You didn't lose so much as somehow fail to win.

Yep, since the same screen comes up on Retreat, which isn't necessarily a loss.

We'll get around to other characters eventually if necessary for that character. As it was, we implemented a skill that turned out to be a total dud. We'd rather fix something that's in the game first before getting more new stuff in to sit alongside something less shiny that's already there.

I can understand that. And as I said, I know I was being harsh -- Loki had just been changed, and you don't want to change too much at once for so very many reasons.

But, along that same line, the 4*'s ? Their tile match damage isn't even decent, as I point out in this thread -- viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1036

And I'm not saying this for my own benefit; I do have both Wolverine X-Force and Invisible Woman, but both only have 2 covers and I haven't invested anything in them (nor will I). It's just that from a design perspective the 4*'s make no sense. And it's sad that the worst cards (from a cost and difficulty perspective) are supposedly the best. I'd actually hate to see Hulk as a 4* right now.

But enough on that, it doesn't have anything to do with the topic. I'm looking forward to getting home, downloading the patch, and seeing Spidey's new powers for myself.

Is the patch live for iOS? I'm not seeing it on my device but my signal is pretty spotty, so maybe that's why.

Where is respecify button... ?

+1
Or don't change skill completely. Small changes/upgrades are ok. Whole new skill on the other hand...

IceIX, how are Spidey's protect tiles compared to Bullseye's, and more importantly, Cap's? These sound like they'll be very strong.

Spidey should really, really not have better protect tiles than Cap. Cap should have the best protect tiles in the game at present...otherwise, Cap becomes an even bigger loser.

Just tested it, quick

Lvl 141 Spiderman
Lvl 3 purple

With no web tiles - 55 Damage

With 4 Web Tiles 278
With 7 Web Tiles 371

Holy tinykitty.

It maxes out at 371. Just had 13 web tiles on the board and it still was 371

Yeah, makes me even more sad that I didn't manage to get a single one of the purple spidey covers during red iso

Hey Ice,

Any update on the status of FB rewards not being doled out? Thought it was going to be addressed in R43

Thanks

Unknown

Suddenly feeling a whole lot better at having 4 purple on my spidey!!!

Makes me a whole lot happier I got 3/3
o.O. thought it was just garbage for leveling and was sad. not anymore!

Who the heck wants to fight super bullseye spidey? Super bullseye spidey, deathneto, *agnarok, and maybe doom should all be 4**** and the current 4**** should be only 3***

now the question is who's a great 3rd teammate to the spidey/ragnarok train...i think i'm gonna go unconventional and go with classic magneto.

Unknown

This is question due to a comment on the play store...but did recharge times on characters increase? Play store reviews are always suspect...but before I download if someone who downloaded could tell me that would be great.

EDIT: As for mags as a third...I would say yes. You lose out on black (weak anyway) and cannot attack with yellow but purple will be a huge attack/def color for you getting mags purple and getting spidey tiles. Blue can be built by magneto to turn 5 blue into 6+ for even more web slinging. Rag meat and bones with his red as pure damage and cheap. I think someone other than rag would combo better but I've always liked spidey/magneto. Now its even better.

You've seen my team, right? I'm pretty happy with it. Ragnarok red to green to sniper rifle is very effective.

Magnus seems like a very strong and interesting character who I intend to develop eventually, but his need for blue seems like it will clash with Spidey. I've found Iron Man Model 40's yellow to clash pretty hard with Spidey's yellow, for instance.

Unknown

i have a decent leveled grey widow, but for defense, she just seems terrible, mag will have the health advantage of the 5 blue won't clash with spidey stun spam...hopefully. will see, for now, probably grey widow til i get mr magnus up.

plus, you'll be matching purples randomly to throw out defense tiles which will help him get his major dmg spell up.

Unknown

Now...do spidey/mag tiles stack on eachother? Mag blue for offense is usually the way to go but in a pinch it plus web tiles would be able to block upwards of 400 damage. Nobody is hitting you above a 1 beyond good cascades and powers...

Didn't make any changes to recharge times, so I'm not sure what they'd be referencing.

I don't think even cascades would do much, since each match is blocked individually.

Okay cool. Maybe they had just leveled thier characters and just noticed? You guys have been good about putting up most of the update material, even when its not necessarily what players would like to hear. Thanks for the quick response.

And yea...I already avoided ppl with spidey in case they had Lvl 5 blue. Now ill REALLY have to avoid them. Been meaning to ask..do def tiles not affect direct damage powers? I could just check..but I am sure somebody already knows.

What exactly are episodes 2 and 2.5? I don't see any new content after downloading R43. Are they active? Do I need to clear all the prologue missions to get to them?
