Edit: I just stickied this for the weekend so that those that like to pick through for dev tidbits will have an easier time given that this turned into a bit of Q&A.

    You'll find out soon. I'll say this though. X-Force is now as much a monster as Fury is. Don't let him heal. But don't let him not heal.

    There's a reason we've got him as the Season reward. icon_e_smile.gif

    I'm both intrigued and terrified

    EDIT: Total shot in the dark, but by don't let him heal/not heal, does it mean that his CD heals for more, but if it gets matched away it does heavy damage to opponent? That'd be a cool concept. As long as it's not still a 7-turn CD of course icon_e_smile.gif

    Well, I'll be around for a bit tonight. And I'm finally done with a pile of other stuff, so you'll see me around more for the time coming up.

    Also, the new CM should be coming online in the somewhat near future, so there'll be more regular communication than what I can spare.

    Wonderful.

    Welcome back Ice.
  • Glad to "see" you, IceIX!

    I guess I'll start with the potentially obvious question. Are all of the buffs/nerfs for the characters you just pictured going to occur at the same time or will they be spread out?

    Currently planned for the same time. You all already know about the Daken part of it, those are the ones we pulled earlier.

    You see people, you just gotta believe! And be very patient...

    Thanks for the update!
  • Any idea when the backlog will be added to tokens? It's up to four characters now.
  • Will we finally see an X-Force pvp event?!?

    my guess is that they'll rerun the best of the best event where you can choose from Wolverine 2, 3 or 4 star

    I know Fury is getting added very soon, so that's one less. Not so sure on the rest. The reason it's backed up is that we're trying to work out a way to get more characters in without pulling a Disney Vault thing where we have to remove characters to add more so that the odds stay somewhat reasonable. It could happen that Vaulting is what we go with, but we don't want to add now then have to do a mass remove later if something like that is the solution.
  • Can you not nerf the **** out of CMags.
  • I do feel that IW is due a buff too. Perhaps a power that helps to freeze special tiles such as countdown, strike etc? Just a thought cos that would tie in nicely with her powers in comics.

    Thanks iceEX. If X-force is the beast you are saying then PVP is going to be death brackets big time.

    ice can you let us know when the next new character is going to be released? We are still waiting for the X-men starting with a B.

    That was going to be one of my next questions to ask, With Fury and X-Force possessing true 4**** power, IW seems to be rather subpowered for 4**** character. I wonder if she will receive another balancing pass in the future?

    Beast is the reward for the Heroic PvE that starts tomorrow
