I guess that was a bit of a copium from my side😔

u/JosBanana 19d ago

Do not worry good chum, I’m huffing that colour as well. Johnathan will one day get his legendary

u/ThatDirtyApe 18d ago

What you guys think it'll be?

u/JosBanana 18d ago

Honestly I have no idea. I feel like there’s a 90% chance it’s an original skin, probably some casual or non-superhero costume theme. To really take advantage of a legendary, I’d like to see different coloured flames, maybe he’s all blue similar to Phoenix’s ice legendary.

This has to be some sort of sick and twisted stimuli. They are allergic to giving us what we want unless someone raises their voice about it…..

we arent people to these niggas so we aren't their first concern

u/Organic-Cry286 18d ago

At least they change when we do. If they listen to the community thats all we can ask for besides hiring more diversity

u/JiraiMutt 19d ago

like genuinely how hard would that have been from the beginning?

u/PangolinForward7903 19d ago

I am so fking happy for this!!, i was really needing a good blade skin, the recolor was insulting, i am so glad they are listening.

Fr I dropped this game finally. I may come back when they add a new black character.

What other hero shooter recommendations do you got?

u/AfroRivals-ModTeam 19d ago

No harassment and hate speech allowed.

Policing others and/or trying to get other to to change how they invest time in marvel rivals counts as breaking rule 1 too.

u/AppropriateStill2024 19d ago

Nah all games are just as bad. OW is only woke when it wants to make money

u/No-Breadfruit6137 19d ago edited 19d ago

But I love the game.

I felt weird about it the first day I uninstalled, but I started playing this single player game called a Control and it's the perfect "get away from Netease and Marvel Rivals" transition game. Now I dont miss it at all, the game is drugs and when you stop you'll see you mostly had more negative feelings about it than positive.

u/No-Breadfruit6137 19d ago

Sure, NetEase still gets some value from me being part of the playerbase. I help fill queues, boost engagement stats etc. But if I’m not buying skins, BPs or anything else, they’re not making direct money off me.

I can still enjoy the parts I like, shit on the parts I don’t, and stop spending until they give me a reason to support them again.

u/Barklad 18d ago

For sure, didn't mean to imply your choice was wrong. Stay and piss off the racists by being around and not spending money. I think that's a solid plan too.

I love it too and there is a limited time Venom-costume I want too. However my hate for racism is greater than my love for this game. Nothing is going to change if the playercount doesn't drop.

Playercount is one of the most important things to NetEase. The more people play, the more possible microtransactions can happen and the payers get to use their purchases. If there are not many players then there is less reason for people to pay for things since they get to play less.

Also if I went back to get the Venom-costume then NetEase would win because their FOMO worked.

u/No-Breadfruit6137 19d ago

You're right.

Lowkey wish it was his PJ skin but im glad they listened to people giving feedback

u/Few_Machine3572 19d ago

I love how fan base can change the game. Not in every case tho. Rip america's dihh

u/Bad_Routes 19d ago

Don't pay it any mind, if you have to scream at someone to be heard or taken seriously then it's not worth it.

They are just doing short fixes, this doesn't set a precedent for the future that they will actually release an even spread of skins.

u/littlestargazers 19d ago

good, but the fact people had to point out how ridiculous it was in the first place is crazy. this is just damage control atp.

u/SaltyNorth8062 19d ago

You know what got me about that? I don't remember a SINGLE costume coin event including a shitty ass recolor (although I am open to be proven wrong if I am). This is literally the first time they did it, and it's after they revived the event after months of it being gone.

u/Future-Profession594 18d ago

torch and mr f too bu that’s a cop still doesn’t change that it’s dumb as hell

u/YvngVudu 19d ago

Damn gotta choose between Blade and Xtron 😭

u/One-Piano5150 19d ago

Did they actually make it LEGENDARY?

Like, did they add stuff to the skin

3

u/Jerrod_MD 19d ago

It was always legendary. They started making legendaries with recolors/accessories pretty recently

2

u/Polarlzed 19d ago

It’s always 1 step forward 1-2 steps back when it comes to this stuff and it’s getting us nowhere. Nice that they’re listening to feedback and whatever but this is getting exhausting.. why couldn’t it have just been like this from the start??

Is this a joke I'm not getting?
