I think that you wont be able to answer this but...
Will Black Panther be Special Ops or Buyable?
If Buyable, Permanent or Limited?

Will there be any more different Hero team up bonuses in the future ?

You know one for Hulk/Thing/Wolverine as a team-up earns Fighting buddies

Or Spider-man and the Human Torch team up earns joking buddies


Also will there be any female heroines added into the storyline in the future ?

Since colossus got a bonus with his uniform, will the past alternate uniforms get a additional bonus?

First that all thanks for make this possible to communicate with developers, and second i want to make a question about 2 x men:

1st: Colossus: the new 2 costumes of colossus have a new ability to protect 3 times the members of ur own team so my question is: what happen then with the 2nd ability of colossus: protect 1 round the members of my own team, i mean, for what colossus need that 2nd ability is a waste of ability, i think u need to check that to create one new 2nd ability for colossus.

2nd: cyclops: why the 4th ability of cyclops is named "Mega optic blast" and the 1st ability only "optic blast" and make more dammage to the enemy than the "mega optic blast".

thats all i wanted to share with developers and i hope they really modify that little things because the game is awesome and i love it. thanks.

It has came to my attention that there are some people who have completed Special Operations (whether they had to buy their way or earn it) before the difficulty was lowered (Lower Star Mastery Scores, Lower Enemy Difficulty), and managed to get Mockingbird before the difficulty was lowered. After realizing that the difficulty was lowered, this gives other people to get Mockingbird without the fears of failure. For those who have 5-starred Special Operations before the time was extended by one week and the difficulty and score requirements were eased up, would it be possible if those players who completed the Mockingbird campaign on its original difficulty get something since there are players who have beaten Spec Ops on its normal (Bit-Too-High) difficulty before the difficulty was lowered?

I was amongst one of the people who completed Spec Ops on its original difficulty and had Mockingbird on my ranks before the difficulty was lowered and time was extended by a week. More if I have any questions.

Are there any plans to develop any additional game modes?

Perhaps a Training Mode where you could enhance your Agent's individual stats by playing some Mini Games specific for each stat.

A mode where you could unlock and play a level from the Villians perspective and have them in your Penitentiary(Perhaps Playable in PVP).

A Game Mode where you could be the pilot of a Remote Ops mission where you had to take off, refuel in air, land under heavy fire and return home.

A game mode where you have to wiretap or eavesdrop on the Maggia, Hand, or other random villians to uncover the plans to move to a new level or challenge.

1) Instead of purchasing new outfits with specific ability sets on them, could we purchase "kits" that housed the buffs/abilities/different classes and then put it onto a uniform we want? That way, if someone likes Ms. Marvel's default outfit, but wants her as a Bruiser, they can just buy that kit and put it onto the outfit. Or if someone likes Colossus' new passive ability that is associated with his new uniform, but hated his new uniform's aesthetic, they could take the kit that housed the class and ability of their choosing and put it onto the uniform they like best. Keeping aesthetic uniforms as items to be purchased is fine, but it'd just be really nice to have more customization ability. So we can have our heroes with the iconic looks we want, and with the class/perks we rather have on them.

2.) Skill trees/skill point allocation for our Heroes? ISO brings boosts to a Hero's stats, but will they be further customization for Heroes? Like being able to put skill points to amplify certain abilities and their effectiveness, helping to make character builds per Hero more unique?

Since these questions weren't answered last time that I saw anywhere...

1) When you go to fix an item or "nerf" it as some in the forum would say, why not do it a little bit at a time instead of all at once? That way you can see the effect the small change will have and maybe not get as much negative feedback when you go overboard sometimes.

2) A game I played once created something called a player panel. Basically they took certain members from the forum who were very active and seemed to know a lot about how the game worked and had those members given their own private section in the forum that only they, and the mods could see. In this case it was a group of 12 players(wanted it small but large enough that idea's would get fully discussed). In that section the player panel would talk about improvements that would be good to have in the game and when they were all in agreement over something, they then made a suggestion to the developers. It seemed to work fairly well for the most part. Would there possibly be any plans in the future of using something like this?

3) Are there any plans on improving your customer service? I don't know about everyone else here but I get a little annoyed when I type out a long support ticket about something that happened that wasn't supposed to happen only to get a canned response. I understand that you probably get a lot of support tickets day in and day out but we should at least get a personal reply that is actually talking about what we sent the support ticket about.

Can you add a blacksmith into the store area so you can upgrade your favorite weapon to bring it up to par with your current level for all weapons? Charge silver for store bought items and items acquired on missions and gold for any item bought with gold. I think every current player would enjoy this feature and maybe later on add another feature to blacksmithing where you can imbue weapons with certain properties.


1 more thing.. please rerelease coulson's revenge was expensive and I didn't have the money at the time to get it.
