Here are some patch notes on the new update:

NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE
With today’s update, we’ve revamped the starting area of the game with an entirely new tutorial scenario designed to introduce new players to the world of Marvel Heroes 2016 in a much more exciting fashion!

New players will now begin the game in Times Square under siege by Ultron and his horde of sentries, and given control of Avengers such as Captain America, Black Widow and Hulk to try and save the city! Along the way to putting an end to Ultron’s assault, this new scenario will better teach players how to play Marvel Heroes 2016, explaining basic functions such as assigning and using new powers, or switching between heroes using the roster system.

This new scenario replaces the previous Bank Robbery section, and once completed leads directly into the Raft portion of the prologue where the Story mode begins. In an update coming soon, we will also be introducing a new version of the Raft that is further tutorialized.

ENEMY TUNING CHANGES
Global Enemy Tuning Changes

Miniboss enemies were incorrectly gaining more health and damage than intended, and this has been corrected in all regions.
Specific Boss Tuning Changes

Damage has been reduced for the following bosses & powers (these changes impact any zones where these bosses appear):

Sentinels – Missile attack and ground stomp
Living Laser – Beam sweep
Wizard – Triple disk attack
Magneto – Channeled area attack and prison attack
Sabretooth – Flurry attack and bleed damage
M.O.D.O.K. – Triple rocket attack
Sauron – Flame hotspot
Electro – Electricity hotspot
Cosmic War Skrull – Dash attack
Gorgon – Melee attack
Cosmic Trial

Sentinel damage has been greatly reduced, and various other enemies have had damage increased. This should more closely match the previous difficulty of the Cosmic Trial.
Holo-Sim

Hulk’s Car Toss damage greatly reduced
Midtown Patrol

Doombots – Damage reduced
Gang Arsonists – Molotov attack damage reduced
Industry City Patrol

The Surtur Demons that are a part of the Loki wave have had their damage corrected to no longer one-shot players.
Hightown Patrol

Overall damage dealt by mobs reduced
The Cultist and S.H.I.E.L.D. wave ranged enemies have had their damage greatly reduced
Health has been reduced for the following bosses:

Mindless Titan
Elektra
Nick Fury
War Skrulls
Danger Room

Traps have received another tuning pass and in general now deal reduced damage
The Contagious affix damage has been greatly reduced.

GAMEPAD SUPPORT CHANGES
Some offensive powers that performed automatic teleport to enemies were a bit tricky to use on a gamepad previously, so we’ve changed the behavior for these powers to use the auto-targeting system to allow them to only teleport to the targeted enemy instead of maximum distance. The following powers are affected when using a gamepad:

Deadpool – Cutting Room Floor
Elektra – Not Even The Stars
Magik – Seven-League Step
Nightcrawler – Brimstone Beatdown, Righteous Frenzy
Silver Surfer – Death From Below
Vision – Comeuppance

In addition, zone portals should now be fixed to always be interactable when using a gamepad.

MINOR CHANGES & BUG FIXES
Fixed an ongoing UI issue where the names of items dropped would not display properly.

Fixed an issue that could cause tooltips to become stuck on screen when holding right mouse while passing the cursor over a UI element that displayed a hover tooltip.

Fixed an issue where the Gamepad Notification would not display the correct image.

Fixed a visual issue with Spider-Man’s Leaping Assault while wearing the Spider-Gwen costume.

Fixed an issue where the Industry City Eviction Notice would not complete with defeating all objectives. Kirigi and his Hand friends weren’t happy when we took him out of Industry City Patrol and left a parting gift that was causing problems. Ninja are tricky like that.

Fixed a visual issue that could cause Elektra’s sai to remain absent after using Blossom of Death.

Fixed various typos across multiple items. Considering the possibility of spell check in our editor…

Modified some achievements that would previously require a player to complete an objective in the Queens Bank Heist scenario. In addition, some have become Feats.

KNOWN ISSUES
The Crossbones Pursuit scenario will not reset once completed and you are returned to Avenger’s Tower. Until this is addressed in a future update, you can force the area to reset by switching to another hero in the Hero Roster.

I’ll be playing through some of the new content from Civil War over the coming weeks, so keep an eye on our YouTube channel for more Marvel Heroes 2016 videos.

Will you be joining Team Captain America or Team Irom Man this month?
