Greetings!

I am TheArtofRawr, Lead Systems Designer for Marvel Heroes 2016, and in case you haven’t heard, we are working on the biggest systems update in the history of the game! Last week, we shared a glimpse of what we have in store for you, focusing on Hero Power Updates, and in particular, Power Points, Talents, and Traits. As we mentioned, we will be updating four core game systems over the course of multiple game updates:

• Hero Power Updates

• Item Updates

• Omega System Updates
• Personal Difficulty Slider

Last week, we discussed the changes to Hero Powers. Today we will be discussing Items, and more specifically, Bonus Power Ranks and what to expect from Item drops in the future.

Bonus Power Ranks

As we mentioned last week, Powers will now have the benefits of maximum Power Points allotment incorporated directly into their stats at all times, scaling with your level. So now that power scales as you level, bonus power ranks become obsolete, and Items will no longer need to grant power point bonuses. This expands the design space tremendously, but what does this mean for existing Items?

When this update launches, all current Items that grant Power Points will be adjusted in some way. The affixes that granted Power Points (e.g., “+1 Power Rank to Shield Throw,” “+1 Rank to Furious Lunge,” etc.) will be removed, and we’ll be performing a balance pass on Unique items to ensure their continued viability. One of the main ways we will be adjusting Items is through the addition of more Attributes such as, Strength, Energy, Fighting, etc. With the new Traits system, these will become far more desirable for all Heroes. This also means that Items in the first five slots (hereafter “slots one through five”) of common through cosmic rarities will be losing Power Point bonuses and Power Point grants in favor of Attributes and other bonuses that will be more advantageous. Here are some examples of Uniques in their current state in the game now compared to their new versions after the system update:

Furthermore, all Items and recipes that grant Power Points are being reviewed and updated. This also includes the cosmic tier of Cybernetics, which will get some fun new powers. Keep an eye out for the full list of changes down the road.

The Future of Items

Currently, Item rarity for slots one through five Items progresses from Uncommon to Rare, Rare to Epic, Epic to Cosmic, and Cosmic to Unique. Uniques have acted as a ceiling that’s limited us from expanding to new rarity tiers in the Item system. So we are replacing their spot in the item hierarchy with something far more expandable and powerful. As a result, Unique slots one through five Items will no longer drop in game. But don’t worry–any and all Unique Items you have earned will still work as before.

Starting with this update, instead of Unique drops, you’re going to get something much, much better...

Introducing: Omega Rarity

So if Uniques are no longer dropping, what loot will players hunt for? We are introducing a new Rarity Tier: Omega Rarity. As mentioned, these will replace Uniques in the rarity pool for slots one through five Items. They will only drop at level 60 and will be tightly integrated into our new Difficulty Slider system that we will discuss in an upcoming dev blog.

Omega Items are broken down into two distinct components. The first is a series of randomly rolled affixes from a shared pool. These are similar to the random affixes that can roll on uncommon through cosmic Items, but retuned and with new affixes added. The randomly rolled affix pool will be “filtered” for each hero. This means that you won't ever find things like summon ally damage on an Item for Blade.

The second component of an Omega Item is the Omega Power. The goal for Omega Powers is to enable players to modify their powers in ways that can palpably impact your build choices. Make no mistake about it–Omega Items will be build-defining mechanics rather than static buffs to Powers. While we don’t have any screenshots of the Items under development, we want to share a few mockup examples of the new Omega Items. (Note: these mockups are not final and may possibly change before going live).

The goal of these is to make some simple and fun options for players that will impact what powers you select. This Black Cat Omega Power is just that. This item adds a Caltrops power to Black Cat’s Quick Getaway much like the one Deadpool has.

This is one of the first Omega Powers that we designed. It is an elegantly simple, yet highly effective power. Notice how it makes Shield Bounce much more powerful and compelling to use.

For ages, Rocket Raccoon players have wanted Photon Minigun to pierce targets (damage projectile will continue through enemies and strike enemies behind them). In this update, it becomes an Omega Power.

Mjolnir is one of the most iconic and powerful Items in the Marvel Universe, and it will have an Omega Power tantamount to its status.

War Machine currently gains different ammunition bonuses depending on different abilities he uses. Before this update, this mechanic was limited to ranged builds, but with Omega Items, it will become available to melee players too.

We hope you enjoyed this sneak peek into Omega Items. There’s a lot more in the works where these came from! Lastly, there is one more order of business we need to discuss regarding the impact of the new Omega Item update: Any-Hero Uniques.

Rare Boss Items

If we are building our Omega Items to impact hero powers in a specific way, what does this mean for Any-Hero Uniques? Having Any-Hero Uniques compete with Hero Uniques has been problematic for a long time. First, it’s expected that Captain America should use Captain America’s shield, for example, and that Iron Man should use Iron Man’s armor. While the idea behind Any-Hero Uniques is mechanically innocuous, it is thematically inconsistent with the Heroes and the Marvel Universe. We still want bosses to have rare Items that you hunt for that are very powerful, but we are moving away from those going into slots one through five. Instead, they’ll be in different Item slots including Artifacts, Medallions, Rings, Insignias and others.

As you can infer, the Items Update extends to many areas. Some of the more nuanced subtopics involving Loot Tables, Medkits, crafting changes, and so on will be unpacked in future dev blogs.

Onward!

This is the second in a series of dev blogs aimed at sharing some of the exciting changes coming in the biggest systems update in the history of the game! As we mentioned previously, we plan to open up a Test Center build in October. In the meantime, keep an eye out for the next dev blog in which we will be unveiling the Omega System Updates.

Or should we say the Infinity System?...

-Rawr

I'm all for not being able to look at the post before you, for sure. But I think it's time.

Me personally, i'd love something really awsome, to be honest. all these events are pretty much the same. just give you different stuff to do in the world we already explored countles times.

Now, for example what i would prefer. would be if they made a One shot story with Luke Cage launch on NETFLIX. instead of an event. it's my personal opinion. no idea how others think about this. but it also gives you much more to do in future.

but to the point, i will only do top 10 just because i want to see some other amazing ideas people have!

What kind of one shots/story chapters would i like to see?

Apocalypse - I am still suprised we haven't seen anything about him. ( Please don't tell me the things about MCU and FOX issue, cause lately Marvel CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS had a very long 3 months event about X-MEN, it was all about them. )
So i do not see any issue right here. since MH and MCOC had the rights before the whole drama, yet i do not think one shot would be enough. give us a chapter that is made out of 5-7 acts

Civil War - This time, i'd prefer it as a full story chapter. maybe made out of 6 acts, or two whole chapters since the story plot can be big? dunno. just make it a bit like MUA2 although a bit more enjoyable.

Age Of Ultron - I think it was an missed opportunity when they first intorduced they're gonna do something with it. although it doesn't mean they still cannot add it to the game, right? i mean imagine an amazing chapter made out of 6-8 acts that are all about Ultron's invasion. would be freaking cool!

Shadow King - Honestly one of the best yet underrated villains in the whole x-men franchise, i think this one deserves an extreme chance to be seen in-game as a boss. it would be astonoshing to actually fight against Shadow King. let's say someone is kidnapped in astral plane, like Magik in XML, and you have to rescue her ending in a colloseum again in XML where you fought against some of the x-gladiators. then the final battle. it would be freaking-tastic! and i'd prefer this as a whole chapter or even two. i think it has too much potential to end up being a one shot.

Collector/Mojo/arcade - One of these three, unless they can do something original with all three, collects heroes/villains for their enjoyment and own idiotic purposes. would be neat, although i see it more as a one shot.

Sentiles - Mastermold - Megasentiles - Something aka mutant hunt. would be amazing. i always loved that aspect of X-MEN, but it shouldn't be only them. they should add trask, some purryfiers. etc. i think one chapter made of 4 acts would be great

Hydra invasion - I am not gonna go into any details. but i am pretty sure gaz can do a lot of amazing stuff. there's so much that can be done with just the title itself lol. depends on gaz their vision. it can be either one shot or chapter. it's their call

Galactus - This one has not yet made it in the game, HOW?! LOL. i mean he needs to have his own WHOLE CHAPTER! and better 8 acts in it! this one has a lot of potential! Skrulls, etc etc

Shi'ar - A lot of potential can be explored in this one as well. either one shot or story chapter, again, depends on the vision from our beloved devs. the story can either center around m'kraan crystal, Phoenix. etc etc

Thanos - Same as galactus.... i mean. he is one of the most powerful villains in MCU. how is he not yet in-game?! i want to be able to fight him with my Jean! his story can be so big and huge and can be so much explored that i'd say give him a story chapters made of 6 acts. unless you're gonna make one shots with acts as well ;p

**For me, that's it for now ;) what are you ideas for future one shots and story modes?! **
Ps. Please stop posting negative things. this thread is pure for fun and sharing ideas all together. not to bash on each other. simply avoid the thread if you do not like anything besides grinding items

I'm all for creativity, for sure. But I think it's time.

Or have I finally been banned for sassing the devs?

In the last picture, you can see it throws out little demon creatures instead of sonic toads, he is also enhanced with new dialogue and a new VA.

Vote Loki, if elected he promises to raise drop rates! (of white teamup gear and blue insignias)

Which of these are your favourites, and are there any other costumes or looks for Satana that you'd like to see added if she becomes playable in future?

Please note that, as with all these costume threads, this is not meant to be a complete list of all of Satana's costumes and outfits. I will endeavour to update when possible, but please do not be offended if a particular look that was suggested in thread is not added to the list.

Avengers Alliance

It's not one of 11 companies that SAG-AFTRA is directly targeting but does Gaz expect any future heroes, updates, whatever to be impacted by the strike?

So with this being among the last Omega events before it disappears with the Infinity system, I believe its time for some questions about whats going to happen to its rewards so we can make informed decisions.

@Asros
What will happen to the Omega files we all are building up?

and one for anyone who knows

Can you purchase more than one Agent Coulson and turn him in for ult upgrades?

I loked in the Game and this Item was gone ???

"Can you please do Ronan next. That would be amazeballs. Thanks." said @alunguy
This wasn't a thing to question and it turned out to be an amezballs character. Torn up between loyalty to the Kree and loyalty to the Kree law. Fighting for the Supremor, against the Supremor and then becoming Supremor. Fighting with a hammer that puts Thor's Hammer to shame. It's called universal waypon and it can do a lot of things in hand of Ronan The Accuser. His armor also gives him an ebility or two. In the "powers and skills" is a link to the list of his feats and that was one great read! I hope this will be to. Blue Skined Kree Judge Dredd – Ronan The Accuser:

Ronan The Accuser

Introduction

Early Life
Ronan is a member of the Kree empire aristocracy, a small group of Kree who can trace their ancestry back to the original Kree tribes on their home planet Hala. After Ronan completes his formal education, he is enrolled in the Kree Public Accuser Corps. Ronan responds well to his training, and is constantly promoted. Finally, in an incident on the Kree border , he stops a fleet of Skrull ships from entering the Kree's airspace. For this, he is made Supreme Accuser of the Kree Empire, responsible for enforcing the laws and decrees of the Supreme Intelligence.

First Contact
Ronan's duties have caused him to encounter many of Earth's heroes. Ronan's first Earth encounter on Earth is with Fantastic Four. When the Fantastic Four take a vacation on the island of T-Vu in the South Pacific, they are attacked by Kree Sentry 459, who was left on the island many thousand years ago. The last instructions of the Sentry was to keep any intruders off the island. When the Fantastic Four destroy the Sentry, the Supreme Intelligence sends them a dream during which they are instructed to await their trial and execution by Ronan. Ronan makes an attack against the Fantastic Four, but he is ultimately defeated.

In the future paths or Kree and Inhumans were tangled. First Ronan imprisoned them and made Black Bolt second in command but when chalanged by him for freedom of Inhumans Ronan lost. Even further in the future Inhumans became benefactors of Kree in the event War of Kings where they waged war against Skrulls. Ronan even married Crystal of the Inhumans. At that time he was Supremor, the highest in the Kree hierarchy making her second to rule over them. Now they are separated.

Rest can be found at Comic Vine

Powers and Skills

Kree Accuser
Being of the Kree and in good shape, Ronan has strength, stamina, and speed beyond that of the normal human as well as a faster healing factor. As a public accuser Ronan also has a tactical mind, superior combat skills, increased intelligence, and the ability to adapt to different environments. Ronan can lift or press around 10 tons.

Accuser Armor
Ronan usually wears a suit of cybernetic armor that enhances all of his natural abilities as well as protecting him. Increased strenght allows him to lift or press around 80 tons. His armor contains scanners, a cloaking device, can generate electric charges, and allows the user to freeze targets. It also allows Ronan to fire powerful blasts from his eyes.

Universal Weapon
Being the Kree Supreme Public Accuser Ronan wields a Universal Weapon. The one that Ronan wields is the most powerful. This weapon allows it's wielder to fire blasts of energy, create force fields, and fly. This weapon also allows Ronan to harness cosmic energy for a variety of effects including matter and energy manipulation.

[From me] - By variety of effects they mean a ridiculous amount of different amazing effects. To see what he can do and look at his greatest feats I recomend Ronan Respect Thread Quotes and powers I wrote down come in big part from there.

Power Trees

• Ronan The Accuser
  As Ronan himself says. Accusers don't need weapons they are weapons. It's hard to divide this abilities in two groups that wouldn't be random so I made only one tree. This tree contains powers granted by his armor like flight, eye beams, criogenic enprisonment and strenght needed for powerful blows with his hammer. Most powers however come from that hammer: the Universal Weapon he wields. It can do multitude of things starting with simple shooting out beams or creating waves of energy ending on creating fields where time goes faster to age his enemies or ability to nulify someones personal relation with gravity.

Ronan doesn't have spirit but Cosmic Energy. This fast regenerating resource is used in large quantities by his powers similar to Surfers Power Cosmic. Cosmic Energy regenerates despite power use. Amount of Cosmic Energy can be increased as well as it's regeneration speed [this amount is recalculated from the regular speed noted on items].
There are powers that don't require Cosmic Energy or can be used without it but when there is Cosmic Energy they have additional effect. Powers that don't use Cosmic Energy are tagged with "0" and those that don't require Cosmic Energy but can be augmented with Cosmic Energy are tagged "0+". Those aren't basic powers because Ronan doesn't have basic powers.

Ronan also doesn't have one signature power but he have many powers that are powerful so those powers are boosted accordingly to recompensate for lack of the signature. One of those powers would be: "Unleashed Blast".

Ronan's hammer handle changes size from one handed to two handed depending on the last ability used. It also can desintegrate and be recreated in the air with ease.

The defense. Rests Melee 0+

• If you have Cosmic Energy you protect yourself with your glowing hammer blocking dmg and giving you +X defense against enemies that you blocked. After that without Cosmic Energy use you hit with your other hand enemy droping him to the ground.

Energy from your hammer surounds you with a blue aura then you jump high in the air with your Universal Weapon over your head. Then you land on guilty enemies hiting them with enourmous power.
