Bio – This alternate Ultimate Spider-Man is Miles Morales. He was also bitten by a radioactive spider which gave him abilities similar to our own Spider-Man. Miles initially refused to become a Super Hero, wishing to live a normal life, but after he witnessed the death of his predecessor, he decided to use his abilities to help others and live to the very mantra that it seems most Spiders live by, that with great power comes great responsibility.

Marvel Avengers Alliance: Forum Patch Notes 2015/14/5

General Improvements
The MAA team continues to improve the game based on your feedback to keep it fun and balanced for all players.

Changes to Quick Actions
Quick Actions can only be performed once per round. Once a Quick Action has been performed, a new affliction will be applied to the character called Stalled, which will lock out any Quick Actions on that character, preventing them from being performed. While Exhausted, Quick Actions will become Normal Actions and function just the same as any action or ability without the Quick Action or Free Action Special Property.

Introducing Free Actions
Free Actions are a new Special Property that will grant an extra turn after using the applied action. Any number of Free Actions can be performed in a single round, cooldowns permitting. Using a Free Action does not lock out any other abilities. While Exhausted, Free Actions will become Quick Actions and function just the same as an action with the Quick Action Special Property.

Converted Into Free Actions

Marvel Avengers Alliance: Special Operation 26 Patch Note

A sudden rise in global terrorist attacks by U.L.T.I.M.A.T.U.M. has been effective at keeping S.H.I.E.L.D. busy...perhaps a little too busy. What started as a series of seemingly random attacks now feels like a systematic exploration of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s responses, like pawns testing an opponent's defenses. It's time for the Avengers to assemble, as a familiar foe makes his calculated rise to power, threatening the world.

Marvel Avengers Alliance: Upcoming PVP Improvements

The MAA team continues to improve PVP based on your feedback to make it more competitive and fair for all players. We are happy to announce the following upcoming improvements to PVP.

Quick Actions and Free Actions Special Properties
While we know that many people enjoy chaining quick actions together for extra turns, we understand that this slows fights down considerably and makes some fights uneven. As such, one of the changes we are making to Quick Actions is to only allow one Quick Action per round for each character.

This change does affect many actions in the game, and as such we are also introducing Free Actions. Free Actions may be performed multiple times each round. There will be no restrictions to how many times a Free Action can be used except for cooldowns. Actions with the Free Action special property will primarily be applied to actions that deal no damage and only do one beneficial or harmful effect, change a class, or mode of play with a character.

Note that Exhausted and other effects that prevent Extra Turns and remove Quick Actions will also affect Free Actions. While Exhausted, Free Actions will be converted into Quick Actions and will only be permitted to one use per round for each character just like a normal Quick Action.

This change will be released in several stages. The first will introduce the changes to Quick Actions and adding Free Actions to the game. The only moves that will be Free Actions will be those deemed to be a necessary change for how that character works in the game. For example:

• Enchantress’ Charm and Alluring Voice will now be Free Actions
• Class change actions like Omega Sentinel’s Bruiser, Scrapper, and Tactician Protocols
• Mode change actions like Captain Steve Rogers’ Counterintelligence, Offensive Operations, and Ranged Awareness

The second and ongoing phase will be to evaluate all our existing actions to determine which will become Quick or Free Actions. This will mean that some actions that were not a Quick Action before could become a Quick Action or a Free Action. For example:

• She-Hulk’s Burst of Speed will become a Free Action
• Heimdall’s Vigilance will become a Free Action
• Squirrel Girl’s Nuts to This will become a Free Action

A full list will be released in the patch notes.


Character Improvements and Balancing

We have listened to your feedback and will be making some future changes to several characters that will improve the game and promote fair play.

Some of these characters being changed will include:

Level-Capped Tournaments and Matchmaking Improvements

We have been monitoring Level-Capped Tournaments and have heard your feedback. We are aware of issues at lower levels and with
silver and gold league players.

We are working to make PVP fights fun and challenging for all of our players and to improve silver and gold league experiences. Matchmaking is being monitored by our team, and we will continue to make improvements to the PVP system. We will be adjusting the level cap in the near future, possibly as soon as Pre-PVP Season 21.

Any changes will be listed in future patch notes.


Upcoming PVP Rewards

PVP Season 21 Adamantium League will feature the cyborg assassin, Deathlok! Check out his in-game sprite below.

You will begin to see some of these improvements rolling out as soon as Pre-PVP Season 21, and more updates will be released in the near future.

Details

Spec Op 25 Reward Hero: Chase Stein & Old Lace
Bio – Chase Stein was an average high school student who was good at sports and even better at slacking off, much to the chagrin of his genius-level inventor parents. Chase and his friends ran away from home when they found out that their parents were part of a murderous super villain group known as The Pride. While investigating his parent’s workshop, Chase came across many of his parent’s inventions, including a pair of X-Ray Goggles and a set of weaponized Fistigons. A while later, Chase’s girlfriend, Gertrude Yorkes, died in his arms… twice, bestowing upon him her Empathic Link with Old Lace, a genetically engineered dinosaur from the 87th century. They fight crime!
