SERVER INFO
A rundown of everything we've changed, added and tweaked on MH Reborn.
DIFFICULTY TUNING
The vanilla difficulty was tuned for large groups that don't really exist on a private server. We've pulled the numbers back so solo and small group play actually feels fair.
HERO BALANCE
Some heroes were just really struggling in Cosmic content compared to others. We gave them a hand. Nobody got nerfed — buffs only, and they only kick in at max level so levelling is unaffected.
If your main felt weak compared to what other people were running, there's a decent chance they're on this list. The goal isn't to make everyone identical — just to make sure no hero feels completely hopeless in endgame content. If your hero isn't listed here they were already in an okay spot, or we haven't got to them yet.
○ Green dot = damage & survivability buffed ○ Cyan dot = tank role
- Wolverine — Rampage resource cost significantly reduced, making it much more usable in extended fights.
SLING RING
We added the Sling Ring to the game — it wasn't obtainable before. It drops from Mystic Mayhem Coffers in Limbo and comes in 5 versions, one for each damage type. Pick the one that matches how your hero deals damage.
- +550 Damage Rating (to your damage type — see variants below)
- +250 Critical Hit Rating
- +5% Attack Speed
- +2,843 Health
- When you use a Signature power, the Sling Ring projects a mystical shield around you, granting invulnerability for 2 seconds. (10s cooldown)
PRESTIGE REWARDS
We added proper rewards for hitting Cosmic Prestige Level 60. The vanilla server didn't have much to show for it, so we made it worth the grind.
- Doomsaw — A legendary weapon, handed to you automatically the first time you hit Cosmic Prestige L60 on each hero.
- 36 Cosmic Fortune Cards — A big stack of Fortune Cards (randomised Mk 1–6) to crack open for costumes, cosmetics and loot.
- Server-Wide Broadcast — Everyone online gets notified when you hit it. Yes, everyone. We see you.
- Discord Hall of Fame — Every achievement is automatically posted to #hall-of-fame on Discord with your name, hero and portrait. Permanent record.
- Per-Avatar — Rewards reset per hero, so if you prestige a second character you get the lot again.
LOOT & DROPS
A few things we changed about how loot works. Nothing crazy, just stuff that made the game feel better to play.
Splinters now drop from everything — normal mobs, elites, mini-bosses, bosses, all of it. In vanilla they barely dropped at all outside of bosses. Spend them in the in-game store to unlock heroes, costumes, buffs and more.
All Fortune Card tiers can now drop from bosses and event content — not just Mk 1 like in vanilla. Character Tokens are also in the pool. Worth cracking open whatever you get.
Those chests you walk past in patrol zones are actually worth opening now — they drop loot at your current item level instead of something useless from three tiers ago.
Civil War tokens now only drop for the side you chose. If you're Anti-Registration you'll get Cap tokens, Pro-Registration gets Iron Man tokens. No more picking up currency for the wrong team.
The Supply Drop loot has been cleaned up. Every box guarantees 1 Unique + 1 Cosmic armor. Cosmetics, relics, currency and other extras still drop but at a reduced rate — your stash won't be buried in stuff you didn't ask for.
SOLO PLAY & QoL
Bits and pieces we added or tweaked to make day-to-day play less annoying.
-
500 Commendations from Genoshea Weekly — The Genoshea weekly now gives 500 Hero and Protector Commendations. Much better for solo players grinding progression.
-
Currency Stacking — Duplicate currencies auto-stack in your inventory. Your bags won't fill up with 47 separate piles of the same currency anymore.
-
XP Potions on Story Missions — XP pots don't boost story mission XP anymore. They still work everywhere else. We just didn't want people blasting through the campaign in 20 minutes on a fresh hero.Synergy XP — still applies to story1 hero at L60 = +30% • 2 heroes = +50% • 3 heroes = +65% • 4 heroes = +75%
5+ heroes at L60 = +5% per hero on top of the 75%
Each L30 hero = +1% • Each L50 hero = +3% • Max 200%
-
Civil War Influence Vendors — Both Iron Man and Captain America's Civil War vendors are up in Avengers Tower HUB if you need them for the Civil War content.
-
Event Gifts — We push out free gifts to all players during events. They show up automatically — nothing to claim manually.
-
Rogue Exclusive —
!power stealavatarpowers— 24h cooldown.
CUSTOM MODS
We run 28 custom C# mods on top of the base server. Most of these are things you'll never notice directly — they just keep things stable and working correctly. The ones that affect gameplay are listed in the sections above.
- Hero Balance System — 16 heroes tuned with custom damage and survivability buffs at max level.
- Class Balance Gates — Balance patches only activate at level cap, leaving levelling unaffected.
- XP Potion Nerf — XP potions no longer boost story mission XP. Synergy bonuses unaffected.
- Currency Stacking — Duplicate currency drops automatically merge into a single stack.
- Stackable Chest Upgrades — World chests now scale loot to your current item level.
- Cosmic Prestige L60 Reward — Awards Doomsaw + 36 Cosmic Fortune Cards on first prestige per avatar.
- Fortune Card Randomisation — Prestige cards roll varied Mk 1–6 types instead of all Mk 1.
- Prestige Server Broadcast — Cosmic Prestige L60 milestone announced to all online players.
- Event Gift Cadence — Per-event gift timing so players receive gifts on the correct schedule.
- Gift Guard — Gift system skips deprecated items cleanly instead of erroring.
- Database Protection — Corrupted save files are skipped safely rather than taking the server down.
- Character Load Safety — If a character fails to load the server keeps running for everyone else.
- Cross-Platform Support — Server runs cleanly on both Windows and Linux without separate builds.
- Vendor Flexibility — In-game vendors can be updated via data files, no code change needed.
- Leaderboard Stability — Leaderboard no longer crashes the server when it refreshes or archives.
- HP Bonus Fix — Hero HP bonuses from balance patches apply correctly and stack properly.

CREDITS
MH Reborn wouldn't exist without the people who built the foundation we run on.
Everything we do here is built on top of MHServerEmu — an open source Marvel Heroes server emulator. The amount of reverse engineering and work that has gone into that project is genuinely impressive, and none of this would be possible without it.
Massive thanks to the core team and contributors:
