Marvel Heroes is gearing up to completely overhaul their titular ARPG, and everyone is invited to the party. As announced this week, over the span of several updates Gazillion Entertainment will be making major changes to how you level up and how you play in Marvel Heroes going forward. Long time players are well acquainted with the regular New 52 updates, bringing heroes up to date and tweaking them for the modern mechanics, but can you handle every character changing at once?
That’s right. Every single Hero in the game will be receiving a design update. All. At. Once.Naturally, we are spending more time on this project than most of our previous updates. In this post, we will be discussing three systems involved in this endeavor: Power Points, Talents, and Traits.
The most immediate change is going to be in powers. No longer will players have to level up to unlock powers and then stick points into those to make them viable. All powers will be viable as soon as they are unlocked, with power points being placed into your base stats. Items that affected powers previously will be updated to be just as useful as they were before. Secondly, all heroes will have five sets of talents. Talents exist in their own tree and can offer passive bonuses, mechanical changes, and even replace powers entirely.
Third, all heroes will now have one defensive and one offensive passive trait, themed after the character and unique to each person.
Marvel Heroes is no stranger to massive annual updates, these types of updates are what transformed a mostly mediocre launch into the game that it is today.
