Wednesday was tax day for people in the United States, a day usually accompanied by a great deal of eye-rolling and tooth-gnashing and money changing hands. So perhaps some new stuff in Marvel Heroes would help take the edge off? Maybe at a steep discount? Maybe even with some bonus currency for your efforts?
Yes, the game is holding a sale, and it’s for a limited time but there’s no firm end date specified as of this writing. During the sale, all heroes and costumes are half price (four costumes are excluded from the sale, one each for the Invisible Woman, Daredevil, the Winter Soldier, and Gambit) and all purchases of G have 15% extra added to the usual purchase amount. So take the edge off of spending money on taxes by spending it on something a bit more fun.

BalsBigBrother Cartap Damonvile It’s one of the reasons MH is great…I feel like whenever I log in they’re like ‘Sorry we didn’t give you enough stuff last time. Here’s MORE STUFF!’
Also, the vast majority of character updates makes the characters even more powerful and fun to play. Sometimes I worry that they’re too OP. Then I realize they’re superheroes, I’m not a dev, and go have fun instead. “Today we just allowed you to take on another 10 mobs at once! Enjoy!”
I was one of the ones who seriously scoffed at this game when I first heard about it. No customization? preset heroes? $200 for the preorder pack of all the characters? No thanks. Then I played it, and it was good. So…yeah, I totally preordered the most recent Advance Pack of next round of heroes. No regrets.
It’s like a crack dealer showing up when he hears you’ve got some cash.
BalsBigBrother Cartap Damonvile Id be curious to see what % of their sales are bank space, vs everything else that they sell (costumes, characters, fortune cards, etc)
Cartap Damonvile there has been some talk of giving some more bank space away but well they do have to make money somewhere so I don’t really begrudge them if nothing comes of it. They give a lot away and you can get pretty much every other part of the game by spending time instead of money so as you say its one of the better f2p games on the market at the moment :-)
Damonvile Except for bank space, which is really tight unless you spend some money. Still easily one of the better f2p models out there and it seems to be working for them.
I jumped all over this thing, oh man I have been waiting to get She-Hulk and her amazingly sexy lawyer outfit (what can I say, glasses…) …but this sale also means I can get Squirrel Girl and her awesome aviator outfit as well! YAAAY! I’m grinning from ear to ear this morning~ <3
You really have to hand it to these guys. They know how to monetize the shit out of their game without rubbing it in your face every second while you play. It’s a really great example of how it can be done.
