Marvel Heroes - Catch All

Access opens up for me today as well. Looking to start up with Captain America here in 20 minutes!

#Fingers Crossed#

Down until at least 5PM EST as of last twitter update. I dont think you can really be behind in this game the way it is designed. Its a single player game with MMO trappings. Ive been bouncing back and forthe between the Ultimate pack heroes so my "Main" Deadpool is just now past the docks and going after the Hood and the other guy.

Yeah I just checked the launcher page before firing up the game on Steam... very disappointing, 4 more hours.

Yikes!

Well the game isn't officially released yet, so hopefully they get everything squared away.

I've been trying to log in to figure out where to download the client, but the login page has been down all day. I assume I can't use my beta install to log in.

Need to remove beta install completely - earlier in the thread someone posted how to get the install client through STEAM - worked perfectly for me.

Also there was apparently a huge patch Fri, and if you werne't playing the Steam version, you need to reinstall the whole game.

Since I lost my hard drive last week that had this game on it anyway, I guess I will just try the Steam version. Never liked bitraider and that ludicrously slow launcher patching anyway. :p

They changed the installer Fri, what we were talking about above...

But if you want the steam version, press the Windows button + R to open the "Run" menu and type:

steam://run/226320/

Enter, and that will start the Steam installer.

Highly recommend this way anyway. Better download speeds, faster patches, no stupid bitraider.

That should help you Prop.

Yeah Steam is way better than the bitraider client and old launcher anyway. Much faster patches, and no mistakes like "reinstalling directx dozens of times" that the launcher had for a while.

Announcement about extra downtime says they are trying to ensure premium pack owners will get all their purchased items when access opens today. So I guess that's a good thing, as I don't want to play a starter hero.

Also maybe some free Gs or something:

The question you all have is, will we get compensation for this extended downtime - the answer is yes. Everyone affected by our delays will receive compensation. We're working out final details and we'll be revealing that later today.

Also patch notes for today are up.

This one caught my eye on Known Issues:

Guild functionality is currently disabled, and War Machine has been temporarily removed from the game. This functionality will be re-enabled as soon as possible.

Didn't know there was guild functionality. Was that just put in on early access? I guess we should start a GWJ group. Whoever is high enough level to do it, whenever it gets put back in...

First I heard of Guild function.

Thanks Spy!

Dammit. I knew it wouldn't be up at 5pm. I went outside at 5:30 and grilled some burgers for dinner. Took my time with the charcoal, sat down to eat and watch some tv. Meandered over to the PC at 10 til 7... figure I'll check the forums... and of course it was delayed again, now until 7pm supposedly.

Really hope it comes up on time, as now I'm actually getting anxious to play.

EDIT: Nope.

The maintenance has been extended once again, and we have no ETA at this point. Please see our forums for any updates.

Well at least we will be getting a boatload of extra currency. Or not...

That would be nice, especially considering I purchased a Premium Pack and had no plans on playing this weekend anyway.

Hmm, I can log into their site with my username/pw, but when I try to log into the game it says invalid login or password. I did purchase a premium pack, but not seeing any news on the site with updates.

Thread here

Still no ETA. Although it mentions testing and stuff. They intend to have it up sometime tonight.

Earlier I got no connection to server or something, so maybe they're getting closer if you actually got a response.

Same. You'd think they'd give some kind of status or heads up.

Server green.

Apparently they fired it up about 20 min ago.

Oh great... some bug with one of the Hulk's powers so they are disabling it, until a later patch.

Kind of who I was planning to play..

EDIT: Never mind, I don't have any heroes.

Apparently it's affecting a ton of people, and it seems a lot are Avengers Pack like me. Supposedly they're working on it...

Did tutorial with Hawkeye, just cause. But this is annoying.

UPDATE 11:17PM: We have isolated the root cause and are preparing scripts to fix the issue; we'll update when we have more info.

Pacific time that is. Maybe... sometime... I'll get my heroes...

EDIT: Supposedly fixed. Logging in to check in a minute....

UPDATE 1:11AM: Scripts are being run right now to fix this issue.

Just a tip if you dont already know it. Level Hank Pym up to level 3 - he is the crafting guy. At Level 3 you can upgrade your blue items to purple (epic) items pretty cheaply. You will probably have a full suit of blues by lvl 8 or so and this is a great way to get improved equipment cheaply.

Also - I hope they institute some sort of teleport system soon, vice having to use the pads. I'd pay real dollars for a permanent personal pad.

Can't you bodyslide or whatever they call it?

I am in as Rainsmercy. I bought the xforce pack and right now just leveling Deadpool.

Last time I played, yes. Bodyslide from wherever you are on a map back to that section of the game's HQ, then hit the bodyslide button again to return to the exact spot you left from. They did remove the visible portal though, so it's less obvious that you can return to exactly where you left off.

Which button is that now that I feel really stupid.

Upper right corner by mini map, looks like a house.

Considering the lack of documentation on the game, you shouldn't feel stupid at all. I played for several days after they removed the visible portal before I realized I could just hit the bodyslide button again to go back to where I left from.

Yep B just became my best friend.

You folks gonna be on Vent or anything while playing?

I'm leveling up in game now but lookin for folks to hang with:)
