Hello!
Quick Updates from the work done today:
Test Center will be ready for public testing on Wednesday evening. We'll have test center patch notes at that time which Ryolnir is working on right now. We've had a full day of internal testing and we're about 95% ready to go. It will go live when it's ready with minimal bugs.
Luke Cage will be in test center. He's extremely polished with full VFX, animations, powers and 80% of his sound work done already. Vehicular Manslaughter, Sweet Christmas, Combo Fighter, Business is Good, Crowbar Beatdown, Chunk O Concrete, Harlem Dropkick and Cage Was Here are some power names!
The hero prestige system is complete. This is an extremely simple system that let's you restart your character over once you've reach level 60. There are no power level upgrades associated with this system, just cosmetics. Green, blue, purple, orange and red names for your hero if you choose to complete all 5 levels of prestige. I am tempted to do this, but I also want to level up everyone to 50, so this will be a tough choice. Your prestige level will also allow you to buy the appropriately colored new Iron Buddies for credits (all 5 colors depending on your prestige level - only available for prestige players). Prestige reset does not affect synergies in any way.
The Hero Synergy System is completely done and tested. The UI is pretty sweet and everything works flawlessly.
We have a recipe to upgrade a rare to a cosmic. Super expensive, but you will now have a reason to save the "perfect" purple.
Another large wave of uniques added.
Buffs to many artifacts and almost every Medallion in the game, plus the nerf to FFF that was coming so it's not 100% crit with 100% uptime.
Buffs to loot and experience in many areas of the game, particularly story mode.
A new artifact, Hand of Doom that will contend with Edge of Infinity for #1 spot. Drops from tier 4 Doom.
Legendary Quests of Odin will send players all over the game to enjoy the awesome story content was getting the "most efficient" experience. Have fun while leveling instead of Hood runs (or do both). Odin's rewards can be used to craft Legendary Blessings that enchant your two artifact slots.
New power scaling tech that adjust the damage curve of powers so powers unlocked at low levels are just as strong when using +ranks. This is a buff to every power that unlocks below level 30.
Lady Deadpool and new Black Widow costume. Both are amazing.
X-Defense continual adjustments to make it more fun.
New crafting recipes and a few surprises to find in the world!
EDIT: Note than Iron Man was done already, so we did not work on him at all today. I did enjoy his jet-assisted movement while hovering around Avengers Tower.
