Edit: Lots of goodies coming in May, Psychic Ninja (and OBVIOUS new main) included.
Holy shit!
We've completed the tech to automate events like Odin's Bounty. This will open up some amazing things we can do. Imagine a world boss challenge every 30 minutes throughout the day, with a special unique item dropping from each one.
I really wanted to buy her chase costume a couple weeks back but there just seemed something morally wrong with paying over $10 for a digital outfit
Come on Gaz. Why is Test Center not up yet? I want to try out Invisible Woman before buying/preordering her bundle.
Is she out Thursday?
I think she's supposed to be released with the patch this Friday.
Don't they usually have heroes on TC at least a week before releasing for testing purposes?
Excluding surprise heroes of course.
In Development
We are working on the following things, to be released in the coming weeks and months.
Mac alpha testing is underway. Closed beta will begin once we need more testers.
We're finishing up our matchmaking algorithm for PVP. This means any PVP matches that result in uneven teams will have compensatory buffs to try and even up the teams. This may also be used for "leavers" in PVP and X-Defense.
We're in the alpha testing stage for raid zones. They look beautiful and intimidating. They should launch alongside our completely 100% free game expansion in June.

The animation team has completed work on Psylocke and she is working her way through to the VFX and SFX pipeline. She will likely launch in late May. It's hard not to love a psychic ninja with a cool outfit.
We're working on additional crafting quality of life improvements and crafting recipes.
More runeword recipes, including a Runeword themed week in the near future.

Trading back end is completed. Next step is to finish the front end of the system in May. Pretty excited for that.
Our alternate advancement inspired system is in development, with the back-end completed. Additional UI and design should have it launch in the second half of May.
We have some shared daily quests coming and a veteran reward feature rolling with the next big patch.
Achievement back-end work is 50% done. It looks like it will be ready in June.
The Wakandan Mine One-Shot Story chapter will be ready in less than 3 weeks
Wow. They're really impressive. I don't think I've been this invested in a game since WoW back in the day.
I also loved how I could basically turn it into my Winter Soldier movie tie-in game by getting the costume and Falcon.

Great costume, would buy it but I still think the cape is too wide/weird.
I think I'm gonna try out my level 1 Scarlet Witch later tonight. I've generally heard she's pretty good, is that still accurate? Also, as I don't have any high level chars, would I be best off just playing through the chapters entirely due many quests giving specific rewards, or use some form of faster/powerleveling and just go back to do those later?
Yeah, she is still good. I have her as my main. Scarlet Witch is pretty powerful and bewildering hex can be somewhat OP, but she is also fragile. But you can probably offset that with Ravenous Binding.
Well, if you're already familiar with the map layouts, you could probably do both. Scarlet Witch starts with a teleport, so zipping your way to quest rewards should be quick. Whenever you feel underleveled for the story because of bypassing everything, you can always jump into something else to powerlevel.
I don't read much MK in comics, but isn't that mostly how he's drawn?
RIP my Life Leech cores. I had like 15 of them too =/
They are Life on Hit cores now (300-400~ life per hit) in the TC.
Nope, they are changing them retroactively. Even the ones already crafted into costumes.
