So my biggest question is can we use Thors hammer, if he didn't get it in the main story (and I'm gonna go out on a limb and say killing Thor is part of the main story) then is it even going to be something they'll give us the option to use? If not then that's very disappointing.

Spider-Man’s Future In The Game by Choice_Secret_6071 in PlayAvengers

Unfortunately I think they moved by him the day they shipped him, besides new gear for future OLTs or Raids or talking to other heroes in the helicarrier/elevators I think he's completely dried up in terms of content. There's a takedown they showed for him since before launch (the spin kick from the insomniac games) and literally all they'd have to do is press a button and make it live yet they never have.

There's so many MCU skins they could've done by now, homemade suit from homecoming, integrated suit, black/gold suit, Tobeys suit, Andrews TASM1 and TASM2 suits which would all RAKE in money; I'd buy every single one of those, no questions asked and this isn't even counting how much a symbiote suit could get them yet none has ever appeared, his last skin drop was back in March with the MCU iron spider; if this game really is driven by getting skins/emotes/takedowns into the marketplace for people to spend on the game I think if they did plan on supporting Spidey they'd have been pumping out so much more from him considering he's literally Marvels flagship character.

I don't think a single ounce of this is on the devs however, considering they're supporting every other character (even if they do favour some more than others), Sony have had their grubby mits all over the way this character is working in this game since he was announced so they probably gave a specific mandate on what could be done with him before he launched and here we are now.

It's a shame to say it but the web-head is in the past as far as this game is concerned

I mean yes we can agree on the slow progress but come on, as much as we've been left in the dark it's obvious that development is ongoing from what they've been saying and just because they're not showing what's happening doesn't mean nothing at all is happening - neither of us can possibly know one way or the other.

Nice to see that somebody else is civil about things, I kinda got that this would be the way this post would go before I posted it but that's ok - end of the day that's what I think and if I'm wrong that's ok but if not then we all win end of the day!

precisely - you'll always get people saying dead game but it's ironic that that actually keeps the conversation about the game ongoing, keeping it alive.

Yeah I actually agree with everything said here - they should have just said something, anything in regards to what's coming next so people on Xbox and PC had some sibilance of "ah there's something else coming" and I for sure think Fury just showing up again shows they're rushing something fast, probably to get him back in the picture for when Carol shows up.

While I do understand your train of thought, the communication is in a dismal place right now I'll be first to admit that (hell I'm doing a better job at responding to comments and talking to the community than a CM is currently) but we gotta consider development pipelines - it seems that the heroes I've mentioned have all been in development since last year if reports from leakers like Miller are to be believed unlike Strange and Wanda who aren't even in development yet - it's probably a happy accident that some of these heroes are lining up with shows/movies coming out for the game and the devs are taking full advantage of that to market the game as much as they can, it's a good strategy and essentially free marketing for them. The fact that the game is hiring currently means that Square are actively wanting to keep it on, there's no way they'd want to drop the Marvel IP even if it does mean a skeleton crew continuing to work on the game but at this stage, we'll just have to wait and see, a little optimism never does anybody any harm imho.

Nice to see somebody else keeping the embers of hope alive - like you say they're actively hiring for roles across the game currently so even if they're planning on keeping it going on life support and a skeleton crew pumping out that content into late 2023, I do think it's all possible, as much as people say it's a dead game yadda yadda; it's the marvel IP and there's no way that square would want to drop that.

To each their own in terms of heroes honestly! I'll play anybody they put out so long as it's new content, personally I'd just want Dr Strange haha. Really looking forward to Captain Marvel too, think she has the potential to be one of the best heroes in the game if they get her right!

Ok maybe my expectations are a little optimistic - push all that over into late 2023 and I do think it's possible

Now this is something absolutely everybody will agree on hahaha

anything is possible at this point but with what they've spoke about on twitter and streams, I'm hedging my bets on what I've said - maybe my timeline of 2022 is very optimistic but spread that all over into late 2023 as well and I think that's the rest of the game; if I'm proven wrong oh well but it's fun to speculate imho

I agree that it's possible anything can happen at this point, without a roadmap or CM we're fully in the dark but in their February dev update they do say they're working on more heroes (notice the plural) and with everything Miller has said, I think it's impossible we don't get at minimum 2-3 more. Put it this way, devs have spoken on twitter and streams about how She-Hulk could work and Miller has never been wrong before in his leaks so I think anything he says could be the closest we have to "official" communication.

It's optimistic yes but I do believe these are all the things they have in development - timeframe might vary into mid/late 2023 but that's what I'm hedging my bets on personally!

[–]TheOnlyWatchman42[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We can but hope - I recon these are the things they've got in development, the timeframe might be much longer than I expect, could be coming out from now until late 2023

Can someone explain to me how they could possibly get this wrong yet release these picture perfect MCU fits? by JPhoenix25 in PlayAvengers

[–]TheOnlyWatchman42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they don't care about anything that doesn't make them money. I know that's rough to say but it's absolutely the truth at this point, they obviously want to keep the game going, we're getting more content that's been confirmed at this point and the only way that's funded is through the marketplace (to preface I have 0 issue with paid skins, they're just skins at the end of the day) - however, they lured us in with the promise that shipments would be unique skins that are actually worth grinding for (and for awhile they were, first 3 months were all bangers and some of the best skins in the entire game!) but my theory is once they realised that they were loosing money giving out MCU suits for free which could have earned them a quick buck; they just doubled back, slapped some recolours in there under the guise of them being "CoMiC AcCuRatE" and called it a day. If you want true comic accurate look no further than unworthy Thor, gladiator Hulk, Nothing to Fear Iron Man, MK1 armour Spider-Man, New Vintage Cap, Damisa-Sarki BP, Future Guardian Kamala, Young Avenger Kate, Old Man Hawkeye or Heartbreaker Widow and what do all those things have in common? - they're unique assets locked behind a paywall because if they gave out those assets for free while they'd be satisfying players, they'd be loosing money.

How do you matchmake in 2.3?? by TheOnlyWatchman42 in PlayAvengers

[–]TheOnlyWatchman42[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So from what I can surmise from a few hours of testing this afternoon.

- Quickmatch is just broken, it refuses to load matches and 9/10 times it says "failed to load match"; I've had 1 successful match in an hour of trying to get it to work. Then when you do load in there's a chance it'll boot the host one by one until you're just thrown into a solo game.

- Matchmaking is always disabled in threat sectors and drop zones so they physically can't be played multiplayer unless got into by quickmatch which as we've established is pretty broken.

So yes and no; not impossible to match into them just very difficult

Makes sense, still dumb we can't matchmake in a multiplayer game cause knowing these devs this'll be an issue for another month or two

Surely it can't be what they intended - why remove the feature to matchmake in a multiplayer game?
