    This is the place discuss the game:). We have had a few Giveaways and contests for it and I have played it myself before and after those. You can also discuss the heroes you got from the Giveaway and propose ideas for more contests:).

    The only thing we don't want in this thread is asking for a key or complaining about a Giveaway. This is meant to be a fun thread where we can get some good ideas about future contests:).

    I will start:

    I have the rather ogrish hero called Lucas Cage. Thus, I was hoping for something like the Hulk, Thing, or even Moon Knight as my next hero. So guess who I got with the Random Hero Box lol? None other than the exact opposite:). Squirrel Girl lol.

    I had the superhero called Human Torch who btw is super awesome at farming. I wanted Jean Grey as my random but I got Ms. Marvel which is still a win. She's also an unstoppable tanky power damage hybrid. Would recommend her to everyone.

    I was really hoping for Moon Knight after the writing contest:). Human Torch would definitely been better than Squirrel Girl for me lol.

    Never got a key, but i would love to get any of my favorite heroes out there that i don't have like Spider-Man, Gambit, Hulk, Jean, Ms.Marvel, Captain America. I love most of the heroes in the game, it's just so great and well made and definitely satisfies my Marvel fix :D

    I picked Colossus to start, I *think* the starting options might be random so I kinda lucked out with that. :D I ended up with two Random Hero Boxes... I think I got the first box months ago, I don't remember from what anymore. I ended up getting Thing and Storm.

    This game is so much fun, for me having your favorite costume on a character makes it so much more enjoyable. How about having a costume give away!

    I'm kinda surprised how bad the game runs on my computer... I mean my computer does mostly suck so I'm not *that* surprised but I mean the game really doesn't look all that intensive. It's definitely not bad looking by any means but it's not like it's WOW I can see why it needs all that power. It's not like it's got a huge open world either, must be just an engine thing. Anyways just kinda surprised especially compared to other games.

    Unfortunately there's always been a memory leak problem with the game, and it's never been very optimized either. Areas run differently at different settings, and during pre-launch, chapter 3 was such a complete mess that almost everyone skipped it.

    The game's functional and that's about as much as Gazillion needs it to be, not to say they aren't trying to fix it. They're implementing a second patrol map to test out some coding that should run better than Midtown, and will later update Midtown to run better, for example. Overall, optimization is on their list of things to do, but I don't think it's given the highest of priorities nor is it such a trivial matter that they can fix quickly.

    Alright cool, thanks for the info. Ah I was wondering about the memory, was noticing it getting pretty high. My CPU seems *ok* for the most part... it seemed to be hitting my HDD quite a bit though. I'd assume the real problem is my GPU but I wasn't tracking it so not sure. Good to know though.

    So far I just can't get it to run well enough, it's not so bad that it's unplayable but it's getting really close and that's with literally everything turned down. So I'm kinda stuck. If anyone knows of any tricks to get it to run better... even a little, I'm definitely all ears.

    On a positive note, I did like what I played. Had a nice time

    Aww, geez, I had a whole reply typed out, and I lost all of it because I tried to embed a link to the official forums that gave some tips on optimizing. In short, some helpful tweaks are a Google search away, but the most common suggestion you'll see is to pick up a SSD. Now, is it worth it to invest in a new hard drive for a free to play game? That's a tough call. I know that my fan sounds like a shop vac when I'm running MH, so it's definitely hitting the HD/processor with gusto.

    As for my starter, it was Human Torch, and I quickly picked up the Hulk - both choices mandated by my five-year-old, who loves both characters. Torch remains every bit the killing machine that he was at launch and Hulk... well, it seems like Hulk suffers the same fate as other melee characters in MH (good luck finding a satisfied Wolverine player). He's also saddled with uniques that either aren't very good, or I'm using them all wrong (I'd be happy to be informed that it's the latter, because changing my play style would be simple enough). Still, I think he's a riot to play, because, you know, Hulk.

    This computer is too old to justify an SSD, definitely gonna consider it when I get a new computer.

    For those new to Steam sales, the best strategy for approaching their sales is to wait for improper prices, Daily Deals, Flash Sales, or the final day of the sale to ensure the best sale. It's rare for them to ever put F2P games on a discount, so the -50% discount is sort of surprising in of itself.

    Outside of that, I've been running my Marvel Heroes off a HDD that is separate from my OS, which is partitioned on an SDD. My HDD is actually pretty bugged after suffering through a few thunderstorms and blackouts, so maybe I should run MH off the SDD, although I'll have to do something about the other games on my Steam.

    Yes, we hit this sale every year mainly for four packs since those can be placed in our forum shop and sometimes even played together:).
