Marvel Super Hero Squad Online -- Ground Zero

[Charles LePage]

I really miss the Halloween event. I haven't been playing that much this year and now I spend even less time. Just do a few mega collects on my newer heroes and log out. There's never anyone around when I play to even do a mission or card game with. I can't even remember the last time I played a card game.

Ditto on the card games and Halloween. Is this the first time they haven't flipped over to the Halloween zones?

Nah, I don't think they hacked for her. If I remember correctly, she accidentally appeared in the shop the same day she was originally supposed to be released, so I think somebody just forgot to cancel her appearance.

I don't think anyone would risk using her otherwise, since that's a quick account termination. If it was Gaz' SNAFU, then the most they'd do is remove her from the player's account like they did with Agent Venom. And it seems like they haven't been paying enough attention to even do that much.

If you look at the account, squad level 96, and Spider-Gwen level 40, I don't think they put her badges to sell by mistake, only the hero, so the person made a new account, because will probably be banned, I think Spy is right.

The guy admitted to the hack. Gaz should ban that account toothsweet.

Is this the first time they haven't flipped over to the Halloween zones?

Yes. I miss the Frankenstein's Monster masks, cemetery, chasing the spooky cat, and the Sanctum Sanctorum. We still might get it this week...but it's looking bleak.

I miss the pirate hats that were part of last's year achievements. I still have 3, but they never put them on sale. And collecting tacos, that was fun.

Ah, you people are all great big kids at heart! What a super bunch you are, and shame on Gaz for not even being bothered to press a button and make your wishes come true. Hallowe'en and the seasonal SHSO celebrations get my boy Helmer all excited, but he hasn't played the game in a long time, and without the Hallowe'en button getting pressed I can't see him coming back to the game anytime soon. It's madness really - I can understand that SHSO is low priority for Gaz if it's not paying its way, but surely flicking a few switches must be cost effective - it might even prompt a few people to cough up some cash for a subscription.

[Nemesis Enforcer]

I'm totally disappointed with Gaz and how they've treated the game this year. We've gotten some great characters, followed by periods of nothing. Now it appears we are in one of those periods where nothing is happening yet again, though I hope they prove me wrong tomorrow or Friday with an update. It really does feel like the game is about to die with how quiet things are.

[Grand Magical]

With all the talk going on of the game being shut down, I'm tempted to cancel the subscription and ask for a refund since I only have had this month for 8 days so far. :/

1) It's getting tiresome to read "Any news regarding Super Hero Squad Online will be found on the Daily Bugle and Facebook page" over and over again on the Facebook page.

2) One advantage of so few people playing is, the game doesn't lag for me nearly as much.

Ah. I admit I didn't watch the video. I thought I saw somebody with a 3-year medallion hanging around DB with her a while back, and I figured nobody would risk an account that old. But I guess they could have gotten lucky and stumbled into the shop at the right time after the hack. (Although if it was a hack, IDK if I'd call it lucky. Causing suspicion to fall on innocent players.)

I really am. Halloween is my favorite, and I always look forward to themed events on various games I play.

AND INORITE? Seasonal events are a big draw for any game. There are always more players online during them than not. So if Gaz really is having trouble keeping the game afloat, it is just beyond stupid to have decided the best course of action was to completely ignore a holiday users have come to expect. I mean, if they actually had to make the thing from scratch, it would be one thing. But they don't. It's already built, and they just need to switch out the coding. I can't imagine that is very work-intensive. I just can't.

So yeah. Good job on failing to spark new interest in players who have wandered, and massively disappointing those who still play regularly on top of it.

She seems complete to me...only thing I can think of is that her licenses weren't in order...

Game never ever lagged for me

If Gaz was hacked for Spider-Gwen could that be the reason we didn't get updates this month? I mean, they have to fix that security breach and have a small crew left.

Absolutely. Preventing theft of intellectual property (which is what video game content is considered) causes LESS content from being developed and released. That is why I always say that those who "hack" fractals, gold, and now content STEAL from the community, too. These "hackers" might have just stolen our Halloween theme and quite possibly, our game...

Why don't we just ask Trish on facebook? She usually responds... if they want to put more money in their other game at this time, I dont get how flickering a switch would cost anyone money. They should have at least done that

Here is the answer you will get...

The internal reasons behind the inactivity may be above clearance for public disclosure. Upper management may not want to tip off outsiders as to the cause. (This is strictly my personal conjecture.) Whether it was a good or bad decision PR-wise, well…
