    Gothic...

    Plus, you know...The Stealth Patches are, you know...Stealthy and and things.

    I wonder if there are any posts in this very "General Discussion" forum that might be discussing these very same changes that may or may not have happened icon_e_wink.gif

    We cant confirm or deny them or anything

    Cause you know...we haven't heard anything about them..you know, cause they are stealthy.

    Really would like an update on the inclusion of new characters in the token pool.

    Deadpool
    Captain Marvel
    Beast
    She-Hulk
    Colossus (soon)

    That's five characters we can't get in heroics. Those upcoming season 10 packs are basically worthless.
    I am actually getting a lot of she hulk covers I just got one today, but no deadpool, she marvel, beast nor fury although the rest of my alliance are getting fury's

    Deadpool and Captain Marvel should be in the heroic token already! icon_exclaim.gif but I don't expect beast to be out for another 4-5 week.

    One stealth change is that the AI is definitely a lot harder now. Making moves to block even if it doesn't need that AP just so you don't have it when it could've used another match for it's own AP gain. All this to slow us down and cost us health hoping we will bite on purchasing health packs. I'm not spending a dime on this game, as long as I am self sustainable I will keep playing but the moment I hit 0 spideycoin.png I am done as that is the only way to maintain position in PvP.

    Well supposedly the AI gets some sort of unfair advantage, cheats, and is no longer dumb as a box of rocks. It's still pretty clearly dumb and even if cheating/getting an advantage were true it's the least the moronic AI deserves frankly it's like clubbing baby seals right now.

    Hopefully while they're on a roll with bugfixes they can fix the one where hood continues to drain AP even when he's dead. In the 2nd essential node a few refreshes ago, I had enough for birdstrike, which I'd specially counted the cascade out to get, and then when my turn rolled around again, I didn't. I even double checked that he was dead (he had been for a few turns).

    Quoted for emphasis. Can we get some sort of estimate on when this will get updated. I'm nearing 500 tokens, worth around 75k ISO, and I want to cash them in, but I'd also like to have at least a shot at getting a few useful covers out of it. Of the 11 distinct 3* covers I need right now, only 2 are in tokens.

    What about the last update (polishing up Team-Ups)? Or the one before it (adding Team-Ups)? Technically speaking, I suppose removing Environmental Tiles and adding Team-Ups was a "stealth change" in a manner of speaking, but really, it wasn't, since they told us about it weeks in advance - this is where they changed Boost Drop behavior too, if you really want to get picky, but that barely has any drastic impact on gameplay since the important ones are still where they have always been (i.e. rainbows as progression rewards).

    It's been what, three days? If something was changed, one of the hundred-thousand people playing this game would have noticed, especially our loving forumites. Plenty of people are complaining the AI is harder, but there's always a crop of these "does the AI seem harder to you" threads after an update. I've mentioned this in another thread, where I agree that the AI seems to be more conscience of banking AP (using the "best" moves/waiting until the best time to use a move) and making matches (mainly, actually making 5-matches), but I've also seen IceIX mention that they (like any other game company does) tweak these things constantly in the effort to create a balanced and fun experience.

    I check my heroic tokens every two days or so just in case it was stealth changed and they never said anything. I know it's foolish, but it's been so freaking long you'd think they'd have come up with something by now.

    David, when can we expect to see this r61 patch hit?

    Out of curiosity, do you have a general ballpark idea when the devs are doing another round of character balance changes? (The Magneto nerf took a really long time.)

    Any word on timing? Are we looking at between seasons here or during the BP event for his nerf to happen? icon_rolleyes.gif

    I must say that I do find it a trifle disingeneous to refer to something that is obviosuly a bugfix as a nerf.

    I'm so glad they are nerfing the app size. Should have done this years ago, or maybe even upon release. Saves me some quota of my phone's data plan. Should have done this months ago.

    I know this would take a little more work but one of the most requested features which is currently in PC but not in mobile is the ability to see how much of each color you have without having to scroll between every round. It's completely tedious and slows you down a ton. I know it wouldn't be a simple fix but it would be a huge huge improvement to mobile gameplay. It can definitely be done as far as screen real-estate with all the retina/HD mobile devices, not to mention tablet resolution already approaching desktop/laptop resolution. Could we please do this already? - and Landscape mode on tablet?? icon_e_smile.gif

    This would be an absolute great UI improvement if and when it could be implemented

    OBW blue does enhance opponents Collossus' yellow. I think that needs a fix too.

    Wow, some people don't like jokes I see.

    Joke aside, it would still be terrible timing to implement this change during an event where BP is featured.

    Seems to be live on Steam. I just downloaded it.

    It's up on android, too.

    EDITED TO ADD: No token updates, but Dr. Octopus is on the title screen now, so apparently we're getting one soon.
