IMPORTANT NOTE PLEASE READ: This thread contains a variety of info from 2013 to now. It's VERY IMPORTANT to understand that things at Gazillion change from day to day sometimes, so what you see in this thread could of changed the next day. ETA are exactly that, they are only estimates and are not 100%. As of late the devs have slowed down on giving ETAs for various reasons. NOTHING IS FINAL TILL IT'S ON THE LIVE SERVER. I urge you read the post Doomsaw made in the link below explaining things about ETAs on things.

If you want to help, please provide a screen shot, link, or video that the info is from. This is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT as there have been times people have posted incorrect info. I do my best to provide the most accurate info. There's a chance the info could already be in the thread before you post it, so please check the thread. Thanks.

Event Changes and Civil War and Anniversary events: Asros said on 04/07/16: "We are targeting late summer for an Omega Event Update which will also be paired with a Holo-Sim update as the two are closely tied with each other. There isn't any time to do it sooner as we have Civil War and Anniversary events to plan between now and June."
Infinity Gauntlet - "We will do Infinity Gauntlet in the future, it is discussed fairly often."
Terminal Tuesdays - It's been mentioned several times in the past to be coming. February 1st 2016 Ryolnir said "It's something we've talked about but there's no definitive design for it. We're focused on updating existing events and rewards."
☆☆ 2016 ANNOUNCED PLAYABLES AND GENERAL INFO ☆☆
Ryolnir said on 04/11/16 "The next hero won't be until June at the earliest, yes. It's unconfirmed who that is at this time, but we'll announce fairly soon."
On 03/28/16 Ryolnir said "there will not be a hero in April or May as we focus on other elements." He also said "That picture was just placed together to look nice. Everything after the first two were totally random." Referring to the AP3 pic above.
On 03/23/16 a Newsarama article was posted featuring Ryolnir: Angela was the character Collins seemed the most excited about. Talk about keeping up with current comics, right? Growing up reading 90’s comics, I don’t think this is something I ever expected. She’s just awesome. She has the two blades, but she won’t be like Elektra, all stealthy, but more warrior-like. We really haven’t gotten to do anybody in this style just yet.”
On 02/25/16 it was publicly announced that Beast would be in the AP3. His default with be the current one from the comics, shown in the pic.
On 02/22/16 TheDink revealed that she is the one who is working on this character.
On 03/23/16 a Newsarama article was posted featuring Ryolnir: With Beast, Collins said that he’s one of his favorites so far and he’s so versatile with offensive and defensive attacks. “I’m so excited for him! He’s going to be very bombastic as you’d expect I’m sure he’ll go crazy on people, but his designs are on paper right now so we’re figuring what mechanics we can do with him right now, but his designs aren’t as locked down as others.” Collins mentioned that while he was going over the voice recording of the character that Beast’s costumes each have him looking different. “He definitely doesn’t have the Squirrel Girl problem where he has only a few costumes.”
03/07/15 Cat Beast is currently our official Beast, similar to the NPC, yes. In the future, we may update him. I can't speak to the costumes for a playable Beast as there's no official plans for one right now, but I'd guess they'd be Cat Beast + Classic Beast, with NuBeast or All New X-Men as the third alt.
There was a thread asking if playable Nick Fury will be black or white. The white Fury has been Senior and black has been Junior(Google it). Ryolnir said on 03/28/16 "He's not Nick Fury Jr. in our universe, since it's a slight amalgamation of 616/Ultimate/various others, FWIW."
On 03/23/16 a Newsarama article was posted featuring Ryolnir: “With Nick Fury you’re going to see some S.H.I.E.L.D. summoning, some L.M.D. action, some of his crazy gadgets like jetpacks, the needle gun, all the goodness from the classic Steranko days, as well as some newer tech and weaponry. Probably some movie-inspired stuff as well because how could we not?”
He will still be voiced by Keith David.
He has been officially announced as a 2016 playable.
On 03/23/16 a Newsarama article was posted featuring Ryolnir: Ultron was the only AP3 character not mentioned in the article with Newsarama.
He has been officially announced as a 2016 playable.
On 03/23/16 a Newsarama article was posted featuring Ryolnir: When Collins got around to talking about Black Bolt, he mentioned the scale of how powerful he is in the game. “Black Bolt is obviously going to be a fun one to do, what with his power set. Although I will say if you’ve read any of the recent Uncanny Inhumans stuff they actually portray his powers has having visual beams and such.” Collins mentioned he’ll have some really powerful AoEs that will allow players to destroy thugs really quickly, but he doesn’t have a lot of trademark abilities that focus on one person. “He’ll still be good at that, but we try to keep these characters in the same band of powers.”
☆ QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS AND TUNING CHANGES ☆
Tenacity Revamp - On February 1st 2016 I asked Ryolnir about the Tencacity revamp and he responded with "Crowd Control Revamp is important to us still".
On 02/16/16 MichaelMayhem said: Also a quality of life update for this guy" and had an arrow pointing at his avatar of Ghostrider. He then continued on with: "Just dropped that news on Ryolnir a few hours ago. As if this patch wasn't stocked enough as is! And before we get the inevitable questions - there's many different resource requirement levels of hero updates. This one has zero art or engineering requirements, which makes it easy to slide in as an extra for a patch like this. Emma's is dropping a bunch of new powers, including an expensive new Ultimate, which takes longer. This is why it's never as clean as "we're doing all these people in this exact order", because of the resource requirement differences. The other ones we've made public (Nightcrawler & Tasky) will definitely need art and are still planned, and this little update for the Rider doesn't take away from that or move them down in the schedule.
During the MH stream on 01/29/16 Micheal Mayhem and Asros mentioned that Luke Cage, Nightcrawler, Emma Frost and Taskmaster are on a list for quality of life improvements. Please note that these are in no particular order and there is more on the list than those mentioned.
When it comes to Luke Cage they brought up the he was the "Team Up Guy" before Team Ups were an actual thing in MH. There are a lot of questions they need to ask and answer, such as "Does he retain his permanent summons?", "Do we remove Jessica Jones and make her, her own team up?, but then that makes her not unique to Luke Cage." "There's a lot of weird things like this that they have to answer but they stated they will get the community involved to answer these questions concerning Luke.
Emma Frost Design Update Preview
On 04/04/16 Ryolnir said "Emma Frost is going to stay in testing since some internal issues delayed her changes last week, so the earliest her update will be released is next week."

Colossus Quality Of Life
On 02/22/16 Chufmoney is collecting feedback for a QoL for Colossus. "I'm reading feedback at this point and gathering the best/most useful parts of it to add into a QoL update. Unfortunately, I have no exact dates when we'd be putting this out. All I can say is it is planned and we are working on it.
Squirrel Girl Quality Of Life
MichaelMayhem said on 02/27/16 that she does need some updates but don't expect them to happen in the next few months.
On 03/07/16 Asros posted that he is looking to get feedback for a unique review in the near future for her.
A community member asked this: Hey quick question, is there any chance for creating new uniques? I mean how some heroes have 2 sets of uniques for certain slots. And Asros replied: If it is needed, sure. I don't think I would go as far as creating a whole 2nd set of uniques, but 1 or 2 new ones are possible if there is a need for them.
