11/5/2014 *** Mystique Raven Darkholme
I started right after the first anniversary. I didn't realize it then, I didn't look for the forums until a few months later. I wish I had realized he importance of an alliance back then. I might have progressed a lot faster than I did if I had found one.0 -
10/28/2013 ** Steve Rogers Captain America
I remember being super stoked firing up the game one of the first times I played and saw Cap was available, since he is my favorite character.1 -

I don't recall the exact date I started, but the first character release I recognized as a character release event was:
10/23/2014 *** Blade Daywalker
The first release after I joined the forums:
Electra (unkillable) 12/15/2014 0 -
6/22/2015 **** The Thing Classicbroll said:Fun game, post the first new character release after you started.
You sometimes forget exactly how long you've been playing this game for. I started playing on June 6th 2015, four days after the release of Carnage. Incidentally, I now have 19 4* champions, yet I have still to champ either of these two. I need one more for Carnage and 3-4 more for Thing IIRC. In those early days, I remember the constant frustration of getting 20 iso for a win instead of the much better rewards you were aiming for, and the struggle to defeat that level 140 Ragnarok at the end of the Prologue mode. I also vaguely recall the IM40 update, and how his usefulness suddenly increased overnight.
UPDATE: Carnage is 4* champ number 20 as of Nov 17th! Thank you SHIELD Resupply for giving me the black cover I was missing

6/16/2014 *** Sentry Dark Avengers
I started shortly before his release.. I remember pulling his cover and my friend who had been playing m before, quit in jealousy! Man.. that one red cover was awesome! It would kill everyone! His PvP was my first PvP event.. gather 10 red and kill everyone.. the healthpacks.. the glory

IT wasn't a weeklong release event. As I recall it was an early run of Heroic mode: Oscorp, when you reached the last nodes you got to fight the new version of Daken there as a preview. I think it led immediately into the first run of Prodigal Sun that introduced Sentry. Late May 2014 sounds right since I know the first PS run was when the wife and I were celebrating ten years together. I'd guess maybe 5/8 for Daken is I can't guess 5/15.aesthetocyst said:vcorsac said: ... I think 3* Daken's date is wrong....
I think you're right, that it's wrong.
2/4/14 is too early. The lazy / gold / classic characters started later that spring. Probably a typo by whoever it was that compiled that data.
Unfortunately, the compiled list of new release PvEs was trashed by the forum port (sorry, rakingucd), sor can't follow hat bread crumb trail. And a "feature" of this totally aweseom forum platform is to date all older posts by only month and year, so N&A indicates he was announced in "March 2014" and the character thread shows much discussion in "April 2014".
The old event threads are just about impossible to sort out ... title formatting all gone, and now they are in order of last reply ... can't find the release PvE.
BUT.... can find his first PvP, which ran 5/16-5/19, discussed here:
https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/7660/fatal-attraction-s1-daken-event-may-16-may-19#latest
So he was released before 5/16/14. But discussion there recounts release of covers having been screwed up.
Looking at a calendar, Thursdays in May 2014 prior to the 16th were 5/1/14, 5/8/14, and 5/15/14.
Obviously 5/15/14 is too late if his PvP was the next day. If it was a weeklong release event, it probably wasn't 5/8/14.
How does 5/1/14 sound?
The first character introduced after I started playing was OBW, some time in November 2013. I don't think the dates on the list are very accurate for those early releases though.

Did some digging in the New and announcements forum and found this: https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/7080/heroic-chapter-4-osborn-update - This is Daken's release event.
There is no longer a date on this post that I can see, but given that it is posted between announcements called "Patch notes - 5/8" and "Patch notes - 5/9", I am willing to bet it was posted on one of those dates and Daken's relase did indeed begin on 5/8 2014.

I had some corrections later in that thread that I can repost here:aesthetocyst said:
There is a note above the list I presented, cautioning about those early dates, and referring to the original thread it was posted in for the nature of those dates: https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/comment/608781/#Comment_608781Quebbster said: ... I don't think the dates on the list are very accurate for those early releases though.
Essentially, those early dates are the dates their character threads were created. The character thread is a convention started by the players, not the devs. Those early pioneers started compiling and posting this information very early in the game's life, but the threads were made when someone had the time, and for the characters that were in-game at launch, those threads would have been made weeks later.
That said, everything from Nov 2013 on should be accurate, except for messy cases like 3Daken.
If you have corrections, please do share them! The forum port reduced all the dates on old posts to month/year only (jeebus aich kee-rist!), so we can't even go back and dig up accurate dates any more.
I suppose I should bring that list up to date .... maybe later today
Quebbster said:I know Original Black Widow was released after the start of the game, I remember her release. I Think Iron Man 40 was Before her.
Looking back through the Announcements forum, the earliest mention I can find of a new character is **Captain America** on October 18th, 2013. This was very soon after the release of the game and may in fact be the first character added. A week later, on October 25th, Moonstone was mentioned. On November 4th, a week later, they mention Iron Man 40, I Think this was when he was released. Then it's Original Black Widow on November 15th (at this Point I know I was playing).
On November 24th, there's a mention of a Newcomers tournament that has Iron Man, OBW, Moonstone, Captain America and Modern Hawkeye boosted. I guess that means Hawkeye was also added after the release of the game.
Also on November 24th, Invisible Woman was announced.
So let's try to apply that to your list!

I moved Thor (Marvel NOW) and Daken (Classic) to their proper place as far as we can determine.
Devil Dinosaur is arguable since he was first seen as a playable character in The Hunt, but that version was a bit different than the one that was released on the anniversary (the first version was a threestar character that had a green active power and had green, red and black as its strong colors), so a case could be made for Devil being placed in October 2014.
I believe Nick Fury's official release was in August 2014, but he had been "previewed" since his covers had been the top 100 Alliance rewards for three seasons prior to the release. I think he was released in the horrendous Hulk run that tried to squeeze the entire event into a three- or fourday slot, so each sub was only like 10 hours long or something.
I'm also not continuing the list after Medusa...

Just wait until he's the essential PvE character for the third time and you can buy the last black! That should only take two years or more...2 -
If you hover your mouse over the "May 2014" text on the post, it should show a tooltip with a more exact date. In this case May 9, 2014 11:23PM (at least according to my time zone settings).Quebbster said:Did some digging in the New and announcements forum and found this: https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/7080/heroic-chapter-4-osborn-update - This is Daken's release event.

You should be able to do the same for other threads if you're data mining.

Connect it to a mouse? Yeah, I don't have a better idea. It works quite well when you have a moveable cursor though.0 -
Interesting... I wonder how Loki was the first character. Don't you literally have to start with IM35 in the tutorial? How did those 6 days go before IM35 release? Just Beta tests?
0 -
Didn't Loki get a makeover early on? That was Before my time, but it could explain why his thread was the first - people wanted to talk about the new version and how it compared to the old.

Thor Goddess of Thunder **** 10/2/2014
Right around here, I think.0 -
Did anyone grab 5* Thor's release date? I record all these, but I failed to get the exact date on this one while I was on vacation.0
-
Thanks @aesthetocyst I did check the list....at the top of page one, not the one in the middle of page two... lol. I appreciate the assist.0

This is still a top google result. I am looking for a list of all 5 star chars by release date, to figure out which were latest legends together.0
