  Marvel Heroes 2016 3-Year Anniversary

  Marvel Heroes’ 3-year anniversary event officially begins today! For the entire month of June, we’ll be celebrating the anniversary with a wide variety of events and activities!

  Birthday Cake

  It wouldn’t be a party without cake! These 3-year anniversary cake slices drop anywhere in the game. Collect them and turn them in at the Anniversary Event Vendor in Avenger’s Tower for a wide variety of rewards! Aside from regular drops, cake slices can be earned in a variety of ways:

  • Daily Login - Get 50 slices just for logging in each day!
  • 5 Power Up Loot Explosion - Collect 5 Birthday Power Ups anywhere in the game for an Anniversary loot explosion, including cake slices!

  Anniversary Event Vendor Rewards

  Rather than restrict our freebies to logging in on a specific day this time around, we wanted to put them on a vendor to allow players not only the flexibility to play and get the items that they want, but also to bring back some old Anniversary gifts for players who may not have been around then, or in some cases - want another one! Some of the items on the vendor are limited to a single purchase(meaning you can only purchase each of these items once). These items include:

  • Iron Man Mark II Team-Up
  • Classic Captain America Team-Up
  • S.T.A.S.H. General 39
  • Free Hero Ticket

  The rest of the items can be purchased as many times as you like, if you have the cake!

  Event Bonuses

  For the first week of the anniversary event, all of the following additional event activities and bonuses will be active!

  • Midtown Madness
  • Mystic Mayhem
  • Cosmic Leveling Boost
  • 163% Serverside XP Bonus

  For more details on the 3-Year Anniversary event going on this month, check out the following thread on the official forums:

  New Terminal: Skrull Invasion

  The Super-Skrull Kl’rt and his invading Skrull forces have taken over Hightown and must be stopped!

  This new terminal drops you outside the Sovereign Hotel, where the Skrull forces have taken hold while General Kl’rt leads from above in the protection of his mothership.

  Defeat the War Skrull leaders and break through the Skrull lines to gain access to the mothership and face Kl’rt head-on!

  This terminal can be accessed from any Waypoint in the Challenges tab.

  Minor Changes & Bug Fixes

  The UI Size option should once again correctly function for players using 1366 x 768 or lower video resolutions.

  PS4 controllers are now supported, including appropriate button icons in the UI while the controller is in use.

  Captain America (Civil War) Team-Up should now have voice over.

  Known Issues

  The following issues are known and planned to be addressed in a future update:

  • The UI icon that appears when near an interactable object while using a gamepad will not update correctly when switching between PS4 and 360 controllers in the same session. The icon will display whichever controller was first activated after launching the client.

  • When hovering over an item tooltip when using a gamepad, the button icons will momentarily display incorrectly sized before adjusting to the proper UI scale.

  • The icons for Kl’rt’s Solo Run and Cosmic Bounty Hunter achievements are not correctly displaying in the Achievements panel.

  • The Special Event Terminal is not accepting 2-Year Anniversary Cake Slices for conversion into 3-Year Anniversary Cake Slices. This will be corrected in the next update - hold on to your previous cake slices until then!

  Last week. Log in any time this week to get a Lucky the Pizza dog pet.
  
  
  
  

  The final week of our 3-Year Anniversary Event has arrived, and alongside all the cake slices and event activities this week we have one last gift for you to unwrap!

  Lucky, Hawkeye’s pizza dog pal will be granted to players who log in during the last week of the anniversary event to thank everyone for playing! For those who may be interested in bringing multiple versions of Lucky with you on your adventures, he is also available for 100 cake slices on the special events vendor as a repeat purchase.

  As with the previous weeks of our 3-Year Anniversary this month, we also have the following event bonuses that will be active for the entire week:

  • A.R.M.O.R. Incursion

  • Cosmic Chaos

  • Operation Omega
  • 200% Server-side XP bonus
  • Odin's Bounty - Active everywhere all week!

  Danger Room Tournament - Simulation #77

  A new Danger Room Tournament will also begin this week starting Friday, June 24th at 12:00 Pacific - Simulation #77!

  The Danger Room was designed to prepare the X-Men against a variety of possible scenarios that they might have to face. This simulation’s objective is straightforward, but hardly simple - should Cable ever become the enemy, you must find a way to be able to stop him. As you can tell by the number… this has proven to be no small task.

  This Danger Room Tournament Scenario is a solo, one-on-one encounter against a hostile simulation of Cable using the fullest extent of his psionic powers and advanced armory!

  Both Epic and Cosmic versions of the Tournament Scenario will be available, with separate Leaderboards for each. At the end of the week, rewards will be granted to those that participated and have recorded at least one completion time on the Leaderboards, with better rewards for those that reach the top 50%, top 10%, and number 1 spots!

  Times Square Terminal

  With this update comes a brand new Terminal experience based on the updated Times Square introductory section.

  Times Square is under attack by Ultron and his army of drones, and his goal is nothing short of total destruction of humanity. Fight through hordes of drones and his elite Iron Legionnaires to reach the final battle with Ultron himself!

  The Times Square Terminal can be accessed from any Waypoint in the Terminals tab.

  Travel Powers Update

  With this update we are overhauling the travel power system so that all heroes have one dedicated travel power that comes at no cost during power progression. Here’s how it works:

  • All heroes will gain access to their dedicated travel power at level 10

  • Dedicated travel powers will automatically have 1 point placed into them at level 10 and cannot be increased beyond rank 1

  • Dedicated travel powers will consume no resource, even if those powers have secondary effects while being used
  • A dedicated hotkey can now be assigned to “Travel Power” in the Options menu under the Keybinds tab, which will allow you to use your hero’s dedicated travel power even if it is not assigned to the hotbar
  • Any existing points you have in your travel power will be moved to your hero's dash or roll power
  • If those points would take you over the cap in your existing dash or roll power, any remaining points will be refunded

  Since all dedicated travel powers now unlock at level 10, some heroes’ power progression had to be altered to allow this:

  • Colossus - Steel Cyclone now unlocks at level 42 (was 10)

  • Deadpool - Superior Healing Factor now unlocks at level 8 (was 10)

  • Iron Man - Jet-Thrust Punch now unlocks at level 12 (was 10)
  • Moon Knight - Crescent Snare now unlocks at level 14 (was 10)
  • Nova - Cascading Bolt now unlocks at level 12 (was 10)

  Nightcrawler’s power progression had to be more extensively adjusted as part of this update:

  • Flash and Grab now unlocks at level 8 (was 10)

  • X-Slash now unlocks at level 22 (was 10)

  • Master Swordsman now unlocks at level 16 (was 18)
  • One Step Ahead now unlocks at level 12 (was 10)
  • Advancing Guard now unlocks at level 28 (was 22)
  • Flying Sabre now unlocks at level 3 (was 28)

  Travel powers that had secondary effects in some cases have been adjusted for the new system now that they are free powers.

  • Colossus - Siberian Express damage scales with points in Osmium Champion

  • Ghost Rider - Ride damage scales with ranks in Spirit of Vengeance

  • Green Goblin - Glide bomb damage scales with ranks in Strength Over Sanity
  • Vision - Heavy Sprint damage scales with ranks in Density Shift
  • Juggernaut - Stride’s Momentum generation scales with ranks in Can’t Be Stopped
  • Nova - Traverse the Cosmos now generates a flat 12.5% Shield strength (equal to Rank 16)
  • Doctor Doom - From Here to Latveria no longer regenerates Power
  • Kitty Pryde - Air Walking no longer regenerates Spirit
  • Punisher - Sprint no longer provides Dodge Rating while channeled

  Minor Changes & Bug Fixes

  Power Up buffs that previously displayed over the player avatar’s head now only display when they are picked up for several seconds to fix issues where some buffs overlapped with others. Players can always view any active Power Up buffs in their buff panel in the lower right corner.

  Known Issues

  Squirrel Girl’s Sprint power is not using the correct animation. This will be corrected in the next update.
