Marvel Heroes Gameplay Review - Open Beta

Today I jumped into the open beta for Marvel Heroes with some high expectations because I really like the idea behind the game. The potential for fun is relatively high. What I experienced was a bit less exciting. The heroes repeat the same few lines and the same attacks over and over and over. The lag was enormous, and not just by normal standards. I've played games with lag and haven't minded before, but this was repeated 5-10 minute lag streaks which makes the game unplayable. I was hoping to get to try out a few characters but since they only give you 2k of in-game money I was only able to get one character....deadpool. That's it. Having to buy each character is going to hurt this game in the long run. The only way to make your character look any different from the 10 other deadpools out there is to buy ( with real money) a costume. The skill tree was lacking imho. The questing equated to running aimlessly for an hour trying to find the one door to let you into the quest zone. I really hope some of this changes by launch but I highly doubt it. At least it is technically a free to play game...if you don't mind the standard characters to play. Not to mention that it recorded my gameplay in half size.....
