Now Live - Q-Store Update, Mission + Costume Piece rewards Now Live

trailturtle · February 2013

The Lemurian invasion continues! Today's release includes a Questionite store update and a new instanced mission, including costume piece rewards.

Starting at noon today, you can play through a new instanced mission in UNTIL's warehouses. They've been storing tons of confiscated artifacts and technologies in those vaults - exactly the kind of weaponry an invading force could use against Millennium City...

Learn more in the blog post at noon!

As much as i welcome new content, and i don't want to sound ungrateful but, the phoenix project with their awesome news about how they are shaping up with content and stuff (cant say what) and heroes and villains with their project also shaping up nicely with promising things too, AND marvel heroes online which in my opinion is going to kick butt, i have to say that this is rather disappointing, and for a company that should be showing all other competition where the door is you sure are evolving nicely (sarcastically).
Aside from the costume creator and other content like adventure packs and nice power set list, it's all i am really subbed for.
Sorry to sound like a jack "@# but i am just being honest.

EDIT: but i hope there is something exciting in the works for the future, because the trend right now is heroes.

wraithshadow13 · February 2013

where they able to fix the issue with them not unlocking from the previous tread? if not then would it be possible to mention that on the page?

Phoenix project sounds cool, but they have ideas, not a game.

Marvel Heroes isn't an MMORPG. It is a Diablo clone. I am in the closed beta.

nivji · February 2013

I really enjoy this mission it's the only real content since.......don't even remember.
We need more instanced missions like this one.
About MArvel heroes, champions is an mmo, MH is an action game with no RP at all (i'm a closed beta member).

chaelk · February 2013

ok the mission was fun, definately be repeating that with different characters to see how they go.

With Boss Vallo, I was using a glass cannon and after repeated deaths remebered to get him on one side of a barrier and me on the other side. Then fire. Fine until he gets to low points then he locks and resets.

Unless you keep moving when he is near his start platform, he will reset his hps.

Tried him with lightning, he stays on his platform and I can nuke him from outside, sicne he assumes with pyre that I amstanding next to him.

Next: the lemurian costume peices are level and per character. I have one with 2, I used one. Next character it shows as blue. So you need to get the costume for every character

Yes, because no one bothered to actually check if the costume pieces were broken. Like they have been since the launch of On Alert and the Recognition Store.
But hey, we got some repeatable content now.

chaelk · February 2013

at least the mission is fun. I like the big golems and the boss at the end. Even if you can long shot him. but since most of mine are ranged thats not a problem.
Could they please chnage the names on the "shapeshifters" it looks silly seeing a guard with Lemurian shapeshifter over them. kind of gives it away or can I turn off those names?

rokurocaris · February 2013

I would be more happy about these costume drops if the unlock bug had been fixed.

According to Trailturtle the devs are aware of the problem, but the bug seems really hard to fix.

The Gloves and Loincloth unlock for all your characters if I'm not mistaken, so at least you only have to get those once.

spyralpegacyon · February 2013

The boss fight was pretty surprising. Everything's cool and suddenly 'oh #### look at that health bar'. Ferret the squishy scrapper was able to drop him without falling over, but there was a close shave or two.

Of course, when we went after him with five heroes, uh, 'rofflestomp' is a word, isn't it?

Thats your opinion, apparently everybody is in the closed beta how about that eh

I will still like it and they class it as an mmorpg despite what others think, it will definitely be better than most games out there, might even beat this one, who knows.

I am in the closed beta. It is a reskinned Diablo--play style, character classes/powers, and even camera/view are like Diablo. It isn't an RPG.

Heck, you can have a team with all the heroes the same.

I've seen the footage, but doesn't mean i'm not going to not like it, despite all the negative opinions.

Being aware of the thing doesn't make it any different. Maybe someone should have rethink the rewards again then. Putting old and broken pieces as a reward does sound that someone really didn't give a flying fudge.

LOL this has been the issue since a year ago, i keep telling people they will either close the game down later this year or they are still working on neverwinter and once that's out there they will come back and give this game love, but for now we got to put up with this rubbish.

I always get a kick out of absolute statements about games that have not yet been released. It makes me wonder how someone could say that something is definitely the case without having ever played the release version of the game.

Of course replacing, "definitely," with, "potentially," or, "theoretically within the realm of possibility," would make the sentence much more reasonable.

Old costume unlocks... wth?

Again my opinion, as with all things marvel i have faith, it's been compared to marvel ultimate alliance a lot, that's all i need to know, but do have your "kicks" by all means, LOLZ!

so is this update worth coming out of hibernation for?

chaelk · February 2013

ok just did the vault again. my level 27 got L37 gear, the personw ith me also got one 10 levels above him.

can someone please check these drops

wraithshadow13 · February 2013

I've sent in a few on my 40's, and one got a single piece of gear that wasn't worth it, one had his box disappear on opening it(no loot what so ever), one had the loot stuck in the overflow since the over flow wouldn't open to claim it, and the fourth also got a piece of gear that wasn't worth the time either.

So far my odds on the reward for this one aren't that great. At least the broken costume unlocks are easy enough to get....

crypticarmsman · February 2013

I liked the new mission, and also that a new map and enviroment layout was actually made for it. It was fun; and (IMO) we need MORE stuff like this on a regular basis that will also STAY available and not disappear once this event ends.

(And yes, I've read that they want to rotate events, but they said that's a goal - and with the resources they have, it'll probably meet with the same success that they promised with the Boodmoon event running once a month <-- remember that one?)

This was fun content and IMO something that shouldn't be removed from a game that gets so little content added to it in general (and not because of lack of the CO Devs working hard - more because of upper management who for whatever reason doesn't see value in assigning more development resources to CO, which is sad.)

chaelk · February 2013

Trailturtle,
could you please ask them if we could have the event missions placed as a list of drifter missions.
so people can do them when they want, not just for a week or so when we have an event.
Bloodmoon is obviously out since its a special time but the ones like from Nighthawk, vehicles and this, would be good to keep available
No special rewards,normal xp or resouces reward.
Just so that we have a list of extra missions that people can do.

I really like the map on this one and the Boss is a p.i.t.a with glass ranged, so I'm having fun trying to stay away from him but close enoguh to hit.

roughbearmattach · February 2013

By the way, the "disappearing box" means your reward was UNTIL recog.
I got that on two toons.

You can do that here. In fact, some thought it would be a fun idea and created Brigade.

Of course, this was meant as a purposeful hero concept, not a "Five Hulks in one room" kind of team-up you are talking about. Still, I thought, since Doctor Doom was tweaking reality with a Cosmic Cube, anything was supposed to be possible in MH.

Reading the MH game info, I see this idea of randomly generated environments that allow the game to be different every time you play. While I cannot image that happening to CO I can image a sufficient number of Citizen Mission, being added to the catalog (overtime), making it possible to play an entire game using primarily CMs to create a truly unique (to a given hero) in-game experience.

And, ultimately, U.N.I.T.Y. needs dozens more of possible World in Crisis HotSpot missions. And perhaps one fewer. :rolleyes:

redcapcoh · February 2013

The UNTIL box has a green level-appropriate piece of gear.

uh-huh.
Funny, all the gear I got from those boxes was at least 10 levels higher than me...

tilarta · February 2013

Maybe it's just me, but was this a bit too easy?

It said 2 players minimum, the enemies were skull rated and well, look at the final boss:

He has 6 times my health and the best he could do was take 15% of my health away.

Granted, this is my tank and I'm new to tanking, but unless my tank has been well planned out, it seems a bit simple to basically punch this guy to death slowly and not get badly damaged!

And this was all on my own, no-one else came.

I haven't tried it on any other characters though, so maybe different builds that are a bit more squishy wouldn't have it so easy.

roughbearmattach · February 2013

Not everyone has a toon built that powerfully.

My concept/themed-based toons had a tough time beating this boss.

On Elite skill, only my "best" toons could win without getting defeated once. My best PvE toons:

*Focused tank build (long, but easy fight)
*Extreme Pet Master (just stayed out of boss range)
*Lifedrain/shadow/infernal toon (hurting boss healed self)

revanantmorituri · February 2013

Strangely enough, my hardest run was not with my Lvl 14 fire projector (keep in mind as a Hero System player, all my characters are Freeform), but rather my Lvl 32 pet master. Not only did my four velociraptors plus golem find it impossible to keep the hate off me, even when the most offensive action I took was dropping Storm Sigils, but after death #3, I stopped taking any action at all, and fish-boy still decided I was the most deserving of his vitriol. After death #4, I won simply by backing away slowly, blocking, and letting the pack gnaw on his ankles until he bled to death.

roughbearmattach · February 2013

That boss does target the hero, and not pets . . . unless you duck around the corner after you target your pets, but before they do any damage.

jonsills · February 2013

The UNTIL box has a green level-appropriate piece of gear.

Yeah, as noted by others, the level varies from green to blue, but it's always ten levels higher than my toon (except Happifun, who's a 36 - he gets level 40 gear).

And it's not even worth that much to a vendor...

atompenguin · February 2013

I beat him with a level 15 junk character I started recently. Presence primary, two gun mojo, pestilence, concentration and bionic shielding. (Oh, and toxic nanites. I guess.)

Had to pop a health pack, but... just barely (I'm toying with the mouselook, action combat target... thing and it's throwing me off a bit while I tweak). I kept moving and he wasn't really a problem. This game needs some major rebalancing.

Yup. Gear is +10 lvls. And, you can get purples. To sell the vendors.

chances010 · February 2013

Mentarra (Mind AT), Starblade (Devastator), Artika Snowstorm (Glacier), Corona ArcLyte (Tempest), Quasar Starblade (Unleashed), Pulson Shock (Impulse), Dynama (Behemoth), and to my surprise Makeshift Mk. V (Invincible) were able to finish this one solo.

Some chars were created some time ago and have what is now Legacy gear like Khusors, and Ragged Proletariat and they were put to good use. Some were created post On-Alert and had to make do with saved/leftover holiday boosts and not a few health regens (yes, we were blocking as well!)

Surprisingly, The Foolish Ninja (Blade), Wind Singer Dove (Squall) and Day Falcon (Night Avenger) never made it past the 1st Golem team to get to the first shutter. I was able to solo Demonflame with The Foolish Ninja, but this one....whoa.

I shudder to think what part three is going to be about...

roughbearmattach · February 2013

I just did the mission in a group of 4 . . . and got no reward (Q box) and was not on mission rating list.

Anyone else have this bug?

masamundane · February 2013

Haven't tried the new Lemurian mission yet, but I'm glad to see a new mission. See, I wandered off to DCUO for a bit there. I came back because as pretty as DC is, the community here (on CO) can't be beat for both RP and general chat.

That said, I was a gold member for nearly two years, and gave up my status because of the constant push on vehicles. I'm still silver now, waiting for new adventure content to become a regular. I'm a micro manager from old. I love freeforming characters, and I love the little perks that my Gold Account used to give me, but if I'm just coming on to jerk around and hang out on the chats, why bother paying every few months, right? And lets face it, after a while, without new adventures, there's no real reason to go out and play the missions, much less pay for the option to do so with freeform characters.

And, I'll be honest, the vehicles gave me no reason to change my mind. Why pay for a gold account, and freeform build my characters, in a game that was desperately pushing a transform on me anyways, right?

So, that was that. I swore I wouldn't restart my Gold account until there was something new to do. And by new, I mean new missions, not ride around on my bike. I'm not going to yell 'Cryptic, fix this or get none of my money', but really that is it. And? Last year it felt like that was what Cryptic wanted. Remember when they revamped the gangs in Westside? Sure, Poe seemed pretty silly in his dark noir suit with his original nerd voice, but it was NEW at least. And the comic missions? Brilliant. Then suddenly, it was all swept aside so they could do vehicles for a year.

And yeah, I recognize that the vehicles are a labor of love for someone, but they don't fit so well that they should be the only thing Cryptic works on. Some people love them, some people hate them; very few people consider them a hero thing. 'Cept for the jets. Batwing. I get it.

That's sort of the 'how you know' by the way. You can point at everything else in Millenium City, and say 'that was ripped from (whichever) comic. Cryptic, that's not a bad thing. That in fact is how you know you're doing it right! Comic books aren't a place of originality damnit. I'm sorry, but they're not. And when you are looking to have that superheoric feel, you need that 'homage' feel. That's how you know it's a super hero thing!

Sigh. Sorry, I'm ranting. Long version short, I'm glad to see that Cryptic is back to making adventures again. I love CO, and look forward to new adventure content becoming a trend again.

lordhavelock · February 2013

I got a chance to try out the new mission and here are my thoughts:

This little "mini-mission" was nice, if not mundane. Goes well with the other UNTIL daily you just added, as two quick Q/XP grabs. I am curious to find out more about the artifacts the Lemurians are after. I hope there's going to be more to the store/additional missions that explain what's going on.

The mission says it's rated for a a team of two. I ran through it solo on a couple of characters. The first Bogle, a level 33 freeform using a variant of Pulsewave's Morbo high tech pet build while wearing a full six-piece set of Nemesis Heirloom gear. Bogle steamrolled the mission without breaking a sweat. :cool:

The second character I ran was Brightwing, a L14 freeform of my own creation who's only offensive power at the moment is Pulse Beam Rifle. She had more trouble, especially with the final boss which was fairly challenging, but she did finally make it through (without having to respawn, even once). It was only on my way back to RenCen did I realize I forgot to transfer my Nemesis Heirloom gear from Bogle to Brightwing. Meaning she completed the whole mission, solo, without any gear buffing. lol :rolleyes:

chaelk · February 2013

:biggrin: so Brightwing went streaking in the vault. That would have been a surprise to the lemurians

ryryc · February 2013
