  • Originally known as the November 16th, 2008 update.
  • A fix for Magma's powerstyle so that her slide move uses EP and a new entities trail effect

  • A talent and powerstyle fix for X-Man, now "Plasma Shield" has a time limit and his talents is more organized
  • A talent fix for Polaris to fix an icon issue
  • Team Bonus update to include Jean Grey in the Family Affair bonus and to change Raven Knights (Raven Knights is now: Jubilee, Magma, Iceman and X-Man, sort of a young people bonus)
  • Danger Room courses fix and update.  Now the mission to protect Forge, actually spawns Forge instead of Havok.  Also adds new Challenges for Angel, Cable, Havok, Polaris and X-Man. Which means that all the playable characters, except for Dark Phoenix, have a Danger Room challenge.

Known Issues:

• PSP Character Effects - For some reason when using Cable, X-Man and/or Dark Phoenix together, they cause other characters or even themselves to loose some of their effects, the powers still do damage but the effects are gone.  Why this happens? i don't know, i haven't found a reason or a fix, so just use them separately.
• Losing second skeleton or powerstyle - I only had this problem in one area (the level were you go and fight Sinister's Dark X-Men).  While using Beast and Jubilee (who both have new fightstyles) in that area, it caused the fourth person to not be able to access their powerstyle, they were stuck with only their fightstyle.  That is the only place were i ran into that problem, so when you get there don't use Beast and Jubilee together. (this is a memory issue with the game, nothing really having to do with the two characters, so feel free to use them together in other areas, i had no problems playing the game with both of them together).
• Crashing - I did have one crash while using this edition, after fighting Garokk and going back to the base, how i stopped this is by just using the original characters that came with the game to fight Garokk and go back to the base. I've gotten this error before when using mods in that fight with Garokk, so i don't know if its just an issue with my game or if its just an issue in general with that area. That was the only crash i got.

VERY cool.  I'll probably switch out Dark Phoenix for Cannonball, but awesome nonetheless.

[jonchang]

Wow, amazing!

Sorry to bug you once more, but who is coming up next on the list after this?

[мaгvel wатcheг]

totally cool

[zmikey08z]

Is this for the PS2? 'Cause for christmas, im getting some stuff so i can actualy download some mods.

[Teancum]

Nope.  PC only, Sorry

[nodoubt_jr]

thanks guys for the nice comments , hope you guys enjoy it

[jonchang]

I really like your little intro.

[Bandobras Took]

Astonishing work.  Just a couple of comments:

Perhaps the Raven Knights team is better suited to those who don't show up elsewhere.  All of the people on that roster show up in at least two other teams; perhaps some of the characters who have only fit into one team (Jubilee, Magma) would be better choices?

On a related note, surely Jean Grey should also be in Family Affair?

Very, very impressed with this, though.  Can't wait to play more with it.

[nodoubt_jr]

thanks for the feedback and the nice comments . 

I wanted an all psychic team bonus so i chose to use Raven Knights for that since the name is not too descriptive and could fit it. I didn't include Jean to the Family Affair team bonus since i thought it would be cooler to just have it be activated by all the Summers men (Cable, Cyclops, Havok and X-Man).  But i see your point, in any future update I'll add Jean to the bonus, and see how i can change Raven Knights.

[captain_anonymity]

Hey there, new member, and this is probably a stupid question with a simple reply... But is anyone else experiencing problems with the download link? For the life of me I can't get it to load.

[nodoubt_jr]

mediafire seems to be down at the moment, keep checking im sure it will be working eventually. if its still down by tommorow i'll reupload to another site.

I have to say this mod totally rocks. It made me actually go up into the attic, dig out my install disks and go through the hell of installing the game on a windows x64 Vista system. Fun times. Been playing with Havok, Polaris, Magma, and Psylocke and absolutely love it!!! If I can figure it out i'm going to try to get Sage, Marvel Girl, and Cannonball into it too. Just cant figure out who to drop. Anyways, the point is this mod is absolutely awesome and stuff!!!!

[Jack of All Trades]

After finding out that I cannot use mods for multiple playthoughs, you just gave me another reason to jump into the PC version of this game.

Thank you.

What about the section of the Brotherhood base that won't open without a brotherhood member? Is it still locked?
