Marvel Heroes - Catch All

SpyNavy in game and was I right - did they hit Deadpool's voice and quips out of the park?

Yeah finally tried him last night and he's pretty spectacular. Eyeing the X-Force pack to get him.

I bought the x-force pack, waiting to see how they handle Cable. Deadpool is awesome, he is my favorite so far out of the 6 I have tried. If they do another wipe, I want to try the Hulk and Iron Man next.

Iron Man is a beast.

Honestly everything I've tried (Storm, Scarlet, IM, Deadpool, S-M) has been good except Spidey. He's so weak right now. But he also has placeholder power icons, so I assume work is still being done.

Still it's early. And discussing individual characters/powers is probably skirting the NDA right now.

The game is fun, period. If your favorite hero isn't awesome right now, s/he probably will be later, because MMOs always get balance changes. Nature of the beast, things will change.

I got an email saying there was extra closed beta event tonight. 5pm to 7pm pacific.

And almost an hour after supposedly opening, I still can't log in.

Same here, I was at one point able to log in to the website, but now it won't let me, and trying to reset the password brings up a page that says their servers are under maintenance.

Edit - From their twitter

So, right now (ahem), you may want to hold off attempting to login until things are fixed. We'll keep you posted.
Hey everyone, we're dealing with some high load on #MarvelHeroes.com right now. We're working on it right now.

Yah, was getting unable to reach authenticate, then was getting invalid password and maintenance on their side. Hopefully tomorrow.

Oh well, was out and missed it.

Hmm, was supposed to be one today too, and keep getting failed to reach authentication.

The launcher says they're still having authentication problems, and that they'll update their social media pages and the launcher when they're fixed. They also said they'll be extending the beta period to make up for it.

I think they already extended the beta for the AlienWareArena people through the weekend, since a lot of people weren't' able to play last weekend or the store issues screwed things up Tues/Thurs.

I could still log in the forums a few min ago so I guess I can still play today, whenever it's up.

Twitter said servers are up about 15 min ago.

They are up, but the store is down.

Yep. Had fun with Deadpool still, but I really want to try someone different. Hope they get the store up sometime soon.

Saw Rainsmercy on and sent a tell but didn't get a reply. Looks like we were 6 levels apart though. Not sure how the teaming handles differences like that.

Need to friend more people and try running a mission or two. I'm sure it will make the bosses much easier just having a 2nd person.

At least they have the "solo friendly" feature of bosses not regenerating health when the player dies. So you can throw yourself into the fray repeatedly and still power through if you have to.

Sorry, wasn't paying attention to chat, and was only on a little bit before I had errands to run:(

Looks like another session tonight and G code. Maybe the store is back up?

I'm on as Stengah, but can't figure out how to add friends unless you happen to be on the same map as them.

Store is up and much better now. Except when everyone is trying to buy characters/stuff at the same time.

Looks like they're announcing June 4th release today on twitter and at PAXEast

They did. Also that once the game launches, you won' t be able to buy heroes w/ money. They'll only be unlocked through drops. You can buy something that guarantees a hero drop, but it'll be random, not a specific hero. The founders program is the only way to have a specific hero for launch and that stops when (maybe before) the game launches.

Dammit.

Guess I'll test Colossus tomorrow and decide if I want the X-Force pack then.

I really liked Iron Man what I played of him, but can't justify the $60 for his solo pack.

May 28th here we come.

beta night, however, authentication servers borked again.

Yeah supposed to be up now finally. Maybe some extra time added?

So after 6 levels of Hulk and 7 levels of Ms Marvel (and like 10 of Iron Man before the last wipe) I'm thinking about buying the Avengers pack instead of X-Force.

Colossus just isn't doing it for me. As a tank, yeah I can see the benefit. Maybe he will be the ultimate team character, taunting and taking damage. But I know I like to solo, and I always favored the scrapper over the tank in City of Heroes. HULK SMASH.

Wolvie and Deadpool are fun and I might use the free G you get with a pack to get one of them.

Still a little unsure with all the weekend announcements at PAXE what the heck exactly is going on. But I find myself playing a couple hours every time the beta is open, even deep in the throes of March Madness this weekend. So if I enjoy it so much might as well toss them a few bucks.

Hopefully we'll get enough people around here to form a decent guild or whatever they call it and have enough friends around to team up with.

I did buy the Xforce pack. I have 19 or 20 levels with Deadpool, and just a couple with Wolverine so far. I agree on Colossus, but I wan't to play him some more to decide how much I'll play him. I can't wait till they add Cable. Also since I bought in before they did the Valentines day special with Cyclops/Jean Grey, I'll be getting them for free:) I have a meeting tomorrow night, so won't be able to play then, but they are also having another event on Saturday, but times have not been announced yet.

You'll have to do it during the pre-launch playtime you get for buying a pack, because once June 4th comes around, you won't be able to buy specific characters.

Yeah I saw that Stengah. Really hope they consider changing that plan. Seems like they're trying to make the game "pre-order or bust" and if the game is supposed to be F2P, locking people out of options is certainly not going to entice them to spend more money.

I know Mass Effect 3 got away with a random shop for a year and apparently made some money off of it. But that doesn't seem like the best move to me.

Ordered myself a deadpool's own premium pack. Hopefully they send me a key so i can get up and running for closed beta soon and use my game cash to get the extra toon or 2 i want to start with.

Yay Fuzz! I should be on tonight around 6pm or so central, if you do get your key soon and you are on tonight, send me a message through Steam and we'll group up. I have characters from level 1 to 24 I think.
