I pop up rarely. Emphasis on rarely.

I haven't really played since I beat the story. I see they're adding a bunch of new heroes in the future.

Silver Shocker · December 18, 2013, 07:37:03 AM

I played through the story a while back too. I played the Asgard expansion but would have liked it to be longer. Supposedly there's more content coming, so if and when it does I'll go back and play that.

My starter character is Hawkeye; he's fun to play due to his emphasis on ranged attacks. I did unlock Spidey through the random character unlock method and am close to unlocking another character that way, so I wouldn't be opposed to a group game in the future since it'll give me a chance to level him up and try out the different attacks. I really wanted to play as Deadpool. Hopefully I'll get my chance. There have been a number of new characters since I started so there's a few others I'd enjoy getting.

Game's alright. Very much Ultimate Alliance 3.0 on the cheap. Cutscenes are all C-D level comic art (one of the artists I instantly recognized as Ron Lim, who I like), voice acting's a mixed bag (if I recall there's a number of villains used as bosses whose voices I thought were all wrong, such as Shocker), and the action's a little too chaotic and repetitive to be truly addicting. But not a bad way to spend a few hours for free.

Hey thanks for the codes, Ares. There were a bunch I hadn't punched in yet. Yeah, the game's been giving away a lot of stuff lately.

catwhowalksbyhimself · April 27, 2014, 12:15:42 PM

They're doing some kind of 10 month anniversary thing, so lots of giveways, in game events, and such.

Anyhow, I just reinstalled and am playing again, so feel free to look for me. I think I even have sg invite powers, so let me know if you want in.

Ares_God_of_War · June 01, 2014, 11:16:09 PM

I think on the 4th the new anniversary event starts and they are giving away a bunch of stuff including a free Stash space (inventory) So make sure to log in for that.

catwhowalksbyhimself · June 02, 2014, 12:19:12 AM

I could definitely use more stash space, that is for sure. I'm too cheap to buy it and manage my inventory well enough to make it worth (plus you can use the team up inventory to store things even if you have no team ups) but would welcome a free stash slot.

Silver Shocker · June 02, 2014, 09:14:07 AM

There's also a new teaser out promoting "Marvel Heroes 2015" coming out in "June" featuring Surtur (who was set to appear in the next major story update). There's also recently been updates that new mini-missions you can play. I haven't played them yet though. Looking forward to the Surtur update when that comes out.

catwhowalksbyhimself · June 02, 2014, 08:51:24 PM

The one shot is quite good and is a good way to provide content without relying solely on going against ever more cosmic powered super entities.

Silver Shocker · June 06, 2014, 08:52:40 PM

So Marvel Heroes just did a significant update (now called "Marvel Heroes 2015", as mentioned above). Theo ther day there was MASSIVE giveaway of items as part of the game's anniversary (some of which were given away by SHIELD Agent Stan Lee!) including almost certainly the most valuable giveaway, a new item storage (or "S.T.A.S.H.") unit (which by this point, after the MANY items I've gotten through giveaways, I desperately needed). You need to be level 30 + to get the items from Stan though IIRC. You should try logging in, you might still be able to get them.

Which brings me to the next thing I have to been up: trying to log in. Since the new update the game's had a LOT of glitches and/or problems and the servers have been done a few times, presumably while they work out the kinks. Today I had THREE different problems in a half-hour span alone (difficulty downloading the newest update, the screen turning completely black anytime I clicked the mouse, and the servers being down). Hopefully things will smooth out in time.

catwhowalksbyhimself · June 06, 2014, 09:28:27 PM

I have experienced none of these problems, fortunately.

Also, I'm pretty sure Stan will still be around a few more days. You should have known he'd get a cameo in there somewhere.

As for that stash tab, you're going to need to it hold all the free loot you get. Seriously, I have less storage space now than I did before.

There's supposed to be more suprises coming out.

The account wide xp/skill system is interesting. Omega system, I think. Don't have many points yet, but you get some free from the giveaways.

If you've been away a while, check it out. The game's been getting better as it goes along. Also give me a should if you want me to add you to the SG.

detourne_me · August 19, 2014, 09:42:34 AM

Bump,
Started checking out the game again. Should I join the supergroup?

I was getting bored with storm and scarlet witch (had those two since the beta) plus I had no idea how to play the game anymore!
So I put down ten bucks so I could play as star lord with a Groot sidekick. It's pretty fun now.

Johnny Patches · August 19, 2014, 04:01:38 PM

Stopman · June 14, 2017, 01:30:35 PM

I finally went berserk and installed Windows 7, mainly so I can play Marvel Heroes 2016. I'm Umbrallia in-game.

catwhowalksbyhimself · June 14, 2017, 08:26:22 PM

I haven't played it in quite some time, but it is a seriously cool game.

Glitch Girl · November 15, 2017, 06:29:01 PM

Bad news guys: Disney has officially axed the title

Silver Shocker · November 16, 2017, 02:14:13 AM

Yep, I just saw that. Disappointing news, but not the most surprisingly thing. That's the sad reality of online-only games. You can go back and X-Men Legends or Marvel Ultimate Alliance forever, but if they go online-only for a game like this, it can't be preserved.

To my knowledge, they haven't announced when the game will be shutting down yet. We'll have to stay tuned.

I haven't really done much in the game in a while, so I have to see about playing some more of it in the future.

UPDATE: According to the official Twitter account and the front page of the official site, the servers will stay up until Dec. 31, and apparently sometime soon the game will be "completely free" until then. I'm not sure what that means but we might be able to get more heroes we had been saving up on in-game currency for.

Silver Shocker · November 23, 2017, 06:12:01 AM

Heads up everyone, according to several sources, the shutdown date has been moved to Nov. 24, aka tomorrow.

That was a shock, when I read that I was watching a show I recorded, and immediately shut it off to go try out some new Heroes. If you want to go in to do that or anything else, then this is your last chance to do so.

catwhowalksbyhimself · November 23, 2017, 06:35:54 PM

Yea, that was a jerk move. Apparently it came down from Marvel. Not only is the game being shut down with almost no notice, but all Gazillion employees have been laid off, with no notice or severance. If they had gone ahead with the December shutdown I would have considered it one of those things that happens, but this kind of move is just bad behavior.
