Whoah thats a patch.
I will take that as no then has no one else has had this problem then or?
I deleted the whole game folder in steam and steam will not let me re download it now saying its released in a week blah blah time can u download it from the marvel site and link it to steam or? Will there be any benefit of playing it through steam achievements and so on?
I bought the cap America pack ... to be honest the game is so-so; but Ive really wanted to play a superhero game and it was a decent diablo type so thought ya I want to play it more (after playing the beta) ...
bought the CA pack because I get to play beta and well want to play him and some other toons ...
about the game - to be honest game still seems in beta (fair amount of bugs and balance issues) - if they release still june 4th Id be quite surprised ...
zone issues and disconnects (are quite common) - balance between the classes is also an issue.
perhaps they can get away with certain balance issues but all the DCs that everyone gets is something that a game company shouldn't have right at release.
Bad reviews and people wont buy it ...
but who knows ... maybe they will fix as they go along (long beta as you pay like some games) - ... don't really matter to me because atm its the funnest game Ive played.

Another big patch last night.
Glad they made some changes to the Kingpin, Bullseye and Elektra battle. It was such a hard fight!!
Agreed, I kept having to re-zone and heal during this fight, it was much hard than any of the other boss fights
Weird, I've never had any disconnects. /luckysod
huh? no DCs? - chap 5 and 6 have had many - also been in groups where we all get dced etc ...
you hear about it in the random chats too (white zone chats) - not sure maybe you are lucky
didn't have much time to mess around last nite - but tried my different toons that I have been playing again ... all seemed quite good - I enjoy it when its hard to pick a class to play. I just don't want their to be constant balancing where 1 class is really strong and then they nerf it later etc ...
I got a closed beta key while I was away on holiday. Redeemed it and launched the beta client, but now its doing another big installation. "Pre-install"?
Does this mean I'll be able to use this version once the final game goes live or is it just downloading the beta again for some reason? Theres probably been an update since I've been away for the last 10 days...
