left in the dark is actually a perfect description of how the pvp community is treated. 2 years of beta for Fire and Ice mode, 0 communication outside of the what seems to be lucky chance that we do get pvp patch notes.
please give us some glimmer of changes both for how pvp is being looked at and communication with the quickly dwindling pvp community.
pvp desperately needs a pvp training room, communication from the devs, and if we have to keep the current map and queuing system... some form of proper matchmaking.
What's the reason beyond the whole no AVP3? AVP3 is going to be three packs instead of one idea? Personally I don't know if I'll keep playing if there isn't an AVP3. It's too good a deal to not have in place and I don't want to feel like I'm being nickel and dimed.
What's the reasoning behind having two votes but having the same characters be on the vote? Seems kind of pointless to do that when those characters already lost.
Why didn't you just make Magick the twelfth character for the AVP2 and have the first vote be the first character that would come out from AVP3?
yes.
When it's ready. (trollface)
No, but really. When we feel that hero damage and survivability is closer. We're definitely much much closer than we were before. We know it's not going to be perfect, but we are getting to a point where it makes sense to release a new piece of very difficult group content without having to worry about 50% or more of the roster.
Dr Ock could use a check up on his Unique being dropable, and some bosses at Cosmic Midtown not dropping loot like Lizard.
So my question is this:
As more and more heroes have started to come to the game, some people have complained about how some heroes feel very similar to other heroes in terms of things such as playstyle, powers, design, etc. Moving forward is there a plan to combat such issues? i.e. community feedback, hero design forums, polls, etc.
Time. I would love to have unique squirrels for each but sometimes we just can't fit in the work. That being said, if there is a Squirrel that comes along that cant be ignored we will do our best to make time for it.
1) Danger Room comes before 2016. Red Raid if we feel heroes are ready, Cosmic Ultron same. Story chapter, yes, it will be coming with 2016 release!
2) If it suits them, definitely. But if they already have another form of it, like Colossus does, unlikely.
3) I'll ask. Glad you're enjoying him!
Also look forward to you guys pulling off the internal testing of customising how our rosters look, be nice if can have all the heros wearing what we want them to and able to reorder them with our favorites at top or jsut in general more flexability, maybe a small thing as for game play goes but for QoL its a nice one. Used to it in COH could completely arrange your char select as you liked
It might also make sense from a financial standpoint given that you have the financial metrics to support the decision. However, since the AP was offered and then put back up for purchase a few different times over the course of a few months last Fall/Winter, it would seem that the large transactions are still in Gaz's best interest.
My question would be: Would you consider an AP with a handful of "set in stone" heroes that have already been confirmed, with the remainder being mystery heroes? This might not be an appealing option for a large number of players. However, for those who do enjoy the APs not only for the value they offer (which gives us additional funds for more purchases over the course of the year), it might be a way to keep the AP model as a viable alternative to 3 or 4 "wave packs" as we see throughout the year.
The "wave packs" make sense as well as you're getting a better staggered revenue stream over the course of a year. Moving to that model alone might leave many in the community avoiding them depending on the strength / appeal of the multi-hero packs. These consumers would not be the ones who would normally just pull the trigger on an AP based on 2-3 heroes alone, or just buying it for the sake of completionism.
The big consideration would be what bonuses could be offered to make a new AP more appealing for those who are wary of the "mystery hero" idea and might find paying for unknowns offputting (to say the least). Many might find the idea of ordering a pack with only half (or so) of the roster known as a no-go, but there are many among the community who like having a full roster already paid for and ready for delivery.
The discount is a huge plus as well, as I mentioned. AP2 allowed me to spend a lot more money on things I wouldn't have normally been able to purchase if heroes were only available in the "wave packs." I would like to continue to support the game as much as I can, and the AP model allows that flexibility in my annual entertainment budget. This position is not universal (like every other idea), but I was hoping to hear your thoughts further detailed after the speculation on the forums went batty.
Thanks for your time in doing this AMA either way.
How about NC changes? I know for a fact u guys said he's not ignored, but it really looks like it either way.
So, how about set effects for uniques? it was spoiled before so...
Was the last poll on the new hero for next year catered for people outside MH?
I believe WM outshines IM in the long run. care to comment on that?
About the supposed Magneto visual changes. havent heard a word since. u know, the change for blunt instrument and such.
That's all for now. thank you.
Very much appreciate the work on Gambit.
One outstanding issue for ranged builds...his sig (52) and DMH have a targeting issue...as primarily boss killer skills, they don't have a pierce or lock as so many other heroes do with their single target skills...IM, Jean, Capt Marvel, etc., etc. So any trash mob between you and the boss eats the damage...in maps with a lot of trash (limbo in mystic mayhem, for example) hitting the boss can be next to impossible...could you please add a pierce to these skills...the addition of the exploding mechanics only works, kind of, if the trash is on top of the boss...if the trash is closer to you, you still aren't damaging the boss....please bring these boss killer skills in line with others...and an invuln on his 4 second sig channel (like WM has) would be nice, too :P. Thanks.
1. Since Blade is october hero,we still have november and decembe,r but 3 more heroes.Blackcat is december,does this mean we can expect Magik and Iron Fist both in november or maybe 2 heroes in december?(I hope Magik is november
2.Very important,Dazzler ,anything about her. She is rly wanted hero so are there any chances for Dazzler to be playable in 2016?
3.Jubilee,i would like to have her playable, maybe 2016 or maybe 2017?(2016 would be nice)
But i need her as team up as sooner as possible.Can you tell me is there going to be Jubilee team up in 2016 or maybe surprise for this christmas
4.And i have to ask is there going to be visual update for those 90's X-men costumes?
(I would like to know bout 90's Jean is it in work alredy coz we saw her other costumes got visual update and what about others,cant wait for those big haircuts on Rogue and Storm )
When can we Expect the new Spider-Gwen power Icons?
Id like the danger room to be like Holo sim were, if i want i can have a solo option untill i fail.
When will Captain Marvel get a proper QoL review? Within 6 months or much,much later? Her last small QoL put her on a good place but the new recent QoL changes put a lot of heroes way ahead of the curve. Some of her powers are still working on outdated tech.
When will Psylocke get a QoL? Within 6 months or later? Same case with Carol that she is still doing okay but most of her powers are very dated especially her Range build and her Uniques needs some minor Tweaking to put her on par with the later heroes.
Only few people remember it but those Muspelheim Uniques that was teased at the beginning of these year, The Fire Giant Greaves and the like, will those ever going to be released or are they permanently scrapped?
Will Iron Man ever get a proper Melee Build that actually lets me tank (to some extent) end-game content while doing great DPS? Hulkbuster demands punching, not pewpew.
We are talking about that, yes. Not sure what the scope is yet but people really liked the winter scene so we definitely want to continue doing things along that line. There might be a little something like that this coming winter...
2) Yes there will be. There is a new system that we were planning to launch with Danger Room, but we decided to hold it back so that we could expand on it even more. This system will allow you to customize your Uniques similar to StarkTech with Artifacts, but will have multiple slots and will have more than just +1 to a power. Certain types of uniques will be able to use different types of enhancements, for instance, Any Hero Uniques have more slots than Hero Specific Uniques so that you can take a favorite Any Hero Unique and add ranks to your best skills. There's more to the system than just power ranks, but that's an aspect I really like about it since it lets me have a use for all of those Any Hero Uniques in my S.T.A.S.H. More to come!
3) If Danger Room doesn't scratch that itch, give us feedback once it's on TC to help us make it scratch that itch for you.
4) We're investigating a new PVP mode with some fancy new tech that we could leverage to tie back into the original PVP mode. The design is pending estimation and approval. I'd like to start a poll on the forums soon about what people want for the future of PVP, as I don't know that the current form will ever be as fun as we want it to be.
5) Reducing tiers is a go. Also looking at ways to just make overall much less clicking.
