[Test Center] Hulk 52 Review Feedback
@khalidoor said: Some Projectile Deflect would be highly appreciated, and very fitting with his lore (bullets, shells, rockets, grenades, etc bouncing off him). Sorry I wasn't more specific. He gets health on 4 gear slots and a high health roll on his slot 2. Compared to someone like Juggernaut and Venom, he has the exact same health rolls. So I am just wondering where he falls behind.

[Official Feedback] Supergroups
Hi all, One of the things we've scheduled this year is a batch of improvements to Supergroups. We would like to hear your feedback of the top 5-10 things that should be on that priority list? Note that we will definitely be doing supergroup achievements and a more robust "notes" field for guild officers to communicate with the guild, as a definite improvement. Let us know. Take your time. Much appreciated!

[Test Center] Winter Soldier Feedback @julianmanson said: I don't get why removing such an idea when a dev takes the time to explain it correctly... There seems to be a major miscommunication here - @MichaelMayhem was displaying the different effects between two stances and how they change powers. We never want to encourage that kind of stance dancing, certainly not on Winter Soldier. And yes, the + damage on coming out of stealth was removed to prevent people from having to constantly go stealth in their rotation. Stealth still has it's uses utility wise, but mashing a stealth button as part of a rotation didn't really make much sense. Regardless we are still actively iterating on Winter Soldier's design. He has a lot of moving parts and we're working on getting him to a place where we'll all happy.

[Test Center] Captain America Feedback
@TheShaggyWolf said: amthua, would it be possible to add bonus power ranks to Shield Strike on the Uru-Enhanced Shield (slot 1)? I know that would technically push it over its stat budget, but since it's an alternative single target spender, I don't think anyone would realistically spec fully into both Shield Strike and Vibranium Bash, so I think it makes sense to add +Shield Strike as an exception to this item. Most likely. I can look at see what I can do. The + to individual skills are not set in stone on ANY captain item. But some are harder to justify changing/moving than others.

Permalink | 1 commentsMarvel Heroes got its own form of the Diablo hireling/follower when Gazillion introduced Team-Ups to the game in 2014. Team-Ups differ from the Diablo versions in that players can utilize them in three different modes: passive, a temporary burst damage mode, and the more traditional active mode.
Unfortunately, while Team-Ups were quite flavorful in terms of their variety, they werent incredibly useful for anything but their passive bonuses. Team-Up bonuses in passive mode can have a fairly strong impact on your characters damage potential while their active modes just didnt offer the same impact due to high cooldowns and their tendency to die in combat.
All of that is set to change and more in a newly announced overhaul for Team-Ups that is currently slated for release sometime in Q1 of this year. Creative Designer Ryan Ryolnir Collins recently took to the forums to announce the changes in a three-part series of dev blog posts.
I have to say I was a bit surprised at how far Gazillion is planning to take the overhaul of Team-Ups. Sure, Team-Ups have flaws that needed to be addressed, but from the looks of it, Gazillion is planning to expand on Team-Ups such that theyre almost full-blown characters on their own. For one, Team-Ups will now level up all the way to 60 (with their own synergies at level 25 and 50 to boot!), though their stats will scale to your current characters level. And yes, you will only need to level each Team-Up once. Team-Ups will also have their own power trees with powers (including a signature ability) that unlock as they level up. The points you spend here will allow you to enhance and customize the way your Team-Up hero performs regardless of what mode you have them set to. Personally, I tend to keep my Team-Ups in away mode, even if they do end up being much more awesome, so its nice to see that Ill be able to up their effectiveness no matter how I decide to use them.
But what if you are one of those people that want to have a Team-Up hero out at all times? Well, it sounds like Gaz may finally have you covered. From Ryolnirs second blog post, we learn that the team is working on a full survivability pass for Team-Ups and this appears to include a 50% reduction in damage taken from Area of Effect (AoE) attacks. It will also be possible to give Team-Ups move orders, which should allow you to ensure that they move away from telegraphed high damage attacks.
Ryolnir does add the caveat that you still shouldnt expect to run your Team-Ups in active mode in a huge raid with tons of players and boss mechanics, but it sounds like active Team-Ups will be significantly tougher for other content. Godspeed to those of you who have the patience to dodge Doom circles both for yourself and for your Team-Ups. I dont think Ill ever make the attempt myself. Victors annoying enough as it is. Still, I plan to run Archangel active with Psylocke (hopefully this is competitive with Wasps amazing away passive) and Magik with Colossus.
What we havent heard as much on so far is Team-Up gear. Its a real pain in the ass to try to gear your Team-Ups at the moment. Team-Up gear doesnt drop frequently enough and when it does, its a real crapshoot on whether or not it will be at all useful. Ryolnirs third blog update does mention that the team is working on a review of all Team-Up gear and this will include the introduction of Team-Up unique items. Im definitely looking forward to that.
Finally, Gazillion just announced Team-Up Advance Pack 2, which nets you eight Team-Ups that are planned to be released this year as well as the bonus Archangel (X-Force) team-up and a Spider-Gwen enhanced costume for Spider-Man at a fairly significant discount. I instantly added the thing to my cart as soon as I saw Archangel in there (big surprise, I know!). I fully expect Rescue to be an incredibly popular Team-Up both in active and away mode whenever she shows up. Im probably going to end up just as tired of seeing her in Marvel Heroes as I was in Marvel Avengers Alliance. Shields and heals everywhere! Hopefully Rescue doesnt end up being as ubiquitous as I think shell be and that there are still compelling enough reasons to want to run more damage oriented Team-Ups after her release.
Whats your take on the Team-Up overhaul? Which Team-Ups are you looking forward to most this year?

A Day in the Life of a Gaz Employee?
@GGiant said: All that ontop of the national guard, so i almost never had a day off.that sounds insane. At some point you have to question what's better for your well being if it becomes too crazy. My schedule sounds super nuts, but I've been on a schedule like this for basically the past 4 years, so I've become a bit accustomed to it

Please, can We have 2 versions of spider Gwen costume?
She's Spider-Woman in her own universe, I believe. Spider-Gwen is the name Marvel is choosing to use to differentiate her from other Spider-Women/Girls from a brand standpoint. The slippers aren't final in our model, but she will definitely have them.

Any costume updates coming with the WS patch?
@Yseviel said: spaceZeroX Would love to update both Rogues, but not my call to make and would be very hard to get approved. This is a rigging/anim issue, will need to be alerted to the @Lord This sounds like an update, which is not my call to make. I can enhance, polish or fix what is already there. Any changes that changes the mesh, or visuals that already have been Marvel approved is beyond my powers to change. Cheers,
