Hey News Lad!

First off, I just wanna congradulate you and all of VV for an amazing game. Some huge improvemens from the first, and I’m looking forward to the future of it (DLC, sequels, etc.)

Here are some questions I have:

1. Is there any way to turn off the auto upgrading when you don’t play as other characters? Cause I fid it a bit annoying to change it everytime.

2. The simulator Missions are pretty cool. Can Heroic Deeds work in them? I’m having trouble with some (5 non-fusion KO’s really), and it would help a bunch if Heroic Deeds can be done in them.

3. I’m loving the improvements on the female characters. Which one is your favorite?

4. How did you guys choose costumes? While some looked amazing (Spider-Man, Thor, Storm, etc.) some were very odd and obscure (Iceman, Iron Fist, etc.)

And I’m trying REALLY REALLY hard not to ask about DLC, but I’m just dying to know: Will there be a Gold addition of this game after you complete the DLC?

Thank you in advance

Couple issues newslad!

- Storm’s hail storm not hitting anything while she is flying.
- Storm’s funnel cloud can’t be spammed like every other pop-up move. (is this intentional?)
- Storm’s lightning strike & funnel cloud dealing HALF damage in co-op.

Is there any word on patching up glitches such as these? Thanks!

News Lad, I would like to know if you guys would consider making a purely CW game with now SW or anything like that and with three endings where pro wins, another where Anti wins, and the final where no one wins?

I was planning on making a poll to see how many would like much more of CW because this game was called Fusion and was not strictly CW and was mainly a focus on fusion. Would you guys consider making one if we really wanted one and the idea is well received on the poll of the thread I am going to make?

Hey News Lad!
A question for the game artists; In Storm’s concept art she is shown with a hole in her headpiece, http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/Boybanshee/Picture1.png
but in the game, the hole is a small ditch.

Could you find out if this was done intentionally, and what other design considerations had to be made for Storm.

Ok scratch the CW thing and make another war oriented game like the Skrull invasion like Stan Lee suggested in that one behind the scenes video? And bring back all the characters from this game and add in more characters such as the original Venom?

Hi everyone. Great job on the game, love it.
OK, so here’s the deal. After i finish it on Legendary, i’m gonna want to play the game but just not story mode. So, are you guys doing any other game modes? If yes, when will it be?

I’m sorry if the question was already asked…

Some of us European’s have received our Juggernaut codes from Gamestop. Would these codes be region locked?

Hi folks,

Stopping by work for a few hours today, so I figured I’d answer some questions while I’m here. First off, to everyone who’s said they’re enjoying the game, thanks! I’m really glad you’re digging it.

Now, onto the questions!

AdamnessX - Can you re-phrase the question?  I’m not sure what you mean.


Rinswind - I actually wasn’t in on the decision making process for Juggernaut, I’ll see if Dan has anything to say.  I will say that when I first heard about it, I was a little skeptical, because in the comics he tends to traverse through fights rather than actually getting into them, so I wasn’t sure how we’d make him fun for the game while still making him true to the character.  However, once I loaded him up into my game for the first time, I was won over. I guess that’s why I’m a narrative designer rather than powers designer. As for who uses him on their team, I’m not sure!  I think Jen mentioned him during our last round of interviews.


Loki54 - Hmm… That’s a tough one, because the ones I was hoping would return were already on the roster when I started working on the game (Deadpool and Iron Man). Personally I’d love to see The Spot, but I have a thing for c-list characters who die a lot.  Due to his powers and lack of popularity, though, he never had a chance.


Londonmark: Gamestop has run out of site VIP codes, not Juggernaut codes; I had a full answer to this in the previous thread, but since I just closed that one down a couple nights ago, a lot of people probably hadn’t seen it.  Re-posting:

It looks like there’s some confusion between VIP codes and Juggernaut codes.  If you pre-ordered Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, you are entitled for a Juggernaut code AND a VIP code.  You should receive the Juggenaut code via an e-mail from GameStop.  Everyone who has pre-ordered the game prior to 9.15.09 is entitled to a Juggernaut code.  You receive a MUA2 VIP code on a slip of paper from GameStop stores.  The codes that Gamestop has run out of are VIP codes for this site.  We will be happy to send you a VIP code that you can use to get your VIP access to the MUA2 community.  The Juggernaut codes need to come directly from GameStop.  So if you send an e-mail to Gamestop customer service, make sure to specify that the code you need is for the Juggernaut Pre-Order Promotion.


gogetg - We’re keeping track of feedback but I don’t know what would or wouldn’t be in scope. :( That issue was brought up on the previous thread so we’re definitely aware of it, though.


beastfromtheeast - I’ll definitely be bringing you the proper info with ETAs as soon as I have it; if we have an announcement of this sort, I’ll definitely want to make sure it goes in the FAQ.

AndrewE - See above.

incredible_hulk 88 - Yup!  That’s free stuff, we want you to be able to play with your friends.


T dog - Nope, you don’t lose anything, you’ll be keeping everything as you start over on Legendary. There’s no way to “lose” the things you’ve gotten as long as you make sure to save to a save slot and don’t overwrite your auto-save. Starting a new game doesn’t erase your old one.


bestfakehobo - For Sim Missions, we wanted to include a bunch of fun-to-play scenarios, some that spoke to core gameplay mechanics from the main game, but it was also a place we brought in some cool ideas we weren’t able to fit into the main levels (like the How Are De Ducks one).  We opted not to go with Comic Missions because those focused on particular characters or sets of characters, and we wanted to make sure that all Sim Missions were accessible to everybody. Also, if you haven’t tried the Sim Missions in Co-Op I’d recommend it, it adds a lot to the experience.

Eldelsa01 - I don’t know what the scope of DLC is, but any of those things are possible.

Gambit1024 - 1.  I believe auto-upgrading kicks back in after 5 level-ups without editing a
character. Not sure how it’s handled for characters who aren’t in the active team.

2. Heroic Deeds should work in Sim Missions, I don’t think we set up deliberate limits on where they would or wouldn’t.

3. My favorite female is probably Songbird at this point.  Invisible Woman’s still got a spot on my team, though.

Psylocke4DLC & Jaymeorjme - Thanks for letting me know, I’ll make sure that gets passed on. Personally I don’t know what the status is there.

Empath fan - We probably wouldn’t do another game just on Civil War, especially not one that removed Secret War because the events of that arc lead up to Civil War in a very concrete way. This was our big Civil War game; we’d probably want to tackle something new if we get the chance to do another one. EDIT for your more recent post: Yeah, Skrulls could definitely be a candidate.  I’m not high enough up on the totem pole to say whether we’d do it or not, though.


Boy Banshee - Any deviations from concept to costume were definitely intentional, I’ll see if I can get one of the artists to cover why this change was made. 

AdamnessX - Ack, I have no idea on regions for codes.  Maybe? Regardless, after you download him it stays with your XBOX, so it shouldn’t matter as long as you use the code when you get it.  If I get any more information on this I’ll let you know.

Okidoke, I gotta scoot.  See you all on Monday!

AdamnessX - 18 September 2009 04:07 PM

Oh crap I forgot my question. Give me 5 minutes.

EDIT: I remembered. What character do you least get one with?

Sorry it’s a British phrase lol.

Which character are you least compatible with? You see I’m trying to avoid using the word worst lol.

Hello

I want to know if the game (on Xbox360) for Europe has a translation ?
The menus (texts etc) are translate in french for example ?

Thanks for the answer

Well this was posted in a thread that i posted on the last page. So i’m not quite sure what’s going on.

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for contacting GameStop.com.

If you are writing concerning the Marvel Ultimate Alliance Juggernaut code please be advised that we have exhausted our supply of these free codes. The Juggernaut codes were advertised as while supplies last.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Best Regards,

John

Customer Service Supervisor

And here’s another thread where people talk about not receiving their Juggernaut codes.

http://www.herohq.com/forums/viewthread/14527/

I think Newslad was suggesting that John from customer services was/is clueless. They don’t know what they’re doing. Ring them and bug them until you speak to someone high enough to know what’s going on?

No it’s alright i already got my Juggernaut code (eventually). Because they originally sent me a Juggernaut code for the wrong version of the game. So i had to wait 2 and a half days before they sent me the right code.

Anyway i was just asking this question for people who are still having problems getting their Juggernaut code.

@newslad:

Will we be getting DLC before christmas?

First I would like to say, great game. I’m not sure if this is the right place for this or not, but any chance of there being harder difficulties for dlc? While the game is very fun, even on legendary it was not that difficult when playing with friends.
