Marvel Heroes 2016 1.26 Patch Notes
Civil War Continues
Tensions are on the rise in the world of Marvel Heroes as the world fills up with more and more superheroes and supervillians, whose battles grow ever more dangerous to the world around them...
Madripoor Bazaar Chase - Maria Hill and S.H.I.E.L.D have been busy tracking Crossbones and have located him in a heavily populated Bazaar located in Madripoor. Many innocent civilians are trapped and only our heroes can go in and help them! The chase ends with a confrontation with Crossbones that will have a very polarizing effect on the world and their opinions on super heroes. This challenge can be accessed from any Waypoint in the Challenges tab.
Bonus Experience - Regardless of whether you’re #TeamCap or #TeamIronMan, all heroes will receive 50% bonus XP during the duration of the event!
The following Civil War characters will gain an additional 50% bonus XP during the Civil War event, which will end on September 20th!
Captain America
Iron Man
- Winter Soldier
- Black Panther
- Hawkeye
- Ant-Man
- Black Widow
- War Machine
- Scarlet Witch
- Vision
- Spider-Man
Upon completing the Crossbones Pursuit scenario and returning to a hub, you’ll be asked to choose your side:
Pro-Registration - Led by Iron Man, these heroes have come together in agreement that the Superhuman Registration Act is necessary to keep those with powers beyond that of a normal human in check. Personal responsibility is not enough when the entire world can be thrown into chaos by the actions of so few.
Anti-Registration - Led by Captain America, these heroes believe the Superhuman Registration Act will lead to a future where people fear superheroes, and puts the freedom and safety of those with superpowers at risk. The cost is simply too high, and will not lead to a better tomorrow.
Once you’ve chosen your side in the conflict, you’ll be transported to a hub area only those on your side can access. Informants have revealed that talks thus far have failed to garner full support for the Superhuman Registration Act, and some superheroes have been spotted gathering at a nearby airfield, with tensions reaching a boiling point…
After completing the Airfield Showdown mission fighting for your side in the conflict, you will unlock a Cosmic version of the mission you can access during the Civil War event from the Challenges tab. You’ll also unlock Daily & Weekly Influence missions specific to either the Pro-Registration or Anti-Registration side. Additionally, you’ll be able to access a buff that allows additional Reputation Tokens to drop from enemies & bosses out in the world, allowing you to increase your Influence further, as well as Seals of Conflict. As your influence with either side increases, you will unlock more rewards at the vendor within your side’s hub area to spend Seals of Conflict on!
