Apparently they sent it live “too easy” and it’s now “right”.
If it’s correct now, it’s essentially unwinnable for most lower level characters I think, and certain builds entirely.
Beat it with Widow in the 40s earlier. Her taunt made it fairly easy work, though the man-ape fight was long. Good loot, though.
A few trash mobs can kill my 70 Torch almost instantly. WTF.

Midtown Madness is loot and level madness, went from 21 - 27 in an hour and had 4 uniques plus lots of other great stuff, shame i outlevel it so quickly
I’m more impressed that you HAVE a 70 Torch ;)

I played Torch for a bit, but he strikes me as even more dull then Storm. I need to read a few builds on him guess, but haven’t been impressed, fragile or not. I’ve spent most of my time this week when I can play using Dr. Strange. Finally decided to focus on him a bit and have started liking him a lot. Lots of depth, and more powerful then I thought. I still need to figure out a good rotation for him, and need more hotkeys…
Quickly tried out Psylocke on test. Wasn’t terribly impressed by her model, but its better then Invisible Woman. Wish they’d spend more time and not just recycle old models for their ‘new’ characters. I don’t know what to make out of Psylockes powers though. Looked interesting, but I’m sure they’ll get tweaked a fair amount. Speaking of tweaking, they really need to work on Wolverine’s animation when on “his” new motorcycle. Fairly comical now.
When does Midtown Madness end?
Psylocke’s telepathy tree looks really nice. And love the animation on Falling Lotus too. I could also see putting a build together around her shadow clones.

Extra sentinels in this patch… I wonder why :).
Actually that’s yesterday’s code. Today’s is:
XMEN141
(MMORPGCOM should still work, it just was given out yesterday is what I meant. :) )
MMORPGCOM is a 2 hour SIF boost, XMEN141 is supposed to be a 2 hour XP boost
So, apparently with this patch, something got mucked up with the bonus Odin mark you’re supposed to get for your characters first le of the day. As a result, they’ve started giving everyone daily Odin mark chests. It’s a bummer if you’re the type that cycles one lq on each char to farm marks, but since I forget that works and like to just play the char I’m working, I get anywhere from 5 to 100 Odin marks to replace the 1 I’m not getting.
I really appreciate the way this company treats customers.
Also, randomly discovered code: 2015
Mk 1, 2, and 5 (???) fortune card. Got 25 splinters instead of yet another boost from my Mk 2 at least…
I got the Spidey team-up from the fortune card VI that was in the xmen chest

Thanks for the code, not opened it yet just redeemed it :)
I may hate you. I won’t know until I figure out who I want the unique for to open the chest on them. (Leaning Psilocke atm…)
Yup, agreed. Started prestige 5 for Gambit yesterday. Should be ready for cosmic prestige this week when the As Death costume is released for those getting it early. Got what looks like a really strong roll on a Death’s Black Staff yesterday, which I’ve had trouble with. I may end p using that one all the way through cosmic prestige and upgrade it along the way.
I’ve also spent considerable time on Ghost Rider building up a legendary (Shield of Perseus) for him and pushing his health upward from 20k to 29k in anticipation of raids. I can still get trounced by Rhino/Juggernaut, especially at high health (not a typo) but he can take a LOT of punishment. Hmmm, I should try face tanking cosmic Kurse again and see if I have to move around less.
They just dropped some costume prices for a number of costumes, including retroactive price protection for 30 days preceding May 27. Further, enhanced costumes have been lowered to 1450 G’s through end of June.
now I have to remember which costumes I bought in the last 30 days so I can file a ticket
You don’t. They’ve said on the forums that if you don’t remember then just submit a ticket and they’ll look through your history and sort out what refunds are coming to you.
There’s a post from a user in this thread here where they’ve figured out what costume prices have occurred.
And apparently you can just raise a support call and ask them to refund you any costume price differences there might have been, if you can’t remember whether you bought any in the last 30 days. They’ll check their records. For reference, the saturday of the last BOGO weekend was the 26th so it might be worth raising a call if you bought on that saturday (I’m unclear about whether it’s 26th or 27th April that cuts off).
Edit: Ah, beaten to it!

Ahh, nice thinking with GR- he gets so powerful with low HP, makes sense to make the “low” end of the bracket wide.
