Will getting rid of useless Moonstone TUs affect our smartphones? Control Shift Delete gets rid of the browser history on my PC...

AI has hit me with She-Hulk TUs; haven't received one to use yet though...

I don't know if I am the only one but I can't be bothered to always put a teamup in when climbing. Can the selected Team-Ups stay for as long as you don't use them? If you switch a character in that's in your team-ups, then it should unselect but as long as you have your original team and haven't used the teamups, they should just stay there for all future matches.

Please don't reset the Team-Ups after every Match.

A very big +1. I am almost at a point where I don't bother about the TU because I have to select them each and every match.

I have only one thing to say:

WHY isn´t all of this implemented YET ???

rednailz

Looking forward to fixes on enemy team ups. Nearly every day last week CPU will hit me with 2 world ruptures in 1 match, sometimes that happens to me 2 - 3 times a day...cmon

GuntherBlobel

Looking forward the update! But I would also really like the TUs to be remembered, or at least randomly chosen for empty slots. Choosing TUs every match is a major pain point.

Any chance we will see the heroic tokens updated to include She-Hulk, Marvel and Deadpool?

Most likely she hulk and marvel will be added within a month, Deadpool still seems to soon. I'm glad the Quality Control guy came back from vacation.

If you're not taking another few week break IceIX, can you reexamine what you did here?:

An appeal? Probably not. They specifically mentioned this post as a reason to remove me as a mod.

IceIX tells me he's made some changes that should cut down on spam:

Users are Newly Registered until 5 posts
Newly Registered Users no longer have access to homepages or signatures
Newly Registered Users cannot post new threads anywhere but in Suggestions or Bugs (since that's where the majority of the legitimate single thread requests come in)
They can't use BBCode or parse any code, so no html links. They can still post the link, it'll just be text.

Which, to be fair, only really raises the bar on the arms race but doesn't solve the root concern.

Once they figure out the new status quo, you'll probably start seeing more random "Is that English? What are they saying" semi-gibberish posts across multiple threads to hit the magic 5 posts, THEN the real spam from the same ones. The root problem lies in a method by which to get and keep the sweat shop paid spammers out that doesn't also keep out the legitimate users that happen to be using the same ISPs or email services that they use.

It seems like spam accounts (with under 5 posts) are still able to post links and in non-suggestion/bug forums

i'm so freaking glad they're getting rid of the sentry team ups, i've had more than a dozen matches where i'm about to hit a critical match for a good ability and then suddenly they throw out Supernova when leads into a cascade and suddenly the character with the ability is dead and i'm down to less than half health.

Fury (Helicarrier)

If Fury having the helicarrier qualifies him for the flight level timer then I purpose a couple additions to the list of flyers:

Wolverine, except Patch (Blackbird) IW (Fantasticar) Hawkeye x2(Quinjet) Black Widow, modern (Quinjet) Spider-Man, bagman (Fantasticar) Dr. Doom

Have you guys attempted to make ANY progress on showing who owns what goon CD tile?

Woah, that looks like it might be a good idea.

I can't believe people have such a hard time connecting points. Read the first three points in succession.

You send an alliance mate a team-up. (ex. Call The Storm)
The character you sent to team up with someone else is now unavailable to you because you sent him away. (Lazy Thor)
The character returns after a period of time, because it's taken him time to go help out the other team.
You can pay HP to use some magical teleportation device to bring Lazy Thor back sooner than it takes him to hammer-helicopter around the world.

Exactly how I read it and tried to explain earlier, makes complete sense i think.

No 3rd color for 2* Daken anymore?

Unknown

But the slight nerf to 3* Daken isn't mentioned either.

Apart from the On Patrol thing (where I'll just wait to find out how it works), I really like that update! While the concept of TU is fun at least in theory, the AI's constant World Ruptures (I got those All. The. Time. ) were really bothersome, as was the fact that they would throw as many as 3 (in one match I counted 4!!! ) at you and there was no way to prepare for them (like deny this or that colour, attack one character first, stun someone etc), so all tactics were rendered useless. Seems like the game will be more fun now, to me.

Good call. In that case Fury should probably go to full-time, because while I'm sure players would love for the above you added to have shorter time, I don't think the Devs would go for having so few characters be subjected to full patrol time (not that they'll implement this anyway)

I'll switch him out.

If any of my alliance mates want some low level Murderous Aim or Lethal Recon, I've got a ton from the last event. They're all yours.

Srsly, seems like an update trying to compensate for a step in the wrong direction by taking more steps in that direction. Get rid of team ups. Problems solved.

Short of that, I would hope there's a catch or penalty to deleting TU covers. Otherwise, I'm seeing a situation where every team we face in PvP has cultivated their TU roster and it's going to be all maxed Fury or Sentry or Black Panther TU covers. It'll be low level 1* and 2* honeypot teams in PvP with Sentry, Panther, or Fury hiding behind them. That would suck about as much as the current situation.

I also don't really envision asking or lending TU covers, or even understand what this feature is trying to achieve. There's no real strategy to TU. At least, not enough to bother asking around for some specific TU cover. We can't see what TU cover the enemy is bringing to the match and I'm already perfectly able to fight the opponent I can see using my core team. Matches rarely last long enough to use TU. On the rare occasion I am able to collect enough TU AP, the match is practically over anyway and seems pointless to waste a good TU.

The only reason I use team ups is to get rid of team ups...and you monsters are taking that away from me.

Spoit

Uh...defensive TUs are random. And the patchnotes say there's only going to be one of them

OnesOwnGrief

That moment when you get blown up by Black Panther Team Ups instead...

Aww and I thought they'd add the ability for TU stacking.
