Stream Recap - August 4, 2023

Ackbar67

Buckle up folks, there is a LOT

August Content - Vanishing Point/Legendary Incursions

Side Quest is Incursions based, with lessons learned from the previous attempt. Everything will be streamlined. A daily bonus to hit milestones, 1 room per day. 2 stores with 2 different currencies. Many buffs have been tweaked or removed. New Boost nodes, and room layouts have changed. Hacks will be permanent as well. Details should be live on the forum now.

New Champions - Vox/Photon

Vox generates lots of "Corrupted Buffs", which can be converted into lots of degen debuffs, which can be turned into more buffs, and on and on. He can also stack the precision from dexterity multiple times. There is a prefight which disables dashing back. He has undermine and vigilance for utility, and is designed mostly as an attacker.
Photon builds lots of debuffs, has unblockable specials, and can go untouchable. She can turn off willpower and in a certain mode disables dexterity. Immune to neutralize, mediums can't miss, and can parry non-contact attacks. Designed more as a defender, but a very useful counter to many mystics. She will be the first release in August.
Deep dives will go live over the weekend

Narrative Roadmap

Lots of details and champion teases for content through the end of year. If you're interested on where the story will go, check out the vod.

Thanks for the recap. Much appreciated.

For champs:

September - Gladiator (Cosmic), Unknown
October - Morbius (Mystic?), Unknown
November - Masters of Evil
December - Onslaught (Mutant), Unknown (Mutant?)

They were mentioning something during the Gladiator event about someone being "ONE" I feel like that was a hint. And under the earth or under the planet? I don't quite remember but is that potentially someone connected to the the Eternals/Celestials? I find it hard to think it would be someone like Galactus.

For October, they mentioned Morbis having "goons" and a posse, not doing it alone. They also made reference to a swamp. I was hoping Goblin Queen until they mentioned the swamp reference.

Who do we want for Masters of Evil? Personally I'm hoping Songbird is added.

And lastly, if we get another mutant for December I'm hoping an omega-level Jean Grey.

This is awesome, thanks OP for sitting through the livestream so those of us who don't like it don't have to. You're great for creating this easier-to-digest content.

ILoveDrDoom

This all sounds exciting! I can't wait for this stuff to come out

People in stream chat didnt appreciate We have Jack Black at home enough. You could tell he was super excited and passionate about the story and wanted to really get into. We all wanted to see the content and rewards but you at least gotta respect the amount of time, effort and passion into stuff like that

pseudosane

You are AWESOME

Thanks for the recap.

I haven’t watched but could they have been referring to One Below All and maybe the connection to The Leader?

Past couple of years we been getting 1 champ in December I don't see them changing that especially since they go on long break in December

I'd die if they introduce Omega-level Santa in December 😍
