Unfortunately, players are still facing several problems with the game. Today’s Marvel Avengers version 1.000.014 will fix a few of these issues.
Avengers 1.000.014 Patch Notes (1.7.0)
NEW FEATURES
Red Room Takeover Event – Yelena Belova has a bone to pick with Black Widow. Multiple hacked HARM Rooms will be available during this event along with new mission chains. These HARM Rooms are single player and will also scale from Power Level 1 to 120.
- Minor missions will award the player the newly re-introduced Surging Set gear if their Hero is above Power Level 80. Heroes below 80 with get scaling gear.
- The major mission will award the nameplate, a large amount of Polychoron, and Upgrade Modules. Heroes above PL120 will also get 1 piece from the Exotic set found in Last Avenger Standing. Heroes who are PL119 or lower will get scaling gear.
- Scaling gear is a reward type that is designed to moderately improve a player’s Power Level without having a fixed rarity. It will have Power Level improvements similar to mission completions, but make sure that the rarity is appropriate to the Hero’s Power Level.
Champion System – With the new Champion System, Heroes who are level 50 can now earn XP to further improve their combat abilities. Once a Hero reaches level 50, earned XP from that point on is changed to Champion XP, which is specific to each Hero. Earning enough Champion XP will increase your Champion Level allowing you to unlock brand new Champion Skills.
Hero’s Catalyst – As a compliment to the Champion System, we’re also introducing Hero’s Catalysts, which increase the amount of XP you’ll earn. These will occasionally be available for free to retrieve from the Marketplace, and we’re looking at other ways for you to earn them, as well. Hero’s Catalysts are a great way to catch up to friends or to level up any Heroes that haven’t reached level 50 yet.

Gear and Challenges
Developer Comments: We have made a number of improvements for gear in an effort to make gear drops more impactful and more consistent. These include improvements to drops from enemies, missions, chests, as well as what vendors sell.
We are dropping less non-useful items, but the items we are dropping are much more likely to be useful. The net effect of this change is that it’s faster to increase in Power Level although the number of items from enemies will be lower.
Gear rarities have a larger effect on attributes at all Power Levels. For example, a Rare item at PL 33 will have more attribute points on average than an Uncommon item at PL 33. Additionally, the attribute point ranges on higher Power Level items have been increased.
We have more exciting improvements to Gear coming, but we wanted to get these to you as soon as possible.
- All chests have had Minor Artifacts added as possible drops.
- Gold chests will no longer award common items.
- Bronze and Silver Chests have a reduced chance at granting a Common item.
- Branded gear has a better chance of giving that Brand’s preferred attributes.
- Some missions have had fixed rarity rewards replaced with rewards that scale the rarity to the active heroes’ current Power Level.
- Resolved an issue where Hero Set Gear could have equal to or worse attributes than Epic gear.
- Resolved an issue where vendors were sometimes offering gear of the wrong rarity and Power Level. The effect of this change is that a hero increase in Power Level the vendor will offer better rewards for that hero.
- Fixed several missions so they display accurate rewards.
- Missions show more detailed secondary rewards when those rewards are available.
- Removed the rarity reward penalty for getting low star rating on missions.
- Resolved an issue where Old Fashioned Beatdown achievement/trophy would sometimes not track and unlock properly.
- Fixed login issues.
- Addressed game loading problems
- Addressed stuttering and lag issues.
- Multiplayer improvements added.
- Added gameplay optimizations.
