything. Also set your difficulty to challenge 4 since it seems to go faster.

Honestly just play the game since it’s about the same level up speed and sucks less

E: it’s a 200m jog for approximately 1/4 of a level at about lvl20. So it’s at least somewhat efficient

I think pretty much every character is broken right now if you follow the basic 2 rule plan:
1) Get the specializations that increase stun
2) Get the specializations that make more heroic orbs drop

Just gotta find the character who has skills you like that do 1 and 2

The highest level gear can drop at is 130, and then you can upgrade legendary equipment 10 times, so a full set of that gets you to 140. The remaining 10 power you get from having a fully upgraded major artifact equipped (doesn't matter which one) since every upgrade level of major artifact just adds a flat +1 to your power.

To be clear, though, I'm not sure there's any actual benefit to doing this unless the major artifact has stats on it. The best artifact for most characters imo is the one that drops orbs and unless I'm missing something (totally possible!), there isn't any actual benefit to your strength past the level where you get all 3 effects.

Multiplayer is great if you enjoy endlessly destroying samey robots in search of loot that makes it slightly easier to destroy even more robots. It's mindless fun that I can play totally shitfaced and still make progress every time. I don't know if I would call that good but I've spent more time playing it than any other game in a while.

Game definitely needs a fast spawning endless survival mode imo

So do y'all recommend upgrading all the basic abilities first and then picking tech specializations?

No. Get the skills/upgrades you see yourself using and then probably knock out the specializations that increase things like stun damage and heroic orb drops. What order you want to go in is pretty dependent on your character and what you want them to do.

They probably just wanted to kick it out to get it out and they’ll just add a bunch of poo poo over the next year. Destiny didn’t do real good at the beginning either. It’s still a bad thing to fix your game post launch instead of just making it fleshed out to begin with.

I've enjoyed the game a lot but I have to imagine with the sales/engagement numbers the developers are seeing, that they're looking at their initial draft roadmaps with a critical eye. I spent a pretty decent amount of money on Marvel Heroes but even I'm looking at the current and potential cash shop options and thinking, 'nah, I'm good'.

I don't think the game is a disaster and I don't think it will be abandoned, but I have to imagine the developers are wondering if some of the team members should be shifted to other projects sooner than originally planned.

AI generally don’t do takedowns and are kinda crappy at managing things like stun or leaning into good builds. They’re pretty good at bringing you back up when you’re downed though. It mostly just depends on if you want to play with real people
