    This might not actually be the worst thing in the world: fights are now less trivial due to no one ever spending money on +3 all boosts, which should make pvp events less of a grindfest and involve more strategy.

They knew the backlash was going to happen regardless, so why not tell us beforehand so they at least have the being open thing going for them?

    Overall I'd understand the changes even if i despise them, but in the middle of this broken beyond belief PVE event we have going on this is just a full on kick in the nuts and telling the player to go screw ourselves
    . Worst part was that I was going to tell the GF some good news about the game hoping to get her to come back and play again, but once she hears about this ...I highly doubt i have much prayer convincing her to come back again :-/

    Yeah, i guess im not as angry because ive been tanking the pve event down to level 40s (which is a chore in of itself). Being boosted is 100% required for consistency when dealing with 230s though, so i would probably be pissed if i were in your shoes.

    I think its being blindsided that the worst part. They mention all these things in the update and disclose other data trying to give the appearance of being completely forthcoming and then wack you over the head with increases.

    So much this.

    I've killed my whole roster multiple times, and I've never seen it as low as 40. I think I'm done with the PvE with this change.
  • Wow. Just wow. It's like the make something better while making something worse. 1 step forward and 2 steps back is no way to go about it.

    This. Any explanation devs?

    Exactly these devs haven't learned the art of tweak only a few things at a time to see how it affects the live servers. (this way you have at least SOME semblance of a control environment to compare to while having an apples to apples comparison) Rather they'd throw a kittyload of changes at us at once and see **** comes out the other side. Just so pissed right now..ugh

    Pretty much my thoughts. It's interesting that I've spent far more money on Marvel Heroes in a much shorter time period. Think I'll go punch some faces.
  • At least we will be saving iso.

    Did anyone notice that Thor and Wolvie are selling back for 1/2 the iso you put into them plus some HP?
  • I always thought boosts should've been nerfed for PvP but I don't think they should've been affected by PvE. Should've just put a CD on using them while in PvP.

    Doing the Patch required mission would be pretty painful without starting with 6g. Sometimes you can die before ever matching 9g.
  • Man, I've been fighting hard to stay at the top of each sub event and the main. I've been #1 in every one so far and was #1 in main even after the cluster that was the main event extension release. Now this? Seriously considering just walking away.

    D3 beats me because D3 loves me.

    Perhaps because everyone was reasonably happy with the wolve thor changes they thought they cant have that and screwed us a different way sp we would all moan again

    No, only upper level level players, maxed out thor/wolverine holders and anti ThorVerine ePeeners were happy about the nerf. Anyone still stuck in the 2** ghetto of mediocre preforming heroes is hating it. Guess which one frequents the boards more.

    hey d3, did you have time to stealth in an enemy level update while you were in there funbalancing everything?

    i cant wait for the forum cheerleaders to start white-knighting up the place.

    Im trying to figure out why they didnt tell us beforehand, and here are the possibilities ive come up with:
    1. They forgot. This seems unlikely given the recent memories of the rag fiasco.
    2. They were afraid of the backlash and thought that no one would notice if it were introduced stealthily. Unlikely because they should have known that backlash would occur regardless and that its better to just tell us right away. Its also a pretty obvious change. The backlash would also be less significant if they told us about it earlier.
    3. Some event forced them to add this in last minute, making it so that even if they were to tell us, it would be too close to when the change is actually added. Maybe some higherup told them that they needed to monetize more or something.

    Im hoping that its option 3, since the first two would be extremely disappointing.
  • Ah, ****.
    This stinks.

    you can sell it for 550HP and buy 15 boosts +3 to all icon_e_smile.gif
  • Just another way to separate the 1% from the 99% ...
    Ridiculous change. If it's not a pure $$ drive make pop buffs cost $$ while performing are free. Imagine competing in the Elite Avenger bracket now.

    I'm at 94 day reward and beginning to question playing anymore.

    I wish I didn't update when Steam asked me. Although the level of the enemies dropped significantly in main and sub for me.
    The boost cost increase though is a direct nerf to all characters with high cost abilities.

    I have only 1 +3 to all boost. I will cherish it.
  • Yep, this is a Joke. D3 has seen the last of my money. This game has changed at least 4 times in the last month in ways to specifically make me pay more than I already have.

    It's not happening, uninstalling now.
