    So in order:

    1. Cool
    2. Mwa-ha-ha
    3. Uh, isn't that just Iron Man again?
    4. Sweet.
    5. Uh, well half of his stuff is probably already in 4...
    6. I hope she has a lawyer tree.
    7. Eh. Like a year late there.
    8. Well geez, I thought I was unenthused about 7.
    9. Excellent. Hope he gets a Luke Cage summon just because I want to buddy with a guy I have as a side kick and he has me as a side kick and and and....
    10. Hmm....this could be good. Though afraid she'll be Widow 2.0.
    11. Finally a reason to zoom the screen!
    12.

    Are you not using invisibility/resonating wave to clear trash?

    Wave is a good skill but on a 4 second cooldown so its mostly bouncy disks and wave when its up and 2 or 3 the crushers overall its extremely busy as far as clicking buttons but very little dps output.

    edit: Im trying to debuff with cascading force then apply disks but im still seeing very low dps, last prestige i tried seeker orbs and blitz (movement) but it was also underwhelming.

    This is the build I use and I'm very successful with her.

    They said he was originally slated to be a launch hero but held off so they could properly design him. Said he will be nearly all physical damage and will be "Punisher in an Iron Man suit".
    8. Eh. Like a year late there.
    They couldn't use him for Cap 2 launch as someone else had exclusive release rights to Bucky.
    9. Well geez, I thought I was unenthused about 7.
    You can thank all the people on the official forums who constantly requested Blade for that.
    11. Hmm....this could be good. Though afraid she'll be Widow 2.0.
    They said she will be trap-based.
    12. Finally a reason to zoom the screen!
    Doomsaw said they are wait-and-see on Ant-Man to see if they can make him work in-game, so might be replaced.

    Yeah. No qualms whatsoever on skipping the Ultimate pack this time. Only one that is a must buy is Doom.

    well there are two heroes in there and the bonus I like to get (hint: all of them are female).

    I doubt they can do bobby drake justice, for the rest I remain cautiously indifferent, I guess?

    I'm not super excited for this lineup, but there's nobody I hate in it either. Will probably cave and get the $130 pack.

    They also mentioned that instead of spirit or shield power that War Machine might (or will, I wasn't sure) use a Mechwarrior-style heat management resource where firing any of his apparently ridiculous amount of guns builds up heat, risking the suit/guns overheating.

    So yeah, not a huge difference but enough to (maybe) justify a different character rather than just an enhanced costume.

    Some bits from forum Q&A going on:
    • Beast, Domino, Magik still looking to be released in 2015 as 200ES heroes.
    • Black Bolt coming for upcoming Marvel comics event.
    • Wasp is on short list for final Advance Pack slot, but depends on tech.
    • Nick Fury, Dazzler, Jubilee on short list.
    • Professor X, Havok, Sandman playable possibly for 2016.
    • Polaris "eventually".
    • Quicksilver: "It's actually very easy to make a guy who runs quickly, the challenge is that most people's setups will not be able to load the environments fast enough to really make the hero feel realistic."
    • "There were 10-20 heroes on the short list at one time or another. MODOK was one of the most fun on that list..."
    • Electro was slated for Advance Pack 2 but ended up being replaced.
    • Probable Cosmo pet coming.
    • Howard the Duck will be a Team-Up in 2015.
    • Hercules, Captain Britain, Falcon, Gladiator, Ka-Zar, Corsair, Silver Samurai, Mystique on long term list.

    Bonus: Doomsaw spoiled there will be another April Fool's "surprise" hero for 2015.

    I'm sorry but I'm imagining his travel power as a rocket strapped to his wheelchair and I find it really amusing.

    Not sure why they would add Xavier because...
    He's fucking dead.xmen12f-3-web.jpg



    Although, by the time they get around to it, he will already have magically been reborn.

    I mean, Jean has been dead for ten years and she's in the game.

    They aren't going to not do an iconic X-Man just cause he's currently dead.

    Accursed Beam got pretty much gutted. And I liked having a build that wasn't "Apply DoTs, punch, repeat".

    Kitty Pryde and X-23 are my only must haves from that lot, so I can thankfully hold off on the pack and pick up the other ones I like for splinters later.

    Some Hawkeye queries.

    Ronin Lunge vs Acrobatic Roll - is the damage and bleed on Ronin Lunge worth giving up the attack/move speed boost on AR? I assume the knockdown and stun effects are largely similar.

    Basic attack - Serrated Arrows (highest damage and +crit) with a single point of Pym Arrows for life/spirit leech, max Pym Arrows and use that despite lower DPS/crit, or max both? Triple Arrow seems like the weakest of the bunch, given that he has slows/freezes and taunts etc. elsewhere.

    Max. All. Passives. Apparently this isn't negotiable, though you can get away with 1 point in Combat Training?

    How do Rocket Arrow, Harpoon Arrow and Three Round Burst compare for single target? It looks like Harpoon and TRB are pretty comparable, with TRB winning out vs bosses/elites by a long shot.

    One point wonders, as I understand it, include Shrieking Arrow (taunt), Medical Arrow (def buff and heal), and Flash Bomb (cc break/stealth).

    For AoE, I'm reading to max Nerve Gas arrow, then either max Freeze Arrow or Exploding Arrow? And if you max Freeze Arrow, just take 1 point in Exploding for the Vulnerability? And that Electric Arrow, while cool and flashy, isn't that useful?

    I've been using Shrieking to gather, Electric to immobilise, then unloading gas and exploding arrows into groups to waveclear at the moment.

    Any help appreciated!

    I don't know why they haven't realized that it would be completely easy to make Quicksilver even without making him passively move at super speed.

    It's just all about animations.

    Hell, even now most heroes can dash around so fast that the server has fits loading the environment.

    Literally the only knowledge of Blade I have comes from the movies, which makes me not very excited for him... but maybe he'll be fun to play, which is ultimately all I care about. Other than him, I'm reasonably excited about most of the heroes on the list for the Advance Pack, but I'm never one to buy stuff like that ahead of time... most times alternate costumes are not very interesting to me, and I'm sure I'll be able to pick up at least a few of those characters with splinters, during BOGO or G-sale events, so I'll just wait and see.

    Only one I'm really interested in there is Iceman and maybe Shadowcat. X-23 sounds cool too though.

    Probably gonna pass on this one and just buy 'em with splinters or their individual packs.

    The big not-so-secret is that nobody gave a shit about Blade before the movies.

    He was barely even a C-lister.

    they're actually in talks with Snipes for him to voice Blade in the game

    dude's been out of work for long enough that he's probably willing to work for whatever they'll pay him

    Don't worry, for the low-low price of the cost of the hero plus another $20 (each) you'll be able to play as a female version of multiple heroes!

    I personally find all of the Female Enhanced Skins really depressing. It is a pretty big cost barrier to players who want female characters. Personally I think female enhanced skins should just be offered as separate heroes at the typical hero prices.

    Super pumped for Kitty, Doom, and She-Hulk.

    And I can find reasons to be excited for the rest.

    Except . . . for Black Cat. Ugh.

    Kitty Pride could be pretty awesome

    Incidentally, does anyone know how much Rogue sells for in the store? I don't think I can look it up outside the game, which isn't currently installed, but I still have some Gs from when I was going to buy Silver Surfer but decided not to. Unsure if it'll be enough, but apparently she's a lot of fun to play, so I might reinstall and give her a try.

    She's a 600 splinter hero, so I THINK that's the 1350 tier of Gs?
