Marvel: Avengers Alliance 2 Launch Impressions - Michael Bitton at MMORPG.com
Late last year we spotlighted Marvel: Avengers Alliance 2, the sequel to Disney’s social/mobile game, Marvel: Avengers Alliance. The game was in limited release at the time, but we couldn’t wait to jump in and check it out. Fast forward a couple months later and the game is now available worldwide. How does it stack up? Read on to find out!

Hopefully the next update is laser focused on dealing with the bugs. I do think the crash issues absolutely need to be priority one here. Nothing pisses me off more than losing energy (or PvP ranks) due to a crash!
....I think if I'm going to play more turn-based browser-ish games, I'll just stick to the ones where if you crash/DC/close during a battle and come back later (be it 5 seconds or 5 hours), you just continue where you left off. These apps always DC and crash more than I'd like.
I do agree with you about the store. I want to spend some money and get some heros. But the fact that the "hero" boxes also drop abilities pisses me off. It doesn't encourage me to spend at all. I've only spent $10 on the special offer of getting spider-man. I would be willing to spend a bit more for boxes that only gave heros. You hit the nail on the head with that. But I imagine we won't see that anytime soon.
I would also love to see some Xmen like the previous game had. Is it because Xmen are Sonys property and that's why we haven't seen any yet? Or are they yet to come? I'm sure you don't have that answer, but I wonder if the developer will shed some light on that eventually.

Enjoy and know the truth always comes to light!
BTW. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. It is very appreciated
If you enjoy turn based rpg games, you will love this game. The game gives you a decent roster for free off the bat. And you can earn cash shop currency in game from leveling and achievements/dailies. The best selling point is that it's free 2 play so you only lose time/data if you happen to dislike it. If anyone wants to add me in game. Shoot me a PM.
Marvel's pulled back from anything mutant/FF-related with regards to their non-comics licenses over the past couple of years. The original AA was out before their apparent moratorium, which is why it's flush with X-Men/FF characters. AA has only had a few mutant additions in the past two years.
Marvel seems to really dislike them, to the point where they were extremely angry with Gazillion when they had a Fantastic Four-related event last year or so in Marvel Heroes.
It comes off as completely childish and is basically cutting off one's nose to spite one's face, but it is what it is.
If you ever consider trying the game again. Know that you have 2 very solid heroes waiting in your roster.
Makes total sense I suppose. Your logic is sound. Thanks for taking the time to enlighten me. That sucks to hear. I hope they realize how much money they are losing on not only not including some of the most popular Marvel assets (Xmen). But also the point MikeB made in this article about the cash shop.
This is a great article that rounds up a bunch of the behind the scenes pettiness that has been going on over the last couple of years. I'm sure there's more, but it should give you a good idea of how ridiculous things are.
I agree with you. If they don't care about the fans. They should at least realize how much $ they are losing. That seems to motivate most.
Overall I am still playing and enjoying my time there..
Restarting, I pulled Vision, Gamora, Hank Pym, and just unlocked 3* Iron Man. MUCH better start to the game and I've now completed the first (Sinister 6) chapter.
In PvP, Visions 3* IMMA-GUNNA-MESS-YOU-UP beam is fantastic.
I'm sorry, would it have helped your sensibilities if I said "get"?
Tip for Vision: bring in 3 star Phantom Strike, Osmium Punch, and Solar Jewel. Use Phantom Strike to give yourself Sharpshooting, then hit Solar Jewel to spend all your energy, and follow up with Osmium Punch for maximum damage.
My general team up is Hank Pym, Moonknight and spiderman or Thor. My reserve is usually Drax, Spider-woman and She-hulk. Still need to get a stealth character. I could of gotten black widow for my free 7 day avenger. But I couldn't resist getting Thor lol.
You've got a decent roster otherwise. I definitely would've gone for BW over Thor, but he can do some work. Grab Gamora's 3 star and you can chain resets with her.
