At first glance, his ability lineup seemed relatively balanced, but for 2 AP, you're making 5 green tiles per cast, you can quickly see the issue when the entire board is littered with green! Cascades galore, and another hero of the same tier effectively has a "I win" ability that costs a <b>LOT</b> of green.<br /><br />I can sympathize for those who spent real money to rank up his overpowered red skill, given how they over-nerfed it (he went from being by and far the best in the game to being worse than a more common character), but the fact several more vocal persons are calling for nerfs on similar heroes baffles me. <br /><br />Spiderman stuns for 2 AP - one turn per web tile out. It takes time to wind up. Magneto shatters 5 random tiles and deals a modest bit of damage - the damage part is all he has, it doesn't generate obscene cascades like Ragnarok did. Wolverine starts off slow, and picks up speed the longer he's around, given how many strike tiles he's capable of generating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625171860671748699.post-91919756185265540242014-01-09T20:42:30.316-08:002014-01-09T20:42:30.316-08:00The Steam version has nothing related to being cal...The Steam version has nothing related to being called "preview edition" anywhere. <br /><br />Changes will happen,we all know this. The issue is no communication prior to changes so people are not putting real funds into characters that will no longer be desirable.<br /><br /> Today a popular character was "nerfed" , leaving some people feeling stung in the wallet for recently investing real funds into him. With prior notice, people could have invested into a different character or not at all.<br /><br />Communication with the player base is the problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625171860671748699.post-27565742957009089842014-01-09T19:52:44.246-08:002014-01-09T19:52:44.246-08:00Thanks for your comment!

...He failed to mention some things about this game.<br /><br />- Communication with the player base is hit and miss, many support tickets take ages to be responded to.<br />- The episodes are one time events so far, new players are not able to experience the ones that have been completed.<br />- Heavy handed changes to characters that people have invested real money into, without prior notice.
