I'm really ecstatic about the release of Gambit and Loki (although looks like I'm going to have to earn both of them, ha). I was wondering if you guys are planning to ever release Kid Loki, Teen Loki, and Seige Loki costumes? And if you guys have any costumes planned for Gambit besides his modern and classic ones?
Also will Rogue ever be available as an independent playable character?
I know it's a lot of questions, but even an answer to one of them would make me a supremely happy camper
Question: With raids currently being worked on for release, my question is that without the holy trinity class structure what steps are being taken to make raids into something other than a giant dps race. Additionally, how many players can take part in a raid considering standard group size is 5?
Answer: Hi Coldbayne. We have a bunch of very high-level raid experience from various games as well as a lot of ARPG experience, so we have spent a lot of time working on what would the perfect hybrid type of raid be.
The goals of raids will be:
- Make raids fun.
- Make raids extremely challenging.
- Provide good rewards for raids, but don’t make raids completely mandatory. Solo players will still have access to the best gear through alternate means so nobody feels left out.
We know that we do not want to ever require any type of specific “classes” in raids, for the obvious reason of player freedom. A group of 10 Spider-Man should be able to complete a raid as well as a group of 10 Gambits, Nightcrawlers or Deadpools. Rocket Raccoon brings his own mini-party, so 10 Raccoon should do very well (that would be so fun).
We do have some heroes with “group healing” abilities, such as Iron Man and Storm - and every hero has at least one valuable group buff / debuff (especially once everyone has their full design review). None of the will be mandatory and may not even be the most efficient, but players can decide what combinations will work best. I’m sure there will be a ton of theorycrafting and actual testing to determine solid group compositions.
Raids will be 10 players. It will be extremely simple to turn your party into a raid party with a click of the user interface. You can bring your own raid or fill in with people using the new queue system (which is currently in the final testing stages with the X-Defense survival mode and the first PVP mode which is in public beta testing).
Raids will be challenging, but not incredibly long. Think along the lines of Onyxia or the final boss of any of the best WOW dungeons. A distinct encounter will include some minor “warm-up” encounters to get the raid working together and them quickly start the main event.
We have many cool mechanics to add to raids that will work great in Marvel Heroes, many of the mechanics are on existing enemies in some ways and some are original, but we can combine them and change that scale of them to make for some very fun and interactive fights.
How did you decide on adding loki to marvel heroes as the first villan. Also do you plan on adding heroes according to marvel movies that are coming out soon and heroes that are in those movies like Falcon and Winter Soilder. With PvP do you plan on adding different modes. With a lot of the new heroes soon to be released beging part of other groups then the avengers and xmen do you plan on adding more team insignias?
I was just wondering what you have planned for achievements? will there be rewards for them, such as odin marks or certain items? Also, when will a trade system be added to the game?
Was wondering how you plan to straighten pvp out when you go throwing nerfbats around and buffing others at the same time. Seen many games do this and its always been a bad tactic.
Of the upcoming heroes which are you, personally, looking forward to the most?
Can you give us any more about the upcoming raids? My supergroup has been chafing for some large-scale group content, and I can't wait to get into it.
Who is the voice actress for the Kate Bishop costume is going to be? And do other heroes have unique voice lines for her. Does Cap get all salty?
Have you guys made a decision on how to do heroes that are mostly identical to existing heroes with just one or two major differences like Kaine/Scarlet Spider or Miles Morales? With your recent costumes on Beast and X-23 being cheaper heroes, can we expect either Miles or Kaine to show up eventually as cheaper versions of Spider-Man?
I'm really ecstatic about the release of Gambit and Loki (although looks like I'm going to have to earn both of them, ha). I was wondering if you guys are planning to ever release Kid Loki, Teen Loki, and Seige Loki costumes?

Answer: We are working on 1-2 more Loki costumes, but it won’t be until at least January. I’m not sure what the next one will be, but I’m sure she will be awesome.
We are determining which costume to do for Gambit next, it may not be for awhile. We may do a Valentine, but we need to work on our pectoral design and modeling. We are also considering his yellow one, if we can make it look awesome. I bet we could.
Rogue will absolutely be playable in the future. I am very excited about designing this her powers.
Question: Are there any updates about the upcoming Mac version?
Answer: The Mac version is well under way and will hopefully be released in on of the next few large patches. The game enginer itself is extremely Mac friendly, so it’s just a matter of a few more engineering tasks to allow our costum systems to interact with 100% effectiveness on Mac platforms. It’s a high priority and is something David Brevik is personally dedicated to.

Will we have some kind of instanced bases where we can invite friends and guildmates?

Doomsaw,
Do you know of any heroes (I know you can't tell us who they are) that we might be surprised coming down the pipe in the next year+?
Any future plans on uniques with set bonuses or possibly a vendor with raid tier gear for purchase?
Doomsaw,
When will we see the new Chat UI ?
What are your plans to prevent gold-farmers from making a profit from the game?
Sincerely,
Zisthon

Hey Doomsaw!
I was just wondering what you have planned for achievements? will there be rewards for them, such as odin marks or certain items? Also, when will a trade system be added to the game?
@Doomsaw
Any chance Loki can get a "polymorph" type power? . Maybe turn spider-man into Spider-Ham in PvP?
Doomsaw,
Are there plans to release costume giveaways from partner sites (Iron-man Heartbreaker) for other heroes in the future?
doom saw what can we expect of gambit ?
is he op ?
when will the new ES prices be implemented ? in this new patch or next ?
X-DEFENCE is awesome but due to its beta version its lagging so when can we get a stable version?
lastly what is the probabiltity of random box ? how is the hero decided? which one will be given
fast way to gain odin marks other than rer-roll
thx for being patience and humbly listening to are questions
GOD BLESS

2. What about marvel heroes do you think needs to be improved/could be done better?
3. What other games if any do you enjoy besides marvel heroes of course ?
thanks
