R57 Discussion (Pending)

Unknown

R57 is nearly upon us! Our S.H.I.E.L.D. technician is chained to his desk making sure that everything is working as intended between Hearthstone matches. Feel free to comment! Trust me, we're listening.

Gameplay

-

ISO Inflation! Agents, your in-game currency is decreasing in value as the global supply has mysteriously increased by 50 percent! Black Widow has infiltrated Oscorp and stolen new technology that just might turn the tide in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s favor. Skipping now costs 100 ISO.
-Unstable Molecules! These amazing isotopes dynamically increase character leveling costs 20 percent every financial quarter
-ISO Eaters! Annihilus has escaped the Negative Zone with his hoard of ISO-hungry antagonists. Your ISO stockpile will now slowly drain like the sands of time tumbling from an hourglass. Can your heroes reclaim enough in the field to combat this inscrutable scourge?
-Paid Leave! Due to new federal regulations, your most-used heroes now receive 48 hours of vacation for every 50 matches they play! Nick Fury has approved 2,500 ISO per diem to be deducted directly from your stockpile.
-Decompression! - Ability animations now last twice as long.
-Electro Unleashed! The sinister scofflaw has escaped The Raft and he's surging with rage! Winning matches now physically shocks you.

UI

-

Tip Jar - Generating Customer Service tickets now automatically deducts 25 HP from your stockpile.
-Fixed a bug where tablet and smartphone users could see their opponent's AP levels by swiping right on their touchscreens
-Fixed an issue where users could lower the brightness of their screens while playing in a dimly lit room.

Character

-

Black Widow (Original) - Crack Shot! Black Widow now expertly snipes critical tiles in mid-air!
-The Hood - The dark lord is undying! Dormammu's Aid now continues to steal AP for your opponents even after Parker is downed!
-Ares - From the heart of Hades he strikes! Sunder's countdown tile no longer disappears if Ares downs himself while casting the ability!

More to come as changes roll off of our real test servers that totally exist.

If you are all pissed off and wanna make fun of them, sure, go ahead. At least don't title it like an actual update.

Yeah, if one of the mods can add a "not-serious" or "joke" tag to the title, that'd be nice.

Done

You forgot to include the part that the old effects failed to properly induce seizures more than 50% of the time so got improved to use more 100% black and white sections and the frequency is also tuned to keep your eye muscles working harder.

The other requested screen effects (including fog, blur, random flips, shake) are still in the pipeline and must wait for R58, we ask for more patience.

In fairness, his note about the Sunder bugfix is more accurate than the actual updates on it.

Nah, That would clearly be a stealth change

LOL great post.

I also found it ironic that Mr. Albert Reed said in his blog that his goto game is Hearthstone. I wonder why he doesn't play this one?

Keep up the great posts...and if the others can't find some humor in this world, well.... that's just sad.

I throughly enjoyed this post.

That post is absolutely hilarious.

I only just realised that I can't remember the last time I saw the "Latest News" notification popup.

Should I be raising a CS request about this bug?

I thought D3P ninja changed the "Latest News" to a premium service? To have the "Latest News" pop up you'll have to subscribe by paying 50HP per popup, otherwise you can't see it anymore.

And here I just thought the countdown to new events that starts ~24 hours in advance was what replaced the "Latest News" popup. As for PvP everyone knows what's coming based on rewards of the current PvP anyway. They haven't strayed from reward->featured in several weeks at least.

You forgot something :

in R57, Nick Fury is useful for the ones who spent at the very least $100 on him (because they only paid for the HP).

You're probably more pissed than he is considering your answer. I wouldn't be surprised though.

MPQ is so funny lately how can you take the whole thing seriously ?

We are collecting characters, they pile up bad decisions

I'm really looking forward to the next announcement.

Oh ! I'm so stupid, there are no announcements anymore !

Let's go back to this thrilling IM40 pvp and all brand new and exclusive The Hunt PvE
