Got Blade to 60 last night, threw my Splinters at "Random Hero" box and got Nightcrawler, I guess I could work on him or Squirrel girl as my second 60.

Hey folks,

This week's patch went live yesterday, which was a fairly small patch to switch us over to the A.R.M.O.R Incursion event, which is now live and will run through Thursday, October 20th at 11:59 PM (PDT). There was a minor error in patch notes that referred to next Thursday as October 21st, which has been corrected on the forum notes and should be reflected in the in-game patch notes soon. This week we also released the new Elektra Ultimate costume, which is now available in the store. You can find the patch notes for yesterday's patch here if you missed them:

Marvel Heroes 2016 1.30 Patch Notes

There will not be a patch next week as our focus turns to the major game updates currently in progress as mentioned in our developer blog series. As such, Test Center will not be updated next week. The next patch for the live servers is scheduled to roll out at the end of October. As we get closer we'll be able to share more about what will be coming to Marvel Heroes this Halloween - it may be a bit stranger than usual this year.

Regarding the Lucky Draw system, there's been a lot of discussion regarding the G coupons that can be awarded. We've been following the discussion closely and wanted to investigate the concerns you have raised before making any statements or actions. After reviewing our metrics for how these coupons have been distributed, while the rate that these coupons have been awarded falls in line with our expectations, we did find that the accounts that they were being distributed to revealed an unexpected pattern in how they were chosen. As such, we are rolling out some platform changes today to ensure that all accounts will have the same chances of receiving the possible G coupon rewards available in the Lucky Draw system. These changes should be in effect as of tomorrow's Lucky Draw for all players. We'll continue to monitor the Lucky Draw system to ensure it is serving its intended purpose of benefitting our players to the best of our ability.

Our developer blog talking about the Personal Difficulty Slider is still in progress at this time. As before, we will be posting these directly to the forum for discussion as soon as it is ready, but it will not be posted this weekend. We're working hard to bring the developer blogs to everyone while still moving towards our goal of starting to roll these changes out to Test Center around the end of October. Until then, you'll have to keep an eye on the forums for the latest news, so stay tuned.

That's wraps up this week's Friday update. Have a great weekend!
Almost sounds like the "if you haven't spent much/any money on the game you're more likely to receive the major discount coupons" tinfoil crowd might have been right.

Never change, Gaz. Or do, I guess.

Hi guys, Yogidad here. It would be great if these coupons went to non-whale customers imo. Obviously I can't tell you to do something like that for legal reasons, but if there were to be some sort of unexpected pattern in the distribution that would be bodacious. Keep gleamin' those cubes!

I just received a 50% off coupon (so far it's been almost exclusively 5% off with one or two ten-percenters), so maybe they really did fix their poo poo. :shrug:

Well, "fix", but still.

Is it really that hard to say that there is going to be a slider that makes enemies hit harder/have more health and in exchange they will drop more loot and grant more xp?

They still don't know what they're actually going to do with the difficulty slider, so they're afraid to make promises they can't or won't keep.

if gaz was afraid to make promises they couldn't keep then ap3 would have been 4 heroes and thanos raid never would have been mentioned

gaz does a wonderful job of overpromising and then delivering whatever they can

I heard they're doing a solo version of that Green Mush raid? Will we see that before 2020?
