The unveiling of Omega prestige for Marvel Heroes Omega wasn’t entirely positive, with many players taking umbrage with the newly introduced seventy Omega prestige levels. As each prestige level offers more power, in order to fully kit out your character, that means reaching Omega prestige and then going through the increasingly arduous leveling process seventy times, going back to level one each time, losing your powers, and having to re-gear.

As a result, Gazillion has laid out plans for omega prestige going forward, including adding the benefits of Omega up front rather than requiring players to level up over and over again to become more powerful:

Instead of removing power entirely, we are instead frontloading some of the bonuses onto Omega Prestige 1 (final values still being determined). This means that the Omega Traits will have much more potency as soon as they are acquired, and will not require any further leveling to get more powerful. All of the power gained from Omega Prestige will be given immediately, up-front.

To make omega prestige levels attractive, Gazillion will begin rewarding currency for each prestige level gained that can be redeemed for prestigious loot boxes containing boosts and other rewards. Characters who prestige will also receive scaling gear that should mitigate the grind to re-roll gear. The prestige gear will grow with the player and inevitably be replaced by higher tier gear closer to end-game.

Marvel Heroes is giving its players what they’ve demanded, if your demands include more incentive to grind, by introducing a new prestige tier. Set to launch on August 31, Omega Prestige continues the leveling system of resetting your character to level 1 for costumes (on PC) and increased ranks (on pc and console). Omega prestige will increase its rank for each time you hit 60, up to 70 times. Since Omega Prestige is a big change, Gazillion has announced that it will be rolled out on a character by character basis, starting with Spider Man.

With the new Omega Prestige system, we will introduce “Omega Prestige” status for select heroes with a new “Omega Prestige Rank” system for those looking to unlock the true potential of a hero and to help prepare players for more challenging end-game content coming soon. Omega Prestige marks the culmination of your hero’s journey. This is an extension of the normal Prestige system, extending end-game playtime considerably for anyone who is up to the challenge.

Perks include:

• 60 second reduction for ultimate ability
• Doubled stat boosts from synergy bonuses
• A unique legendary item
• A prestige nameplate
• A prestige flourish (spray)
• And more!

For those of you on console who don’t feel like hitting prestige rank 6, Gazillion is selling a pack to unlock Omega prestige for $40. The pack will be available for one month starting August 31. For more information, check out the link below.
