Piecing Together Marvel Puzzle Quest: Rocket & Groot
Quote:
"Marvel.com: And to clarify, Rocket and his herbaceous hombre act as one unit correct? Two characters for the price of one?

Joe Fletcher: Correct, Rocket and Groot are both considered a single character. It’s actually kind of a three for one deal, as Rocket and Groot are also getting their very own Episode in which to shine!"

Here's how it makes sense: released characters become required characters in high-point PvE rounds and buffed in PvP. If you don't keep them, you relinquish the ability to get upper prizes in future contests. There's no rest for the recents.

I get that, but if you don't actually want any of them what's the point?

I'm looking forward to them since I enjoyed the GotG movie.

I know that you're about to hear complaints about so many characters so I'll ask instead: is the rate of new characters due to having solved the "too many characters for heroic packs" issue?

Unknown

I'm having a wide variety of responses to this announcement.

It's a new PVE story!

It's played twice, IN A ROW, to guarantee you'll be sick of it.

The new characters seem pretty cool! Good color combos and looks like they could be fun to play.

But they're three-star characters (I assume) and I'm rapidly running out of room in my roster.

You know what, though? I'm going to go the optimistic route. It's new PVE content. PRAISE BE UNTO THE SUN. Let's just roll with that awesome news and deal with all the other stuff after we get to read I Am Groot a few billion times.

Bit of a shame Groot's powers aren't

I Am Groot
I Am Groot and
I Am Groot.

I know I'm in the minority when I say I love the influx of all the new characters - the main reason I play is as a collector - so as long as they give me more to collect, I'll stay engaged in the game.

Sure it makes it difficult to get all the covers, but you know what? I don't NEED to get all the covers immediately...

The only downside is the expense of new roster slots in my opinion...that should be capped at a reasonable cost - definitely no more than 500HP....

As for this announcement - very psyched about the new characters, the new story, and annoyed with the fact that 4hor is a top prize - how am I gonna sleep (he said sarcastically)...

Nonce Equitaur 2

I've started up character pages for Rocket and Groot and Gamora. I'll fold them into the Character Compendium when there's more info.

As others have said,this would be way more exciting if my first thought wasn't "tinykitty, how am I affording the roster spot."

HailMary

Yay, a 3* who (hopefully) doesn't suck! And a new PVE! It seems like RG basically has upgraded versions of Beast , Hulk , and AWolv . Interesting.

While Gamora also sounds awesome (stun-punch, strikes, and spammy punch?), I'd've thought D3 wasn't going to release yet another pair of new characters in back-to-back PVEs. That's gonna be a bit unpleasant.

Edit: nvm, misread -- the first R&G-story PVE occurs between the RG-rewarding TaT PVE and the Gm-rewarding R&G2 PVE. In that case, BRING IT ON!

Unknown

I like the influx of characters but it'd be even better if there's a reason to use all of them. To be fair the last Simulator Basic I pretty much threw everyone I had at the Hard nodes and just hope someone would accidentally win and that turned out to work surprisingly well until you run out of characters.

Can the devs PLEASE reset scaling for the new PvEs so we can enjoy them?

I'm with you. I love getting new characters and have the opportunity to come up with new teams and combos. Having to buy new slots is a bit of a frustration but I've found I'm able to spend about $20 every 3-4 months and manage just fine. That's a reasonable cost imo.

Dear Mr. Hi-Fi,

-

Event end times Beta testing is set to begin soon. Testing to get underway for improvements to Event end times with the Hulk Versus Event a few days from now.

Beginning with Hulk Event, will Rocket/Groot PVE will be part of the new Ending Time test as well???

I'm also a collector and mostly agree here. The bold is my biggest concern. I have a decent enough stash of HP for the foreseeable future, but the prices on slots 100+ are astronomical. That's still pretty distant in the future for collecting one of each, unlike JCT , but not far enough that it isn't concerning.

Oh man, Am I the only one who is AGAINST it?
There are many characters in thi game already!
Devs, seriously - SLOW DOWN !
You are making progress in this game more and more sluggish.
If I were new player right now, after seeing how many characters there are, I would quit in day 1.

Unknown

Everything has been said already, I don't know what to say or think.

1) The characters look cool, the abilities are yet to be tested. I'm still doubtful about Mystique...
2) As some already said, I'd like to get a life back and some sleep (4THor as Top prizing...)
3) Will they fix the scaling problem for the biggest rosters ?

It's quite obvious grinding Iso like hell will not be enough to cover all these characters from now on...

I hope the new PvE will be cool to play.

Two more new characters? So soon?

Please do something about roster slot costs.

Unknown

Mine are already 1000 HP now.

GrimSkald

Meh. Looking forward to the new PVE, but they introduce new characters so often that it's hard to get excited about anyone specific.

Unknown

I was all excited until I read that RR and Groot are rewards for yet another Thick as Theives PVE. If I sigh any harder I'm going to pass out from lack of oxygen.
