Marvel's Avengers Dev Tracker

Posting this here because our website is having issues:

Designer Alex Kende here again to talk about incoming large-scale changes to Hero Set gear that include adding attributes, status effects, name changes, and overall themes or focuses.

But let’s get the most obvious out of the way: Perks have received a huge naming pass to improve clarity even if the description of the Perk is the same. Many Perks on your current gear will get new names but will remain unchanged in application.

Next is the names of the sets themselves. Each of the three Hero Sets will have their title seen in the description panel of mission chains or on the War Table when viewing a mission’s details. This should help pin down where to get what if you’re looking for a specific piece of gear.

Let’s talk about the three Hero sets, their focus, and where you can get each of them.

Classic Set Focus

The Classic Power set is ...

Hey, everyone!

We know many of you have been eagerly awaiting our next formal roadmap for Marvel’s Avengers. We aren’t yet ready to reveal the next full roadmap, but we can share some news about our next update and how we’re improving and changing the game in the near- and medium-term.

In Marvel’s Avengers, core game systems must evolve with the player base and as we learn more about how players play. A number of the systems built at launch haven’t grown and aren’t sufficiently delivering the most fun Super Hero team experience. We addressed some of this in our last patch with the addition of Shipments, a reworking of the gear upgrading system, a streamlined resource economy, and other changes. More of this type of work (like a refresh of rewards for events like Red Room Takeover and Corrupted Vibranium) is ongoing and is a substantial part of our near-term development plan.

To give some specific examples, let’s take a sneak peek at Patch 2...

When we published the Holiday Content Patch on November 30, there was an issue that caused some players to lose Units and Resources upon logging in. We discovered the cause of this issue and fixed it in the patch on December 1 (a.k.a. Patch 2.2c). This fix made it so that players who had not logged in since the Holiday Content Patch released would not lose Units and Fragments, but did not address those that this issue had already impacted.

We were able to determine that only players who had over 65,535 Units or 65,535 Fragments prior to the Holiday Content Patch were affected, meaning if you had less, you didn’t lose any Units or Fragments. We now have a solution for those players and would like to share it with you here.

We have prepared a grant for those players that will happen upon log-in sometime on December 15 throughout the day - times may vary. We are calculating how many Units each of these players have earned in their entire lifetime of playing Marvel...

We still plan to reimburse the lost Units and Fragments later this week. That is a separate thing from this patch. Should have an update for you guys about what we're doing pretty soon.

Release Timing:

• PlayStation: 12/14
• Xbox: 12/14
• Steam: 12/14
• Stadia: 12/14

MULTIPLAYER AND MATCHMAKING

• In Discordant Sound, the giant Klaw no longer fires his one-shot beam up to three times in a row, sometimes without indicators.
• Stability improvements for the Discordant Sound Raid.
• After completing the Forge or Control Room in Discordant Sound, the correct loading screen cinematic appears for all players when it previously didn’t play for some players.
• When players take the elevator to the Forge in Discordant Sound, they no longer eject or clip through it.

USER INTERFACE

• [PS] Spider-Man's Wrestler and Alumnus Outfits’ preview icons now match the actual outfit.
• [PS] The Marketplace preview image for the Spider-Man Emote 'Aww Shucks' is now the correct one.

Patch Notes for 2.2c is being published today:

• Players on non-PlayStation platforms no longer receive bugged comics that resulted in a crash 
• Players who have not logged in since the 2.2 release will not lose Units/Resources when they first log in. We are still looking into those who were impacted by this issue and will update you once we have more information.

• Those who previously had Intel Outfits have...

Hello! The team is investigating this issue. Thanks for the report!

Hello! Just tweeted this out: Due to an issue that was discovered on the Windows PC build, patch 2.2 will now be published tomorrow on Windows PC. We apologize for the inconvenience, but need to ensure the issue was properly taken care of before publishing.

Got a pretty cool one coming up for Hawkeye. At least, I think it's cool!

This one is my favorite. The coat... *drools*

Can't wait to show them to you!

Hi, I’m Alex Kende, a designer working on gear and resources, including their upcoming reworks on November 30. I’d like to take this moment to explain in detail what changes we will be implementing

Perks Rework

There are several changes to gear we will be introducing in patch 2.2 on November 30.

Several improvements to Hero gear have been made to make those rewards a bit more appealing when compared to normal gear. Whether this is fixing bugs with Perks, or rearranging Perks, we wanted to offer more options to players looking for more variety in builds.

Due to community feedback, we have also added Status effects to gear for Heroes who are currently missing them. All of them. Every single one.

That means Hulk will have Cryo Perks, Ms. Marvel will have Plasma Perks, and Iron Man will have Shock Perks for his weapons. These Perks will be added to either Specialty gear from Vendors, Omega gear (for Hulk), or Hivemind gear.

We have also...

Good eyes! Just wanted to reiterate that all these screens are taken from old builds where our testing environments can do anything and everything, including each person's personal choice for which controllers they want to use. Can't wait to show you guys Spidey next week!

We'll go into specifics in the coming weeks!

There is more to come with Earned Cosmetics, which we'll discuss in the coming weeks. Shipments is just one part of that.
