So played two Multiplayer games with a random person each time. Was set on Difficulty 2 and man was this fun and not too hard. I still, can not for the life of me, figure out why when I solo Difficulty 2, it wrecks my shit. But anway my BW is now 20something with a power of 50. Not great but now I’m filling in mastery points and things are opening up!
Well this is cool. The game doesn't load anymore. It just sits on the loading screen forever. =/
What system? On PS4 when I had it, it at least loaded to the main screen where you can select Campaign, etc. If so, try something other than what you normally select, it fixed it for me.

PC. I can start the game, but when I click Campaign it just loads forever. I'll try loading the Avengers Initiative if reinstalling doesn't work.
Edit: well.....neither reinstalling nor loading Avengers Initiative worked. So I guess I'm just done with the game. This is fantastic. Really, really great.

According to the CD post on Reddit:
INFINITE LOADING SCREENS
Presentation: This presents as an infrequent bug where players are unable to progress with the campaign due to an infinite loading screen preventing progress.
Status [9/5]: We are actively working towards a fix.
Potential Workarounds:
Access campaign from the War Table in Avengers Initiative by pressing up on the d-pad, R1 to Reassemble and Preview. Then launch mission with Avengers “A” logo.
When on your platform, before you launch the game, have a friend send you a strike team invite. Once you connect, leave the strike team and you should be able to resume your campaign.
If that doesn’t work, please fill out a ticket with our customer support team so we can work to reproduce and fix it.

I can help you try the invite thing they mention if you like. Just add me on steam and we can coordinate.
I can't do the HARM missions because the counter key does nothing, and I need to counter to progress the mission. Also the inventory doesn't work, and pause doesn't work, so I can't do anything except alt-F4 to get out of it. I found one other person online complaining about that, but no solutions. Anyone know what to do?

I have the EXACT same issue, but only on Thor and Kamala. I was able to complete it on the rest of my characters. I'd LOVE to hear a solution....

This happened to me with Ms. Marvel’s HARM mission specifically. I reported the bug, but came up with a workaround. I had switched the Intrinsic activation from the default press-and-hold to a toggle (because if you’re playing KBAM, why wouldn’t you?). I found that switching Intrinsic activation back to a press-and-hold (before attempting the HARM mission again, of course) allowed me to progress.
…
(All that, being said, I still find large swaths of the game to be largely impossible to enjoy. It’s an odd feeling to be playing a game called Avengers and actively dread being forced to play anyone other than Kamala.)
EDIT: I take it back. Still hate Banner and Stark, but Natasha is so good it’s bananas.

Sounds like you found my issue. I'm also on PC and had swapped it from press-and-hold to toggle. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!
It is kind of odd that for most people the button they use to amplify their damage is also the parry button, I continually forget it even does that when I'm playing hulk or Kamala.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
In happier news - which is probably old to everyone else - but I found some full flight attacks on Iron Man that I didn't know existed. For some reason I never thought to hit the heavy attack button in full flight. Each weapon type has their own attack, though the repulsor one is super lamed compared to how awesome the other two are =p.

Hi Reddit! Quick update. We are working on Patch V1.2.5 for consoles and hope to have it ready in the next several days.
Patch V1.2.5 will resolve a number of play-through stoppers among other fixes. Here is a preview of what to expect:
INFINITE LOADING SCREENS: V1.2.5 will resolve an infrequent bug where players are unable to progress with the campaign due to an infinite loading screen.
FALLING OUT OF WORLD WHEN ENTERING THE AVENGERS INITIATIVE: V1.2.5 Addresses the majority of instances of a partially loaded Helicarrier which resulted in characters infinitely falling out of world when trying to access the Avengers Initiative. There are rare instances where this could happen still, but the patch ensures that loading back into the main menu and then returning to the Avengers Initiative will resolve it. We are still working to eliminate this bug entirely.
UNLOCKED CAMPAIGN OUTFITS REVERTING TO LOCKED STATE: We prevented this from happening in V1.2.5, but the patch does not return outfits for those who have already encountered it – bad save states will be resolved In V1.3.0.
UNLOCKED MARKETPLACE & CHALLENGE CARD OUTFITS REVERTING TO LOCKED STATE: Marketplace and Challenge Card outfits will be restored and no longer become re-locked in the Cosmetics Inventory UI.
The patch after that – V1.3.0 – will be our largest yet and will resolve bad states for bugs fixed in 1.2.5, as well as address hundreds of smaller quality of life issues. We are rigorously testing V1.3.0. to ensure it is ready for deployment, and will update you when we have a timeline to share!
I really like that. That's good developer communication right there. "Here's a small patch that fixes a number of big ticket items, oh and we also have a massive bug fix patch on the way with a lot more fixes."
Hearing that is reassuring and I wish more companies would take the time to offer reassurances like that.
I was thinking about how far I have to go to max Iron Man out and it seems far away, but I was gaining a level per multiplayer level and doubled my power in just a few missions.
Summoning Hulkbuster has been pretty glitchy lately though.
The campaign was worth the purchase. I loved Kamala Khan's story, and she sells the game. The campaign was a lot of fun and I enjoyed all of the missions that were tailored to specific characters. There are still definitely some performance issues and bugs, so it isn't perfect. But I'm happy I bought it and played it for the story and the campaign.
The GaaS stuff on the other hand... that's pretty bad. I'm still playing, but the amount of time per day that I spend saw a dramatic dropoff as soon as I finished the campaign. The multiplayer levels are pretty dull, uninspired, and repetitive. Additionally, while the singleplayer levels were tailored to each character and felt designed to be played by that character, the more open ended MP levels do not. And some characters, such as Cap, who do not have a vertical mobility option really suffer. Getting around a lot of the MP levels as Cap specifically, but other characters too, can be quite a challenge at times. Hulk can be surprisingly difficult to navigate certain areas with.
On top of that, the loot system still doesn't feel good, even after sinking 20 or so hours into the game.
Overall, I'm happy with my purchase of the game, based on the campaign, but the multiplayer post-game stuff doesn't feel like it has much legs or lasting appeal. I doubt I max out any characters at 50. I'm already growing fatigued of the game and my highest character is only level 16. And I seriously doubt I ever max out either of the reps. I'll very likely set this down till new content starts rolling out.
That's kind of how I feel. I'm glad I played the single player, it was decent to good (the last mission was atrocious and failed at what Fall of Cybertron did so well though). Sometimes, sometimes, the combat clicks and it feels really good. Sometimes it doesn't, though.
Now that I beat it, though, I just can't find a reason to log in to grind. I want to, but I boot it up and it's just like....I dunno. I can't find a reason to grind.
There's no PvP (which is a huge reason for me to grind in, say, Destiny or big PC MMOs), and the upcoming raids sound more like strikes to me.
Add to that fact that the editors / trainers are coming out (saw a PS4 one so if you want unlimited units to buy all the exotic costumes in the store, you can now!) and it's just like.....well, I guess I'm done.
I'm sad .

It also doesn't help that matchmaking is still 90% broken. If I could reliably get full mission lobbies with 4 human players, I'd be much more likely to stick with it. But I've still never had a lobby with more than myself and one other person. It doesn't inspire much confidence in the multiplayer aspect of the game when I can't get the multiplayer to actually work. Not with how bad the AI companions are.
I'm playing on a PS4 original and it suffers from some pretty serious frame loss and performance issues. My understanding is that the PS Pro is a little better, but still suffers. Yes, you do get Spider-Man as a PS only perk, plus a few other PS things that are much less valuable than Spider-Man. So if that's a selling point for you, definitely go PS4/PS5.
On the other hand, it seems that PC is buggier. You can get that vibe just reading this very thread. The PA community members who are playing on PC are experiencing a lot more problems than their console brothers. But I think once Crystal Dynamics gets a lot of those issues worked out, PC will end up being the better play experience overall. It will just have a few more growing pains to get there.
PS4 person here, and I’ve had many HARM room issues.
Start and you need to dodge the attack but they guy never attacks - restart challenge
R2 to counter attacks but they never attack - restart challenge
Clear 3 waves - wave 2 turns into an endless respawn but never goes to wave 3 - quit and give up on HARM
I’ve had the above happen to several of my characters so I haven’t finished up the HARM challenges.
The campaign maybe starts and ends strong but is kinda dull in the middle - right around the 2nd outpost being introduced - which is also a terrible thing to ever have to visit if they think the faction rewards are worthwhile to anyone.
warzones/initiative the zones and enemies are already approaching repetitive and dull; already worried how the rest of Caps upgrades are going to feel as the only thing they can really do to scale difficulty is adding more unblockable attacks and more shields to enemies; and the issue of more ranged enemies leading to stagger was already kinda brought up in the beta. Combat just seems to be missing knobs to tune difficulty that don't strip out the combat systems available to you.
Will be very curious to see how soon they compress the leveling curve - the gear abilities don't really matter that much anyway, but they certainly don't matter until you hit a level cap with the rate its replaced
E- worst part is I still want to reach the power cap just to see if it plays any different

Quick question on faction quests. Once their completed do they Auto give you stuff or do you have to click somewhere? I completed a couple and looked at the rewards which were Rep and the purple spiky ball thing, and don’t remember a random spiky ball thing popping up, but can’t be sure. It has a check mark on the box but so does one that I haven’t completed. So color me confused.
Yes it does auto complete, I just wasn’t noticing it.
BOY did I just have fun in a full 4 person group fielded by Quick Match. I was the lowest at 21 on my Black Widow with 50 power. Had a Cap, Iron Man and Thor. I REALLY liked that I think anyone can pick the missions and launch them, so that took away my paralysis of which mission to pick. Either I’m getting “good” or somehow with 4 people and even though the mobs were Yellow to me, I never died once! And, lemme tell you, against a Mech boss, I poppped all 3 of my abilities at one time and that thing melted. With people being Invis, dropping my shock charge thing on it, and going full on Red Black widow crazy the boss dropped in about 5 seconds.

Anyone have a recommendation on PS4 vs PC?
I have a PS4 Pro. I like the forward compatibility with a PS5. I guess it has exclusive content the PC version doesn't have.
But I have a super PC, too.
Part of me just wants it on the PS4, but does it look super awesome on a stellar PC, or what?

He's kind of a superman of the avengers to be honest. His powers are so damn strong "why not just have thor do *blank*"

Fortunately, he got the best iconic missions so at least there's that.
I bypassed that upgrade so many times until I had to use it for a daily challenge. I'll never go back. NEVER. Such a satisfying move.
