    My guess would be SW simply because she is in Avengers 2, and Turul has seen her in the files longer.

    BTW, does anyone else have this fear that the rumored PVE is going to be a heroic to make it "balanced" for the alliances? Avengers 2 characters only?

    There's no need to do that because the overall event requires you to do a certain amount of damage to the boss, so while you can make it hard by requiring 5 million damage while only using Bagman, you can do the same thing by requiring the alliance to do 5 billion damage with their whole roster. I'm pretty sure we'll have the Avenger 2 guys in essential/teamup node (best guess is 3 nodes for QS + SW + IMHB). Hopefully if D3 is smart they'd make those nodes teamup as in this case, since you're trying to maximize the damage done it is obviously quite advantageous if you've the required character as opposed to a loaner.

    The part of Quicksilver is being played in MPQ by Gary Busey.

    Serious question....
    The forthcoming Scarlet Witch HAS to have some sort of power that makes Quicksilver stronger, right? Right????
  • Well, she does warp reality....

    (Kidding, i have long learned not to judge characters until i've given them a fair try myself, and only won one for him)

    Do you really want her to have anything to do with the Gimmicky Bagsilver? If I were her, I'd cut ties with all family(especially since Magneto keeps getting nerfed)
  • We're probably looking at another set of back-to-back-to-back character releases: Vision->Hulkbuster->Scarlet
    Or switch Scarlet and Vision.

    Best we can hope for is that Ultron will just be an unplayable boss character, like Gorgon.

    It is my sincere hope that they don't mess up the Vision. I have been waiting for his release for a long time. They really messed up Bagsilver. He would have been great with his initial powers but nooooo cant have a good character lol. Hopefully SW works well with her father and leaves her brother in the dust.

    the new PVE will have a "bossfight" with each Avengers(2) member. So its wise to collect QS or SW, or IMHB

    Ultron comes as sentries as goons, an unplayable Boss, and a collectable.

    SW powers: ( purpletile.pngicon_question.gif ) greentile.pngbluetile.png
    - aoe dmg + random stun (1+)
    - selected tile + random adjacent tiles destroyed (genAP)
    - (PASSIVE) creates a CD if not already present, which turns random adjacent BASIC tiles to pink
    (power / color distribution unknown)

    more info about other characters later icon_e_smile.gif

    SW would look fine, however i fear devs will set the passive too "safe", with the new design pattern.
    2 tuns / 4 tiles is the lowest which i can approve.

    If these colors are correct, then SW will be the first green-blue-p(ink)urple character, which...would be the last unused three color combo.

  • That Quicksilver cover is about nine million times better than the current one. I wish they'd use more classic covers.

    Yeah, I would love to see more 70s/80s covers, as well as more early roster Avengers (I'm pretty happy to have Beast in the game, and happier that he's kind useful now, I'd love to have Angel and Wonderman in the mix. I assume we'll be getting Ant-Man after the AoU brouhaha has calmed down.)

    Is that fourth one some kind of parody/joke? Looks like the box art to a bad 90s computer game.

    3* Daken is quality, Ares is slightly better, Quiksilver is probably equal quality but I don't see the need for change so soon and 2* Daken is terrible.

    Even that would be fantastic, what I worry about is:

    2* Cyclops : which no one will want to put on their roster, so few go for?
    Then, he'll be essential for the 4*: T50 for individuals, of course.
    Then the 4* will finally get you the 3* Scarlet Witch.

    That way, they can be sure that the vets have the least chance of both the 4* and the 3*. That's the way these things seem to be going.

    It was properly a placeholder image until they got rights cleared for the image they really wanted to use (or maybe that in reverse?).

    That being said, I pretty much agree with your assessment. 3* Daken's cover is perfect. Yah, he looks like a freakin' mongoloid....but that's because he does look like a freakin' mongoloid - and that shot captures the whole 'pheromone rage' thing perfectly.

    Both Ares covers are pretty bland imo, but this one is maybe a little calmer on the eyes (as in it's a little less hectic). To be honest, I kinda like this one.

    Both QS covers are meh. New one is extra meh to me because it just looks goofy. It's over less aesthetically pleasing to me.

    Last but not least, that 2* Daken cover is horrendous. Vomit.

    Is that a new cover for Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, or Vision...?
