2018 Future Character Poll - Update 5

$
0
0

We haven't had a big universal future character poll in a while, and now with Spider-woman announced and a little more optimism about releases sloshing around, that throws the poll open a bit at the top for the future!

So - simple rules
1) List four characters who aren't playable yet, any more than four and the additional ones will be ignored
2) There is no weighting, all votes are worth one vote regardless of order.
3) Much as I get why you might, don't list the Fantastic Four or Silver Surfer. On the other hand, feel free to list Namor or F4 franchise characters who haven't been playable before. Doesn't mean they are plausible, but still good
4) **Voting for the same character multiple times doesn't give them additional votes.
**
I'll try to update with totals as regularly is feasible.

Off you go!

Thanks to @TravisEpic 's very helpful spreadsheet for helping me sort this.


Bit of a quieter day today, but to save bigger batches of counting later, here are the totals as of @Wightraven with a little more analysis as I've spent less time counting:

Band 1
1 - Angel (89)

  • Really seems to be on a tier of his own in this poll, he's been in the lead since very early on.

Band 2
2 - Wasp (65)
3 - Cloak and Dagger (60)

  • This pair/trio have been really neck and neck throughout - Wasp has generally been in the lead, but it's been very very tight. Both are making their full debuts to the MCU next year too, so seeing them this high already is promising for them.

Band 3
4 - Namor (51)
5 - Dazzler (50)
6 - Songbird - (47)
7 - Quicksilver (46)
=8 - Quake (45)
=8 - Havok (45)
10 - Agent Venom (43)

A fairly dense little pack of entrants here, with very few votes needed to shift it around substantially. To our knowledge, Namor and Quicksilver still have their issues at play though, so the rest probably get a bit of a boost to their chances.

Band 4
11 - Jubilee (38)

While a respectable showing, she's notably down on her rankings from last year - has getting her team up in game placated the people voting for her in previous polls?

Band 5
=12 - Hercules - (33)
=12 - Mystique (33)
14 - Crystal (31)
15 - Nico Minoru (28)
16 - Kamala Khan (27)
=17 - Adam Warlock (26)
=17 - Sandman (26)
19 - Medusa (25)
=20 - Captain Britain (24)
=20 - Multiple-man (24)
22 - Bishop (23)

Another pretty dense pack of characters, again, with very few votes needed to shift things around here. Most notably, this feels like a very good showing for Hercules given how little exposure he's ever been given outside the comics. A slowly creeping up Adam Warlock is possibly a ramification of a certain GotG2 scene?

After that, without specific rankings

Polaris (20)
Black Knight (19)
Falcon (18)
Professor X (17)
Cannonball (16)
Gamora (14)
Wonder-man (14)
Enchantress (14)
Deathlok (13)
Blink (13)
Omega Red (12)
Sabretooth (12)
Morbius (12)
Groot (12)
Domino (12)
Spiral (12)
Sentry (12)
Banshee (11)
Yondu (11)
Firestar (10)
Drax (10)
Mysterio (10)
Pixie (10)

As characters are starting to accumulate in the low teens, next time I do a count up, the minimum level for listing will probably rise to 15, so if you like any of the characters with 14 votes or less and haven't voted yet, now is probably the time!

There are now 243 characters voted for across 1643 votes of which around 110 have one vote only.

Also Featuring:
Rom and Red Sonja - not owned by Marvel/Disney
Henry Gyrich - Not an action hero
Nick Fury Snr - Enhanced costume material at best
Ultimate Hawkeye and Maker - Enhanced Costume material more so
Each of the Original F4 who I specifically made void in the opening post
Judge Dredd
Kool-Aid Man
Batman


Also - two quick notes:

1 - If you are picking a legacy hero, make sure to specify which character in the legacy you are going for or I'll pick who I consider most notable. For example, please put either Quasar (Wendell Vaugn) or Quasar (Phyla-Vell) or I'll default to Wendell. As a fan of Phyla who is indifferent to Wendell, don't make me do that!

2 - Disclaimer: For ease of me listing, I'll convert characters over to the identity that I think of them in most reflexively eg. so a vote for Spectrum/Photon/whichever alias will be listed under Monica Rambeau. There is no pattern to this, although often just to their actual name. Characters this applies to so far include: America Chavez, Monica Rambeau, Dani Moonstar.

For the sake of transparency - my own votes were: Kamala Khan, Jubilee, Adam Warlock and Misty Knight

Additional Powers on Costumes twitter comments????

So with Carnage being announced, I've reluctantly been thinking about starting up again here, to at least play him for a while and give him a try when he releases, however I ran across this on Reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelheroes/comments/6n36yh/costumes_may_become_more_than_only_cosmetics/

Has there been any more information on this, other than some very vague Twitter comments by @Asros ? I really worry about this, with Costumes really being pretty much strictly paid content (outside of blender/rare events/etc).... Now I know Marvel Heroes isn't highly competitive, however one thing I have praised to friends over the years, is how much you can do in and play in here for free. However, if this is really the plan going forward, locking additional powers into paid costumes, this could very much so, blur past the lines into a P2W style game.... (Again not in a competitive sense) Having paid character powers seems like a terrible idea to me, sure some may like the idea and though, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but as I asked, just curious if there is any further information about this.

anything marked with a B) means a Gaz employee has commented on in this thread and hopefully working on a future resolve

anything with a o:) means resolution has been stated in a rent patch and just awaiting a confirmation of a fix before removing form the list

I finally removed Insane in the Brain from this list as both Doom and Brevik kills are possible again confirmed

Future... Future Foundation Fortune Card Conversion?

$

0

With the removal of Future Fortune Cards, we've been given the ability to trade the, now expired, Foundation Communication Devices into Clea for Web Shooters.

My question to Devs is: Will there be any other FC ingredients we can convert the [expired] Foundation Communication Devices into? Like existing or not-yet-released FC ingredients? Or will we only be able to convert them into Web Shooters from now until forever??

I'm asking because I already pulled the only costume I wanted from the Homecoming Fortune Cards, and would hate to waste my Communication Devices on Web Shooters, if there is a possibility of converting them into some other card ingredient in the future.

Apologies if this already been answered by a dev post.

Thanks! @asros @KomoriMan @AgentVapor @AFongTwo

Doctor Doom's default costume...

I realized today that Dr. Doom's default costume, which was the white "Future Foundation" one, has been changed to the "Classic" green one (which btw still remains available for purchase in the store). Couldn't you game developers be so dear as to gift the missing "Future Foundation" costume to all of us who had purchased Dr. Doom prior to the F4 related incident?
Thank you in advance for your time.


Blender results, duplicate ratio I've had from 360+ costumes [120+ blends].

$
0
0

There is 62 heroes, I've played 60 of them. All of them I've prestiged to the red prestige which gives 6 costumes per hero. So it's 60*6=360 of primary costumes. I also have 1 costume from white Invisible Woman, I kept 1 white Doom costume I've had 5 costumes from random achivements and lucky Scrolls [those could be dupes but I just don't remeber] and 3 dupes from MK I cards. I didn't blend any non duplicate costume. Which gives total number of 366 costumes to blend which is 122 blends.

There is total of 340 costumes that are not default, chase, achivement reward or card lock. My friend run a simulation that 10.000 times chose 122 random picks of that number to see how many duplicates will be shown at average if all costumes have the same chance of being picked. With 10k simulatons 95% of results fall between certain min and max [confidency intervals of 95% population - this ignores the rare outliers].

So the simulation showed that on average (expected value) you should get 102 unique costumes and 20 dupes which can be again blended [didn't include chance of those being again dupes]. That minimum ammount [without the 5% of outliers] is 95 unique costumes and maximum amount is 110 unique costumes.

How did I fair out? After blending the dupes [didn't have room for them and didn't know I will do this calculation in the future] I ended up with 114 unique costumes. Not a bad number and it kinda shows that the system isn't broken.

Thanks Gaz for the chance and a fair one at that.

BLACK PANTHER Danai Gurira Teases Her Role As Okoye; M'Baku Will Not Be Called Man-Ape In The Film

$

Danai Gurira is mostly known for playing Michonne on AMC's The Walking Dead so she's no stranger to the comic book world. However she is new to the MCU as her role is Okoye, the leader of the Dora Milaje in the upcoming Black Panther film. Entertainment Weekly has now posted an interview she did for the media magazine on her role in the the film and teases us with some details.

"She is an extremely proud Wakandan," explains Gurira when asked about what we should expect from her here. "She’s very proud of her people, her country, and her heritage. She is a traditionalist. She is rooted in what is, what has been done, how we do things as Wakandans. How we have done things, and how that must be preserved. She is a lover and protector of her people and of the throne. To protect the throne, you are protecting the core institution of the nation, which allows it to thrive. She has a deep passion and connection to her country, to her people, and to the very special nature of who and what they are. Preserving that is something that is at the core of who she is."

It looks like there won't be any tension between her and T'Challa since she is 100% loyal to whomever sits at the throne. "She’s not in conflict with him. They work together. She works with him and she cares deeply for the royal family."

Gurira then talked about her characters background. "She is from the border tribe. [This is the group that maintains the disguise that Wakanda is a modest, agrarian nation.] She is not someone who rolled out of bed and got where she is. She is someone who is purposeful. She has been purposeful all her life."

Winston Duke's Role As M'Baku Will Not Be Called Man-Ape In The Film According to Producer Nate Moore

Casting a black actor in the role of M'Baku is obviously problematic in this day and age if they had called him Man-Ape as it would come off as racist. Black Panther producer Nate Moore stated in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that the character M'Baku will not be referred to as 'Man-Ape' in the film.
"We don’t call him Man-Ape," producer Nate Moore confirms in an interview. with EW. "We do call him M’Baku. Having a black character dress up as an ape, I think there’s a lot of racial implications that don’t sit well, if done wrong. But the idea that they worship the gorilla gods is interesting because it’s a movie about the Black Panther who, himself, is a sort of deity in his own right."

As you can see in the image above M'Baku still retains some of his look from the comics with the white gorilla fur on his armor. However M'Baku's role in the film is his grievance towards T'Challa being on the throne and reaching out to the outside world, and M'Baku believes Wakanda should remain hidden. "In M’Baku’s worldview, T’Chaka made a huge mistake going to the U.N.," Moore adds. "‘We should never engage with the outside world. That’s a terrible mistake. And if his son is anything like his father, I don’t support him being on the throne.'"

"Politically, he just has different ideology," says Moore of the villain who wants to be king. "Man-Ape is a problematic character for a lot of reasons, but the idea behind Man-Ape we thought was really fascinating. … It’s a line I think we’re walking, and hopefully walking successfully."

Black Panther arrives in theaters July 16, 2018.

What indicates that you are doing a Cosmic Danger Room?

In both Cosmic Terminals and Cosmic Patrols, the map border turns yellow for Cosmic difficulty. However, no matter what color Danger Room Scenario I use, the map is always a red border. There's no secret trial or mode to enter Cosmic Danger Room, right? I just want to be sure I'm getting the proper rewards for the work.

Reflection on Gaz

$
0
0

So I just wanted to give some well needed appriciation to @Asros, @KomoriMan and the rest of them. It doesnt matter how angry people have been, including myself, over things Gaz have done, we still need to face it, we have it pretty damn good in this game and with this company.

This reflection came about as I tried Secret World Legends from FunCom. I had seen devblogs and had hopes it would turn out well as a F2P game, but nothing the devs said was true, except for a great story in the game. So many thing were obvious cash grabs. Weapon unlocks and so on. If you dont wanna pay it gets extremely hard to keep unlocking weapons you need for passive stats to boost your character. Another thing was them saying everything is solo-able in story, no matter what style you like to play. This was probably said due to the fact that when you realize it isnt true, you likely rather shell out RL cash then grind your eyes out to unlock the right weapons. I figured it out too late when doing a story dungeon in act3. Being a melee focused hero I had no chance killing one of the bosses since it is a dps race and every attack he does has a knockback. I had already ulocked a few needed weapons for in-game currency at that point so my next one would take me 6(!) days of grinding, not factoring in the time it takes to get xp to have points to spend in skills and passives when I get it. Also, there is no respec in the game, which they also forgot to tell you, but you can buy skill points and such for hefty amounts of cash. This is the point where I uninstalled, because I wanted to play the story solo, at my own time and not be forced into a group until hitting end-game.

All this got me thinking about how honest Gaz actually are and how most of their decisions arent as bad as we seem to think at times. Another thing in SWL. People complained about "no loot" since you upgrade gear by sacrificing other gear. So the devs made a little slap-in-the-face move and altered the dungeon drops, so the chests had a 50/50 chance to hold items instead of upgrade materials. People were happy until they realized a crap item is worth 100xp, while a small upgrade "token" is worth 250xp. Gaz wouldnt do such a thing, because they tend to know what is more beneficial, even if it doesnt seem to be the most "fun" way, like the BUE. It might not have been a slam for everyone, but Gaz did it for a reason and it is working.

People, including myself tend to bicker about how bad loot is in MH. It is bad, no denying it. But it is even worse in some other games, like SWL. You cant farm gear at your own pace or where you want to. You need to re-run quests to get loot bags, mobs drop nothing. This is like if Gaz would force you to re-run story for every single piece of loot we want. Still not kidding @Asros the loot system in MH is horrible atm.

After uninstalling SWL I kept on reflecting over other games I've played that have been F2P or B2P. I could only come up with one that has good quality when it comes to the MMO market and that is GW2. Both ArcheAge and Black Desert also had horrible business models and a very punishing "free" format. Black Desert being the worst since it was a B2P with F2P limitations either way.

Even with the current steps Gaz have taken, like the transition into a more RNG-box/FC based costume scene, I still feel they are a good company that does what they do because it is needed to stick around. It doesnt mean I will support it and buy FCs or random boxes, but I can live with default costumes if others buy those cards and boxes to help keep the game afloat across the platforms.

I think the next time we want to rage at Gaz we should really think about how other games and companies treat us. Not that Gaz doesnt deserve criticism, but atleast let it be constructive and fair. It is easy to get tunnelvisioned when it is something we burn for, luckily I tried something else and had it open my mind and eyes.

Looking forward to Carnage now. Having a semi-break necroing stuff in D3, but will get my psycho on when Carnage arrives. Just like last year anniversary drained me a bit, but I've still been running some Bugles most every day (awesome terminal, hope Apoc and future terms will be similar).

Hey comic guys can you help me to find some comics?

I would like to read comics with:

  • Punisher using brain and high tech gear [not his classic shooting dealers with carbines and granades]
  • Some good representation of Taskmaster [besides his two solo runs and Punisher vs Deadpool because I've red those]
  • Comic with an interesting villain and his interesting plot [like Kang but not Kang because I've red few of his stories]
  • Spider-man using his genius to combat problems

Last one is more vague.
Comic that is different and unique. Interesting good story that isn't standard. It can be about less known characters or an problem that makes you think. Something that doesn't use old tropes and those which it uses it uses in a new way.

Is it me or most of the medallions aren't usefull?

@Winterthur you will probably have data about this but are most of the medalions just not used? Medallions unlike the Artifacts or uniques are equally difficult to collect so big difference between their usefullnes shouldn't be that big.

How many of 66 medallions do you use on all your heroes? 10? 20?

He just mentioned this on the XBox Twitch Stream. This was a console stream, so take from that what you will.

Edit: Says 200K players worldwide a day across all players/platforms, and admits last year was basically a wash for PC players and in abandon-mode because of the all-in for the console push.

Probably worth watching the recording of the livestream, the CEO is being quite candid, and it's fairly refreshing, definitely have a better opinion of Dave from this

How to have fun with this game again?

$

I've been here since launch. Put hundreds of hours ans dollars into this game.

I have every hero max level and most prestieged at least once.

The way I played was different builds. For example, I'd play through Gambit melee to 60. Next time I play him I play him ranged.

I never was about min, maxing. Couldn't care less about cosmic. I came back for the Spider-Man terminal and played it twice. Same enemies recycled with the same bosses except for Vulture.

Whenever I play I can't play more than an hour. I try to do some legendary quests and I get bored running the same terminals I've done with no change for 4 years.

I get bored of midtown because it's just non stop fighting, but the fighting isn't challenging.

Even with traits that change powers I don't care. I thought the anniversary might make me interested but all it was only a rehash of all the events we normally get anyway.

I used to get excited because there was a new hero every month, one shots announced, and cool costumes not locked behind fortune cards.

The omega node system was flawed but the choices were interesting. Infinity system just adds more stats. So instead of a cool effect or mechanic, I just kill an enemy in 2 hits instead of 3.

I only play anymore because I've invested so much into it already.

I need people to play with. I don't care about leveling fast or getting the best gear. I'd rather just go blow Trash Panda! up together with friends in Danger Room.

Razyel's Back in Movement Build

Subpoena's Sustained DPS Thread (Infinity Changes/Cosmic Item Affix/Patch 2.07)

$

** Many Changes**
Round Robin turned off in Infinity, Cosmic Affix Working Wonders for Movement Builds

Methodology: Go solo into Shield Training room and smash the "Level 63 Raid Dummy on COSMIC training room. This is currently the best way to test the sustained DPS of a character.

Goal: My goal is to see the highest potential of every character, regardless of the build. I consider team-ups, Infinity points, ultimate level, etc., as going toward the max potential of a character.

• As stated above in "Goal", I want to see the best a character can be. I believe there are enough people geared out with each character to make this list possible.

• I want to see the best a character can be. Infinity points are part of that. If you feel you have a superior build, please share it here and/or with your class forums so everyone gets better.

General Rules

  1. Time begins when the dummy takes damage.

  2. No setup for your character except for abilities that you can use before engaging a boss.

    Examples: Wolverine popping his crit/critical damage buff. Yes
    Stacking Buffs from the Omega tree or items. No
    Example: Do not build combo points if you cannot generate them before engaging in combat.

  3. You may NOT use any outside buffs to your dps. Show the buff bar.

  4. IMPORTANT
    Do not use potions to buff your dps, and yes that includes achievement brews. If you do not show your buff bar, I cannot count the video as legitimate even though it most likely is.

Exceptions Tribute on Moonknight since he can only use it once during the kill anyway. Pet Classes may have all of their pets out before the dummy spawns/respawns. Jean Grey may begin with full phoenix force. I believe this will give a more accurate representation of their capabilities.

I do not see the need for any exceptions given the health of the dummy as of today. If you feel there is a need then please bring it to my attention, and I will try to make an informed decision about it. Thanks.

Also please remember this is to benefit the community and is not some kind of contest. I'm not giving out any prizes; there is no need to try and cheese the test in any manner. The characters dps is what it is...let's go from there and work on making everyone the best they can be.

How do I video my self?

Step 1. Get a recorder. I use a free program called Bandicam. You can download it here. http://www.bandicam.com/downloads/

Other Options: If you have a modern Nvidia card, you can use Shadowplay instead.
http://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience/shadowplay - Recommended by @mikwuyma

https://obsproject.com/ - Recommended by @Nootteryouknow

Step 2. Upload to Youtube.

Step 3. Copy paste the link in the forums. The forums will embed the video for you, no magic needed.

Where do I go?
