Latest changes, events and additions
The Civil War Event is now live and runs continuously. Pick a side, earn influence tokens from any enemy while under your faction buff, and level up the new vendors near the Avengers Tower S.T.A.S.H. for fan-favorite artifacts.
Both faction items are stocked in the Cash Shop — 20 G each:
Side-loot from event terminals and Clea has been cleaned up so the Civil War faction items are exclusively in the Cash Shop and at the new liaison vendors.
A big batch of changes deploying at the next daily restart (6:00 AM UTC) — proper event NPCs in Avengers Tower, a story XP rebalance, and back-end performance improvements.
The server now restarts every Friday at 10:30 UTC (30 minutes after the event rollover) to properly refresh event NPCs in Avengers Tower. You will see different vendors and buff NPCs each week based on the active rotation:
A 10-minute restart warning will broadcast in-game with a message explaining which event is starting.
We have rebalanced story mission XP to feel closer to the original retail pacing. The story campaign now rewards its proper base XP values without being drowned out by stacked potions — while all other forms of XP progression remain fully intact.
This change only affects story mission rewards. XP gained from patrols, terminals, one-shots, raids, Holo-Sim, X-Defense, Danger Room and cosmic content is completely unchanged — use your potions there to full effect as always.
The goal is to preserve the feel of playing through the story while keeping the endgame grind satisfying. Let us know in Discord how it feels and we will tune it further if needed.
The rotating Special Event Terminal has been cleaned up. It now only sells the custom items we added, rather than a kitchen sink of random loot tables:
These 4 items are now available at the event terminal regardless of which event is currently active (Orders From The Hand, Heroes For Hire, Wealth of Kings, End of Summer, etc.). The Silver Stars are still also purchasable from Clea with Seals of Conflict.
The Anniversary Operations Vendor and legacy boost exchange vendors have been removed — the Anniversary event vendor will return in June when the anniversary event is active via the new automated event system.
Some back-end tuning to reduce hitches and make the server smoother under load:
You may notice fewer “server-side delay” spikes in the network debug overlay.
Server backend updated to MHServerEmu 1.0.1 — includes a crash fix for Omega/Infinity bonuses, PvP matchmaking buckets (1v1/2v2/3v3/4v4/5v5 via !pvp commands), boost cooldowns to prevent spam abuse, login queue improvements, and daily event-specific login gifts.
We have added a new Endgame Guide to the website — your roadmap from Level 60 to fully geared hero. Covers the Cosmic Trial, cosmic artifact farming, G.L.F. reputation, raids, weekly event schedule, and long-term Omega/Synergy goals. Great for new players hitting 60 for the first time.
We have upgraded the server backend to the latest nightly build, bringing a fully automated event system. Events now rotate automatically at 10:00 UTC each day — no more manual restarts needed. You will see a “Today’s Events” message in chat when you log in.
Two event rotations run simultaneously — a main weekly event and a secondary weekly event. Both rotate every Friday at the daily reset. Midtown Madness runs every Monday as a bonus event on top of the weekly rotation.
Rotates every Friday in this order:
Enhanced cosmic loot drops everywhere — terminals, patrols, Holo-Sim, X-Defense, raids, and one-shots all get cosmic chaos loot tables.
Odin’s Bounty loot activates across the game. Extra rewards and special drops from all boss encounters.
Omega event loot tables active. Receive a daily Omega File Box gift each time you log in during this event.
Mystic-themed event with enhanced loot and encounters across all game modes.
The ARMOR Drive event activates loot tables across all game modes. SHIELD and HYDRA powerup orbs drop from bosses giving temporary combat buffs. Includes the A.R.M.O.R. Defender instanced mission.
Runs alongside the main event, also rotates every Friday:
Luke Cage’s Heroes for Hire event. Receive a daily gift on login. Special vendor inventory available.
Kingpin-themed event with unique rewards and vendor items.
The Hand faction event. Receive a daily gift on login. Special vendor inventory available.
Bonus loot drops in Midtown Manhattan patrol zone. Extra rewards from Midtown bosses and events. Receive a daily Midtown Madness gift on login.

We have made some big changes to make endgame content more accessible for solo players and small groups. All raids and patrol zones have been tuned so you can jump in without needing a full group. These are our starting values — we will be adjusting the balance based on your feedback, so let us know how it feels!
Both raids are now tuned for solo and small group play. No more waiting for a full 10-player group to experience raid content.
The Surtur Raid has been rebalanced for solo and small group play. Boss and trash mob health has been reduced, Meteor Strike damage lowered, and weaken auras have been disabled on Hellfire, Brimstone, and trash mobs.
The March to Axis / Onslaught Raid has been tuned for solo and small group play. Boss and trash mob health and ability damage have been reduced across the board.
Patrol zone bosses have been tuned for solo and small group play. Adjustments will continue based on community feedback.
36 patrol bosses including Doctor Doom, Juggernaut, Green Goblin, Electro, and more. Tuned for solo and small group friendly play.
43 patrol bosses including MODOK, Loki, Doctor Octopus, Living Laser, and more. Tuned for solo and small group friendly play.
19 patrol bosses. Tuned for solo and small group friendly play.
All balance values will be adjusted based on community feedback. If something feels too easy or too hard, let us know on Discord and we will tune it. This is your server — help us make it right.
The following items have been added to in-game vendors:
Seals of Conflict now drop from bosses across all game modes. This currency is used to purchase items from Clea's vendor including Captain America's Silver Star.
The Surtur Raid has been tuned for solo and small group play:
