As you know from our roadmap update, the Spider-Man: With Great Power Hero Event comes to PlayStation players with Patch 2.2 on November 30.

So, what is a Hero Event? How does it differ from an Operation?

The overarching difference is scale, which impacts the way the story is told. The Hero-Event doesn’t come with a story campaign in the way an Operation does. The Spider-Man Hero Event narrative is told through a combination of cutscenes, dialogue, and a chain of documents. There are objectives for his story that unlock these documents as they are completed, which unfolds his narrative arc and gradually reveals his journey in our original Avengers world. As a result, Spider-Man will already be unlocked for existing Missions, rather than having to recruit him as a playable Hero during his story via story missions.

Tachyon Surge – We heard your feedback regarding the change to this perk and wanted to share more information regarding it.

The term “Status Damage” is intended to reference the amount of status build up that an attack would inflict when dealing damage to a target, not the actual amount of damage dealt. Shortly after the Tachyon Surge perk was released, we identified an issue where it was applying a 20-second buff that gave both a 50% bonus to status build up and 50% increased damage. This made it overpowered when compared to things like heroic buffs, skills, and other gear perks so we took steps to fix that error.

We recognize that the existing issue and our solution wasn’t communicated clearly and that many players who spent time grinding to get this gear because of its effects were disappointed in the change and lack of communication surrounding it.

To help alleviate some of this frustration, we are bringing back the damage buff in Patch 2.2 on November 30 but reducing the overall buff duration to 10 seconds. The shorter duration will help reduce the frequency of the buff being active for most of a combat encounter, while still being an extremely strong perk worthy to grind for.

Going forward, we will ensure that any major perk changes are communicated more clearly in our patch notes and blog posts.
