IS that a hint for a Starlord character?

Unknown

The sad part is the genius at MPQ would make him a 5*, thus making the new post 500pt encounter 100% Xforce/4thor/Starlord...

All fluff, no game fixes.

That's my guess, based on turul's datamining.

Based on some of the info turul dug up, I wouldn't be surprised if he reshapes the meta. Subject to change, of course.

I hope not. I would much rather see a new x-man or villain.

Trisul

I was always surprised that Cyclops and Jean Grey weren't in the game. (Well, I guess it made sense since the game originally only covered Dark Reign.)

There's obviously a huge fan base for X-Men, I'm surprised they don't tap that well more often.

Actually, character bloat (especially for Marvel U) isn't a big problem (and in fact, could be a big plus!), if only:
1) Roster slots weren't so expensive
2) Covers didn't come at a trickle
3) 3*+ Token drop rates were better

If this is true then we would have 4 out of the 5 core members of the GotG yet still only 1/2 of the Fantastic Four...

Any info about his moveset? *praying for synergy with my high cover chars*

I'm much more excited about GotG chars than Fantastic Four, have you seen the movies?

I'll point you to this previous thread: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=21727&start=80#p281980

This post sums up exactly why they are pushing GOG and not FF. Recent smash hit movie release (which was well done), a whole new fan base on charecters that are too tied into the rest of the marvel universe vs a couple guys missing from a team that's been around from the 60's and has had virtually no fan base or marketing success in the last 40 years.

If it wasn't for silver surfer I wonder how relevant people would feel the FF are? They aren't my favorite, but I get that RR is one of the top brains around and the team has been a part of the biggest or most important storylines, but the fan base will line up for Starlord covers...not the rubber man's covers...lol.

STARLORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL TRY TO GET AS MANY COVERS FOR HIM AS I CAN!

Trisul

Did not expect him to be 4*. Hmm.

orbitalint

Grrrr. Another 4*?! Come on. This top 50 to release a new 4 star and then forgetting about them is nonsense. They better address this 4* transition soon because there is only one event to ever realistically get them. Expecting top 1 after that is ridiculous.

Once a month 4 star event maybe? It would at least give the impression you want to bridge this divide in the game. Something besides this method.

Unknown

Well, I had been looking forward to getting him. That was when I thought he was going to be a 3*.

So, Drax shouldn't be too far off at this rate, right?

So what you are saying is character bloat is actually a huge problem.

Uh, what? No, it's okay in principle, but other mechanics of the game (roster slot costs, cover drop rates) limit the ability to manage/collect them, and makes it frustrating.

This is an extreme example, but if heroic tokens had a guaranteed 3* every token and roster slots cost iso, there would be absolutely no problem with character bloat.

And no revenue. They need to sit down and think long and hard about a middle ground.

Right, I'm merely saying that new characters CAN be a good thing. People complaining about how many new characters there are should really be complaining at the other stuff that actually makes having new characters annoying.
