Patch Notes Discussion - R62 (Live, 10/10/14)

David [Hi-Fi] Moore

Thunder rumbles in the distance as a mighty roar is heard...

Hey all - R62 is now live!

You've heard about Thor: Goddess of Thunder and Devil Dinosaur's imminent arrivals - now, here's more to sink your teeth into!

Requested updates to Team-Ups

• You can now decline a Team-Up after a battle. • Changed the art for the Discard Team-Up button. • There’s a new Team-Up AP Boost, and Team-Up Tile Damage Boost. • Team-Up AP is now included in the All AP Boost. • Team-Ups have an info button in the corner that shows their cost and effects.

Character Updates

• Colossus's Airborne now correctly shows the amount of time remaining for a teammate. • Colossus's

Immovable Object no longer activates while he is Stunned.
• Colossus no longer guards or takes reduced damage when the Countdown tile from Immovable Object is Locked.
• Moonstone's Gravity Warp now affects Invisibility tiles.
• Hawkeye (Modern)'s Electric Arrow and She-Hulk's Reprieve can now affect the enemy's Team-Up AP.

UI, Tweaks and Bugfixes

• Streamlined the launch to get you into the game faster. • New FAQ to help answer your questions. You can find it by tapping the Settings icon on the Chapter select screen, then tapping the “?” icon. • Credits, feedback and version number have also been moved into Settings. • Events now correctly show their complete time remaining. • Boosts may now drop after missions. Team-Ups drop less frequently. • "FIGHT" button now correctly appears when a required character for a mission returns from being away. • Fixed a bug that allowed stunned characters to move the board if they had fired an ability that indirectly resulted in them getting Stunned. • When a Critical tile is part of multiple simultaneous matches, it now increases the damage of each. • Fixed a crash when a Control Shift Team-Up is used by a 1-person or 2-person team on a Countdown Tile that affects the character that placed it.

PC

• The enemy's Team-Up ability tab is hidden if the enemy team has no Team-Ups. • Fixed a graphical glitch that flashed a bunch of zeroes when returning a character from being away.

Hurray for the buffs to She-Hulk and Hawkeye.
The Team-Up info button is good.
Glad to see boosts coming back in drops.

• Boosts may now drop after missions. Team-Ups drop less frequently.

THANK YOU!

Also, neat little tweak on critical tiles boosting damage of all matches they're involved in instead of just one. That's the sort of thing that should slightly favor the human side of a fight since we can seek multiple matches out. Although cascades are going to get more painful now...

we desperately need a feature where when there is a new team up and our slots are maxed at 20+ we have the ability to delete one. Often the slots fill up quick and we head into a Lvl 200+ fight wishing we had deleted a worthless TU and open a spot up. Cant say how many times it happened, very frustrating.

the new characters, like deadpool , captain marvel , will be added on this patch?

My sentiments exactly. This is the ONE thing that jumped out at me.

With this new update, it looks like you can just run battles at 19/20 total Team Ups instead of 20/20 and just keep declining to keep that last spot open until you get the Team Up you are looking for...

not ideal, as I like your idea better, but it's at least Something instead of having no options at all....

• Hawkeye (Modern)'s Electric Arrow and She-Hulk's Reprieve can now affect the enemy's Team-Up AP. (What about OBW, Hood, and other AP steelers?)

• Boosts may now drop after missions. Team-Ups drop less frequently. (Woot)

Actually, they are more like nerfs since destroying TUAP is useless if the AI has already used their 1 Teamup. It's only better than before if you are specifically trying to avoid their assigned teamup before it happens. Not a major change, but overall a nerf nonetheless.

I was hoping for a character balance pass, guess I'll keep waiting. Maybe r63.

CrookedKnight

Yeah, I'd much rather have that change apply to powers that steal AP instead of just those that decrease it to zero, because if the enemy team has already used their team-up, draining TUAP to zero does nothing but stealing it still fuels my own.

I hope the artwork for the phone UI takes up like a quarter of the team up tile. That stupid little button is hard to press.

Team-Up AP is actually ALREADY in the All AP Boost, so... dunno what you did there. Similarly it's already reduced by IM40's abilities. It's being treated like a big boy color. Now if only we could steal it with OBW and others.

Spoit

No steal for hood and OBW though? Eh, that's probably for the better during pves anyway.

Also yay for the multi-match thing which was long overdue. The second match still has the 25% reduction for being a combo though, right?

MarvelMan

Whoa. Dont see a single thing I dont like in this one! Way-to-go!

Can you guys fix the bug that crash the game after selling over 85 covers?

We made a fix to that back in R60 and haven't seen any reports of it after that. If you're still getting that issue, can you please put in a ticket so we can track it more easily?

You can now decline a Team-Up after a battle.

Can this be done AFTER you raise your shields?
Otherwise, I am going to be filling up team ups to 20 just for those precious seconds, you will lose trying to hit our shields to avoid being asked the question..

If we are getting Dino now, that means we can get his TU. What about his old ones?

If, (i hope this don't happen), Dino's green ability gets changed, (less damage or something) what happens to his old TU that I have saved? Do they stay the same, or change to match his current power levels? If they do change, I guess i should use 'em while I got 'em, huh?

Devil Dino (Classic) and Devil Dino (Gigantic Reptile) are two "different" characters in-engine, much like the three different Black Widows. So changes to the one that cameos in The Hunt won't change the newly playable one unless we manually go in and make it so.

IReallyHatePVP

Boost drops are back, so is it like, after a fight you get a TU or a random boost? Or is it all entirely random?

Unknown

Thanks for the boosts. I missed them.
