Is there a time-table for the Mac Beta release, I know you said there'd be a couple months of internal testing but do you have an idea (that you're willing to share) when it may be?
What about Spider Man movies ? Will you do something when the new movie comes out next summer ? Please, please make The Amazing Spider Man 2 movie costume. That is the only uncertainty that prevents me from spending money in the game right now. Please confirm @Doomsaw
Speaking of new heroes, how is the development of Dr. Strange coming along?
Answer:
It’s coming along well. It is a challenge to decide which powers to include for a guy who can do literally whatever he wants. Ryolnir’s ridiculously detailed knowledge of every storyline is influencing his design
Firstly I'd like to say that I'm thoroughly enjoying (read: addicted to) Marvel Heroes. I'm a Premium Pack owner playing since the closed beta & it's just great to see how the game has grown from strength to strength. I also love how you'll actually care about your loyal players & consider player feedback & interests as well.
Now onto my questions...I was wondering about ETAs for the following:
Scarlet Witch rework
Cable rework
When can we expect Mystique to appear as a villain? (And PLEEAASE tell me there's a chance Mystique fans will get to play her as a hero in the future too? I'd buy her presale pack in a heartbeat! Check out this image: http://i41.tinypic.com/24103nn.jpg - The costume on the left could be for her villainous avatar & the right could be the default costume for her as a hero.)
Upgrade Cosmic recipe?
Safe trading (Also will costumes & hero tokens ever be tradeable when safe trading gets implemented)?
Mac version. Many of my friends want to play Marvel Heroes too but they are eagerly waiting for the Mac version.
Also for how long will the Unbind relic recipe remain cheaper?
Well that's quite many questions I got up there so that's it for me. Looking forward to your reply & thanks for doing this. You could have this like once every month.
After going through all your answers so far I'll just list the questions of mine that haven't been answered yet:

Doomsaw you've offered so many AWESOME answers to short term questions that provide insight into the future as far as the Spring of next year. I want more insight into Gazillions long term goals for MH.
What are Gazillion's long term goals? Where do you see Marvel Heroes 5 and even 10 years from now? Hero creation and new content is totally awesome and clearly I approve but where is all this leading too? Is there a goal that everyone at Gaz is striving towards? You're already succeeding so well at making a game that is based on player feedback but what about Gazillion and Marvel feedback?? Mostly I'm looking for a tasty treat to get me excited for 2018. hahaha
@Doomsaw please tell me I can get nomad thru crafting costumes. I was not able to purchase him in time due to moving and waiting for internet set up. It was a silly costume and I think that's why I want it so much.
Another post brought this back to my mind. Will we ever see the ability for multiple build options? This would be incredibly useful for things like PVP only builds, Boss killing builds and AoE farming builds.

We may have small apps that coordinate with the game in some way to allow you to earn something while you’re in class...
Very interesting, so Marvel Heroes specific apps that can earn in game rewards. Are these potential apps in Gazillion's pipeline or are they being contracted out to other development houses?
You mentioned a while back that you were interested in trying to make Antman playable, but that he would be very hard to do. Are you trying to make him playable.
Is there a time-table for the Mac Beta release, I know you said there'd be a couple months of internal testing but do you have an idea (that you're willing to share) when it may be?
Hey Doom...saw: What plans do you have for guilds in the future? Any new features or guild-specific items? Maybe a crest or ranking system for guilds?
Answer:
Yes, we have pretty big plans for guilds and will start rolling them out in 2014. We are going to upgrade the guild/supergroup system and then introduce rewards for guilds that accomplish things. We do want to keep in mind solo players as well, so they aren’t left out, with every system we add (grouping should never be mandatory, but should be a good/fun option).
I love the rate at which heroes are being introduced! Do you have any "surprise" heroes in store for us? Ones that you may not announce until right before they hit the TC?
Also, are there any plans to add a "villain" story line for playable villains in the future?

Answer:
Yes, we are. I am confident we can do a good job, although it will be weird.

Please tell me that Howard the Duck is one of them! Please?
After all you did Rocket Raccoon - so Howard is a must!
With PvP now out in the wild, are there any plans for Dual-specs?
Even if it's a PVP specific one?
Oh god, I really don't need any more reason to slack off during class... But bring it on

Will there be merchendise that includes some sort of code for bonus in-game items like what Adventurequest does?
Sincerely,

Hawkeye, Thor, Spider-Man, and Loki walk up to you and ask "Will you be my side-kick"... who do you choose?
