Happy Thursday Marvel fans, and welcome to our Marvel’s Avengers WAR TABLE Weekly Blog, where we'll give you the scoop on news, patch notes, Marketplace updates, and more!



Team up with the global player base to meet mega-goals and unlock rewards. This week you’ve got to take out 7,500,000 Adaptoids to earn a new Hulk nameplate.


Priority Missions have modifiers that will challenge even the toughest Super Hero. Your first weekly completion of these missions earns you unique gear you won’t find anywhere else.


Minimum Power Level 25, +3 Power Level Offset

Modifiers:

• Pressure: No automatic recovery of Willpower when critically injured.
  
• Torpedo: Projectile damage from any source is greatly increased.
  
• Snowball: Cryo damage from players is increased.

Guaranteed Reward: Epic Gear


Minimum Power Level 120, +5 Power Level Offset

Modifiers:

• Incinerator: Fire hazards are added to the environment. Plasma damage from enemies and the environment is increased.
  
• Torpedo: Projectile damage from any source is greatly increased.
  
• Heavyweight: Enemy stun meters build at an increased rate.
  
• Pressure: No automatic recovery of Willpower when critically injured.

Guaranteed Reward: Polychoron & Hero-Specific Gear


Priority HARM Room Challenges have additional modifiers and reward comics that increase your collection and boost your stats.

Weekly First Completion Reward: The Invincible Iron Man (2004) #1 (0.5% Critical Chance)

Modifiers:

• Snowball: Cryo damage from players is increased.
  
• Maelstrom: All heroics charge at a significantly increased rate. Entering critical health drains all Heroic energy.

Modifiers:

• Torpedo: Projectile damage from any source is greatly increased.
  
• Clash: Melee damage from any source is greatly increased.
  
• Snowball: Cry damage from players is increased.

The Mega Hive is a single-player chain of eight missions that tests your team’s might. Each week you’ll have a shot at completing the Mega Hive mission chain. When you defeat all eight missions, the Mega Hive mission chain is removed from the War Table until the next weekly refresh, when you can run it again with new modifiers.

This week’s modifiers include:

• Pressure: No automatic recovery of Willpower when critically injured.
  
• Maelstrom: All heroics charge at a significantly increased rate. Entering critical health drains all Heroic energy.
  
• Oasis: Regen Packs have increased Willpower benefit.
  
• Goliath: Significantly increased presence of Exos.

Weekly Rewards: As you progress through the Mega Hive, rewards start as basic resources a small chance of cosmetic drops. The more missions you survive, the resource drops increase, as does your chance at gear and minor artifacts. As you near the final mission, you’ll see artifacts more often, and increased chances of patterns/nameplates. When you complete all eight Mega Hive missions you’ll be rewarded with exclusive goodies reserved for this gauntlet, including a significant amount of rare resources.

• Pressure: Recovering Willpower by any means necessary is key when Pressure is active. Utilize Takedowns, regenerative nanite containers, and skills that boost the chance of enemies dropping Regen Packs to ensure that sustaining critical injuries isn’t always a recipe for a quick defeat.
  
• Torpedo: It’s best to select heroes with strong Ranged Attacks or to equip gear high in the Precision attribute to best take advantage of Torpedo. Don’t forget, enemy Ranged Attacks also do more damage so be sure to Dodge and Evade incoming projectiles!
  
• Incinerator: Equip any gear that provides Plasma resistance and pay careful attention to fire hazards in the environment whenever Incinerator is the modifier in play. Keep clear of the Dreadbot’s close range flamethrower!
  
• Heavyweight: Stunning enemies is a very effective combat tactic and when Heavyweight is active, things just gets easier. Equip gear with a high Intensity attribute score to magnify the impact of this modifier.
  
• Maelstrom: Keeping Willpower high and utilizing Heroics soon after they’re ready is key to maximizing the benefits of the Maelstrom modifier. Focusing on gear that boosts the Resolve or Valor stats are also effective strategies.
  
• Clash: When Clash is active make sure to player a Hero who has strong melee abilities and equip gear high in the Might attribute. Don’t forget, enemies also inflict greater melee damage so watch out for combatants who try to get in close!
  
• Resurgence: Quickly eliminating a single foe as opposed to bouncing around between multiple enemies or trying to control groups with area of effect damage will help make surviving Resurgence easier.
  
• Famine: Focusing on Takedowns and careful usage of the regenerative nanite containers are key to survivability when Famine is active.

Check it out! New to the Marketplace this week is Thor’s Legendary “Bounce” Emote, Ms. Marvel’s Epic “Pizza Dough Has it Rough” Takedown, and Black Widow’s “Fear Itself” Outfit, among others!

Till next week, we'll see you online, and in-game!

Greetings heroes!

Since launching Marvel’s Avengers last week, it’s been amazing to see you play the game and discover the original story campaign of reassembling these heroes and learning more about Kamala Kahn, AIM, and exploring this world. We’re thrilled to hear that those who dove into the campaign have been delighted by it!

Each day we are actively listening to the community’s feedback and we’re committed to this journey together.

We’ve already released three rapid patches over the last week, and V1.2.5 (detailed below and rolling out on some platforms today) addresses larger playthrough stoppers, loading issues, and outfit unlock bugs. We have parallel patches in development with significant improvements requested for matchmaking, retroactive unlock fixes, and more in the works for next week!

Our customer service and community teams are diligently funneling all issues to the development team for us to address in future patches. Keep that feedback coming!

Thank you for going on this journey with us; we have many more adventures to have together! This is only the beginning.

-Scot Amos & the Crystal Dynamics Team

Released September 6

We released a hotfix-patch for Marvel’s Avengers, build 12.11, in response to some significant issues seen for some players. This patch will be applied by Steam automatically when you next start the game. If your game does not update, please restart the Steam client.

List of fixes for this patch:

• Fixes the issue where some outfits were being relocked. We are still investigating how to return outfits that don't come from the Marketplace or through Challenge Cards to affected players.
  
• Fixed a problem which caused some players to fall out of world when starting Avengers Initiative.
  
• Fixes for certain DEVICE_HUNG crashes that some uses are experiencing.

Please visit our Known Issues & Workarounds thread on Reddit for regular updates.

We’re still hard at work to fix as many issues as we can. Please keep providing feedback to us!

Marvel’s Avengers is an epic, third-person, action-adventure game that combines an original, cinematic story with single-player and co-operative gameplay*. Assemble into a team of up to four players online, master extraordinary abilities, customize a growing roster of Heroes, and defend the Earth from escalating threats.

Marvel’s Avengers begins at A-Day, where the Avengers are unveiling a hi-tech new Headquarters in San Francisco. The celebration turns deadly when a catastrophic accident results in massive devastation. Blamed for the tragedy, the Avengers disband. Five years later, with all Super Heroes outlawed and the world in peril, a sprawling adventure ignites when a determined young woman named Kamala Khan sets out to reassemble the Avengers to stop the secretive new force known as AIM.

*One-time online access required for single-player campaign; online access required for multiplayer and to download post-launch content. Free Square Enix Members account required.

We have just released our first patch for Marvel’s Avengers, build 12.9. This patch is primarily focused on stability, based on the data we have collected after Early Access started a few days ago.

The patch will be applied by Steam automatically when you next start the game. If your game does not update, please restart the Steam client.

List of fixes for this patch:

• Implemented work-around for NVIDIA 10-series driver problem that was causing crashes when using ALT-TAB, ALT-ENTER, and other situations.
  
• Enabling Steam Cloud to allow you to easily synchronize your save-games between multiple PCs.
  
• Fixed a problem that caused some players to be unable to throw rocks as Hulk or to shoot as Iron Man.
  
• Fix for a DEVICE_HUNG crash some users experienced in the sewers.
  
• Various other stability improvements.

We are aware of a number of other issues that are causing problems for some of our players, and teams are hard at work addressing those, but for now we want to make sure we get these stability improvements that have already been identified to all of you. Please keep your feedback coming, and we will be releasing further patches as fixes are found.

Trading cards are on the way and will be here soon. Rest assured, they are retroactive and will be completed based on your progress so you won’t miss out!
