Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch

We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

Will Thanos Be Playable?

Serious question. We know he's going to be playable in another mobile game and we all saw the character leaks on Reddit for the next three months. The big question is Thanos. Will he actually be playable, or is this just a preview of the obvious boss we deal with in the next EQ? Honesty and transparency appreciated.

    He's already playable for the players that were the first ones to beat the Labyrinth.

    In short: probably not. The reason being that Thanos is such a large villian in the MU. Unlike other villains like Doc Oc, Dormammu, and even Ultron, every marvel hero must fight Thanos together (with the exception of ones such as Mordo and whatnot). He is so strong, it wouldn't be likely that Kabam will distribute him so freely to everyone.

    Thanos is technically playable, as he was given out to the players who completed some story quest the fastest. With only a few dozen being distributed, I don't think this really counts though.

    Right, and I think he should only be available to those who earned him through LOL and Act 5 (note I am not one of those). I think that he needs to be the ultimate luxury item.

    From the looks of it, he will never be a playable champion. He was designed to be a quest boss only.

    Just saw the update notes spilled on Reddit. No way in Hell is he going to be playable, he looks rather stacked.

    Yeah personally I think Kabam is overkill with this making everything good impossibly hard to get strategy but personally my business model would be way different. There is no reason for Thanos IG to not be playable but I’m sure he will be incredibly rare if he’s even made available at all and realistically only for the super whale community. Or some junk 3* that’s good for nothing anyways.

    Looking at this new Thanos abilities on reddit, I'm already scared to fight him. He has this insta kill mechanic which is bs. He seems even worse than the collector.
