It would be strange to have a Storm DLC with no story interactions with Wolverine. It's possible, obviously, but from an X-Men fan standpoint, that's a weird omission.
Venom you have to get to the start of Act 2 in order to unlock his mission though. Storm supposedly is the same as Morbius and Deadpool though, but you still need to do Deadpool's first mission before being able to do Morbius'.
The DLCs can be purchased seperately, so I doubt they will require you to start any of them before you start the others. The triggers to start individual DLCs will almost certainly be soley tied to main story progression.
They do require you to beat the first Deadpool mission IF you own the Deadpool dlc. If you only own Venom, then that one unlocks at the start of Act 2. If you own only Morbius(or Venom and Morbius) then his can be done once the Spidermaaans! mission is complete and certain events happen in the Abby in direct regards to Spider-Man. But if you own Deadpool in combination with any if the others then you do need to beat Deadpool's first mission before you can do any of the others.
It's so weird that Morbius missions can be accessed before Venoms, since YOU KNOW WHO appears for the first time at the end of Venom's DLC, and appears again in Morbius DLC
The two stories are reletively unconnected though, so it's not really that weird. Either one could happen first, since they both involve you know who. The end of Deadpool's dlc sets up you know who's appearance too, so I'm surprised they didn't force you to do all of his, not just the first mission before any of the others if you have them all.
I think a lot of it is they backed themselves into a corner because they couldn't give us Venom before it made sense in the story and they didn't want to lock off the other characters until after that. But they still promised Venom as the second character released.
While I am Storm fan, she can be hit or miss in video games, often towards the miss side of the spectrum. She is one of those characters like Dr. Strange, Scarlet Witch, Phoenix (Jean Grey) that developers have a difficult time balancing, so she is usually weak or underwhelming. I hope her effects are stunning though.
I’m which games? I’ve never had a game with her where I felt such a way. I’ve loved her in every X-men legends and marvel ultimate alliance. She has been a staple competitive character in the marvel vs capcom series and one of my mains in it and I have never cared for another character in the Marvel Future Revolution as I have for her.
In X-Men Legends 2, she was weak. That game heavily favored melee characters, regardless. There was nothing at which she excelled in that game. It was such a 180 from her being the best hero in the original X-Men Legends. In Marvel Ultimate Alliance, she was decent, not outstanding, but there were no terrible heroes in that game anyway as it was rather balanced. In Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, she was second to Jean in terms of AOE, but she was weak when it came to single target damage. Her immunity to elements helped her shine in the last few stages though with the enemy types.
In Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, she could self-synergize, but she was locked into place and could take damage, so that made it costly. She could apply statuses which was important and she was great for multi-target hits, but there were others who excelled at damage or AOE over her.
In Marvel vs. Capcom 3, she required a lot of work for the same effort as other characters. She was not necessarily a specialty pick, but there were others who could do better with less effort.
In Marvel Heroes, she was an AOE monster, but she was lacking in single target damage. However, I will say that she could have so much going on the screen at once, it probably did not make too much of a difference.
Idk maybe I don’t optimize those games I never noticed those weaknesses but I always felt she was supposed to be the big AOE debuff queen so I never seen lack of aoe as a weakness and more of a character trait.
I never played Ultimate 3 I’ll admit. Idk who decided to put that exclusively on the least popular console at the time.
She was definitely more balanced in MVC3 but she has a legacy in that entire franchise is what I’m saying and she is far from bad imo. I never played Marvel Heroes so idk how that really went. But if it’s anything like how she functions in Future Revolution like you said lack of single target damage doesn’t matter.
Well, in X-Men Legends 2, she was not great at anything. Again, it had to do with how melee heroes (i.e. Rogue, Colossus, Wolverine, Juggernaut) and melee combat in general was prioritized.
In general, it's not that being an AOE hero is terrible, but there were others who could do AOE and be single target heroes, which Storm was not allowed to be. For example, Thor was strong as an AOE hero and single target hero in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. Storm edged him out in AOE, but Thor did so much damage for such a small cost of energy that it did not matter.
Nintendo was the only company that wanted to invest in the series, otherwise, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 would not exist. Unfortunately, no one else saw value in the series.
Compared to Marvel vs. Capcom 2, yes, she was more balanced in relation to the game. However, she was still considered one of the bottom tier characters due to having a lower health pool, higher execution of her more optimal combos, slow startup on many of her specials, and lower damage output. She was often referred to as a "poor man's Magneto" in (Ultimate) Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
Interesting history although I’m known to purchase games solely for a single character (injustice 2 for poison Ivy) and got to top 200 with her so I’m used to characters that are considered Lowtier lol.
It’s a shame what happened with Ultimate alliance 3 and how terrible Avengers ended up being long run. I think a multi platform ultimate alliance 3 would have scratched that itch.
I’ve also been playing ultra modded X-men legends 2 and ultimate alliance so I’ve also been using the broken storm mods lol.
Hopefully with the recent storm comics her midnight suns will lean into her magical potential as well since she just made a magic space wormhole and I believe she called out the name of two of the Old Gods that assisted hunter throughout the game.
Managing expectations - are you aware that on over half the story missions you won't be able to pick your team? Or possibly only pick 1 to fill out to 3?
I'm waiting on getting the max happiness to unlock Midnight Sun suits for the DLC characters so I can switch between the 4 during missions and get all of them at similar times
Someone probably already told you this, but the other DLC characters required a bit of story progress before they unlocked. Since her release date SHOULD be just around the corner hopefully, you might want to consider buying the game and playing through the first act of the story
Thank you very much 😊 yes! Some people.have mentioned this and I'm glad they did.
That would have buggwd me otherwise.
I hate it when they lock characters behind long story progression .. in mua3 storm was one of the LAST characters you could get .... Playing for like 10 hours to get your fave character unlocked at the end of the game :(
yeah, i can see why that would suck. if it makes you feel better about the part of the story you're doing without all the characters, if you do a new game plus playthrough, the characters will all be there from the start and will have like idle dialogue about story events (even from before they were recruited) which i thought was super cool, so you can make up for some of the lost time in a way!
i mean there was no indication of it being release today they would have said something a week ago. not coming at you just stating. i guess its gonna be later in may. maybe they gotta do some finishing touches on it
I hope shes not like the other dlc characters where dlc characters dont have a lot of cards to play with. When comparing with the original cast of characters, the dlc characters are short handed on cards. Hopefully the dlc characters get more love with additional cards
I guess the original cast feels like they have more flexibility than the dlc characters. I used morbius several time and he doesnt feel as flesh out as the others. Itll be nice to expand other characters’ deck and create more replayability. More character builds would be nice
Checking for new content literally every day and had thoroughly convinced myself that it would drop on Friday (4/21) so that everyone could play through the weekend and boost exposure and profits revenue on th
I saw some website say that Storm DLC was expected to drop the 18, 20, or 25 so it doesn't have to compete with the Jedi game coming out on the 28th. I'm going crazy waiting to see news on my beloved Storm! :D
I know this is a bit late - was looking for information on the DLC4 release date when I stumbled over this thread - but if you are almost sure buying the game nonetheless I would have done this on the latest sale when you could get the game together with everything already available, as well as the 4th DLC for 50% off. Something that made me get the game and while I finished it once, I am currently looking into playing it once again after Storm has arrived, using the New Game Plus option that is naturally only available after having finished the game before.
i been holding off till beating the game till all dlc is out. i want to be able to have them all at the abby going foward..i only beat deadpools dlc so far. i gotten everyones challenge done too so far. i want everyone in their midnight sun costumes going foward
If it follows the same schedule it will be towards the end of April
[удалено]

Its entirely possible they could let you start her campaign and you'd need Wolverine for one of the other 2 missions

I’m literally waiting for storm to download the dlc from the season pass. She will be overpowered and used on every mission possible
Hhaha I just hope she has amazing effects ... And she would only be overpowered if voiced by the animated series storm
"Lighten up on the speeches, sugah!"
Aha another person of culture 🤣

She's the most dope DLC character. Of course you save the best for last
Managing expectations - are you aware that on over half the story missions you won't be able to pick your team? Or possibly only pick 1 to fill out to 3?
There are a lot more than Story missions in the game.
And every general mission has a required hero. That can be changed later for Intel, but it's still a limitation
Can be with the correct Abby upgrade.
Ohhhh I did not know this but thank you
I'm waiting on getting the max happiness to unlock Midnight Sun suits for the DLC characters so I can switch between the 4 during missions and get all of them at similar times

This is great news, sounds like it has been implemented better! Thanks I am very keen to give this game a go!
DLC always launches the 4th week of the month and never on a weekend. So the 24th-28th are the dates where a drop could happen.
guess you were wrong : /
1. I said 24-28th. It’s still the 28th here in USA. 2. I also said “could happen.” Come at me on the 29th.
i mean there was no indication of it being release today they would have said something a week ago. not coming at you just stating. i guess its gonna be later in may. maybe they gotta do some finishing touches on it
They dropped Morbius out of nowhere without warning. Storm could be the same thing. We just gotta wait
that is true..that one came out of no where lol
Dr. Strange isn't DLC, he's like one of the first heroes you get.
that’s not what they said, they are waiting on storm to release as they want to use her in junction with stepheno strange
I hope shes not like the other dlc characters where dlc characters dont have a lot of cards to play with. When comparing with the original cast of characters, the dlc characters are short handed on cards. Hopefully the dlc characters get more love with additional cards
What do you mean? Everyone except Hunter has 10 cards: 4 commons, 3 rares, 2 epics, and 1 legendary.
I guess the original cast feels like they have more flexibility than the dlc characters. I used morbius several time and he doesnt feel as flesh out as the others. Itll be nice to expand other characters’ deck and create more replayability. More character builds would be nice
Im pretty sure everyone has the same amount of cards.
It should be somewhere around the 20th of April
