Do you get bored playing Diablo/Diablo like games?
That is the greatest thing ever!
I caved in and bought the Ultimate Pack!
Yeah I know. £130 for a game thats not even fully released yet, just to get all characters and costumes at release and a few xp perks. I must be crazy...
Weirdly enough that might actually detract from the value the game gives you. A free 2 play player, or someone who spent very little (to maybe acquire their favorite hero quickly, or a costume) will have possibly thousands of hours of playtime ahead of them to naturally unlock all heroes and costumes. You now own them all and may well stop playing after maxing out two or so of your favorite heroes.
I hope you don't dude but it's a possibility. In order to get that £130 worth from M.A you're probably going to have to take 90% of the characters to the end game.
When I saw it on Google I was like
haha. It must be a pretty common occurrence, which is pretty weird as they don't look alike at all!wont be able to keep playing today - but I will probably buy something ... 1 toon or a 4 pack ...
its a rough game - meaning lots of things missing and not exactly intuitive - but is still quite fun and I like the skill trees.
main issue is the classes - theres what 27? ... would imagine quite hard to balance all of them. As seen on the forums lots of people play certain classes or rate them very high and even say they are OP ... hulk thor ... while some others are less so ...
if they do a bit more balancing Ill be quite happy ...
I played captain America to 17 - and while decent; I could tell he needed a bit more compared to some other classes I seen playing.

No not really tbh I went in playing this game not realising what style it was and my post was quick off the mark I have enjoyed the beta but I won't be putting in any money to the game I think for what u get its horrendosly expensive,the game feels fairly basic but I enjoy it so will probably play it for awhile then I will realise its a grind fest unless I pay and will probably stop lol.

Just got an email saying they're adding end-game instances and stuff, which should be nice.
Soldato
Played it a bit & it felt a bit cheap, (like a cryptic mmo) - also a bit too basic for my liking.
Soldato
Yeah got the same this morning.
Going to be interesting to see what longevity this game has.
I am sure I will get my £40's worth though
sad that I don't have any video games to keep me entertained in my free time ... all boring to me ... so may end up buying access to the beta and game here ...
rome tw2 seems so far off - Id fork down dough in an instant for a chance to help test tw2 that is ...
I'm not going to hammer this, I'm too addicted to LoL but it makes a nice change, a hour here and there with a few friends, having a laugh.
I'll reach end game and there is a few characters I want to try/play so it will keep me busy for a while I think

Its going to be interesting.

I'm chuckling at all the crybabies on the official forums, so so SO many entitled gamers these days.
what is or will be in the new patch any notes or details?
curious about balance issues or what not ...

It's videos about Endgame, Ultimate Powers, and Cable playable character. He says during it the notes will go up on the forums. I am not sure if they are there as I don't venture that far, the steam forums are bad enough
Associate
yeah the notes are there, there are balance changes but they're not detailed, added some end game group and solo instances, new costumes and a tabbed stash amongst various other changes. not tried it yet.

When your team’s ‘Defender’ is under attack, a message will appear.
Faction missions are now limited so you can only swap factions once an hour.

We have made major balance and tuning on Mobs, Bosses, and Heroes. (More details later!)
The level cap has been raised to 60!

When switching to another character, their health will be based on the amount of time this character has been inactive.
