can we please have a way to transfer runewords? i kind of regret putting certain runewords on damage uru instead of defense ones lol. i think it fulfills the same purpose as unbinding uru forged

Also, it may solve the issue of unbinding causing uru to be trade-able , transferring still doesn't allow uru to be traded

This is for the sake of curiosity, but it does have some bearing on who I play in the near future.

With the Big Update coming, are players trying to play all their heroes before the switch is thrown? Or are people leaving some unplayed so that they can experience those heroes for the first time after the Update?

I have several heroes whom I have not played: Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, Taskmaster, and Nova. I'm itching to play some of them, but a part of me is saying, "Wait until the Update ... for now, play the heroes you are used to."

Just curious ...

Just for a fun discussion.
The majority of costumes in this game are hella ugly compared to the new ones. Which costumes do you guys personally think need some TLC before others?

I'll post mine.

The most Iconic marvel character has the ugliest costume in the game. The webs are too thick and the eyes look bad. The lack of details also put the nail in the coffin (why is his head a perfect oval?)

This costume does the comic costume no justice at all, he looks like a cheap action figure of hawkeye. If this costume looked good i'd probably play hawkeye more.

It kinda bothers me that widow's avengers outfit wasn't updated before her classic outfit. It looks just as bad as the classic used to. Now i could get over that if this was a cheap outfit to buy from the store, but nope this one comes with the character. Making the visual update kinda pointless because this is the widow most players will use. (You could say the same thing for Cyclops' VU but tbh the astonishing outfit doesn't look absolutely horrible in-game IMO).

This costume doesn't look as good as it should imo. The whole suit (even the coat) has a rubbery texture over it and the hair is way too short. In the comics Gambit has longer hair (kinda like the wiccan costume for SW). Also the colors are all off and it's missing a lot of details that would be true to the costume from the comics. What bothers me is that this costume looks nothing like the picture they based it off of, which actually looks really good.

This costume could look so much better, it's kinda an ugly costume to begin with but the blockiness of it all makes it worse. If the hair was made to look better, the face made to look less like a barbie doll and some new textures were slapped on the costume this would look way better. Scarlet witch is a major character in the MCU now so I think she should be one of the first to get an update.

As it been said if we will automatically get the default costume even if it is no longer in our inventory. I have a couple of heroes I blendered the default and I hope I dont lose the costume because of that.

@Asros was jw if that TC patch was still gona hit :^)

People keep talking about the bug update. Does that mean we're getting Annihilus next year?

Initially it was just a SG thing but then I thought just because you are in the church doesn't mean that there aren't other people you enjoy playing with.

Therefore we are opening it up to everyone. That way each member can play with whoever they want.

Starting January 9th until January 16th get any 5 yahoos you want. Screen cap or video to prove your highest wave of X-defense. In case of a tie the same teams will run again to determine an ultimate winner.

Team winners will receive a costume of their choice that is currently available in store.

Rules.
lvl60 start
List your team members and preferred costume if you win.
Bask in the warm embrace of the CoK

videos or screens posted after the 16th will be ignored. I go by my timeline in the eastern time zone. So account for that.

Rule Amendment

@Groozycool got me thinking about all youse shady sumbeeches

No multiple team entries. I don't care how many times you try but no submitting with more than one team.
@alunguy mentioned it so I might as well cover it. Don't be a cack and submit "proof" of yourself hitting wave 120 from 2 years ago. PLease

@BohemianRhapsody clearly has the lead good luck topping that

X-Men represent

hi guys,

the last 2 hours I've been cleaning out all my stash tabs (turning uniques into credit chests etc etc) ... and now i am at my final 4 stash tabs.. those 4 contain the rare uniques (coat of skull, skrull hammer/uniform, batrocs etc)..

is there any need for them now (upcoming big update) or can i just turn them into credit chests ?

i know new items are in sight, but i just want to make sure i am not getting rid of something i might still need.

thanks!

The people of Say Wut? have decided to get together to come up with a Giveaway. Being Wutters, things quickly took a turn for the...

Apparently, the only Rule everyone could agree on is that your post has to include "@lesotheron". Wait, that can't be right, can it?

Fine, but I'm not the only target here. To enter the Giveaway, your post has to include the name of 5 ADDITIONAL Wutters, chosen from any of the 12 (or are we up to 13) Say Wut? Threads.

Here's where things get interesting...

We don't just want the same 5 names posted over and over, so we'll put a limit of 20 of each name. Once a name has been tagged 20 times, it no longer qualifies, so you'll have to find a new Wutter to annoy.

As always, for anyone who says that they're "Not Entering":

Oh wait, we never discussed Wut? we're giving away (besides getting back at the other Wutters for making me the target of the Giveaway). Prizes will be any ONE item available in the in-game Store worth up to 1450 Gs...or a Psylocke Token.

Entries will be accepted until 12:00pm PST, Sunday January 15. Winners will be randomly selected...whenever we get around to it. ;)

Wait...Wut?

EDIT

I have just been informed by Gaz's own, illustrious @TheDink that there's a special treat in store for any "Non-Entrants". It seems that SOMEBODY has a VU in the pipeline, so getting Psylocked is going to be a whole lot prettier, soon.

I hate to mention this, but I'm hoping someone at Gaz might explain to me the challenges of MH's graphics, for example, the distinct difference between this(below), and this (right).

What are the limitations that prevents Gaz from making heroes that actually look smooth and comic book accurate? Is it the game engine that limits the designers or the graphic software that Gaz uses? Or are there any other factors contributing to the poor graphics?

Download available for TC on steam.

I live in europe and it's 00:49 right now, and i am tired. i was wondering if @KomoriMan could give me an insight on when exactly the update may hit, if it's within one or two hours i will stay awake. but if it's in like 4. i'm gonna have to go to sleep

Plz no haters. xD just a simple question

@azrather have thrown three to four names for the blank sections of "Add hero ___ ". From those I liked Shocker the most and he also was one of the characters I have seen that people want to have in the game. I mean as pleayable hero not as someone who is a part of "defeat in 20s in terminal" achievement. There is not much to Shocker. Engeener criminal who wanted to rob safes without harmin people, but that part of life ended after prison and after meeting Spider-man. Besides his suit he have nothing. He isn't genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. He have low self esteem and even though he is powerful and dangerous in his suit that can kill with ease and shake down subway tunnels - at time he is a treated as a joke. So here with no laugh and total seriousness I present Shocker.

This guy that he dispatched in a second is Punisher

Name

Introduction

Early Life
Herman Schultz's parents died when his younger brother, Marty, was a boy. Schultz was usually involved in theft or extortion; a typical day in the life of the Shocker would find him knocking over armored cars or trying to hawk items he previously stole. On one particularly ambitious day, the Shocker held New York City for ransom when he blacked out portions of the city to spell out his criminal moniker, then threatened to black out the entire city unless he was paid one million dollars. On another he terrified a stockbroker into playing the market, for substantial monetary gain.

Shocker
Schultz, after serving several prison terms for robbery, built a battle suit that sent out shock waves to quickly open safes as well as give himself a one-up on the authorities. The Shocker had the ability to shock his enemies with his hand held vibro-shock units, but because the vibrations were so fierce, he wore a heavily insulated suit. During his first outing as the self-styled "Shocker" he ran into and defeated Spider-Man (albeit the hero was suffering a broken arm at the time) who became Schultz's nemesis. Early on in his career Shocker often acted as either a thief or subordinate to more prominent mob bosses such as Silvermane.

Masters of Evil
The Shocker became a member of the Masters of Evil with Radioactive Man, Tiger Shark, Moonstone, and the Beetle to incriminate Dr. Henry Pym, who was then on trial for treason. Unfortunately they were defeated by the Avengers. The Shocker was later hired by the Nazi war criminal Baron Von Lundt to kill Dominic Fortune, and built the vibro-shock units into his entire uniform to do so.

More can be found at Marvel Wikia

Skills and Gadgets

Engineer: The Shocker is a gifted, and apparently self-taught, engineer who built his battle suit from scratch in a prison workshop. He is also the (self-proclaimed) world's best safe-cracker.

Vibro-Shock Gauntlets: The Shocker has two vibro-shock units that, when activated by a thumb trigger, can project a concentrated blast of air that has been vibrated at an intense frequency. This allows the Shocker to both effectively throw long range vibrational punches, as well as vibrating the structure of something in order to weaken or destroy it. Holding the thumb triggers down for an extended period of time increases the intensity, speed, and even spread of the air blasts. The vibro-shock units were created to open safes by "shaking" them open silently and quickly. Shocker also has a vibrational shield that deflects blows to him & allows him to slip from many a grasp. The feedback from the Shocker's gauntlets is extremely intense (the initial test almost killed him.) To guard himself from this, Schultz developed a protective costume consisting largely of yellow quilt patches designed to absorb the shock. The vibro-shock units can add power to his punch via a trip-hammer vibration shock, making his blows a dozen times more potent than normal.

At one point, the Shocker upgraded his equipment so that his vibro-shocks came from micro-circuitry emitters throughout the costume, so that he was no longer dependent on the gauntlets for his powers. He continued to wear the gauntlets as a deliberate ruse against Spider-Man and other heroes, leading them to think the gauntlets were still his Achilles' heel. Other upgrades over the years boosted Shocker's overall abilities, or provided new ones such as flight. Shocker has repeatedly gone back to his original power levels and gauntlets, however, implying that these upgrades were unstable or expensive to maintain. [My addition – which with Shield backup and few eggheaded heroes stoped being a problem.]

Power Trees

• Vibro Fighting
  By vibrating his gauntlets Shocker can augment his strenght by a dozen times. He was able to knock down Luck Cage and give She-Hulk a hard time not to mention overpowering Spider-Man. In this tree we have more direct aproach to shocker fighting with punches that knockback, knockdown, shake ground around him or destroy single enemy from the inside.

• Shock Trooper
  Vibrations of air at just right frequencies traveling through space hit enemies as a concusive force or pierces them vibrating their bodies. Shocker can also shoot the ground to make it shake or deform.

Two powers have two step charge instead of normal one step charge that gives power two potential effects. This one stops a bit in the middle then goes again to the end making the power that have three effects. Default >50% at 50% < but >100% have additional effect and bigger effect at 100%.

[With some animation money/time: We know that it's canon in Marvel Heroes that cars come from nowhere and many skills have shown that – that's just a disclaimer. If there is something that can tople over like statues in odin palace, or something that can fall like parts of building in middtown or celling in kingpin tower it does. In more extreme version I wanted for shocker to shake down earth in a way that he bring a still speeding metro through the ground.]

Costumes

Classic - We know it, we love it, it's default.

Tankier - When a thief wants to kill

Thunderbolts

Unmasked - I think it's Thunderbolts based on the pattern.

Spider Island

Ultimate Shocker - Two costumes. One is funky second is cool.

"Renew your Vows" Universe

2010 Marvel Animated Universe

Added:

I tried to make him as little cooldown based as possible. To make him old school. I like mechanics but I also like simplicity from time to time. And both classic and simple guy like Shocker is a good candidate for simple :)

If you have a suggestion on what hero I should do next message me.
List of my Hero Suggestions is Here and allways in my signature.

I got the AP3 buyers remorse blues.

Bought a bunch of content.
For my favorite game.
But the way they do release
ya it suddenly changed.

I got the waiting for new content but instead I get a rewrite of a bunch of things I was happy with blues.
I got the I want to play the heroes I paid for but I don't think I will get them and will be too busy to enjoy them blues.

I sure it will be better
at least that's what I'm told
but half my guild quit logging in
I feel like i'm on hold

I got the oh please give us a hard date or a hero or something worth doing why we wait blues.
I got the I don't want to read a wall of text of about a system I have to learn by trial and error the first time blues.

Had to buy me new team ups
Hay man I thought I paid
Every day I get nothing
Man this is bad days

I got the I don't think I will make this mistake again I hope this gets better omg this is getting silly blues.
I got the AHHHHHHHHH no more useless events to help noobs grind to catch up to me while I just la la la la blues.

Just throwing this out there, but man would this be a cool character to have. I've envisioned a ton of things they could do with him powers wise. He also has a good chunk of lore connected to him and the larger Marvel Universe that I don't think that many casual Marvel fans know about. What do you think people? Could you get behind a Man Thing effort?

I did post them in TC forum, this is for storage. Because I can't access TC threads when TC is down.

I just made a year playing marvel heroes. In the interest of humility and levity here are some bonehead moves I've made in marvel heroes thus far. What are yours?

1 I accidentally bought at least 5 blessings instead of exchanging them.
2 I accidentally made doop inspiration instead of power doop at least 4 times.
3 waited forever to do my first raid, thereby taking much longer than necessary to get upgrade recipes
4 blended some cool costumes because I never thought I'd play long enough to get those heroes, or didn't think I'd like the hero. Also I didn't think to put them on the hero instead of in my inventory. I've even bought a costume back that I once was given.
5 didn't think to do achieves on heroes I didn't own towards the gambit end of the world costume. Made the grinding take much longer.
6 would have done defense uru on a lot more heroes than I have
7 early on I didn't realize how good invuln cores were and trashed who knows how many in favor of loh
8 upgraded a lot (10 maybe) of questionable insignias to cosmic because I didn't fully learn game mechanics earlier (crit damage)

So in summary, I'm not at all mad at these mistakes, and they won't be the last. Mistakes are often the best way to learn, but I've wasted many doop runes, time and even money. Also, reading is fundamental. I could have invested more into reading a hero's power sets before I made certain decisions for them. What are some of yours? What's something you did that you would pass onto a new player as an example of what NOT to do?
