The experience bar and rank icon should now display correctly under the Influence Missions tab.

The Weekly Influence cap has been reset for all players, and should now reset correctly each week.

The G.L.F. buff has been disabled for this build due to an issue. It may still appear in your buffs panel, but will not give you Influence. In addition, the NPC who gives this buff has also had her overhead icon disabled.

A solution is planned for players who missed out on Reputation during the first two weeks of the system. It’s being tested and will be announced shortly

SAINT PATRICK’S DAY EVENT

A brand new version of the Saint Patrick's Day Event has come to Marvel Heroes 2015!

Lucky Clover Buffs

Lucky XP Buff - 77%!

Pick up Lucky power-ups and you'll enjoy a shining Four-leaf clover above your head and an icon on your buff bar that offers you a chance to defeat a specific boss to receive special gifts!

When you defeat that boss, you'll receive a special St. Patrick’s Day loot bonus that includes high chances at Uniques and other highly sought after loot, as well as fun and festive items! The power-up goes away once you receive the Lucky Holiday loot.

You can receive guaranteed Lucky power-ups from the first completed Shared Quests of the Day.

Additionally, St. Patrick’s day themed credit items will drop everywhere, as well as Legendary Pieces of Rainbow!

Collect three Legendary Pieces of Rainbow and craft a legendary item - the Pot of Gold of Cassidy Keep! This crafting recipe can be found under “Misc.” recipes. We’ll also be giving these pieces of Rainbow as daily gifts through the weekend!

There will be very lucky 77% XP, RIF, and SIF server side boosts for the duration of the event!

ITEM CHANGES

The Hot Dog recipe has been removed from the crafter.

BUG FIXES

Punisher’s Unique “The Dragon” now has the correct icon.

Runeword recipes will once again remove any Hero-specific bindings on the Uru-Forged item being modified, as intended.

Fixed an issue that prevented Magneto's metal cage from trapping the targeted player.

Fixed an issue which caused Punisher’s flamethrower VFX to show black particles.

Moon Knight’s Fist of Khonshu now properly gives Critical Hit Rating and Brutal Strike Rating, as intended.

Rogue's stolen Ice Golem power (from Iceman) now correctly displays the information about stolen powers in the tooltip.

In the Raft, Living Laser now has a smaller leash distance so he will not follow players as far if they retreat from the encounter.

Made additional fixes to hot spots lasting indefinitely.

Gambit's Dead Man's Hand will no longer fire more than 5 cards in one activation.

Doctor Strange's passives once again gain 50% bonus at max Mystic Energy.

Spider-Man's Spider to the Fly, Maximum Spider, and Colossus' Osmium Champion now show the correct amount of Critical and Brutal Rating on tooltip (actual functionality was never affected).

Iceman's Ultimate Age of Icemen, now shows the correct Area duration for his hotpost (8 sec). This was only a tooltip error and power functionality is unchanged.

Winter Soldier's Concealed Combat next rank tooltip now displays the correct amount of defense rating.

Invisible Woman's Quantum Compression now starts with 4 shield stacks as stated in the tooltip (was incorrectly starting with 5).

Living Laser Laser Shield no longer deals massive damage when reflecting missiles with his Laser Shield. The shield will absorbs missiles, not reflect them.
