Aargh I was hoping we wouldnt need to reinstall for launch. This is going to be hell for my internet cap.
Surprised they don't have full skill trees up on their public site either.
Then again their site is pretty bad as is.

This guys reasoning is dumb. He says the founder packs are bullshit because you get to play before everyone else and he wants to be an equal level with everyone starting out.
But, you're never going to be on an equal level with everyone. Some people have jobs and school while others don't.
Deadpool has a dodge and roll so being surrounded doesn't bother me.
Also, he never mentioned that all the damage related stuff is in beta and subject to change.
Kripp plays 8+ hours a day. He can out-level anyone he wants even with a week of headstart. Heck, he died several times in PoE when he was level 80ish and still outleveled a lot of people a week later.
I don't think he'd find any challenge in this game either way. He abandoned Guild Wars 2 super fast.

I'm having a good time with this so far, so I'll be playing this - add me to the list for the Guild!
I just noticed that I have 4000g (in game currency, I guess?) Is that just to try out other characters, or if I use it up and buy someone, it'll carry over?

Thats just beta test money. Sadly you don't get to keep it, and nothing will carry over, since your still in beta test and they're going to wipe everything on the 27th. But certainly use it to try out whoever you want so you have a better idea of how the characters play when the game comes out.

Kripp the no-life number one exploiter who's been banned from more games in a year than I have in my whole life. I can see why he wouldn't enjoy this game (and others) but I just can't stand the guy and his following.
They announced on the forums that it would be today I believe. It's gonna be, interesting..
Still don't understand why so many people love Kripp.
The guy is a joke. Then again, look at the following of people like that pewdiepie joker.

I usually don't agree with them but I'm honestly enjoying the hell out of it. It's not super deep but it's fun and you get to be Iron Man, Hulk, Spiderman, etc and not some made up character.
I really do like it. Also I for the fun of it made a beta guild with the price cut on those today. Sadly it gets wiped in 3 days for early access but I kept it simple. It is NeoGAF. lol
Also I noticed hero prices came down in this new patch. That's a good sign. Iron Man's tracking is still somewhat broken though.

I dunno why Krip harped on the 7 day head start so much like it was this big p2w thing. It's a pretty common practice, happens in lots of mmos/online games.

Has it gotten any more "open" since early beta? Last time I played it was like 3 hallways and a boss, unlike Diablo 2's open zones.
It has always had open areas. You just didn't play past the tutorial.

He's improved with newest patch. Still has the tracking issues but he no longer hits like a limp noodle. Now he hits like a little league ball bat. So it's improving.
It comes out June 4th. Otherwise you need a beta key to play ATM.
And are beta keys hard to come by?
This.
I'll try to see if it is better and out of love for Marvel comics, but my experience wasn't good
By the way, will there be a character wipe before the launch?
Unless you purcased a character pack, youll have to wait for the 4th.
A multi-use key was posted in this thread earlier IIRC. Might wanna scroll up and see if that still works.

might wanna note that the closed beta is probably ending monday or tuesday to make way for the early access for everyone

When is the early access coming and is it for anyone?
Tuesday for the $200 pack buyers, Friday for the $60 pack people, Sunday for the $20 pack people, and June 4th is the official launch for everyone else.

Any idea what individual characters will cost post launch?
Edit: Official Pricing Looks like the base cost will be 1usd=100G but some slight discounts for buying bulk. Disappointing if they keep some heroes at 2000G, dunno if they are worth $20 each...

Well they just announced the G to cash ratio. it came out to be what we all thought it would be. Not too shabby I think.
https://www.marvelheroes.com/news/news-articles/preparing-launch-price-gs
Based off what was just announced here. It's looking like since they reduced prices the highest priced heroes are going to be about 1200G to 1600G juding by the prices in the beta at this point. So that means heroes are going to be very between 6 to 20 bucks. Very fair I think.

Figured that'd be the conversion rate. Really hope they don't keep the 2000G heroes up at that price, $20 for Ironman, Deadpool and Spiderman is too damn much. Seeing as these 3 characters also have the most costumes available, you'd think they'd make them more affordable so that more people buy the costumes
Yup 2000 for Iron Man is way too too much. I think I might just pay $10 for Cable instead and buy Iron Man during a sale or something.
$15 is my threshold.

Reading the forums, it looks like the hero prices are still being tweaked, lets hope they reduce some of them. I bought the Xforce Premium pack so I'll have Collossus, Wolverine, Deadpool and Cable to start off with + 3000G. I'm think I'll be picking up Ms. Marvel, Jean Grey and maybe Rocket Racoon.

Yea I think the prices will be tweaked. If they aren't then vote with your wallets. If people don't buy heroes cause their overpriced then they'll drop the prices. I know I'm going to be very selective when new heroes come around that I want.
The bulk of the new features have been implemented most recently. I think it's fair to say you won't see everything at every stage of the closed beta.
As much as I want to believe they're tweaking prices, I don't understand how much they can get from watching purchasing habits from free money players are given and to the same players who have purchased different heroes every other time they've been allocated free money.
Not playing the beta at all and just waiting for release at this point. Otherwise, I think the prices are reasonable.

Btw, someone just released an early beta of a skill calculator he's been working on. It shows skins and short youtube clips for every move, really great stuff.
It's very early though so there's plenty of bugs. You can post feedback here: Feedback Thread
You can find the calculator here: Skill Calculator

For hero prices, $15 is pushing it, $20 is too much imo. If I were a free player, and I see $20 for Iron man, then $10-$15 for the costume I want, then $3.5-$5 for at least one stash tab (which will definitely be needed because current default tab is just too small) I'd probably just play it for a while with the free characters and then move on. You now get 3 free characters too, which is cool, so you also want people looking at the costumes.
$10 is probably what I'll spend in new characters, considering I'm going to have $50 due to the pack. I want to see Nova, Gambit and Ice Man down the line. For costumes I want Marvel NOW Thor* and Captain Marvel, but I'll wait and see if there is a version without the mask.
*Sidenote: Jason Aaron/Esad Ribic are doing a fantastic job with this one. Definitely worth checking out.

So if we bought a $60 pack we'll get 5,500 Gs?
No, thats only for utltimates i think. Premium get around $20-30, but i don't know for sure. check the site.
$20 packs get $10 for certain.
ElRenoRaven

Nope ultimate gets more.
It's 100gs per dollar. If you're the first wave of ultimate packs you got 100 dollars in currancy which means 10,000Gs Now if you bought one just recently then it's 5,000gs you'd get.
