Base Level Attack Bug (8/19)

Hi Everyone

We are aware of an issue where opponent attacks are being used at their base level values. Furthermore, if you have a forced teammate on your team, their attacks will also be used at their base level.

At this point, this does seem to be affecting all players. We are looking into this and will provide more information as soon as we have it.

Thank you,
MPQ Team

    Thank you for the update. I noticed this yesterday and posted a couple screen shots because I had no idea what was going on.

    And to the ones that say it only affects 2* characters, the screen shots were of Hulk, a 3*. I also noticed this bug with Big Thor, Steve Rogers, and Punisher. I have not really checked any 1*s, so i dont know if it affects them or not. While it means easy wins, it also means defensive losses.

    Either way, again thank you for keeping the players updated on the situation. icon_e_wink.gif

  • Make this a sticky post would be nice.
    To bad we dont have enough competent mod around to do that anymore.

    The other mods are competent, but they don't visit the site as often as I do. Riggy just had twins. Priorities.

    That is why i said "not enough".
  • Bump. It's not 8/20 and this (MASSIVELY GAMEBREAKING) bug hasn't been fixed.

    You could leave the bug in the PVE right now. I'm not longer worried when I see devor from lvl 134 venom...it's nice that he only does about 300 in damage! hahaha...but hope you do fix it soon. It's not good having bugs in your game! Good luck!
  • Hey. Nice tinykittying game! *honk* *honk*

    I love how there's a huge bug that affects gameplay and every single player, but this thread only has 7 replies because it's in the players' favor. If it were not in the players' favor, there'd be 700 replies.

    EDIT: And 3 of those replies are about mods.
  • Yeah, a lot of defensive teams are useless now.

    And this bug affects Team Ups as well btw.
  • I've been getting this from some, but not all enemy heroes.

    Specifically whenever i'm facing an Ares in the current PvE he hits like a little girl.

    I was wondering what had happened. Enemy Thor (lv.94) used Call the Storm and did something like 150 damage.

    Just wait until scaling in brotherhood gets insane much earlier than usual due to all the people clearing nodes they shouldn't have a chance at. Then there might be a little more outrage here.

    I'm enjoying the game much more with this bug.

    I got it stickied, but it would also be nice to see them get stickied when they're posted. Baby steps. First we got Lakestone to stop posting in all caps. Next will be learning to use the sticky checkbox when posting. =)

    Also, my twins are 2 months old now. I'm back to getting sleep in up to 5 hour chunks on some nights.

    I just quit the game and relaunched (not due to the bug). I was seeing tiny damage from AI heroes in nefarious foes but now I see full damage. Is this issue fixed for all players or am I just the lucky one no longer enjoying its benefits.
  • Same here. Might be fixed.
    Heh. A bug that really didn't bother me much, especially in PvE. icon_mrgreen.gif

    You might think so but the bug is silently screwing everyone without anyone realising they are getting screw.

    This bug is giving people the impression that pve is a lot easier allowing them to grind a lot more and in effect driving up scalling like crazy.

    Every one finding it easy, every one grinding like mad and when they finally fix the bug, you end up with an unplayable event that will still go on for 3-4 more days with Nick Fury as the top reward.
  • It's kind of funny that Daken and Ares are the weakest DA villians to face due to this bug (they both do just damage, which is nothing now) instead of the strongest.

    I'm still seeing the bug, and I' ok with it ... until they fix it on the last day of PvE and mess everybody up.

    I was all set to post what I am seeing but then figured that is what they have QA for. They didn't properly test it, it is helping the players at the moment so I'm in no hurry to get it fixed.
  • Fighting a full strength level 188 Ares right now, so that part is fixed.

    My Wind Storm team up is still base level though. Come on - fix it for BOTH sides please!

    Edit: Hmm, looks like Ares is only fixed in PVP.
