# Misc Changes

Rested experience gains have been changed to be more consistent across different levels.

# Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug where players using missile powers (and a few other powers like Rocket Raccoon’s turrets) frequently failed to be awarded the proper experience when playing with others nearby.

Experience is now scaled from your level and the level of the mission. This will remove unintended power leveling of low level players guided by a high level party. This fix was needed for missions only, as mobs and bosses were already working as intended.

Added a fix that prevents artifacts that don't provide a costume visual effect from being used in the ‘Add Visuals to Costume’ crafting recipe.

Fixed an issue where party member arrows would not show up when party members are very far apart.

After switching to a new hero for the first time, resetting your progress via the UI pop-up now works correctly.

Yellow arrow now functioning for Smash HYDRA! Mission.

Fixed an issue where loading screen SFX would continue after loading into an area.

Fixed the Intelligence Stat level 1 tooltip to display the correct value of -15% experience gain instead of -20%.

Fixed various issues where clicking on an NPC would bring up a UI and the mouse would auto-click something in that UI unintentionally.

Fixed a bug where you could get into a state where you could not Story Warp back to the Raft.

Fixed an issue in which many damage over time powers had tooltips that showed much higher damage.

Enemies associated with discovery missions no longer are stuck in inappropriate actions some times.

Discovery missions in Mutate Caves will now respawn as intended.

Fixed a bug where the lowest level gear upgrade recipes went from level 1-9 instead of 1-12.

Artifact Visual Effect orbs will now be evenly spaced around the player.

Fixed an issue where Med Kits would not always stack.

Fixed issue where certain mob visual effects would get stuck on the ground.

The buildings in ‘Mutant Town : Projects” now occlude properly.

## Boss Fixes

Bullseye's Mark For Death will no longer target turrets or other summoned entities. Bullseye will also no longer interrupt Mark For Death by switching to a different target.

Portal will now spawn as intended when defeating MODOK.

Fixed a bug where Shocker would stop attacking.

Rhino's charging ability will be perform more reliably and accurately.

Doctor Doom's Death From Above attack now plays visual effects in the correct location.

Fixed an issue where Doctor Doom’s phase 2 appearance disappeared.

## Hero/Power Fixes

Fixed FX for some powers (AOEs, including a lot of melee attacks) occasionally not playing when they kill an enemy.

Black Widow: Tooltip fixed to properly display number of microdrones fired.

Captain America: Combat Veteran now works properly.

Cyclops: Basic powers synergy now works consistently.

Deadpool: Fixed damage values in Stink Bomb's tooltip.

Deadpool: Removed duplicate next rank tooltip from Armor Buster power.

Deadpool: Shoot All the Bullets now properly receives extra damage from synergy.

Hulk: Mighty Smash now works properly.

Ms Marvel: Crashdown Strike now has knock down duration on tooltip.

Ms Marvel: Stellar Flare can now be slotted on the right mouse button.

Ms Marvel: Stellar Flare now has knock down duration on tooltip.

Rocket Raccoon: Blaster Turret attack speed has been increased.

Fixed an issue where slow powers would not slow.

Fixed powers getting "stuck on" if you put the same power in the power bar twice.

Fixed a case where you could get a power failing to activate on the server by spamming it repeatedly. The power would run on player’s client, but would not properly work on the server, thus it appears that the power did not work. Characters like Hulk and Colossus are examples of heroes that were affected by this.

# Known Major Issues

Guild functionality is currently disabled, and War Machine has been temporarily removed from the game. This functionality will be re-enabled as soon as possible.

Turning in 10 Cube Shards for a Fortune Card will occasionally fail and not grant a Fortune Card. Use at your own risk.

French and German localization is almost, but not entirely complete; some English text may be found.

Store icon for Spider-Man displays an incorrect costume; Spider-Man comes equipped with his Modern costume, not the Classic costume shown.

Powers that deal damage over time currently cannot score critical hits.

After being defeated by Pyro, there is a chance that players will be brought back to Xavier’s School rather than the beginning of the instance where Pyro is found.

Cars may not respawn in city environments.

Defeating the Green Goblin on the Raft will give you a hero token even if you have all of the Starter Heroes; this is not the final design.

Elite and Champion Mobs do not have the correct health.

### Audio

Sound may be lost intermittently after changing locations.

Rapid fire powers may erroneously stack sound effects.

### Missions

Find Agent Baker: Agent Baker does not spawn, so mission cannot be completed.

Some ‘Discovery’ missions may not trigger correctly.

### UI And In-Game Store

Cinematics button on the log-in screen has two extra cinematics listed. Should only show Chronicles Of Doom and Game Opener.

Red Mission Arrows do not trigger until getting extremely close to the appropriate mission objective.

Clicking on a vendor may not send your hero directly to them.

===Endgame – Daily Missions:
