Read through some of the comments, seems half love the changes the other half are in NGE pitchfork mode.

Same impression here. I can't play it because my PC decided to start going to 116 degrees centigrade and powering off with any MMO until I get the thermal paste re-done.

I got a lot of 5%, and then finally a 50% and spent $50 for the $100. It's been handy, for example I bought all the cheapest heroes during the BOGO - but got duplicates (even one twice in a row). 15 stashes.

Does the launcher throttle itself past the "Playable" point? I was downloading at 15Mbps, but once it hit the "playable" mark, it dropped to 1.75 exactly.

Have they changed which type of discounts you can get lately? Since I got that 90% I had not seen a single one on either account until I got a 25% today, thought maybe they removed them entirely or at least scrapped all the low % ones as mostly worthless.

Just got another 5%.

Nothing has changed.

I logged in the other day for the first time in a very long time....I can't figure out how this game works now. The skill system makes no damn sense to me--with all my max level toons, I can't tell where points are or what I need to do to unlock, or what is unlocked wrg to skills. It's confusing. On top of that...cd and limited dash moves? WTF! that is the worst feature in any game, ever. Who the hell wants to farm maps and have to do it so slowly? Are we supposed to use the stupid travel skills now? pffffffft. No one ever cared about those. For heroes like NC, who completely depends on TP/dash, this completely ruins them.


and you can no longer buy heroes with splinters or some other kind on in-game currency?

OK. Here's the answers.

The core skills are automatic now as you level, without points.

Some secondary skills on the right give you three choices for each tier, you click the one you want.

There are the same old hero synergies, and a new infinity system for other skills.

You can still buy heroes with splinters. They just changed the interface - now use to buy it, and it asks if you want to pay with splinters or g.

You can still also buy random heroes for 175g.

Played for awhile last night for first time since omega update to get the free Cosmo. Didnt realize until then that the old powerpoint system had been scrapped even though I'd probably read about it before. Only issue with that I've had so far is that now you have so many abilities and so few action bar slots.

If you aren't sure which to use, check builds on marvelheroes.info.

It's hard to do a rotation of more than 8 abilities anyway, so I don't miss the old multi-bar. It's also nice not to have to mess with allocating skill points, then re-allocating all of them if you want to use one different power,

During the event I've mostly been leveling up unlocked heroes and hoarding the 1,000 defense cosmic catalysts. With the regular cake-splosions you can level a hero and still vaporize all gear below cosmic to level up pets. You'll get new cosmics often enough for story mode / green difficulty. Plus each cakesplosion gives you level 60 catalysts not your current level.

With cake slices, I bought the two ES crates and three teamups, now deciding what else to buy. So far, the 4th anniversary cakes look like the thing to get with cosmic artifacts and level 80 legendaries.

Some suggested buying cosmic artifacts or arc reactors.

Not sure.

Don't disagree about the abilities, but now you need to look for a write up to see what's worth as your active ones.

Not sure.

Got the splinters and new team up, already had the others. Probably grab the CA % IM themed items, then maybe another cake or just save rest of the slices. Don't play enough to really get value even though I snagged over 3k with my real limited play.

cash option good until the 1st, splinters going away tomorrow.

I'll probably grab several costumes as I don't have much to spends G on after getting that 90% off special

can't you still hot-link, extra skills to various keys? I never used the multi-bar per sey (as I have an irrational affinity for the beauty and perfection of a perfect 8 skill build in most games--I hate it when a character requires more), but some MH characters do require more....so I would link 2-4 extra skills to keys for certain uses, using some nerd code I found in the forums. ....is that option gone now? UNless they fundamentally changed some of the heroes, I'm not sure how they could be viable without the extra skills. I mean, DR Strange would be impossible.

They did rework everyone at the beginning of the year, partly to prepare for the console launch. Making Dr Strange playable with just 8 powers was one of the points they brought up.
