Thoughts on the New Costumes this Season?

I think Jubilee’s is cool, definitely fits for the vampire aesthetic.

Grey Hulk on the other hand…his lips are…unsettling, to say the least. It’s giving me Joker vibes

Absolutely with you on Jubilee,

didn’t see the lips before, he def looks like Joker, or some guy coming into your house and forcing you to „cover yourself with the lotion!"

Jubes look pretty cool.

Better than some previous ones, for sure.

I really hope they plan to make an actual Grey Hulk (Banner) - probably(?) Joe Fixit - as a character release.

Because now we have a Grey Ross and a Grey Cho, but to my knowledge neither one was actually grey in the comics, as that’s the original Banner Hulk color and was returned to much later - but now like 20 years ago.

In any case, it’s weird to keep making the wrong Hulks grey.

The Jubilee costume is fine and I use her in DDQ on purpose a lot so I can see it pretty often.

I’d imagine we might get a Grey Hulk later this year

If I’m paying 2000 for the season pass I’d like some more effort done for the costumes

I’m not going to be paying 2000HP for the season pass, so I suppose I’m not all that bothered.

I do think these simple colour palette shifts have been really low effort & low impact though. Haven’t been appealing to me in the slightest

I really like Jubilee’s.

I had to squint in game to discern any difference in Amadeus, and now I’ve seen it clearly I don’t like.

P.S. Hope we get another Cho some day - was never a fan of the Hulkening, I’m surprised they still haven’t (fully) walked that back in the comics yet.

You may be both happy and, possibly, sad soon depending on a number of factors.

I will note that Asian and Pacific Islander is May in the US, which historically has driven a number of theme months and things in the game.

They should’ve used Cho’s outfit from Imperial.

I really like the Jubilee one. Don’t much care for the Cho grey hulk, even if the lips weren’t terrible.

These color swaps have been really hit and miss for me. I either love them (White costume Iron Fist, Red phoenix, blue venom) or I hate them (smurf loki, creamsicle falcon, bomb pop winter soldier) but they are giving them away for free or a small amount of HP each season so I can’t complain much.

I wholeheartedly agree, for both the good and the bad. And it’s nice to have some variety with such a large roster. While “real” costumes would be nice, having free ones to look forward to is cool, plus if they ever give them out again in the future it’s free HP so win-win

Y’all expect people to pay $10 for a color swap costume, for a character that no one uses, while so many players can’t even get the game to run long enough to buy it in the first place???

Nah, they’re expecting you to pay it for 2000 HP at a good discount with a some stuff thrown in and a future 500 HP

oh, and 6stars shards at its cheapest cost so far.

I like the Jubilee costume, but I prefer her default. I don’t care for Grey Cho. They could’ve at least changed his facial expression or something. Those lips can’t be unseen.

I do like the Kingpin one, but they’re not getting anymore money out of me until they fix all the problems.

I don’t have a huge issue paying for a costume if I like it and use the character a lot (See Iron May), but if I only use the character when boosted or not even then, it would have to be REALLY good.

Or, alternatively, change a nightmare design like Monica Rambeau so I don’t have to see it​:joy:

EDIT: Paying $10 in a bundle or less for just a costume. My joy over a cosmetic has a very low monetary bar

Geez yeah, Monica, she is terrifying - if they are gonna sell us stuff then sell us spoons so we can gouge our eyes out rather than look at that.

IIRC there was a Sentry/Void costume for $10 and it included 6* shards. I admit I got that. I liked the costume.

Depends I guess on what you mean by “cheapest” as the 2000 hp has value to people but there have been $10 shards before.

That said, given the state of 6s and the release cadence, I need to see more availability from play before I spend any money on shards that are tiny fractions of a cover just for the sake of that.

In this case, no thanks. 4pin is useless.
