Project TAHITI outlines buff-focused hero balancing for October update
The volunteer team behind the Marvel Heroes rogue server Project TAHITI has discussed its next update, scheduled for October 21. The patch will focus on raising weaker heroes to a new internal standard rather than nerfing stronger ones. The developers also showed internal DPS data and previewed reworks for Hulk and Taskmaster, though the DPS meter will remain private.
Project TAHITI, a fan-run revival of the discontinued Marvel Heroes, launched in March. Its volunteer crew now plans an October 21 patch. Rather than trimming top performers, the team intends to lift weaker heroes toward a fresh internal benchmark. This approach is meant to support future content while preserving the idea that any hero can clear the game's challenges.
The developers shared an internal damage log to guide changes and offered early looks at planned Hulk and Taskmaster changes. They will not release the damage meter publicly. More details may appear in the server's Discord before the update, alongside screenshots already shown.
This update may matter most to players who still follow Marvel Heroes through a fan-operated server. Buff-focused tuning could make more heroes viable, potentially improving group play and accessibility for casual users. Keeping the DPS meter private may reduce pressure or toxicity, though it could also limit transparency. The effort may also highlight how volunteer projects sustain niche online games after official shutdowns.
