Is there a way to view the patch notes?
Full notes aren't released. Here are the Cliff's Notes they've released.
New Playable Character:
The wild man of Borneo, Cable enters the fight! Cable uses a combination of futuristic weaponry and mental based powers as well as various tactics abilities. Acquire him from the in-game store or as a drop to play as this futuristic warrior!
Ultimate Powers
Every hero now has an Ultimate Power! Ultimate Powers are extremely powerful attacks that heroes learn upon reaching level 30. After unlocking, you can level these powers up by finding duplicate “hero tokens” from end game bosses.
Basic Guilds
Form a guild with your friends and take down evil together. Guilds will receive their own chat channel, your guild name will be displayed above your heroes’ head and you’ll be able to keep track of all of your guild members through new UI features. Players can purchase the ability to create guilds from War Machine using found credits.
Endgame
Defeating Doctor Doom was only the beginning with new Replayable End Game Missions! Players can receive rare loot by experiencing one or all of three exciting gameplay modes.
Daily Missions – Navigate an instance to defeat a super-villain boss. Daily missions can be completed solo or with a group. Difficulty for these missions will scale with the number of players in your group.
Group Challenges – The goal of group challenges is to navigate an instance and close three “Energy Rifts,” then defeat the super-villain boss occupying that instance. Each group challenge is designed for a group of five player; these challenges will be extremely difficult to solo.
Survival Challenges – The goal of a survival challenge is to overcome waves of enemies that culminate in a super-villain boss. Each wave lasts a set amount of time and, at the end of that time, all remaining enemies vanish. Shortly afterward, the next wave begins and more enemies will appear. The final wave is a boss which has no time limit.
Doop!
Doop will now randomly appear throughout the game! If you spot this otherworldly creature, make sure to attack him quickly to find out what your reward will be.
Tabbed Stash
Your Stash now has three different sections for all of your loot. General items can be stored in your general Stash section, Hero specific items can be stored in the section associated with your hero, and crafting items can be stored in the crafting section.
