UI
    - Fixed an issue where the progress towards the next reward would not display when gaining the previous reward with enough points to go towards the next reward. - Fixed an issue where Events could disappear without showing their results for a time after they complete.

Character
    Nick Fury (Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.) - Demolition: Now correctly deals damage for any trap tiles destroyed via matching when they explode.

Edit:
We are aware of a change to Storm (Modern)'s Mistress of the Elements ability having taken place in this build. This change was unintended and will be rolled back.

    How about fixing the issues where

    -Ares Sunder countdown tile STILL persists when he dies as a result of using the ability
    -Dormammu's Aid gives AP to enemies when Hood is on your team, not theirs
    -Enemies gain AP without the help of NPCs
    -Enemy OBW gains more AP than she should
    -Red white and blue rocket pops don't taste as sweet as they did when I was a kid

    If you're still here - any comment on the graying out of events/nodes for some people as reported on these forums (in various threads and multiple events, so it would be hard to have missed it)? Even just a "looking into it" or "working as intended" would be helpful. Thanks!

    I'm working on that for the next patch by myself (not a dev). Dammit, Ghast! I'm a scientist, not a game developer!

    Not working as intended, as previous Events haven't had this sort of issue for long while. Definitely something we're looking into.

    It was a simple case of a mis-fix. Fixed on our QA servers but somehow not part of the Client Patch part of it for R55. I'll double check, but I'm pretty sure it's actually bundled correctly this time. I simply don't have it as part of the notes because I'd rather not promise something be re-fixed and have that not be the case.

    Continuing to look into any and all cheat reports, as well as doing our own maintenance and such behind the scenes regarding them. I can't share the exact methods, but we don't like cheaters in the game. And before someone brings up pay-to-be-ignored style cheating (pay money then cheat so that it doesn't trip alarms), that's regardless of whether they've spent $0 or $100K. If you cheat and spend money, you'll still get smacked with the banhammer.

    Edited as I let my anger at IceIX and the dev team overwhelm me and caused me to be an ****...

    Where is Maury Povich when you need him? The lie detector has proven that the comments made by ICEIX are a LIE... I will give him 10,000 if he can prove to me without a doubt members of the x-men did not cheat their way to 2000 points..2000 points in a PvP is impossible without cheating...Period...

    That is harsh. I think it is more likely that they just don't tell him everything so he can have plausible deniability.

    Far more the case. None of us have access to the entire tool set for moderation or looking into people's accounts. I'm not trained to sniff out cheaters that are doing more than the obvious stuff. I simply don't have the time to train up on it and do everything else that I do in a day. There are people who are however, and I pass that information I have on to them.

    So then what happened to jimbojim23? Was he proved as cheater -- leaving to cheat for months? Or it was a mistake but there is no going back from sandbox even in such case?

    Why it took like a month to boot watercat and some other reports you got by hundreds?

    Honestly, from this side the "don't like" part is not really showing.

    So what are all the inevitable stealth changes coming along with this patch?

    I'm aware character balances don't need to come with client updates and this one seems a little lackluster but hopefully there's more to come. I'd be extremely ecstatic if there are multiple balance tweaks to the game other than just CMags and others on the chopping block. Though that feels like it won't probably happen.

    On a side note.

    I feel like your sig. should include
    "I want to believe."

    Also guys, don't hate on ice, he's trying. But he's just one guy... left to wolves.

    Not working as intended, as previous Events haven't had this sort of issue for long while. Definitely something we're looking into.
    Hopefully the change to make it working as intended won't be to remove the ability to go back into the event by raising your MMR in shield, so that locking out becomes permanent.

    Also, can you guys please hire a full time PR person?
    You need one, desperately.
