Marvel Heroes Online

There are actually 4 (I think) action bars. But you can only display 1 at a time.
You can switch between them using the 1-4 keys (the numeric keys row).

Yeah, but doing so when hordes of enemies are swarming you in real-time is just plain annoying. 

Perhaps I've been spoiled on all the other MMOs, with their new-fangled multiple action bar options.  But perhaps they should also get with a more modern interface.  :))

That's quite true.
Which character are you playing right now that requires so many active/slotted powers?

I've not played much lately but I had been doing Emma Frost somewhat steadily.  She was fine for the most part but there was no more room for her extra Mind Control ability (for enslaving a mob) along with her normal attack/defense abilities.  I recall being pressed for an extra slot or two on others. 

Everyone mentions Dr Strange as another one with a wide array of abilities which will not fit on the bar.  I've not got him yet, but he's definitely one I want to get soon since I almost have the shards. 

The single bar at once thing has put me off it a bit, so I've not played much in the hopes we'd get such a UI improvement.  There was scuttlebutt that it was "on the to-do list" a few months ago but I don't know how seriously it was taken.  Even adding two extra slots to the current one would make a big difference.  There was a mod that helped you do something like that but it involved manually editing stuff and then having to do so again if updates messed with it.  Meh. 

Not a nagging issue since I only play MHO when I just want to break stuff and not think terribly hard.  :D

I'm still trying to search for a good Emma Frost build.
She's so diverse in her abilities that she's just not powerful or interesting enough in any of them so far.

Downloaded this after playing at a friend's house.
It's a pretty fun game so far and it looks very beautiful. I went for Gambit as my first character. Level 8 now and so far loving his ranged abilities. :)

It's definitely fun for when you wanna wreck stuff, loot, and level up.  It's a Marvel themed Diablo-style MMORPG.  With stuff flying everywhere.  Not too difficult to jump into after stretches or for something more straightforward and action-y.

I think you still get three free characters in the early game at different points, including your first one.  But those come from a small subset of all available.  Not sure if they rotate who's in that subset.  Then you can collect shards to unlock more as you go or just plain buy 'em if you want.

She's one of those dual-purpose mixes of Melee and Ranged.  Prime candidate for one of those that could use some extra ability slots on-screen.  ;)  I ran with a mostly Ranged setup while levelling through but she can take a bit of a beating in Melee Diamond form, so I still switched to melee sometimes when the damage was coming in pretty hot and she became noticeably less squishy.    Not gonna win any DPS contests, but the extra survivability options are nice.

Well, I got my Emma Frost to level 60.
Now I guess I shall be working on Hawkeye.

[Tpek]

Hawkeye level 60 today.
Starting to level Luke Cage, at least until Rogue comes out (probably this Friday).

You, sir, are a machine.

Iron Man is pretty awesome.
He was probably changed since I last played him, but he was the ultimate ranged dps/tank.
He was near unkillable with the proper build and items, and could do loads of damage while enjoying pretty much endless energy :)

[Tpek]

Rogue will not be coming out today after all, what a shame :(
Ohh well, the devs are supposed to have something else for us.

[Tpek]

Well, Luke Cage is 60 now as well :)
I might play a bit of Human Torch until Rogue comes out (hopefully this Friday).

[Tpek]

Since Rogue was delayed yesterday, yet again, I went on to get my Human Torch to 60.
Now it's Nightcrawler's time to hit the ol' 60.  :-[

[Tpek]

Say, am I the only one still attached to this game? :P

My Nightcrawler is level 60 and I'm leveling Silver Surfer a bit now.
