never gonna happen especially because of the Collection thing that requires old uniforms. They want you to spend money to get crystals to buy it all. I have the Avengers one pretty much complete because I got lucky and had those unis but the X-Men and Midnight Suns one will NEVER get done because I wont buy old, useless unis for crystals.
@Kalbuir66 Sadly...yea. plus when new players come it's technically new to them. But, that just makes the pain more intense, then it's just too overwhelming and expensive 😮💨
Doctor Strange 1 movie uniforms are for gold. Next year (2017) Homecoming Spiderman and Vulture are not for the gold. Wtf? All new, Marvel Now!, and many others should be cheaper than crystal spending. @@Kalbuir66
I agree with that 100% we should see differences from tier 4 characters that came out a year before the current tier 4s but we don’t they are all near the same power lvl it’s not progressing enough
If every new t4 outmatches the last, eventually all the ones we've put a lot of time and effort into building will become worthless. Then, what's the point in playing if all your time, energy and money will, in time, be for nothing?
Here is the problem…1.) They introduced T4’s with more than 65% of the roster still needing T3 or Transcendence/Awakening. So when ever a character(s) gets a T4 the rest of the update feels like a total skip because T3’s and Awakened characters will never be able to compete with T4. 2.) So now they are trying to play catch up which leads to characters getting no uniform at all or some throw away uniform that is not even worth it. 2.5) THEY GENERALLY ONLY SEEM TO MAKE UNIFORMS AND UPDATES GOOD WHEN THEY ARE FOR AN EXPENSIVE TO BUILD/AQURIE CHARACTERS OR PAYWALL UNIFORMS AND IM ABOUT SICK OF IT!! 3.). Because T4 materials and books are a lot more scarce so players without a bunch of money to spend tend to put off T4ing the majority of T4’s which means a lot of skip worthy updates. 4.) Ontop of that uniforms have gotten worse and worse as time goes on. How is it that a character from 3 years ago is stronger than a character who just got a PVP uniform in a current update. 5.) They keep introducing pay to win additions to the game at least that’s how I see them. Yes the emblems are a neat idea however it’s just another way to sell exclusive emblems and bleed players dry of crystals. 6.) They continue to add new items, systems, etc but have yet to increase inventory space. 7.) increase costs yet refuse to give us more than 25 crystals a day.
There are only 2 major downside of this continuous release of copy paste T4s 1) they're not improving the acquisition of T4 mats enough , they always focus on overpriced sales and stupid BS 2) with bunch of characters advancing, most fan favorites either get shafted or get overshadowed by more promising and 100% sure powercreep characters ex. Surfer then we got Sentry Every T4 from here on out is not gonna be greater than Knull so whats the point of building them instead of just saving up for knull because we cannot acquire enough free T4 mats
This is the opposite of strike force where every new release becomes the "meta" and it's hard for new players to keep up because it's so damn hard to unlock a character.. I think this is good if a strong character/s balances it out every few months
But SF at least has places to use the characters. Look at xtreme, spider society, and superior 6. All 3 teams still meta as hell in multiple game modes and they’ve been f2p attainable for months now. Nearly a year for Sup 6. Why would I T4 X23? Or Hulkbuster? War Machine? Or any other T4 since Sentry? I’d use them in no game mode at all… so at least strike force releases meta characters and teams that you can obtain and use them, and they stay meta for a while. In future fight they release shite characters that are never meta for even a day.
On a side note, not related to this particular topic, Alex only has 42 characters left not advanceable past T2. Based on the rate of T3s and transcendables, it could be anywhere from this time next year to the end of next year when everyone can advance to T3/transcension. Once that happens, We could start seeing 2 or even more T4s per main patch and 1 or 2 per mid patch
3:09 they can't make every T4 good because there isn't enough content for those T4. PVP is exclusively T4 now and then there is WBL+, ABX, and ABL. There are just too many characters and too few places to use them at T4. So we just get a whole month of garbage uni's and T4s instead of making more content.
Good video. I think outside of the characters that got reworks this month, you could of mentioned Dr Doom. Like he got a T4 and a new uniform and it was absolute dog shit.
The ideas for T4 only dispatch and GBR are bad ideas. GBR has a limit so you’re still only using 2-3 per day, same ones we already use. And dispatch is autoplay nonsense. We just need multiple new playable game modes. Shadowland isn’t it.
I was still bitter at what they did with X-23 but I kinda agree with your point. Sooner or later we'll get bad characters or else it will just be a game of chasing what's new and in demand
Its time to start T4ing leads and supports... revolve around t4 means not just throwing 3 dps on for WBL. We need to be able to start building teams again.
Just a viewer of yours at this point alex, been following you for a while. Not sure if you will read this but I think the moment mff failed was when it's entire update was just the cash shop, be it new uniforms or cards or ctps or tokens or whatever. If i can log into the game and the only new thing that is there is in the cash shop then the game is more likely dead. Want me to give an example? Clash royale which is earning less than hay day lol. Look at the other side of the isle with mcoc a game with more monetization but it has 10x the content and every month at that compared to mff. Even with the new champs new offers, when i log into the game i have stuff to do and they keep adding more stuff.
Same as you, I’ve played MMF for 8 years, quit and deleted everything 3months ago, this is probably hindsight but the devs should have power scaled characters closer to source material and not based off popularity, e.g: captain America has 50 uniforms and no one uses him. There are other cooler characters that should have gotten an upgrade; eg songbird, Wiccan, hulkling etc but they give favourites uniforms that are powercrept the next day. Black widow has 1000 uniforms and no one uses her. At this point it’s sales, money and shutdown
I've got her potential realized. Like many others wondering is she worth it. Also before watching this I decided to rewatch the scene in Logan where she tears the goons to shreds. Now that was amazing. Devs stop being lazy and make characters relevant. Back in the day my ex wanted to t4 Cap sooo bad but eventually he stopped playing. Sometimes it really is ok not to t4 every character. Sure we'll get upset with the bad t4s but life goes on. Hulk we'll be my next t4 so I don't lose the vishanti book in my inventory. Awesome video Alex!! Here's hoping 🎉❤
Our situation with the game now is like focusing the top of the pyramid, always thinking of ways to fill that small space with more. I would suggest however is to put out content that is T2 or T3 only, because let's face it, some characters aren't gonna get the upgrade. Contents for them allows us to strategize in different layers throughout our roster, and gives reason to buy uniforms that doesn't impact the general meta, but has an impact on their local meta. It would also give you more content to work on, like strategies on who to upgrade, and a more diverse tier list. But of course this is wishful thinking, but that's how I would approach the development of the game if given a chance.
I'm just waiting for T4 Knull so that I can get his uniform and max him out. At this point, I'm satisfied enough with my progression that I only care about building characters I like, which is why I'm saving up for Knull, was hoping to get Hulkbsuter's new uniform and am still trying to reforge Kang's Authority CTP
I honestly think that every now and then some "bad" tier 4 can be useful for semi-f2p players to take a break and recharge their supplies of t4 materials or to recover some good t4 not done previously. I'm sorry to see the community complain every now and then but I think there's a need. In many games every new character automatically enters the meta, a sort of example is Marvel Snap or Dragon Ball Legends and these cases make me think that the MFF method is better.
My opinion is dis, in every update, at least 1 character should be good, even character gettin new uniform if possible, like dis ironman update, warmachine should've been made strong den hulkbuster get sidelined, again for midmonth, the t4 should be a little bit better than hulkbuster but not much better than warmachine. The most important thing is gamemode, let them create a gamemode in which the difficulty is adjustable, its gonna be like a line u can drag to set the difficulty so it'll be quite easy for hulkbuster to clear, then u can also increase the difficulty for warmachine to clear, and it can also include specific characters to use to even double ur rewards, let all dis t4s who are sidelined have something to do in the game
Yeah, i been saying this for months, we went from banger after banger to whimper after whimper. We all keep hoping the next new game mode, the next new content, next new update will breathe more life into the game, but the fact is we have reached full maturation, there is nothing left to do from the devs point of view that will make the game any more exhilirating, you cant just have perpetual scaling every update, its unsustainable.
well with the way things are, the useless t4s currently will just be for stage 1 of world boss..i dont even thiink they can do stage 1 of the legend + , but if they can, well its just for it..thats where most players will enjoy them.. and also players that don't expect anything, just to have fun..like me. so yeah.. just have them for good vibez 😅
It's really not a difficult problem to fix. There are SO many options. You can have (up to) 14 different metas for Alliance Battle, rather than 5 characters. As you mentioned, dispatch and/or maybe a Story mode for T4's. Also, the new game mode.
i think i dissagre on T4 characters only because it gives the new players a some what a wall that they can play but instead have a gamemode that have a very specific team that can complete that, im not talking about only human heroes what i mean is like a story mode that you need a equip a certain team like midnight sons or avengers tag
As a newer player I would say that with the initial difficulty and time of getting first few tier 4's that there should be content added but making existing content tier 4 only would directly punish newer players
They should add another giant boss raid for tier 4 only. The tier 4 world bosses are good. However, I do agree that they need more tier 4 content and with the addition of tier 4 support. Most players can get about 7 tier 4 characters really fast.
I think with X-23, they should've done better a long time ago. She outright replaced Wolverine for a while in comics. We should've gotten a movie outfit for her (and probably Gambit and Blade as well) )with the Deadpool & Wolverine update. It is insane that she's a transcended character while Daken is a full T3. For characters like Rescue, it's almost at the point where you wonder why they bothered. I'm still weirded out by them sometimes adding/updating characters that don't even get transcended.
I'm waiting till.the support meta start getting T4s...I'm pretty happy with my dealers and need support now not more dealers. I'm parking my T4 mats till then.
I don't have a problem with the T4's not being meta defining BUT if they aren't going to be great then I would rather them not waste the update on beloved characters. Like these last 2 updates could have been given to the new avengers, A.O.S, Warriors 3 ect ect so that if the t4 isn't gonna be great we can AT LEAST get these characters that are stuck at T2 and absolutely useless some love.
Compare this to Strike Force: they add 2-3 new characters and rework 2-3 characters and they are immediately usable, often meta. I use them in raids, war, crucible, etc. whereas in Future Fight I haven’t tier 4 a character since Sentry. And I have enough mats to T4 like 8 characters, but why would I? Use them where? It’s completely pointless and useless because there is NO effing where to use them bc I have better options already for alliance battle and WBL. Timeline and other world battle? Lmfao. Lamest autoplay waste of phone battery bs.
We really need 2 more gbrs and 2 more hype game modes, 1 mode to use the big boyz and 1 more to use all the bottom characters so we can really use the whole roster and not just for shadowland
Isn't some of the T4 inflation so we can have decent leadership/support chars for the WBL fights? That applies for Iron Man, certainly. arguably for characters like Cyclops as well. No use as a damage dealer but as lead/support has value for Black Swan/Corvus & Proxima.
Alright Alex i gotta know, what is your beef with Cyclops?? Did you date Jean in High School?? Any chance you get to disrespect the leader of the X Men, you run with it
i feel like they just want to slow down the powercreep, i do like the idea that most of new t4 are not over the top but i also think they should increase more way to farm t4 mat
one thing that people , i think , often miss and might also find negative at first is that from one side ok fine , t4 only content, by you're still going to use the same characters. So I ask this, Why is mystique and cyclops some of the worst t4s ? I think its because the game now doesn't just revolve about the whole brand new broken or just bad t4s, but the fact that every single one of them is being viewed as a dps and nothing more. If we look at any new player guide, everyone should agree that the first true pick up is valkarye. Why is not sentry ? getting t3 mats is not an issue for an account a couple of days old nowadays, you can get a wbl clear in a few days. And when yu do , you realise the value of supports and not just shiny new dps characters. Why shouldn't that be the case with t4s as well. My idea would be to make a new gamemode yes, harder yea, but one that will allow the release of support t4s that ure, dps would naturally be mid, because you don't care about them being on field. And all of a sudden you stop hyper investing in a few characters but you start to horisontaly invest in many6 characters again. Which is a long term goal that will drive players. After t3s came transended, how about the new gimich would be t4s that would maybe be a bit cheaper but their t4 skill would work and charge off field? That way you can have supports that their t4 skills can either give more buffs or maybe do an actual significant amount of off field damage. And that long terms can have different tiers of characters, with others being mostly for abx because they have a lot of hits, while in wbl you want those that dish out pure damage. Or different supports for pve and PVP. And maybe said off field t4s skills charge slower , so for every 2 t4 rotations of your on field, you can do one wit the off field. So it takes 4 rotations to fully reach your damage potential. Over time, you'd naturally also have varying types of power level too, so you have your maybe more premium option with the unavoidable holiday unis and the f2p ones. The best thing that happened to the game in terms of t4 monetization in my opinion is gwen and luna. Gwen is amazing, but luna is better. You can get by with gwen, but if you want more you can get luna. Sure it sucks for f2ps off course, but having actually similar characters at different powerlevels is good for a f2p game that wants to make money
lol I reached this conclusion long ago without having a TH-cam channel. We don’t need every update to shake the meta and we don’t need every new T4 to be good
I am not lying, the day they screwed up Doom, I did him T4 and just stopped to play hoping in a Buff, then they ridiculized us doing a meaningless "buff". I am waiting for Knull, logging in and going out.
Transcended characters was a pain in the ass because you’d have to get the other characters to a certain level in order to transcend the character that u wanted to
That's very, very right. It's true. The update is very disturbing. I'm not impressed. Very bad. Today, I have 53 t4s in my ID, but I can actually use a few. The developers are very bad today.😢
Side character I think most of us are okay with being b or c tier. But when they choose someone like god doom(insert what ever mega power) for me it was when they came out with the last venom. That character should have been unstoppable but there not, they’re trash. What are they even in business for?
I remember when devs said this is a collection game. I also remember some players said not every toon is a meta. Since we knew the reason, there is no point to complain about, comparing with the past. Play it smart. Don't let the game consume you.
I think certain Native T1 T4's should automatically receive a discount. Cyclops is not worth it. Black Widow is not worth it. Especially with the over saturation of native T2 Tier 4's now anybody else coming out has to be stronger then what should be top tier top of the line meta's. They should've cooled it down with the Native T2 T4's, but I'm sure they thought they were making more revenue that way forcing the 10% to spend lol
MMF could just make characters that are strong in the comics strong in the game too, people don’t complain about Jean, sentry, being strong, doom should have been strong. If that’s how MMF functioned, we wouldn’t expect captain America to be as strong as Jean or Doom to be as weak as destroyer 😂 or even Thor buster to be as weak as icon 😂 They should have tried to stay true to the source material, but that’s too late.
There may always be a worst T4, but there is zero need to ever have bad T4’s. New releases don’t need to be better than existing characters, just as good, or close to it. That way people have options, and can play their favorite characters, rather than characters they don’t like or have never heard of, simply because they were designed better. At this point they should know exactly what it takes to make a good character. If they don’t have enough people working on it, then they could release fewer characters/unis and make sure they are good. Far better to release fewer good characters than more characters that most people won’t buy.
Sure there has to be a balance…however when 80% of T4’s are awful and 10% are ok 5% are good and 5% are Meta it starts to feel a little unbalanced. It feels like the majority of T4’s anymore are sort of pointless and skippable. It’s like 1 in 10 are great and 1 is good and 1 is ok while the rest suck.
They took too long to finish getting everyone to t3, and now not only are t2 useless, t3 are useless, and some t4 are useless... They can fix it by t4 skipping all remaining t2 then start hammering out 3-5 t4s and update, then reset the meta with t5
I think the devs have already given up on working on “good” T4’s and are already working on their new “cash grab” technique of introducing T5 much sooner than later. I give these guys another year or two to cash out completely.
Question. What about Rescue in her new uniform is so bad that it doesn't get a uniform while Wiccan and Hulkling, who don't even have any uniforms, did get a video?
I mean there's an easy solution. There a camera on your phone. You want a video on Rescue, film one. The other 2 you named had no uniforms therefor there's no crystals spent. Rescue just has minimal value
@@AjFrancisshomeboySteve Outside of my own lacking in the knowledge, resources, experience, and everything else needed to make videos, attempting that would not address the main point of my question. On top of characters who received a 6th skill without ever receiving a uniform, other uniforms that turned out bad got their own dedicated videos. Cynicalex made it clear that he did not care for the limited uniform Rocket Raccoon received in honor of his latest movie appearance. And yet it still got a video. So what did "Invincible" Rescue do that made it so much worse and less deserving of focus than "G.O.T.G. 3" Rocket Raccoon?
@williamgreci8219 I'm not even disagreeing with you about the quality of said characters. If you've watched Alex you know how he is. If the character isn't t4 or meta somewhere, his videos tend to go in the direction of who he likes personally. That's why the guy never has a nice thing to say about Cyclops. Yet Cyclops is one of the best lead/supports on the game and maybe the best T4 support/lead. All I was getting at is that if you want a video on Rescue you're gonna end up looking elsewhere or even making it yourself
more T4 game modes will not fix the issue of me not T4-ing terrible T4s. The gamemode should requires specific characters/types. There is no reason to T4 certain types of characters cos they are not needed for game modes. they need to provide need so we can t4 characters. for example, blast/speed males and blast females are not needed for PVE game modes, so i will NOT be t4-ing them no matter how good (or bad) they are
The issue is, people like you don’t understand what balancing is. The reason some upgraded characters suck is so people who don’t have as many or any don’t get left behind. Why do you think they give new players and players that come back so many different things? You know when the game actually became unbalanced? When Jean was originally introduced. It didn’t recover from that until last year, when they started to make characters that didn’t need the full upgrade to compete. PvP is never going to be perfectly balanced because people are A. Holes.
Out of all the characters in the game only 5-6 everyone uses especially in pvp, the game is so unbalanced it's unreal, i gave up playing PvP was boring fighting the same team over and over
I think so what they need to hire is a marvel comics fan who can power scale T4 based on comics like doom is shit and spidergwen is better than her also they should start giving fan fav T4 like you said hulkbuster vs Wolverine why is he even have a T4 at first
To be honest it is quite obvious the Devs don't care churning out good characters. The game is stale and getting boring. How about they stop making poor characters and rebuild some of the other T2 characters sitting in limbo. I find the new WBs boring as hell and see no reason to build T4. Just looks like the cash grabbing for poor characters is back in full effect. I used to spend a fair bit now I see no reason to do so as the Devs don't care so the favour is being returned.
They need to permanently discount old uniforms

Every new Tier 4 can't redefine the meta. But they should at least be fun to play with.
And that’s the expectation. If every T4 were better, then the complaint would be people can’t keep up. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
People aren’t mad that X-23 is not meta, they are mad that she’s not a combat type for combat female ABX.
Back then even if they were a bad t3 we could at least justify it as a shadowland clear. We need a new game mode like that again
The worst tier 4 should never be the NEWEST tier 4, it should be the OLDEST tier 4.
I agree with that 100% we should see differences from tier 4 characters that came out a year before the current tier 4s but we don’t they are all near the same power lvl it’s not progressing enough

After months of grinding t4 material to upgrade jean, finally i made it💢
😂 I feel ya
@@vellicose8836 the pain 😂

Petition for a T3 only pvp mode 🙌 lol, or only awaken characters
nobody thinks of these things tho. very good idea tbh
Hell yeah, the awakened character mode sounds great
Man, that's probably a better idea than anything Netmarble has came up with lately. That'd be great

Yikes
Funny how War Machine marks both the beginings of bad T3s and bad T4s.
They could add Shadowlands floors that require T4’s so Hulbuster & X-23 have a use. The rawrds would have to be pretty damn good though.

But of course this is wishful thinking, but that's how I would approach the development of the game if given a chance.
I'm just waiting for T4 Knull so that I can get his uniform and max him out. At this point, I'm satisfied enough with my progression that I only care about building characters I like, which is why I'm saving up for Knull, was hoping to get Hulkbsuter's new uniform and am still trying to reforge Kang's Authority CTP
as much as i like the idea of t4 only gamemode, we need to wait a little more, because there are no many t4 support.
I honestly think that every now and then some "bad" tier 4 can be useful for semi-f2p players to take a break and recharge their supplies of t4 materials or to recover some good t4 not done previously. I'm sorry to see the community complain every now and then but I think there's a need. In many games every new character automatically enters the meta, a sort of example is Marvel Snap or Dragon Ball Legends and these cases make me think that the MFF method is better.
Day 28 : Cynicalex it is my humble request to make a series with a F2P ID, and please continue the build of the week series
My opinion is dis, in every update, at least 1 character should be good, even character gettin new uniform if possible, like dis ironman update, warmachine should've been made strong den hulkbuster get sidelined, again for midmonth, the t4 should be a little bit better than hulkbuster but not much better than warmachine.
The most important thing is gamemode, let them create a gamemode in which the difficulty is adjustable, its gonna be like a line u can drag to set the difficulty so it'll be quite easy for hulkbuster to clear, then u can also increase the difficulty for warmachine to clear, and it can also include specific characters to use to even double ur rewards, let all dis t4s who are sidelined have something to do in the game
Yeah, i been saying this for months, we went from banger after banger to whimper after whimper. We all keep hoping the next new game mode, the next new content, next new update will breathe more life into the game, but the fact is we have reached full maturation, there is nothing left to do from the devs point of view that will make the game any more exhilirating, you cant just have perpetual scaling every update, its unsustainable.
They did so many native tier 2 Tier 4s at the beginning that it takes a CRAZY bump to get regular characters to outshine them
well with the way things are, the useless t4s currently will just be for stage 1 of world boss..i dont even thiink they can do stage 1 of the legend + , but if they can, well its just for it..thats where most players will enjoy them..
and also players that don't expect anything, just to have fun..like me.
so yeah.. just have them for good vibez 😅
It's really not a difficult problem to fix. There are SO many options. You can have (up to) 14 different metas for Alliance Battle, rather than 5 characters. As you mentioned, dispatch and/or maybe a Story mode for T4's. Also, the new game mode.
Giving more keys than doors to unlock
Love that analogy 🎉
i think i dissagre on T4 characters only because it gives the new players a some what a wall that they can play but instead have a gamemode that have a very specific team that can complete that, im not talking about only human heroes what i mean is like a story mode that you need a equip a certain team like midnight sons or avengers tag
As a newer player I would say that with the initial difficulty and time of getting first few tier 4's that there should be content added but making existing content tier 4 only would directly punish newer players
They should add another giant boss raid for tier 4 only. The tier 4 world bosses are good. However, I do agree that they need more tier 4 content and with the addition of tier 4 support. Most players can get about 7 tier 4 characters really fast.
I think with X-23, they should've done better a long time ago. She outright replaced Wolverine for a while in comics. We should've gotten a movie outfit for her (and probably Gambit and Blade as well) )with the Deadpool & Wolverine update. It is insane that she's a transcended character while Daken is a full T3. For characters like Rescue, it's almost at the point where you wonder why they bothered. I'm still weirded out by them sometimes adding/updating characters that don't even get transcended.
I'm waiting till.the support meta start getting T4s...I'm pretty happy with my dealers and need support now not more dealers. I'm parking my T4 mats till then.
still in shambles after t4ing hulk buster
I'll pray for you
😂 sorry mate
I don't have a problem with the T4's not being meta defining BUT if they aren't going to be great then I would rather them not waste the update on beloved characters. Like these last 2 updates could have been given to the new avengers, A.O.S, Warriors 3 ect ect so that if the t4 isn't gonna be great we can AT LEAST get these characters that are stuck at T2 and absolutely useless some love.
Compare this to Strike Force: they add 2-3 new characters and rework 2-3 characters and they are immediately usable, often meta. I use them in raids, war, crucible, etc. whereas in Future Fight I haven’t tier 4 a character since Sentry. And I have enough mats to T4 like 8 characters, but why would I? Use them where? It’s completely pointless and useless because there is NO effing where to use them bc I have better options already for alliance battle and WBL. Timeline and other world battle? Lmfao. Lamest autoplay waste of phone battery bs.
We really need 2 more gbrs and 2 more hype game modes, 1 mode to use the big boyz and 1 more to use all the bottom characters so we can really use the whole roster and not just for shadowland
Uniforms are the other mechanism to "balance" characters. The worst T4 can be brought up to par with a good uniform.
T2 was the same way. Remember Hulkling, Modoc, Wiccan instant meme t2😂
Isn't some of the T4 inflation so we can have decent leadership/support chars for the WBL fights? That applies for Iron Man, certainly. arguably for characters like Cyclops as well. No use as a damage dealer but as lead/support has value for Black Swan/Corvus & Proxima.
Thank you Alex :)
Alex please make a video about the correct builds on characters on your account ctps iso8 and everything
We need more support t4s . It took the forever to give us awakened/t3 supports
I'm still waiting for a legend version of the old bosses, and they fumbled it with corvis and proxima😢
Haven't played the game since they shafted God emperor Doom, and I don't even have Doom
I saved 1k bios for X23🗿
😂😂😂😂 noooooooo
Alright Alex i gotta know, what is your beef with Cyclops?? Did you date Jean in High School?? Any chance you get to disrespect the leader of the X Men, you run with it
100% agree, they need to give new game modes to make the T4s more relevent
The last good t4 was gladiator or something
change my mind
i feel like they just want to slow down the powercreep, i do like the idea that most of new t4 are not over the top but i also think they should increase more way to farm t4 mat
It’s too late, from the very start, they just should have scaled the character power levels relative to the comics for everyone
Are the developers crazy? What is the reason for T4? It's not worth what we spend on character upgrades
X23 chews up in Otherworld. It's just not a mode content creators promote enough .
one thing that people , i think , often miss and might also find negative at first is that from one side ok fine , t4 only content, by you're still going to use the same characters. So I ask this, Why is mystique and cyclops some of the worst t4s ? I think its because the game now doesn't just revolve about the whole brand new broken or just bad t4s, but the fact that every single one of them is being viewed as a dps and nothing more. If we look at any new player guide, everyone should agree that the first true pick up is valkarye. Why is not sentry ? getting t3 mats is not an issue for an account a couple of days old nowadays, you can get a wbl clear in a few days. And when yu do , you realise the value of supports and not just shiny new dps characters. Why shouldn't that be the case with t4s as well. My idea would be to make a new gamemode yes, harder yea, but one that will allow the release of support t4s that ure, dps would naturally be mid, because you don't care about them being on field. And all of a sudden you stop hyper investing in a few characters but you start to horisontaly invest in many6 characters again. Which is a long term goal that will drive players. After t3s came transended, how about the new gimich would be t4s that would maybe be a bit cheaper but their t4 skill would work and charge off field? That way you can have supports that their t4 skills can either give more buffs or maybe do an actual significant amount of off field damage. And that long terms can have different tiers of characters, with others being mostly for abx because they have a lot of hits, while in wbl you want those that dish out pure damage. Or different supports for pve and PVP. And maybe said off field t4s skills charge slower , so for every 2 t4 rotations of your on field, you can do one wit the off field. So it takes 4 rotations to fully reach your damage potential. Over time, you'd naturally also have varying types of power level too, so you have your maybe more premium option with the unavoidable holiday unis and the f2p ones. The best thing that happened to the game in terms of t4 monetization in my opinion is gwen and luna. Gwen is amazing, but luna is better. You can get by with gwen, but if you want more you can get luna. Sure it sucks for f2ps off course, but having actually similar characters at different powerlevels is good for a f2p game that wants to make money
lol I reached this conclusion long ago without having a TH-cam channel. We don’t need every update to shake the meta and we don’t need every new T4 to be good
Yea, i don’t mind power plateauing but at least the new tier 4 should be viable, and be on par with current meta characters
Wich T4s we must have to upgrade to pve and PVP? Native or normal but Wich ones?
I am not lying, the day they screwed up Doom, I did him T4 and just stopped to play hoping in a Buff, then they ridiculized us doing a meaningless "buff". I am waiting for Knull, logging in and going out.
For me doom was the last straw, deleted game, deleted accounted no more mmf, I just watch to see how the game is slowly dying
Transcended characters was a pain in the ass because you’d have to get the other characters to a certain level in order to transcend the character that u wanted to
That's very, very right. It's true. The update is very disturbing. I'm not impressed. Very bad. Today, I have 53 t4s in my ID, but I can actually use a few. The developers are very bad today.😢
Side character I think most of us are okay with being b or c tier. But when they choose someone like god doom(insert what ever mega power) for me it was when they came out with the last venom. That character should have been unstoppable but there not, they’re trash. What are they even in business for?
I remember when devs said this is a collection game. I also remember some players said not every toon is a meta. Since we knew the reason, there is no point to complain about, comparing with the past. Play it smart. Don't let the game consume you.
I think certain Native T1 T4's should automatically receive a discount. Cyclops is not worth it. Black Widow is not worth it. Especially with the over saturation of native T2 Tier 4's now anybody else coming out has to be stronger then what should be top tier top of the line meta's. They should've cooled it down with the Native T2 T4's, but I'm sure they thought they were making more revenue that way forcing the 10% to spend lol
These characters can be T4 not because the Dev wants them to be T4, but because they need to get someone T4.
MMF could just make characters that are strong in the comics strong in the game too, people don’t complain about Jean, sentry, being strong, doom should have been strong.
If that’s how MMF functioned, we wouldn’t expect captain America to be as strong as Jean or Doom to be as weak as destroyer 😂 or even Thor buster to be as weak as icon 😂
They should have tried to stay true to the source material, but that’s too late.
its the same with when they introduced t3
There may always be a worst T4, but there is zero need to ever have bad T4’s. New releases don’t need to be better than existing characters, just as good, or close to it. That way people have options, and can play their favorite characters, rather than characters they don’t like or have never heard of, simply because they were designed better. At this point they should know exactly what it takes to make a good character. If they don’t have enough people working on it, then they could release fewer characters/unis and make sure they are good. Far better to release fewer good characters than more characters that most people won’t buy.
Sure there has to be a balance…however when 80% of T4’s are awful and 10% are ok 5% are good and 5% are Meta it starts to feel a little unbalanced. It feels like the majority of T4’s anymore are sort of pointless and skippable. It’s like 1 in 10 are great and 1 is good and 1 is ok while the rest suck.
Why does Alex still think that BW was 2nd t4. She came out after Blue Dragon
They took too long to finish getting everyone to t3, and now not only are t2 useless, t3 are useless, and some t4 are useless... They can fix it by t4 skipping all remaining t2 then start hammering out 3-5 t4s and update, then reset the meta with t5
I think the devs have already given up on working on “good” T4’s and are already working on their new “cash grab” technique of introducing T5 much sooner than later. I give these guys another year or two to cash out completely.
Hence lowering sales etc
Yo Alex, good uncle shirt there lol
maybe they prepare for zombies game mode
Question. What about Rescue in her new uniform is so bad that it doesn't get a uniform while Wiccan and Hulkling, who don't even have any uniforms, did get a video?
I mean there's an easy solution. There a camera on your phone. You want a video on Rescue, film one. The other 2 you named had no uniforms therefor there's no crystals spent. Rescue just has minimal value
@@AjFrancisshomeboySteve Outside of my own lacking in the knowledge, resources, experience, and everything else needed to make videos, attempting that would not address the main point of my question. On top of characters who received a 6th skill without ever receiving a uniform, other uniforms that turned out bad got their own dedicated videos. Cynicalex made it clear that he did not care for the limited uniform Rocket Raccoon received in honor of his latest movie appearance. And yet it still got a video. So what did "Invincible" Rescue do that made it so much worse and less deserving of focus than "G.O.T.G. 3" Rocket Raccoon?
@williamgreci8219 I'm not even disagreeing with you about the quality of said characters. If you've watched Alex you know how he is. If the character isn't t4 or meta somewhere, his videos tend to go in the direction of who he likes personally. That's why the guy never has a nice thing to say about Cyclops. Yet Cyclops is one of the best lead/supports on the game and maybe the best T4 support/lead. All I was getting at is that if you want a video on Rescue you're gonna end up looking elsewhere or even making it yourself
@@AjFrancisshomeboySteve Ah. I see. Thanks for the heads up.
@williamgreci8219 I'm guessing someone out there has done a good review tho. Maybe Deathproof or F2P Titan. Seems like someone would have done 1
So this game still has the same problems from which I left it, good to know no need to come back. And that's bad man. Hope they improve.❤
the combat lacks depth, thats why its always just going to be who beat world boss faster with bigger numbers and the number just keep inflating
Day 3 of asking for Alex to cosplay as Mickey mouse
Don't know if he mentions this in the video, but they nerfed the OG Transcended skills
more T4 game modes will not fix the issue of me not T4-ing terrible T4s. The gamemode should requires specific characters/types. There is no reason to T4 certain types of characters cos they are not needed for game modes. they need to provide need so we can t4 characters. for example, blast/speed males and blast females are not needed for PVE game modes, so i will NOT be t4-ing them no matter how good (or bad) they are
Good discussion video
can you feel the MFF burnout? T_T
Would you buy a product that was good 40% of the time???
MFF t4 updates nowadays are like Apple releasing new Iphone....nothing new, nothing to excite about.
But you also need to remember not many people have that many T4 shit I got 6 and by December I’ll have 10
The issue is, people like you don’t understand what balancing is. The reason some upgraded characters suck is so people who don’t have as many or any don’t get left behind. Why do you think they give new players and players that come back so many different things? You know when the game actually became unbalanced? When Jean was originally introduced. It didn’t recover from that until last year, when they started to make characters that didn’t need the full upgrade to compete. PvP is never going to be perfectly balanced because people are A. Holes.
ALEX CAN YOU MAKE video for the best character in pvp and pve
Out of all the characters in the game only 5-6 everyone uses especially in pvp, the game is so unbalanced it's unreal, i gave up playing PvP was boring fighting the same team over and over
I think so what they need to hire is a marvel comics fan who can power scale T4 based on comics like doom is shit and spidergwen is better than her also they should start giving fan fav T4 like you said hulkbuster vs Wolverine why is he even have a T4 at first
Dormamu only t4? How are we suppose to get t4 then? 🤦♂️
Watch US Get A Native Tier 4.
Got her to 80. Still disappointing
I cant complete epic quest please help me
You Know Devs R Just Sadistic At This Point. LOL JK... sorry I got uni..game is dead. Not getting my money anymore for a while Now
The game become so boringgg.. i do minimal effort and no longer fully play every game mode, skipped story mode, shadowland, TLB, world event. Lol
*sigh* just release T5 already.
To be honest it is quite obvious the Devs don't care churning out good characters. The game is stale and getting boring. How about they stop making poor characters and rebuild some of the other T2 characters sitting in limbo. I find the new WBs boring as hell and see no reason to build T4. Just looks like the cash grabbing for poor characters is back in full effect.
I used to spend a fair bit now I see no reason to do so as the Devs don't care so the favour is being returned.
