Anyone know when the sale ends? I might not be able to get any Gs until Monday, but the wording makes it sound like the sale ends at 12:00 AM on Monday and not until 12:00 AM on Tuesday (i.e. all of Cyber Monday)
The sale is supposed to run through all of Monday and end sometime Tuesday morning. However, Brevik said on stream last night that they may just run the sale til patch day (Thursday) due to a number of people having issues buying stuff through Steam.
I just tried Industry City for the first time, and was getting crazy bad lag. Like, I'd go to the area on the map where the boss was marked, and wait 2-5 seconds before any enemies were on screen.
Is this usual? Is there something about this map that makes the lag worse, or did I just get unlucky?

It was much worse before they made some tweaks to it. A New Zealander in chat on Brevik stream was asking about possible aussie servers tonight and Brevik said (again) they have new tech to reduce lag ready to go in game soon.
Okay, having not really played in a year or so and having put in a dozen hours or so over the long weekend: wow! Lots of changes.
I fired up Storm whom I had at level twenty-something and was surprised that half her (redundant variations on) powers had evaporated. Everything about her powers seems much more logical and sensible now. I don't have three different versions of the same lightning power!
Her arc aura is great! I like how she floats around now instead of walking. Add in glowing blue eyes and objects around her randomly exploding and I'm pleased. She's just like this ... Human storm cloud bobbing around destroying things. I mostly just slapped down an electrical AOE and a cold AOE and then chain Lightninged everything on the screen into oblivion. Got her to the mid-30s and fought Dr. Doom.
I bought Spider-man, Psylocke, and Ms. Marvel. For freebies with BOGO I got Colossus and Silver Surfer twice.
I also had to get spider-man's black costume because it rules and Psylocke's x-force costume because I can't handle the 90s Jim lee one with her butt hanging out.
The last time I was on I got nightcrawler and used him for an hour or two so I tried him out some more this go-round. Having him, Betsy, and spiderman is probably redundant but oh well. I've mostly only used Iron-Man (whom I haven't even respecced yet) and Storm before so the idea of tricksy melee seemed fun.
I barely used spider-man but I like how he seems focused around mobility and dodge. Nightcrawler's chaotic teleporting around and stealth are cool but I didn't feel like I was really getting in the groove of using him. I ended up using Betsy the most and bought Magik as a team up for her so that I could do a Two Sword Ladies team.
She seems a lot like spider-man actually -- AOE to weaken or create vulnerability, then melee or pew pew. I have mostly set her up for ninja melee so far and don't really use her dash or ranged attacks. So by the end of last night I was experimenting with the basic pink AOE, falling leaf into range, and then regular melee or the continuous spirit draining cooler DPS melee. It seemed to work out so far.
You're playing at a good time. The first time you level someone to 60 is the worst, but you're playing when there's a huge XP buff going on, so it's much faster.
Ok i get thats it not but damn my stash and inventory suffer particularly as I get a hero closer to 60 and i dont want to deal with more sub 60 uniques.
That said the 500k credit chests stacks over 60..... who... who would ever have that many

So I haven't played in a couple months. For about a month or two I consistently logged in each day for log in stuff but just let it pile up. Before I did that my inventory/stashes were all clogged up already.
I've been eyeing coming back but knowing that is sitting there waiting for me hasn't helped anything.
I just spent the 20 minutes to dump literally every item in my storage that wasn't level 60. (Excluding artifacts, obviously.)
Leveling is too easy these days anyway, but I just never got over the old habit of keeping stuff. Freed up about 2 1/2 tabs. Mhmm.
Also Gambit is pretty strong lately, and is getting pretty reasonably buffed with the tag update.
Star Lord is kind of fun. Though he's weaker then Gambit, uses pretty much the same gear setup and takes far more button mashing so I don't know if I'll actually try to gear him out when I can just... play Gambit.

You'll want to get Star-Lord to 50 anyway for his synergies, especially if you favor ranged characters.
Magneto is Thursday or Friday, X-23 a week or two later, then Venom during the week of Christmas.
Marvel is having another sale on their Unlimited app for mobile/tablets/PC, 75 cents for first month: http://marvel.com/cyberweek
It's $10/month or $70 for a year sub and an excellent way to catch up on series if you have been out of comics awhile (or have never read them). I've had a year sub and have read hundreds of comics. The app has improved greatly, although still check comments on appropriate app store to see if it runs well on your preferred device.
Just to confirm, the current plan is for us to patch at Wednesday 11PM PST (the same build that would normally go live at 6AM Thursday, just 7 hours earlier).
Xarex (Brevik) will be bringing Marvel Heroes to a convention in Brazil and we need to have the build up as early as possible to welcome our new guests!

Oh wow, I did not realize they would even stack. Thanks, that'll help me free up a few spots.
Just play through the story mode (ends around level 25). Donate all unused stuff to crafter and enchanter until you get them to max level 20. First time through story mode gives you some bonus splinters (in game currency used to buy heroes, team-ups) and you should have enough to get a random hero box or a 200 splinter hero. If you like the game enough to keep playing just post or PM your in game name and I'll shoot you guild invite.
The Marvel Heroes 2015 servers will be coming down at 11PM PST for Game Update 1.27 featuring Magneto and the Mutation Omega Tab!
So yeah, I wish I had seen this before I used a Guardians boost and only got just under 2 hours out of it.
Your buffs don't wear off when you're not playing.
And dang, a 5Gb update, this is taking a while.
I know, I just wanted to use it while there was a big serverside buff. I save my boosts for the serverside events so they get huge. Now that boost will not be anywhere near as effective.

haymaker was nerfed by about 15% so far.
hahah ok Im glad I wasnt the only one thinking this. Its the only way to find anything on the mobile app
Is there a list of the actual changes per power?
You'd probably have to browse the hero sub-forums to see the per-power numbers.
TC was taken down til late Monday/Tuesday and the numbers will be adjusted before Thursday's patch so these are not final:

It's not like it, or Carol in general, was OP.

well instead of having 1 good power she will have a bunch of meh powers and no one will ever have to play her again.

its a ploy to drive stash sales.

So when is Magneto hitting?

I entered all the Promo Codes. Is there anything else I should do at the start, other than just click and level?
Not really.
My body is ready.
Nobody has to play her now, we choose to.
Man, that voice just sounds spot on for Magneto. On a related note, I am so glad this is a thing:
