Patches suck. Everything can seem fine and dandy in the test environment and then once the update goes live everything tends to break down. But enough about my last week, let’s talk about video games. Gazillion Entertainment released patch 1.11 last night for Marvel Heroes, which introduced the Human Torch as a playable character as well as the new system to make it much easier to acquire heroes without having to resort to the cash shop. The update is massive, if you have some time you can head over to this link to read the patch notes. The update contains a heavy amount of balancing on the existing heroes as well.
Unfortunately, as tends to happen with big updates, patch 1.11 rendered the game unplayable. With a few hours of downtime, the team pushed another patch reverting the game back to its pre-1.11 state and has assured gamers that any purchases made will still be there. The servers are coming back up just as this article is published.
