Marvel Avengers Alliance Developers Note: Introducing Season 2: Chapter 4

Hi agents! How about season 2 chapter 1 to 3. Playdom is going to release Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2: Chapter 4 very soon. Season 2 chapter 2 is coming with some new feature. In this post we are going to exclusive upcoming update of store.

Augmented Iso-8/Level 14

Season 2, Chapter 4 is finally upon us, and with it comes many exciting developments, including Level 14, which introduces a new way to upgrade heroes, Augmented Iso-8. The goal of Augmented Iso-8 is to offer players another vector for customizing heroes. While basic Iso-8 modifies a hero’s stats and Enhanced Iso-8 grant new passive effects, Augmented Iso-8 allow a player to customize a hero’s individual moves.

After two years of studying the effects of Iso-8 in the lab, Hank Pym and Reed Richards have discovered how to engineer Iso-8 that can safely augment heroes’ natural abilities. This Augmented Iso-8, or A-Iso, can be attached to a hero’s move, giving it new properties. Each Augmented Iso-8 can only be equipped to a certain kind of move, however. One might only modify Unarmed attacks, while another might modify only Energy attacks. Certain Augmented Iso-8 can only be used by a specific hero to modify one of their signature moves.

Each of a hero’s four move slots has one slot for an Augmented Iso-8. At level 8, a hero can equip one Augmented Iso-8 onto one of their moves. This can go into any move they have unlocked, but they cannot have more than one move equipped at a time. However, players can safely unequip Augmented Iso-8 from a move at any time, allowing them to equip a different move. At level 14, they can equip all four moves. This gives players a chance to experience Augmented Iso-8 early on, while still creating a powerful incentive to reach max level. See the next image for an example of a Level 9 hero’s Iso-8 tab. As you will notice, it says “0/1 EQUIPPED”. For a Level 14 hero this will say “0/4 EQUIPPED”.

Generic Augmented Iso-8 will be available from deploys across Season 2 and in the store along with a selection of premium Augmented Iso-8. Hero-specific Augmented Iso-8 is dropped from boss battles where the hero is a cameo.

For Chapter 4, the following heroes have Augmented Iso-8:

Union Jack
Red Hulk
Valkyrie
Angel / Archangel
Thundra
Black Panther
Spider-Man
Thor

While the initial offering of Augmented Iso-8 is limited, each new chapter will add more. We also plan to go back to previous chapters of Season 2 and add Augmented Iso-8 to the boss roulettes for the cameo heroes. This will be in a future patch after the release of Chapter 4.

For heroes that have multiple actions per action slot, an Augmented Iso-8 will affect every action in that spot, assuming that all the moves satisfy the requirements for the equipped Augmented Iso-8. This includes heroes that change classes like Omega Sentinel and Punisher as well as those with Mulit-Function moves. Certain moves such as Omega Sentinel’s and Punisher’s class change moves cannot have Augmented Iso-8 attached.

The Agent does not gain any Augmented Iso-8 slots. We find this a reasonable compromise as the Agent already has unparalleled opportunity to customize their move set with an enormous selection of gear.

Some of the Empowered Iso-8 we released in the past have had similar effects. When possible, we will be phasing these out and replacing them with Augmented Iso-8. To keep their purposes distinct, we want to make sure that Empowered Iso-8 are used to give new passive effects to heroes while Augmented Iso-8 are used to modify a hero’s moves. Examples of Empowered Iso-8 we plan on changing to Augmented Iso-8 are Black Panther’s Flashing Empowered Iso-8 and Phoenix’s Consuming Empowered Iso-8.

Speaking of Empowered Iso-8, here’s a list of characters that are getting new ones with Chapter 4’s release. We’ve listened to community feedback and gone back to old chapters to add Empowered Iso-8 to Heroic Battles that feature lockbox characters as villains.

Magneto
Emma Frost
Hulk
Sif
Cyclops
Colossus
Storm
Captain Britain
Mockingbird
Sabretooth
Dr. Doom
Moonstone

Check back tomorrow for more exciting updates on Season 2: Chapter 4.

Marvel Avengers Alliance: PvP Season 14 Patch Notes - 2014/02/19

PVP season 14 is live now. Play for the adamantium league and recruit Hogun.

New Update on PVP 14
Unstoppable & Shepherd Tasks Expiring Soon
The Unstoppable and the Shepherd Staff task lines are now set to expire on 3/17. These tasks were launched with previous PVP Seasons and did not properly expire when those seasons ended.

Sunfire Task Expiration
Sunfire’s task expired on 2/13. The required items to complete the Sunfire task have been removed from Chapter 1 Mission 4 and the Season 2 deploys and incursions.

Incursions
Incursions have been updated so it is less likely to face the same opponent if you end up on the losing side. This should also help ensure that failed missions do not play out exactly the same way, unless they are intended to do so.

Combat Engine Action Flow Refactor
We changed the flow of how pre-actions work on counters. This will allow us to make better improvements to existing and future character actions.

Changes to Game BalanceIn Spec Op 16 Mission 3, the fight against Pestilence, Selene, and Dragoness was overly difficult. The following balance changes have been made:

Selene

‘Skia Thanatou’ is getting a 1 round initial cooldown and a 3 round cooldown once the move is used
‘Skia Thanatou’ is now considered a "magic" attack

Pestilence

‘Masque of the Red Death’ now has a 1 round initial cooldown and a 3 round cooldown once the move is used
‘Masque of the Red Death’ no longer a QuickAction
‘At the Mountains of Madness’ now has a 3 round initial cooldown and a 3 round cooldown once the move is used

Bug Fixes on Pvp 14

Iron Fist (Heroic Age Costume)

Combo Breaker should now have a chance to prevent and counter enemies that perform a counterattack or follow-up attack.

Deadpool

No longer removes debuffs when using No Holds Barred against Pestilence.

Rogue

Southern Hospitality should no longer stun.

PVP 14 New Task: “Cryptic Quest”

This task can be started by completing a PVP battle and will be available through 3/17.
