    I understand some may like Ice or Joe better, it makes sense since he was with the game from the beginning. I will continue to do my best and try not to let you guys down.

    I get my info from various sources and play around with some of the abilities myself with a debug build. Sometimes before the build goes live or after I put answers together for interview questions things change and I will always do my best to correct it if it happens.

    Thank you for saying this. As I said in my post, I mean no offence, it's just a particular preference. But since you seem committed to do better by us, I'll give you a small criticism that hopefully will help you in that path of improvement: Please participate and interact more with us? When you just arrived and we told you that's what we had come to expect from IceIX, you said that you totally expected to fill in those big shoes but you needed some time to learn the ropes and grow into your role. I don't mean to sound demanding but it's been 4 months, a third of a year, and you interact in the forums little beyond the new character threads and the wallpapers thread. We already have David Hi-Fi for all kinds of (mostly) one-sided interactions and corporate announcements which are all good and necessary, but we expected we could have again someone speaking with candour, passion and commitment to us the players now that the developers seem forbidden or unwilling to speak to us, and we believed that person could be you. We still do.

    Great interview, but you did spoil one of our most fun things to do here on the forums (outside of raging about little things).. so i will rage about a little thing.. his PVP name was in the interview, no fun "guess the pvp name" thread for him, where we get to make silly rhymes and awful puns, that would all go over Drax's head ( icon_lol.gif )

    Great art, and sounds like he will be fun to use, pair him with Gobby and you get to keep your CD tiles!

    I don't get it. Why Drax, why now? Guardians 2 has only just started pre-production and about a year too late for the first one. I honestly don't believe it is because he has been "highly requested" . Series and movie tie-ins I understand but of all the characters on the Marvel universe this is at a most random time.

    Maybe it's a civil war spoiler. Team cap!

    Just in time for Civil War, the movie he plays a pivotal role in!

    ...
    Ah man! Spoiler alert... Maybe he is the one that gets the peace treaty talks going.

    But nothing goes over his head! His reflexes are too fast, he would catch it.

    Drax has a new comic book series out. That's "why now".

    Also, probably tying up loose ends.

    He is suddenly showing up in lots of Marvel related games, crossing over in cartoons, and merch.. they are pushing him right now, so we get him.

    Pylgrims makes a great point. Cthulhu the forum really does not know you yet. The people on the forum want and really enjoy it when you are on the forum answering questions and interacting with us. It makes me at least feel like the voices of the forum are being heard. It also allows us to understand your vision for the game and where you want see it going and why. The effort to make the game better is there, the translation on why you are making changes and how you are going to address players concerns is what we really want. When you are able to communicate with us more it is always better. I appreciate you for consistently trying to improve the game, even if some of the changes you have tried I don't agree with.

    Maybe just to save time for Cthulhu, we can do a single thread for him, AMA style, where people ask him a bunch of questions, and then he answers some of them when appropriate.

    Not a bad idea. What about that, mr. Elder God?
