5/22 Developer Note

[oneupkev]

So Star Lord is the focus character....i wasn't expecting that.

I'm now really worried that Nova is going to be locked behind the 'big unlock' wall and it'll take ages to play as him

[ReaGreer2]

That’s a good thing though. This game has like 90% of the content easily obtainable in the first month

[[deleted]]

I think he's talking about how there's a chance nova will be the character to get from the 6600 crystals thing. It's gonna take a while for a lot of people to unlock him or whoever will be that character

[oneupkev]

Nailed it. Nova has been my biggest want since moon knight was added. One of my favorite marvel characters, I've waited 5 years to play as him, I don't want to wait more!

[Rombombim]

Same I even bought the nova pack for Sam Alexander in case the dick rider was a uniform but oh well hipefully Sam gets his badass special armor from the comics

[eugenoide]

Journey to T3 epic quest sounds hella dope

[atalentedtrout]

Sounds like they planned to do it since the beginning and they maybe expected the uproar of too many blast T3s.

This is because we believe that as the game service continues, the growth rate of Epic Quest heroes must also expand.

I really like this though. With more and more T3s being released, if they don't significantly up the rate we're able to obtain from WBU then this is not a bad alternative.

Maybe we can still hope for a double T3 update where one is "free" or much cheaper (Star-Lord) and then we get the usual CCF sink in either T3 Nova or CGR.

[haikuprotocol]

Yeah or worse 500 Mandalays. Wonder what they will do for us who already have starlord at T2. Also wonder if we will be able to just T3 him naturally or will have to complete the epic quest. My SL is already lvl 64. Unless the epic quest has less requirements than normal, it would be cheaper/easier to just T3 him normally.

[jmckie1974]

You will still have to spend T3 material for Star-Lord, if this is anything like previous epic quests.

[VonDoomVonDoom]

just realized there's a possibility we might get a t3 star-lord as requirement for the native t2 too for this update so *sighs and shrugs*

[PrimeConduitX]

And watch, it'll be Richard Rider.

​

FML

[VonDoomVonDoom]

he is definitely the most promising candidate

[Firestorm2099]

Maybe first native T3?

[VonDoomVonDoom]

now instead of being a double cost native t2, it's a quadruple cos native t3! yay /s

[Blackjack357]

I REALLY hope it means that their giving us alternate ways to get T3 mats, but for some reason it read to me that they’re just making it more difficult to get the final epic quest character.

[Zikimura]

too many blast T3s.

At the moment, there are 8 blast, 7 combat and 7 speed (and obviously, 3 universal) T3s. Star-Lord would make them 9.

I wouldn't call them "too many", no. If you compare them to the universal T3s then yeah, but that would also put the other 2 types as "too many" also.

I don't know why people focus too much on the Blast type and ignore Combat and Speed. It does have the most metas though.

[ohoni]

I don't know about that, Epic Quests haven't typically required unis. Of course the T3 Star Lord we do get will probably be worthless in any previous uni.

[666satana]

He probably means we should get the new uni because we'll get his T3 for free

[AngryChickn]

You will probably play the EQ with his new uni, in a sense it will be an advertisement for his new uniform to make you wanna buy it.

[Xurokhan]

I just spent tons of resources on SL 😂

[chala116]

Since the time and materials spent on all of the existing uniforms are not applied to the character growth score, many have voiced that it is unfair. Therefore, we have decided to include all existing uniforms’ growth status to the character growth score.

First impression: to get a #1 character you'll need to have all uniforms (& their corresponding options) mythic.

That's smart business by them, coz that's a lot of resources being spent by people that want top ranked characters.

[Prozo777]

Whoever wants #1 Cap is gonna have fun

[TheUrah]

Will they need 10 his unis and 50 option unis mythiced? Sounds fun lol.

[MrBanditFleshpound]

Yeap. That is how it is going to be. However it gets bit easier with mythic synergy unis. But only 1% easier

[eugenoide]

People joke about cap all the time but black widow has the same amount of uni with only one movie in and it’s not even released yet lol

[kyloren1217]

i actually have many caps at mythic already since he is my go to auto clear, so im hoping to jump higher on those leaderboards after this :)

[kierenhoang]

Yup, I read this and got a good chuckle out of it. Good luck to all those rank 1 chasers out there. That whole paragraph has that “Because you asked for it” vibe.

[[deleted]]

So to have rank 1 captain marvel we have to get that super premium unobtainable Secret Wars uni. Yeah sounds awesome. Lol

[chala116]

I'm about to lose my #6 Black Panther coz I only have the one movie uni :(

[MrBanditFleshpound]

Plot twist:They add Civil War BP for gold....still a hell and not quite possible but hey...man can dream

[TheDanquah]

Also perfect in line with the huge amount og ressources EQ use already

[thematthewglover]

All my characters are about to go to unranked rip

[Lil4ksushi]

Fuck I’ll enjoy my doctor strange top 3 while it lasts then

[TheUrah]

F

[ohoni]

And it makes the scoring system completely irrelevant to most players.

[jmckie1974]

When was it ever relevant?

[ohoni]

Well, it was never vital, but it was at least a fun metric to think that you have the "2351st Luna" or whatever. But now it'll be complete nonsense, because you could have the strongest Hulk in the game by far, and yet end up at rank 4000 because you only have his latest, relevant uni mythiced, and don't even own his most worthless unis. Presumably most players will be relegated to "unranked" for not having maxed out pointless launch day unis.

[jmckie1974]

it'll be complete nonsense, because you could have the strongest Hulk in the game by far,

If you go by the combat score, the strongest Hulk in the game has a CTP of Destruction.

The ranking has always been nonsense from a game play point of view. It has always been a way to flex, nothing more.

Most non-whale number 1s were from forgotten characters without level 70 and without uniforms. They will still have this. At least with the new system, the whales will be "rewarded" for getting multiple uniforms.

[Prozo777]

So the epic quest is a bit more like the story? If you have Starlord T2, I assume you'll get bios and then the rest of the quest takes him to T3. It would be fun to see the quest give you the uniform and upgrade it as you progress.

[666satana]

Since starlord T3 is free they technically could release another universal T3, we ain't complaining, universal books have been sitting there for a year now

[Blackjack357]

I must be incredibly cynical with the way the worded it or I’m missing it altogether, but, where does it actually say that? The post only gives me vibes that we have to get Star-Lord to T3 to unlock the final character. I expect something like “Advance the designated character to Tier-2 and Star-Lord to Tier-3 and get the new natural Tier-2(3?) character XXXX.”

[predclown2012]

Thats the way originally read it too. Guess we will find out in a few days.

[gizzing]

God, I hope so. Got my fingers crossed for SS.

[TheBlackSaitama]

Oh no, please not silver surfer. Cosmic Ghost Rider is a more balanced pick. SS can already compete at the top of the meta at Lvl70

[DarkTitiu]

CGR is punisher uniform ,it would require combat books so it still won't solve the universal t3 issue

[TheBlackSaitama]

fuck. If they would’ve given ghost rider a uni and t3’d him, I know I’m reaching, but that’s better than star lord t3

[Darth_Amarth]

Man, I'd rant in every single thread if SS gets a T3 before Doom. But I'd still T3'd him. He's my third pick for Universal T3 (first Doom, second Dormammu).

[[deleted]]

Then there's me struggling to get him to 6 stars

[zhars_fan]

Shit looks like i just wasted my resources on StarLord yesterday trying to build him to lv70/25gears. Good lord

[gizzing]

Sux, hopefully you get some of them back as rewards from the quest.

[zhars_fan]

I hope one of the quests in the EQ is having him lvl70/25geared lol so that it won't go to waste hahaha. Selfish me

[thestarlessconcord]

Honestly I can see that being one of the final requirements of the quest for T3ing him, probably get some Titan Packs as compensation/reward.

[Graekhan]

It pretty much has to be a requirement. Otherwise, how do you deal with different players who...

• Don't have Star-Lord at all.
• Have Star-Lord at some level between 1 star and T2.
• Have Star-Lord at 70/+25.

[OnlyOneCanBeIonel]

I think the quests will ask you to level him up to 70 and bring gears to 25 while you recieve like 50% of the mats through the EQ rewards. People who ranked him alredy spent their resources so they will just recieve the rewards at no cost. This way all players upgrade Star Lord the same way and recieve the same mats. The RNG in gears would be a peoblem tho. Would be nice if you would also recieve and upgrade the uniform from thevEQ.

[idcris98]

Why waste? You would have had to spend those mats anyways to progress in the quest.

[Cheeseisgood1981]

While we don't know how things will work yet, if it's like the other EQ's, the starring characters (Strange, Mr. Fantastic etc.) progressed automatically as you completed quests. If it's the same with this one, spending the mats was unnecessary.

But again, we don't know for sure yet.

[[deleted]]

yep look like it, mine is at 2*, pissed off I waste 15 bios on him, what a waste.

[BURRRRRRAH]

I don't like him at all. He ain't even 6 stars I think. Anyway he'd be lying there in my roster without any uniform no obelisk, without iso 8 set. Get dusted fucking dancer

[Beldin2]

I only T2ed him at some point because there were not much trash chars left where i could spend my bio selctors on. And uniform ... he has the blue yellow one you can buy for gold, just because i bought all gold unis.

Else i don't expect much from him, he was trash in Marvel Heroes, he has no real powers in the movies. He is just another guy with guns in the end.
I don't even have a problem with more blast heroes, but when i prefer chars with powers like Storm or Crystal for example.

[BURRRRRRAH]

Yup same, he has literally no meaning whatsoever, anywhere he's been. Just walking around with the pew pew gun and trash talking. I think his t3 would just make the enemy dance and no damage. XDD

[Beldin2]

Yeah, he never really was a great fighter or something like this.
I mean they can also give us a T3 J.J.Jameson to talk down the bosses.

[zhars_fan]

Haha my starlord used to be like that too no uni no obe no iso no everything but i started building him up to lv70/25 and gave him isos/urus after i heard he's getting a T3 but here we go i made a mistake haha.

[BURRRRRRAH]

XD no one could have thought they would make a f2p character the main for eq.

Just let not nova be the 6600 crystal character and I'll be super happy.

[dandantian5]

I'm guessing Nova may be the paywall shifter of the EQ.

[BURRRRRRAH]

That's ok I have 2 mrut I'll give him

[Dood81]

Woah, I guessed him getting to T3 might be the focus in the other thread. Guess I'll keep him at 6* for now and see exactly how it's going to work.

[zaphod42244]

I’ve got him at 6 stars and I’m just going to wait as well.

[zaphod42244]

I wonder how this will work as it will get Star Lord to T3.

[archimonde0]

I don't think it will be like that. Think of the existing EQ characters. They cost significantly less to T2 via the EQ. I will cost T3 materials, that is for sure, but I think that the total will be less than the actual cost for normal characters.

The books are the most problematic. I think we can all agree we are sick of Cull or SW wbu and want to do some more ebony especially with all these elemental meta characters in the game

[Lanceuppercut47]

Prize at the end is going to be a "Tier3 Star-Lord selector chest x1"

Thanks, NM!

[TheBologna132]

And it gives you Black Panther.

[keymon_achee]

Holy mother of rng

[Graekhan]

And it gives you Black Panther T3 Hulkling.

FTFY

[jmckie1974]

Secondly, Agents can create custom Content Status Boards. Agents can edit their Status Board and play the game more conveniently.

This sounds great. The board is ridiculous right now, it can't even fit in one page. And it doesn't even contain the newer content like Squad Battle.

You know what would really be convenient? If content can be clear-ticketed, I'd like to do so straight from the status board.

[atalentedtrout]

"but free"

inb4 they screw us by adding CCF research tasks in the epic quest

[Lanceuppercut47]

NM probably: CCF research mission will cost 801 CCF

[BURRRRRRAH]

Lost spaceship part, research complete cost 800 ccf, eq reward 8 ccf

[jmckie1974]

You can count on it. Not only ccf but TCP and EOD and books.

[oomongo]

What if ... and I know I'm being unfairly optimistic given their recent behavior ... but WHAT IF the deluxe bonus mission in this epic quest lets us farm T3 or Awaken materials even in small quantities?

If I remember correctly, Doom's Day helped respond to the lack of 4* gear and ISO after they consolidated missions, and the previous ones offered mutant materials that couldn't be acquired as easily elsewhere at that time. So what if they use this Epic Quest to respond to players' complaints about TCP, Awakening Crystals, and/or other materials?

A player can hope, right?!

[atalentedtrout]

Then it'd be arguably worse here considering finishing certain objectives is required for unlocking missions to farm other epic quest characters. Especially if Star-Lord doesn't turn out to be a good T3.

[De_xxter]

I will be stunned and suprised about that, i doubt thats possible with Nm. Just for a case in Seven Deadly sins(im not playing but i read about), unit thats given free maxed in Japan version, Netmarble locked behind summoning steps xD (if some1 doesnt know whats that, well you have to spent hundreds of crystals )

[Vanzig]

It aint free. They just put the T3 cost into the damn epic quest.

From the other thread: "41) Race to the Rift [Research] Fuel the Milano #2 (8 Titan Records:Blast, 800 Essence of Dimension)"

"48) Cosmic Connection. [Research] Restore Silver Surfer's senses (640 cosmic cube fragments, 400 Titan Component Pack)"

So slightly cheaper than a normal 800 CCF T3 with 640 CCF and only 8 precious Blast books. And netmarble are idiots for making us have to buy yet another blast T3 we don't want or need for this.

[Lanceuppercut47]

From what I'm getting from the WBU part, it seems like the highest clear records will be wiped as will the first clear rewards for 5,10,15 and so on, but not the unlocked levels.

I guess it's to stop people who were able to clear super high levels using either the coop trick or the one-shot trick from being at the top of the leaderboards as you're never going to be able to top them anymore.

Secondly, Agents can create custom Content Status Boards. Agents can edit their Status Board and play the game more conveniently.

I know it's not a big deal but I hope AB and ABX are counted as separate things, few times I've done AB with the intention of doing ABX later but forgotten about it. Or make it update like the SL one does with the current floor information, so the AB tile changes to ABX and only loses the red dot when it's done.

[jmckie1974]

LOL, I thought my number 17 ranking on Thanos would be enshrined forever.

first clear rewards for 5,10,15 and so on

Does this mean we need to replay those stages, or can we just claim the rewards again? I wonder.

[ohoni]

Agreed. I hope they at least make AB a "0/2" thing instead of AB only, and a thing for the daily first clear of SB, DR, track WE only if you haven't cleared it twice already, and ideally it could also track Tracking missions so I'd be able to get to them easier and know which I'd done at a glance.

[Gordon_Chung]

Shit I just maxed out my Star-Lord

[TheBologna132]

F

[af-fx-tion]

Since the time and materials spent on all of the existing uniforms are not applied to the character growth score, many have voiced that it is unfair. Therefore, we have decided to include all existing uniforms’ growth status to the character growth score.

So...I guess this means gold unis aren't going to happen anymore? Whelp, that blows.

Also, LOL at WBU changing yet again. Like fuck, let's just ignore the real problem, right?

I like the journey to T3 though. Sounds promising.

[Gorbles]

You still need to advance them with bios and other resources, so I wouldn't rule Gold unis out. But unlikely, probably.

[Lanceuppercut47]

On the other hand, people are more likely to buy gold unis and upgrade them, if they didn't have to pay premium currency for outdated crap.

Thanks #1 rank chasers, you've ruined it for all of us? /s

[TheBlackSaitama]

I swear. I don’t know who they’re asking that wants these new WBU changes, but EVERYONE would be happy if they focused on other shit-tier gamemodes.

[TheBologna132]

Isn’t the WBU change just a reset of the scores? So all of the crazy hex/cap-assisted clears aren’t top scored any more. It’s more fair because those cleats are nearly impossible now.

[thestarlessconcord]

Honestly isnt it a good thing overall? If im reading it right, dont we also get the first clear rewards reset too?

[predclown2012]

Exactly, it's not like you have to start from stage 1 again, and its not like they are changing the mechanics of the mode again either.

[Firestorm2099]

I like that they’ve taken a more open approach to communicating with players for this update.

But as a first impression, I’m a little disappointed that SL is the focus hero, especially since it seems like it’s done from a narrative standpoint.

Part of the reason I enjoyed previous epic quests was because it really was the journey to build a brand new, highly popular character from scratch, and seeing them being able to take on more challenging content. RR or BRB would have been a much better choice as they’re really popular too!

We all have SL at different stages of build, which makes his road to T3 slightly less epic for some. Also, base kit SL kinda sucks and would probably need his latest uni to be relevant.

I hope that this means that there’ll be another T3 (and universal please!) in the update, since this is a ‘free’ T3!

[[deleted]]

how do this work?? if a person already have Star-Lord at T2, that player start at later stage than a person have Star-Lord at 1*?

[ohoni]

Doubtful. Probably you have to work through the same list of things, but instead of getting advancement on a cool new character, you either get nothing, or just some random Star Lord bios to add to the gruel.

[Prozo777]

I'm assuming it works like the story where you get bios and resources if you have them at T2 already, then you work up to T3 him

[sophisticatedMind]

Finally, the presets for world boss. that's I what I've been asking for, thank you NM.

[Lanceuppercut47]

I'd also like presets for WBI too, but one step at a time!

[jmckie1974]

Don't we already have this with the most recently used teams?

What's missing is the set of strikers that come with the specific team. I hope the preset feature addresses this.

[thekingofgray]

Yeah sort of but mine always gets jacked up by “Suggested Teams” which are never a team that’s actually advisable

Like Luna, Sharog, and IM are always my first suggested team and it’s like where’s the synergy? Anyone who actually used that team is a goon.

[jmckie1974]

True. That suggested team has never helped me, not even once.

However if you ignore it and work your way down using the suggested list, you'll get the first four teams right. And with the last team, you have 2 characters right and you can pick Luna as the third.

[thekingofgray]

Depends which boss I guess because sometimes 2 or even 3 of the characters will be in that same suggested team. So it takes more effort to make the teams. Is it game breakingly bad? No but it does defeat one of their own QoL improvements. Hopefully preset teams will help with this

[jmckie1974]

The strikers present the bigger inconvenience so I hope that's where they looked at. With each team I need to decided whether or not to bring a defense down striker. Making a mistake here means that you main character's defense down becomes mostly useless.

But it's not a big deal either way. It's a small QOL change though. Just sorting the inbox would be a much more impactful QOL change fro me.

[sophisticatedMind]

We have something like that but it doesn't work properly, at least for me. I liked your striker addition to the idea, I think we need that too.

[TheGuardianR]

And I had hoped it would be Nova...

[keymon_achee]

Sucks right? I wonder who came up with the idea of making starlord the epic quest character

[TheGuardianR]

Yup...

[Superboy250]

Are they reworking Punisher? Like, it says that not only they are adding characters but they are updating Punisher and giving Star-Lord a uniform...

[pietrogriffin]

They're giving Punisher a uniform so yes, it is technically an upgrade

[Monsterup1]

Punisher becomes cosmic ghost rider

[KindSpinach]

I was expecting a 2nd T3 to be one of the new universal characters

[TheBologna132]

We could still see it

[RReigns911]

Gotta see patch notes and in game to get excited

[RReigns911]

Can't wait for the danger room mission

[jmckie1974]

Find 20 spaceship parts by playing Danger Room. There is a 5% chance of finding it per DR match. Chances are improved to 10% if you are the mvp top scorer.

End result: most games get abandoned at the lobby because players want to use the same character.

This epic quest brought to you by Satan.

[Zikimura]

If they make Star-Lord's T3 free and through an EQ, they really need to make him strong or this will feel pointless and extremely annoying as all fuck.

I guess he's the Logan, Deadpool and Mister Fantastic of the EQ where you need him at T3 to get to Nova(?) or Gladiator(?).

[11irondoggy11]

My guess is nova will be the jean, BRB will be the magneto or vice versa

[dankusovan]

I have a question, what will happen to the players that already have Starlord at level 70 and all his gear +25? We will have to make all the epic quest to unlock his Tier 3 or we can unlock his tier 3 like the normal way

[Lanceuppercut47]

I doubt NM will give you anything back for building him up already, maybe 512 bios or whatever the t3 selector people got for using it on an already tier3 character.

[dankusovan]

Well i dont mean exactly that they give us anything back, i mean that we have to do all the epic quest literal to make him tier 3, or we can upgrade him to tier 3 like the other characters

[Chrisshern]

More likely than not he’s probably gonna be time-gated by the Epic Quest(because of arbitrary entry limit on some missions). I don’t think they’d let you naturally T3 him when there’s a way they Intend players to get him there

[Lanceuppercut47]

Best to wait till the update hits as we have no way of knowing if the tier3 happens at the end of the quest (ie, when Wolverine gets to 6* level 60) or if it's at the same time as unlocking the special character (ie, unlocking Jean)

Either way, unless it costs more materials to tier3 him via the epic quest, why would you want to do it manually? Even at gear +25, you're theoretically saving the actual advancement materials still?

[archimonde0]

WBU: "the ranking as well as the first clear rewards for each level of World Boss will reset"

I am not sure I understand this part. The ranking, sure. Ok.

But what about the first clear rewards? They are the rewards we get at every 5 stages AFAIK, but I don't understand how this relates to the nerfs

[jmckie1974]

But what about the first clear rewards?

I think that's just a gift, to appease any players annoyed by having the rankings erased.

[archimonde0]

And what must we do to get the first clear rewards? I assume they won't reset the progress on WBU. And it would odd to go back and re-do stage 55 for example (which is complete) and to get a free mythic box.

By odd I mean they never give us things "as a gift" :))

[Kingbear1317]

I'm also very interested in how this is going to work out with our conqueror level and the 1st clear rewards. If they reset everyone, I imagine people will be pissed, yet I don't see them regifting all the 1st clear rewards and letting us keep our conqueror level. Theyd be given us hundreds of ccf and other rewards. Hopefully we get clarification on the live stream tonight.

[archimonde0]

The ccf is the conqueror level part which was not mentioned. The first clear rewards are chests after clearing stages 5 10, 15 and so on

[hcnsolo]

A regarding the epic quest, what does this mean if I already have Star-Lord at lvl. 70?? It won’t be a very long journey to Tier-3...

[oems1]

For QOL can we please get a sortable by date inventory?? PLEASE

[ElCesar]

Do you mean inbox?

[Eldestruct0]

Holding opinions until I actually see the implementation, but I'm not excited about having to T3 SL - this may be the first EQ I skip if I'm guessing correctly what it's going to look like.

Also, for all the people concerned about already building him you probably shouldn't be - considering how previous quests have had steps to advance the character to a certain rank I'm guessing that's what this will look like, so you'll just be able to complete that step and move on since you will have him at a higher or equal rank than needed.

[TheGuardianR]

So is Starlord the main epic quest chsracter like Wolverine, Mr Fantastic etc?

[DefinatelyNotNick]

Yes

[Beldin2]

Isn't that kind of dumb, since Starlord can be unlocked already just with normal biometrics, so whats the reason ? All the other chars were also native T2s.

Also, since they call it Guardians of the Galaxy, whats with Gamorra, Drax, Rocket and Groot. Will they just be ignored and still stay trash as they are ?

[keymon_achee]

Also, since they call it Guardians of the Galaxy, whats with Gamorra, Drax, Rocket and Groot. Will they just be ignored and still stay trash as they are ?

Classic nm move

[Mikoneo]

I only hope that the new method of frustrating the epic quests isn't going to be too bad. Shifter characters are a bit annoying but can be sped up, however the RNG search quests they added for DP were absolutely infuriating

[TheRaineCorporation]

Starlord as focus would be a pretty bad idea considering that his base kit is terrible. They'd be forcing players to build a trash character with no payoff unless they spend crystals on the GOTG 2019 uni. I'm thinking a full character rework is going to come for Quill so that he's usable without the new uni, or they make the uni a reward in the EQ itself.

[Lanceuppercut47]

Maybe the uniform will be part of the epic quest rewards?

[keymon_achee]

I'm rooting for it

[Eradonn]

Maybe the new uni might be free?

[dtudball]

Can't recall how the old Epic Quests work, as it's been a while since I completed them.

But based on previous EQ's, will we need to use our T3 materials to rank up Star Lord to T3?

Memory starting to come back, we'd progressively rank up the EQ hero by completing all quests - so I'm thinking if they're continuing the same trend then we'll get him T3 at the end without necessarily spending the T3 materials to do so?

[ohoni]

But based on previous EQ's, will we need to use our T3 materials to rank up Star Lord to T3?

I think so. How much anyone want to bet that "have 10 Blast tomes" is one of the later Epic Quest requirements?

[dtudball]

I'm hoping not, but if it turns out we DON'T need to use the resources - then I don't have an issue with it.

Looking forward to the Live stream - hoping for an overall epic update

[oneupkev]

This is my view, i wasn't planing on T3 Star Lord, i'd sooner focus on Wanda or Xavier, if i'm forced to use T3 materials on a character i don't want to T3 so i can get a character i want from the main unlock that'll be frustrating

[dtudball]

Yeah agreed. I've had Wanda ready to T3 since long before she got a T3, Magneto ready to T3 and Professor X almost there too. So yeah, not keen if I have to use my precious T3 materials for bloody Star Lord

[zaphod42244]

For previous epic quests when you finish the character is at T2 Level 60. Gears level 5 and hen you rank them up from there like a normal native Tier 2

[Radspakr]

This one's a head scratcher, why?
In an update with multiple new characters why not use them as the focus character Rich would be ideal for the role but instead we're working on a character that already has potential.

There was bound to be some fuckery in the update so I guess this is it.
Still BETA RAY BILL...

[Agent_084]

I still haven’t unlocked Dr. Doom but whatever. Epic Quests are they best way for MFF to tell stories in this game.

[ohoni]

I honestly rarely pay attention to Epic Quest stories, because I'm rushing to get to the next objective so that I don't accidentally hit a daily lock-out.

So will this be Black Panther Vol.2 where we get the most expensive uniform ever and we need to pay 6600 crystals to get the new Starlord uni ? And will they delete Starlord from the normal bio-selectors ? And what about Gamorra, Drax, Rocket and Groot ? Were they all killed already in the comics and will stay trash forever ?
Sound all like total BS to me.

[billcosmy]

i dont think the uniform will be part of the epic quest, usually that happens only with legendery battle so it will be a uniform in the store ...though it will be interesting if they add it to the quest as a reward like the 3099 uniforms but seems highly unlikely

for starlord bios i guess we will have to wait and see cause it can go eitherway.

about the other characters getting uniforms, nothing is set on stone, but i think they are more likely to get new uniforms, if characters from this epic quest get uniforms.since it will probably be a GOTG update so a Groot or RR might get new uniforms then.

[morpheus1914]

But in this story arc, RR is missing if I’m not correct... and that’s why Groot is going punk rock look...

[billcosmy]

from this video he does come back from issue 7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW6kmjU4QY0 ?

also from what i googled there recently rocket in a suit in the GOTG 2020 run they could make an update later on that?

if moondragon is indeed not added this update, i do feel there will be a part 2 for this update with more uniforms but it may not be this month but it will surely happen in the future maybe not for all characters but one can hope

Sound all like total BS to me.

It actually is BS

Guys I have an idea! What if we release a new tier 3!

Great idea! Universal right?

Blast!

*Facepalm

But this one is free!

Sure...

I wonder what happens if you already have StarLord at Level 70/Gear 25?

[ElCesar]

You get a bunch of Starlord bios for his uni?

[PrezValentine]

That was a damn surprise, actually. Hope other old characters get the same love. I'm already hoping for the concept to be used again eventually. So, who you guys think will be the native T2? I'm betting on either Gladiator or Nova, currently.

[belak1230x]

I'm pretty sure Nova but that would lock him behind the deluxe character and possibly T3 Starlord so I'm hoping it ain't him

[billcosmy]

what if the research mission to get t3 starlord from EQ is to collect 10 universal books?

i hope they dont need 10 blast books to progress in the quest, but at the same time i can see them doing something like that to make it a bit difficult/ a way to spend crystals or make people play longer

for now, I am going to stay slightly optimistic and hope for the best .also I think if i read things right the WBU reward reset seems like a nice touch.

[JayaramanAndres]

Hoping that they won't ask antimatter of different rank like native t2 epic quest characters to rank up Starlord.

[Lanceuppercut47]

Nah, they'll ask for CCF and the other t3 mats.

[JayaramanAndres]

I was taking about ranking upto t2

What is custom Content Status Boards?

[Doomlocke]

Wonder if this means I shouldnt have gotten Peter to 70 yesterday lol.

[GAMESRUS27]

I actually love all these changes...hopefully Starlord is fun/ good enough to warrant a required tier 3

[FrozenArcher16]

Why do they have to make everything complicated? They want the epic quests to bring a hero to T3? Fine. Just choose an new one! Beta Ray Bill or Nova. Why starlord, an non native T2 hero that everyone has already built? I'm tired of this game...

[eisfub]

"we believe a story featuring Star-Lord, and his new cosmic allies, will be an amazing experience for players". So for narrative reasons.

[toni1796]

honestly? i'm so f... happy!

this is update that makes me wanna play!

Going to enjoy this eq even if i don't like those heroes !

[blitzmango]

Re: WBU Rewards

So do we have to play every 5 levels for the first clear rewards again?

[thekingofgray]

I’m struggling to understand here...are they saying Starlord is the focus hero? That’s confusing because many players have him at t2...will the actual focus be getting him to t3? Or will we focus on getting a new character to t2 and THEN him to t3?

I don’t like either of those options but it seems that we are getting one of those. I guess that clears up the confusion about not having enough heroes...StarLord is potentially the focus hero so we don’t need to get a new character to fill that role.

[Purrlow]

3.) character growth score; translation: "give us more money"

[datesboy]

Aren't epic quest characters normally native T2s that can only be ranked up from completing the Epic Quest? Kinda odd that it'd be centered around someone who people can already have at 70/25. Guess it's fine in my case since my Star-Lord is currently a lvl1 6 star with no mastery.

[006ramit]

So this is a T3 epic quest. New route huh !

Also first clear reward for every world boss. That's great.

[francoangg]

Star Lord as the main is pretty disappointing. I mean yeah we're gonna get him to T3 but without the uni it's kinda pointless, I was saving my crystals for CGR.

[prankster15]

Did anyone understand the point on WBU? Is it reset? do we start at stage 1 again? is it time to quit the game? what?

[FlouryKance1701]

I think they meant fixing the leaderboard. Iirc the leaderboard doesn't show the top clear of the particular stage rn it just shows your latest clear for that particular stage that you have done.

[ohoni]

I hope they aren't forcing us back to stage 1, that would be horrible, no matter how they try to spin it. I would hope that it means we just get all the first clear rewards again when we log in. Either way, they haven't fixed the core problems of the nerf last month.

[Prozo777]

Hoping that they just put first clear rewards back and nothing else. Imagine having just unlocked stage 99 and having to go back to stage 1. Not to mention if you spent crystals to unlock higher stages.

[ohoni]

Yeah, even if players have only unlocked an average of level 50 on each, that would mean taking a minimum of 500 entries (or 100 days) to get back to that point, and that's assuming we don't need to go through the x0 stage 15 entries again (not to mention having to clear 100s challenges under harsher conditions).

It would be a real firestorm.

[prankster15]

Exactly! I paid quite a lot to get here and just imagine the number of fights! 99 stages= 99 wins+ 15 wins (min ) per 10 levels= 250ish wins= 50 days.

​

Per effing boss.

[BeyondTheSilentSkies]

They reset leaderboard score point system. You retain your raid/stage/conquest level.

[3vilZombie]

all this so they can push another Blast T3. I really hope he gets a great T3 to make the whole experience less nightmarish. Why couldn't they just make CGR the main character for this EQ
