Those were something good coming out of Marvel and Disney does this. We have to boycott them. No more supporting this corporation until they get their act together.

Yeah, I don't think that will work. Don't get me wrong, I love those games but not like that. Any freemium game I use money for is for small things only. That way I don't get mad about spending money on it.

if it is a real shame, the game had much more to offer
I started to play on the first anniversary of the game. I'm level 300+ I have all the heroes (I only need to finish the special operation) and say goodbye to the game :(
the only positive is that there is a lot of material that can be used for mugen

Aside from the fact that it's ridiculous to try and boycott one of the biggest and well known corporations in the world, I'm not allowed to talk bad about Disney due to....erm....family obligations.

Same, I had very nice heroes on Playdom. I never got to play properly on FB due to bad internet and the fact that FB has a lot of shit going on at the same time, which makes the game run extremely slow and laggy for people in my situation, plus, you could win some CP easily on Playdom with the teams game.
Still, a shame, loved this game

Does this decision to shut it down have something to do with Pokemon GO?

I'm not sure if this is somehow related but the arcade scene in a mall I go to where there are regular MVC2 and Tekken players seem to have dwindled. I'm thinking a lot of gamers have shifted to Pokemon GO. Made me think a lot of facebook and mobile gamers also moved on to the new app.

that was a low blow... I'm lvl 300+ with all the heroes and Adamantium league for the past 20 pvp seasons..
Since I got the notice I went shopping spree buying all the premium items since it doesn't matter anymore :p

It was kinda lampshaded before, eversince all the mayor villians joining your side, even those recently released. and the very rushed release of the chapter 12 with huge gold rewards

I don't think Pokemon Go has anything to do with either of those things. Ignoring that Pokemon Go has lost roughly half of its playerbase since launch, arcades have been in a sharp decline since home consoles became more mainstream (not to mention MvC2 is fucking old).

It'd be like me blaming Pokemon Go for the decreasing amount of Dance Dance Revolution fans here.

i played this game for three days back then and gave up on it because it relied way too much on timed shit and asking 300 of your friends to do things. fuck you

Only in a sense that they are shutting MAA down because it's not that popular anymore. MAA is Playdom's sole game that hasn't bombed and whales will only make them so much money

Sounds like someone needs to archive what they can from this game;

Can't let it go to waste...

Looks like someone's planning to revive this. It's going to be offline.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MultiverseSaviors/comments/6sgtqy/saviors_of_the_multiverse_reassembling_soon/

Quote
1) The game will be offline and it will be released on Thanksgiving or Christmas this year @gaminglifebeginner probably he will give us a link to download with various updates which will come soon to download like example v1.0 will be released first then after a while he will release v1.1 etc with some updates. 2)All specs ops will be present and its not going to be timely event. all specs ops heroes will be there in game. 3)PVP characters will be there like for 200 cp . And there is going to be rebalance in the cps for example dr strange will be for 90 cps etc.The pvp will come with an update after release with fake ai players as it is an offline game.Soon maybe pvp with local players MIGHT be possible. 4)Season 3 i am not sure sorry.... @gaminglifebeginner didn't give much information on that. 5)All items , supplies, heroes already released before shutting will be there like the supplies such as snowballs, chocolate bunnies, chrono boost, chrono-accelerator will be in the shop 6)I asked that question myself in the MAA Game improvement Survey and there was no answer to it as off yet. I think he needs artists to design the new hero models and uniforms if he wants to add new characters/heroes to the game.If done it will come in future updates. 6)It won't copyrighted this is major reason for the game being offline . He is not going to earn any sort of profit from the game.So the game won't be the usual "pay to win" where you would have to pay to actually progress.Its going to be "free to play" and everything can be farmed.And we cant buy gold (dude its offline). Hope i answered all your queries. :)

Since this amazing individual isn't affiliated with Marvel Entertainment, this is a wise move. Hopefully, trouble won;t follow close behind.

That's not really relevant to his point.

Arcades have been dying in everywhere (Except maybe outside of Asia).
Whether an arcade game's sequels are bad or not, that's not going to prevent an arcade's player base from decreasing in this day and age where people would rather play games at their home.

Yup. Arcades are pretty much alive in Southeast Asia.

Tekken is still popular. Hoping that DBFZ or MVCI would change that.

Even the Just Dance arcade machines have disappeared. Though I'm just basing it on my observation on a popular arcade business called Timezone here as other arcade franchises still invest in them like Denki or Tom's World. Just Dance community wasn't as active as before. Gamers in my country are still addicted to either Pokemon Go or Mobile Legends.

Not anymore. The original programmer GLB gave up. So the May release is cancelled.  --;

But the good news is there was another programmer who replaced him.  :angel:

Highlights:
GLB officially gone but project is still on going with Goofy Troll.
Active and supportive community.
New or added animations.

Major updates. Skip the first 5 minutes if you want to see the action immediately.  :nuttrox:

Hi folks.  For this video, I  go through some of the newer characters added in a small patch.  As I state in the video several times, I am NOT providing links to this patch.  It was small and introduced a few issues not present prior to loading the patch.  Goofy put out a fix but this setup is a bit involved so I'm choosing to not push it via this video.  When the next major release comes out, that will be different.

I was thrilled when I randomly picked Magik prior to filming the video.  She is one of the people I missed a lot and I actually played her to 60 in Marvel Heroes because I liked her so much here.  We also get some other fun characters like Herc, QS and more.  Sadly, QS is a bit broken in terms of amount of turns and going first in the order.  All in all though, very happy to play more Marvel characters!

So Alpha 5 has a release date  and it's under 2 weeks away.  This is going to be a HUGE alpha as it will have a lot of content including heroes, alts and even spec ops past spec ops 19.  2 new characters and a new alt are also teased for Season 3 in this video. Enjoy!

Hi guys. Some bad news. No download available for the Alpha 5 build. Good news is project is still on going despite backlash from impatient fans.




Quote
DO NOT ASK TO DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION.  DO NOT TALK ABOUT MOBILE VERSIONS.  DO  NOT ASK WHEN ALPHA 5 WILL BE AVAILABLE.

Now that I got that out of the way...here is what Goofytroll has so far on Alpha 5.  You can see a lot of things are working including the FULL roster being available.  You can see spec ops choices and I even had a bit of a guessing game on the gear (did you do as well as I did?).  Combat unfortunately was not working and Daredevill is flexing hard for some reason.  Want to see Spitfire again?  She's there.  Faiza and C&D?  They are there.  The beginning of the end with WT and Warlock?  They are there too.  Just be patient a bit longer.

PS-It's Sinestro that I was trying to think of with Leader LOL.  Shame on me.
