Hi all,
We've been incredibly hard at work on next week's Bounty Hunter week, bug fixing, new heroes, team-ups, several big new systems, new loot, performance upgrades and the huge 1-year celebration event coming next month.
That means we've had a bit less time to post stuff, but I wanted to let you know that we're all thinking of you as we churn out the code / designs / words / items.

Introducing One-Shots!

May 16th, 2014
We've released a brand new type of content called One-Shot Stories. One-Shots are not entire chapters in the story, but are rather small snap-shots of the Marvel Heroes Universe that can take place within or outside the game's primary storyline.

What is a One-Shot Story ?

A One-Shot story is a new type of content for the Marvel Heroes game that allows us to tell stories in the Marvel Universe that can take place within and outside our game's main storyline and timeline. One-Shots are not entire chapters in the story, but are rather small snap-shots of the Marvel Heroes Universe. They allow for the inclusion of new super villains, new motion comics, and new types of enemies who otherwise may not be added to the main storyline for some time.
The concept comes from Marvel's "One-Shot" comics, which are typically isolated stories that may or not play a major role in the larger Marvel Universe.
Vibranium Mines

The first One-Shot for Marvel Heroes focuses on Man-Ape and his attempt to overthrow Black Panther as the king of Wakanda. Man-Ape plans to take over one of Wakanda's main Vibranium mines in order to use its resources to defeat the Wakandan people. Since the Vibranuim mines are heavily guarded, Man-Ape has called in help from other villains -- Wizard and Spencer Smythe, in addition to the warriors of the White Gorilla Tribe.
These other villains have agreed to work with Man-Ape in order to receive a cache of Vibranium; the Wizard for his advanced weaponry and Smythe for his new Spider Slayers.
How do I access One-Shots?

Starting at level 20, head over to any waypoint and select the "Terminals" tab.

Two New Costumes Available!

May 13th, 2014
Two new costumes are now available! A future version of everyone's favorite mercenary from the Battle of the Atom comic, and an updated Marvel NOW! outfit for Moon Knight.

May 11
Hey all,
We are finishing up a huge weekend of content work for you guys and are very excited and tired.
I wanted to share a quick screenshot before I playtest some new raid stuff.
This is one of Wolverine.
With his level 52 review he got some new powers, some greatly improved game mechanics, a new resource (in place of Spirit) and the fastest shredding ultimate I've ever seen in a video game.
However, I just can't stop driving this around:

New Heroes

The 2015 short list includes some obvious ones like Ice Man, War Machine, Spider Woman, Ant Man, She Hulk and some big surprises. Obviously a longer list than that.

Mr. Fantastic- 11th Hero from the Advance pack. He is heavily underway and will be released in July. All of his animations and dialogue are complete and some of his powers are finished or close to finished. He will use a lot of stretching powers. He has two very unique-looking movement powers. He also uses a few impressive gadgets that are a notch above anything we've seen so far.

Rogue- 12th Hero from the Advance Pack. Her release will be late 2014 or first one in 2015. Her initial design concept is pretty much solid, with trees related to her Ms. Marvel long-term storyline powers and 2 trees dedicated to the most popular powers she has stolen over the years. She will also have her signature power of stealing 1 power from existing enemies, which will be a TON of work, but worth it.

Magneto- Most likely September 25th.

Nova- They are still awaiting a significant event to occur before finalizing and releasing him. He is fairly close though.

X-23- Still in development on the side. Research into her Trigger Scent also appears in the Omega System, as one of the nodes in the Neural Enhancement division of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Juggernaut- Initial design conception has already started.

95% chance to have Vision as a playable hero.

LGBT characters- Wiccan is definitely planned as an enhanced costume for Scarlet Witch since they can technically share the same powerset. He would also make a very reasonable playable hero on his own, with the design goal of creating a significantly different mechanical play pattern compared to Scarlet Witch. Northstar is an NPC. Speedsters are challenging to make full heroes (at least for accurate travel powers), but Doomsaw could see him as a Team-Up. Mystique will also be a team-up at some point. They just added Ultimate Colossus, if you count that. Flatman is also reference on Squirrel Girl's Great Lakes Avengers t-shirt, as an obscure reference.

Spider-Woman is definitely going to be a playable hero at some point, perhaps at the end of next year.

75% chance Black Cat is a playable hero some day.

75%+ chance Dazzler becomes playable some day.

38% chance for Jamie Madrox aka Multiple Man (not mentioned about whether as playable or a team up but I'm guessing he'll first be a team-up & then maybe playable in the future).

Ant-Man will be Hank Pym in-game.

Quicksilver is still TBD on what exactly we can do with him in the game.

Phil Coulson- About 20% chance he is playable at some point, but he would be in line behind Nick Fury. He could have Maria Hill as his enhanced costume.

Agent Venom will either be a highly enhanced suit for Venom or his own Hero. Doomsaw is 50/50 on what would be more fun.

They will definitely be considering Sunfire as a future Japanese hero.

Doomsaw says there could a chance for playable Thanos maybe 1 year or so down the line.

They would love to do Fantomex as a team-up and he is on the list for the future.

Polaris is someone they want to add as a full hero instead of just as an enhanced costume.

(Arch)Angel- Playable in 2015 is a fairly safe bet, but not 100% yet. They have discussed design options, but haven't settled on the final answer yet.

Kitty Pryde- There is a chance she will also be a fully playable hero, but she is a bit light on abilities, so she is not in the top 10 list for 2015.

Hero Reviews

Deadpool's review is planned for late summer, after the X-Men finish up and they complete Thor, Hulk and Thing. He is getting a single-target ranged spirit spender very soon (mini-gun) since he didn't get shipped with one.

On bad response for Wolverine's review- "Very, very frequently with new heroes and with level 52 reviews people look at the first version on test center and make a snap judgment about power level or fun factor. We release stuff to test center knowing they need tons of iteration, and we are very dedicated to iterating until stuff is exceptional, so I have 100% confidence people will LOVE Wolverine's level 52 review once it's done and complete. This also means we won't stop iterating each week, however long it takes. This will be the same for every hero and level 52 review until the end of time. Keep going until it's great. We are a company that does stuff on a weekly basis, not a yearly basis, so we can be responsive and we are somewhat fearless in that respect."

Similar to Wolverine's spirit being replaced by "Fury" in his review, Rage for Hulk and Odin Force for Thor have been discussed, but nothing is final yet. They won't change stuff away from Spirit unless it's extremely flavorful and they can do something interesting with it. There is a hero in the design pipeline right now who uses a different resource than Spirit.

Q: When can we expect the Aerial Assault animation for Cap to be changed back to the old one? It is obvious from the forums that the players want the old animation back and the new one should be deleted or changed to Athletic Leap. A: We could definitely do this. It was a movie capture animation, but both have their pros and cons. BTW, there was just a change made that goes with the new animation that doesn't lock out shield powers, which is helpful.

New Villains

Mystique is will make her appearance in the game in 2015, but her exact role is still in design stages. There are many options.

Team Ups

Spider-Woman team-up will definitely be this year, probably the second half of the year.

Kitty Pryde will absolutely 100% be a Team-Up at some point.

Phil Coulson will be a Team-Up Hero for sure.

Mystique will be a team-up at some point.

Black Cat for sure as Team Up.

zenith16 · May 23, 2014

more on this

New Zones

Bronx Zoo- Waiting on the final boss to be finished along with some zoo animals. As soon as they are done, it will be added to Chapter 2, I believe. Probably by end of summer.

Endless Dungeons are 30% done and will launch in 90-100 days or so. They are highly replayable group or solo "dungeons" with an element of randomness included. There will be 5 "tilesets" at launch, with more planned on a regular basis.

Player housing in some form has been discussed. Nothing super fancy- perhaps a private training room for your supergroup or yourself is within the realm of possibility, but is not currently on the schedule for this year. Doomsaw would support the idea.

Upcoming One Shot terminals They have plans for several new One Shot terminals each year, with dozens of potential options at their disposal. Some of them are stories that could be described as "side chapters" to the story involving alternate dimensions, some are based on time-travel and some are explorations of new zones. Also expect "What If?" scenarios. Each One Shot will have more challenges than a "terminal" and will have some unexpected story element. They will also have unique rewards for each along with achievements as part of the upcoming achievement system. Example: The Shadowland storyline that had Daredevil as the leader of the Hand ninjas is high on the list.

Expect seeing missions in space or underwater (i.e. Atlantis).

1ST ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION EVENT

Log in during that week for 365 gifts of various sizes and shapes. You will be sad if you don't log in.

Doomsaw mentioned something about "Free beards" (possibly as a new currency drop for the event). No idea if he was serious or kidding.

There is a chance for free Gs, not 100% sure yet.

RAIDS

The Surtur raid boss is the final boss in the final chapter of the Asgard story arc.

He is very special and is so huge that it requires allowing the camera to be pulled back MUCH farther than normal to see the whole battle. You can still zoom in close or zoom out a huge distance, whatever you prefer.

The fight also includes new mechanics, new animations, new VFX. The fight takes about 15 minutes for Surtur and his henchman. The other fights in the raid each take about 10 minutes, assuming you succeed in the first try.

Raid difficulties? Two. Difficult and Difficulter.

OMEGA SYSTEM

Beta testing in less than 2 weeks. It's getting very close now.

It revolves around some highly-experimental and often mysterious divisions within S.H.I.E.L.D. that are researching every possible method of human augmentation to deal with Omega-Level threats.

Omega-Level Threats include everything from Mjolnir, to Omega-Level mutants, to alien invasions of various kinds.

The Omega research divisions within S.H.I.E.L.D. are: Psionics, Nanotechnology (http://imgur.com/WcotTfs), Human Augmentation (includes Super Soldier and Weapon Plus programs), Neural Enhancement, Radioctive Origins, Arcane Attunement, Molecular Adjustment, Special Weapons Division, Temporal Manipulation, Extra-Dimensional Travel, Interstellar Exploration, Xenobiology, Cosmic Entity Research.

Omega points are not tied to level, they are tied to experience gained and new Shared Omega Quests completed (both count), so nothing is retroactive.

It would take normally many months to max Omega but he knows he'll be proven wrong.

Upcoming events & features

Achievements in July.

Secure Trading- Next week, most likely, assuming all UI stuff is worked out.

Shared Quests- In final testing internally and should be ready within 2 weeks. It's a much more robust system than sharing Legendaries are is available for the whole server and will allow heroes to play together, even if they are in slightly different level ranges. Here is a work in progress image: http://imgur.com/Gk79RBA

Doomsaw mentioned about Veteran Rewards and Midtown Madness Mondays.

After the Surtur Raid- Skrull Invasion, Endless Dungeons, Chaos Terminals, more story stuff, Raid #2.

zenith16 · May 23, 2014

and lastly on this AMA

Hero Costumes

Wolverine's Fear itself costume will be out within 1 week, Austin is finalizing the announcement.

The enhanced Mar-Vell costume is in the final approval stretch. From start to finish a new costume takes about 3 months and enhancement ones take much longer, since there is always a new voice actor involved and lots of feedback and iteration and cost (which is why they are 19 bucks).

All of the Fantastic Four are getting their new red costumes and their Future Foundation costumes. Reed also has a couple more in the approval process. He has a lot of interesting ones from some of the crazier storylines.

60% chance for Fear Itself costumes for Iron Man and Hulk/Nul. 100% for Juggernaut, but not likely at release. The parties involved in those decisions strongly prefer to have more traditional and recognizable costumes at initial release, for brand reasons.

Spidey 2099 is most likely going to be an enhanced costume. Not 100% sure yet.

Iron Man's Classic Space suit and/or Hydro armor costumes will be released when the space and underwater missions are introduced.

They definitely are going to set aside a couple days each month to go back to old costumes and make them cool. (This was said when asked about the hair on the older character models.)

Whenever they get a costume that allows high heels, they are all over it.

Q: Any chance we could see a costume rework in the future that makes them work more like hero tokens and you unlock them permanently once you use them, with the current costume core concept being made into the actual gear slot (core has stats, costume does not.) A:Yes, I love this and have it on the list for the team. It's a big task, but doable.

Misc

Someone suggested to start including new avatar pictures with pre-order purchases and new titles for these characters, as they did before. Doomsaw totally agreed with the idea.

When asked about the dodge nerf: "Reducing dodge mitigation from 100% to 50% allowed us to greatly reduce incoming damage which is incredibly healthier for the game and is actually a huge buff for dodge heroes. Very important that you understand the two things are connected."

Q: Are we ever going to see buff bars? For instance Gungnir's tier 5 brutal rating increase for 5 seconds. I'd like to have a bar pop up so I know when it hits so I can burst out my CS skills.A: "Along with, or shortly following the release of raids, we will be expanding the functionality of the buff section in the bottom right of the UI, along with a few other potential improvement to buff visibility in general."

UI scaling (of various flavors) is on the big task list for the UI engineering team. ETA is unclear, but it's not too far off.

On getting the in-game store mirrored to the web store- "I would definitely love to see this. They are completely different technology on completely different platforms and servers, so it's a huge feat to have them talking to each other. I would say, "Maybe", but not soon."

Not too many Japanese players yet to consider Japanese localization.

They probably won't force a button for the Ultimate, but you can slot it wherever you want.

9:38AM
Hi guys,
You may notice that I've been posting in the Mac Closed Beta section this morning, which is sure to confuse people when they expect me to be talking about the live game/PC version. I ask that if you're not participating in the Mac Closed Beta, 1) to double check where I'm posting, it confuses me too! 2) to leave that area of the forums relatively clear so we can focus on any issues there. If you have any questions and you are not part of the Closed Beta, you can PM me!
Note: If I remove one of your posts in the Mac section, it's only because I want to keep that section of the forums as streamlined as humanly possible and not confuse our Mac players with PC questions (until the client is in Open Beta at least!) Please don't be offended.
Just wanted to give everybody a heads up!

May 20
This has info from 2 streams(Mr. B and Ryan), Q&A with Doomsaw(on MMORPG.com) and info obtained from 05/23/14 to today's day of 5/26/14
I've spent time organizing this info so it might be easier for everyone to read. Enjoy. Feel free to leave a comment
SOME OF THE THINGS COMING THIS YEAR
Things coming this year: Omega System, Achievements in July, Trading, Raid #1(on the 1 year), Raid #2, Shared Quests, Veteran Rewards, Midtown Madness Mondays, "PVP going into final and live, especially with the voice announcements." Solid Frank, Mar-vell and Spider Girl.

1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
365 gifts of various sizes for the 1 year celebration!! The first Raid!! There's a lot of surprises coming. Doom WILL NOT be playable at the 1 year anniversary. That doesn't mean there won't be a surprise one. Reed Richards is coming July so that means there won't be a hero for June or, maybe a surprise playable character(Nova maybe?) When asked about Nova this was the response: We are still awaiting a significant event to occur before finalizing and releasing Nova. He is fairly close though.
Doomsaw mentioned an event with Nova..maybe the anniversary of MH or the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie will be where he sticks out his shiny helmet.
Veteran Rewards
Every day you log in, the system will add that to days logged in. After a certain number of days you get something delivered to you automatically. It has nothing to do with money and will never be tied to money. The system will start counting on the one year anniversary, assuming it passes testing.

RAIDS
We are getting 2 Raids this year! There will be 2 difficulties for each.
"The Surtur raid boss is the final boss in the final chapter of the Asgard story arc. He is very special and is so huge that is requires us to allow the camera to be pulled back MUCH farther than normal to see the whole battle. You can still zoom in close or zoom out a huge distance, whatever you prefer. The fight also includes new mechanics, new animations, new VFX. The fight takes about 15 minutes for Surtur and his henchman. The other fights in the raid each take about 10 minutes, assuming you succeed in the first try."

OMEGA SYSTEM
Beta testing for the Omega System will be in 2 weeks. It's getting very close now. It revolves around some highly-experimental and often mysterious divisions within S.H.I.E.L.D. that are researching every possible method of human augmentation to deal with Omega-Level threats.
"Omega points are not tied to level, they are tied to experience gained and new Shared Omega Quests completed (both count), so nothing is retroactive."
Omega-Level Threats include everything from Mjolnir, to Omega-Level mutants, to alien invasions of various kinds. The Omega research divisions within S.H.I.E.L.D. are: Psionics, Nanotechnology, Human Augmentation (includes Super Soldier and Weapon Plus programs), Nueral Enhancement, Radioctive Origins, Arcane Attunement, Molecular Adjustment, Special Weapons Division, Temporal Manipulation, Extra-Dimensional Travel, Interstellar Exploration, Xenobiology and Cosmic Entity Research. The first 8 are known and available to all heroes at launch of the system. The remaining 6 are unlocked through in-game events throughout the year. (Their name hints as to which events unlock them).
One of the 12 Omega Divisions is the Nanotech Division.

HEROES 2014/1015
Playable Heroes for 2014: Mr. Fantastic, Starlord, Juggernaut, Venom, Magneto, Silver Surfer at the 2014 heroes!! Magneto most likely September 25th. Mr. Fantastic is the 11th Hero from the Advance pack. He is heavily underway and will be released in July. Starlord is after Mr. Fantastic. Antman will most likely be Hank Pym.
On 5/27/14 Ryolnir stated this about Reed Richards: He is so amazing already and he's not even half done. Giving Reed's release in July even more weight.
On 5/27 Doomsaw release these pics concerning Reed Richards on to the forums when asked about teasers. From the costumes to the gun these are things to come!! And that big pic with the vehicle below is of the Fantastic Car. There have been different versions of the vehicle, the one below is the Fantastic Car MK II.

Rogue is the 12th Hero from the Advance Pack. Her release will be late 2014 or first one of 2015. Her initial design concept is pretty much solid, with trees related to her Ms. Marvel long-term storyline powers and 2 trees dedicated to the most popular powers she has stolen over the years. She will also have her signature power of stealing 1 power from existing enemies, which will be a TON of work, but worth it. I am very much looking forward to implementing her design and seeing her released.
"Mystique is also someone that will make an appearance in the game in 2015, but her exact role is still in design stages. There are many options. She may also be in the game right now, but you just don't know it yet..." Mystique will be a team up at one point.

Rogue is the 12th Hero from the Advance Pack. Her release will be late 2014 or first one of 2015. She has so many options available to her. One very unique thing he mention is that she will be able to Steal 1 power from enemies!! Considering the 2014 heroes all seem set, it's looking like first hero of 2015.
2015 Playable Heroes: Ice Man, War Machine, Spider Woman, Ant Man and She Hulk. War Machine will be Rhodey as the base hero.
(Arch)Angel in 2015 is a fairly safe bet, but not 100% yet. We have discussed options, but haven't settled on the final answer yet. I will let you know once we have a solid decision.

CHARACTER ANIMATIONS
When can we expect the Aerial Assault animation for Cap to be changed back to the old one?
We could definitely do this. It was a movie capture animation, but both have their pros and cons. BTW, there was just a change made that goes with the new animation that doesn't lock out shield powers, which is helpful.

REWORK
ETA on Deadpool's rework: He is planned for late summer, after the X-Men finish up and we get Thor, Hulk and Thing complete. He is getting a single-target ranged spirit spender very soon (minigun) since he didn't get shipped with one.

HEROES MENTIONED
No Alpha Flight members planned to be playable yet. Maybe some will be team ups for next year.
Only a 38% chance on Jamie Madrox... It's not looking good at all for Multiple Man.
95% Chance Vision will be playable.
75% chance for Dazzler will be playable.
Sunfire will be considered for a playable hero.
Polaris is someone they want to see playable.
The Initial design conception has already started for Juggernaut.
X-23 is still a side project in development.
She-Hulk is definitely going to be a playable hero at some point, perhaps at the end of next year.
Quicksilver is still TBD on what exactly we can do with him in the game.
There's a chance Shadowcat aka Kitty Pryde will be a playable. He mentioned that she is light on abilities so she's not in the top 10 list for 2015. He stated there were many years ahead of us, so she might not be joining us as a playable for awhile if it happens.
We do have Northstar as an NPC somewhere I believe. Speedsters are challenging to make full heroes (at least for accurate travel powers), but I could see him as a Team-Up. We definitely are going to set aside a couple days each month to go back to old costumes and make them cool. Whenever we get a costume that allows high heels, we are all over it.

SPIRIT ON CHARACTERS
When asked about replacing spirit with something else: Both Rage for Hulk and Odin Force for Thor have been discussed, but nothing is final yet. We won't change stuff away from Spirit unless it's extremely flavorful and we can do something interesting with it. There is a hero in the design pipeline right now who uses a different resource than Spirit...

COSTUMES
Wiccan is definitely planned as an enhanced costume for Scarlet Witch since they can technically share the same powerset.
Juggy's Fear Itself costume confirmed! But will not for launch day.
Agent Venom will either be a highly enhanced suit for Venom or his own Hero.
Capt. Marvel Costume likely in June - enhanced.
Wolverine's Fear itself costume released in 1 week.
Spidey 2099 is most likely going to be an enhanced costume.
All of the Fantastic Four are getting their new red costumes and their Future Foundation costumes. Reed also has a couple more in the approval process. He has a lot of interesting ones from some of the crazier storylines.
Gambit's Death costume is next week for pre-purchases!
Classic Iron Man Space suit and/or Hydro armor confirmed.
We have no plans for Phantom Rider as a costume since his powers are so incredibly different from Ghost Rider.
Luke Cage Earth X costume confirmed! Looks pretty kool.

Finally over

TEAM UPS

Beta is coming next!!

This image has been resized to fit in the page. Click to enlarge.

Spider-Woman team-up will definitely be this year, probably the second half of the year.
She-Hulk Team Up in 2014.
Beta Ray Bill is the next team up!!
Black Cat will be a team up! 75% she will be playable one day.
Kitty Pryde will 100% be a Team-Up at some point.
Agent Coulson will be a team up with the voice actor from Agents of Shield. 20% chance he will be playable one day. He may have Agent Hill as a Costume. Nick Fury will come first.
Fantomex is on the list for the future.. possible teamup.
Wiccan would make a very reasonable playable hero on his own, with the design goal of creating a significantly different mechanical play pattern compared to Scarlet Witch.
Phantom Rider is a possible Team Up
Wasp Team Up

ONE SHOTS
"We have plans for several new One Shot terminals each year, with dozens of potential options at our disposal. Some of them are stories that could be descibed as "side chapters" to the story involve alternate dimensions, some of them are based on time travel and some are explorations of new zones. Each of them will have more challenges than a "terminal" and will have some story element that you might not expect. They will also have unique rewards for each along with achievements as part of the upcoming achievement system. Example: We all love the storyline that had Daredevil as the leader of the Hand ninjas, the Shadowland storyline, so that is high on the list."
There will be numerous "What If" One shots.

CHAOS TERMINALS!!
Chaos Terminals have been confirmed!! I'm gonna go with a guess here, but Chaos Terminals are probably bringing Chaos Gear!! Might be the set items that are in the works!

MARVEL'S CIVIL WAR
The devs are talking about a Civil War type of event or zone for the future.

SET ITEMS
Set Items might be coming later this year!! But they are coming!!!! They very well could be apart of the Chaos Terminals.

PLAYER HOUSING
Player housing in some form has been discussed. Nothing super fancy, but perhaps a private training room for your supergroup or yourself is within the realm of possibility, but is not currently on the schedule for this year. I would support the idea.

TRADE SYSTEM
Trading will go live possibly next week.

THE UI
UI scaling (of various flavors) is on the big task list for the UI engineering team. ETA is unclear, but it's not too far off.
Along with, or shortly following the release of raids, we will be expanding the functionality of the buff section in the bottom right of the UI, along with a few other potential improvement to buff visibility in general.

THE BRONX ZOO, A NEW FULL ZONE
Bronx Zone will be a full zone. Bronx Zoo is waiting on the final boss to be finished along with some zoo animals. As soon as they are done, it will be added to Chapter 2, I believe. Probably by end of summer. This area will feature The Lizard.

ENDLESS DUNGEONS
Endless Dungeons are 30% done and are a feature that I will really enjoy when it launches in 90-100 days or so. They are highly replayable group or solo "dungeons" with an element of randomness included. There will be 5 "tilesets" at launch, with more planned on a regular basis. 5 dungeons so far with 5 levels each!

NEW MISSION PLACES
Missions in Space and Underwater confirmed! Atlantis confirmed.

STARKTECH
Starktech coming around late Summer!
DANCE EMOTES
Dance emotes are completed on a majority of characters!

Omega Sentinel will always drop his Medallion for the weekend coming up.(This was incorrect on Ryan's part. This weekends and weeks event pic below!

Just played this for the first time last night. It was pretty cool. I still suck at MMOs, especially figuring out how to group/team with people, but it was nice to get it in with Black Panther. I'll probably get in Cyclops next.

send me a pm of your name in this, I'll try and add you and help you level up I did so with Monsieur Xavier who's a member of the hype here.

Shared Quest Mini Preview

Doomsaw

GazillionLocationSerious BusinessStaff

5:50AM
Hi all,
I just finished typing up the help text for Shared Quests and I thought it would be cool to see it as a mini-FAQ. (We won't have time for full FAQs until Tuesday night when the final anniversary build is done and being cooked).
Here is the copy/paste from our internal code:

Shared Quests are super-sized quests that are automatically shared with all players, allowing them to be seamlessly completed by groups or individuals, regardless of level, group status, difficulty mode or location.

All players receive the same Shared Quests each day. New ones are assigned each day, generally including a Midtown Patrol quest, a quest to defeat threats in Terminals and a quest in X-Defense or S.H.I.E.L.D. Holo-Sim.

Three Shared Quests exist each day. You may complete any of them any number of times. As soon as you complete a Shared Quest, you will immediately begin earning progress towards the next one. Shared Quests may be completed alongside or in place of Legendary Quests, sharing credit at all times.

Rewards for Quests include Odin Marks, credits, experience orbs and random gear of all possible rarities and types, based on the difficulty of the Shared Quest.

The first time you complete each of the Shared Quests, each day, you will receive bonus rewards, including a bonus Omega Orb.

Note that several issues will prevent us from ever being able to share Legendary Quests (since they were built for single people and have several issues with sharing) but these new Quests are built from the ground up for sharing and will allow any size groups or couples to play together for however long they wish, at no cost and no hassle. This will change the game for a few people and just be a nice "free bonus" for others.
