    You forgot, take 2 weeks off during the holidays where new story content AND a new character are both being rolled out

    It just occurred to me that if the devs are as hardcore as the players, then everything would come to a complete standstill during an event like this because everyone who can do anything would be busy grinding for Star-Lord.

    Maybe that's why we never get any response when new characters are out!

    Thanks lazy players for requesting this! Because it was way too hard to just watch what the AI matched and keep track in your head and scroll when necessary. We now have to deal with this nonsense. icon_evil.gif

    It's hard enough trying to clear a sub event (multiple subs!) during work day without tacking minutes onto the process.

    Whoa, don't go being angry at mobile players, like me, who have been requesting for months that we need see the enemy AP every turn without having to swipe to the left. We didn't make this AP notification change. Focus your disdain where it belongs and not the people who have been asking for a something that should be standard.

    "Scroll when necessary" ?! C'mon, being able to see the enemy AP every turn should be the norm, not the other way around.

    Wow, yea. That is UNBEARABLE...every turn??. When can we expect the R71 update, cuz this is making the PvE almost unplayable. Don't y'all test stuff first? If anyone had played that before release it would never have made it out the door...

    This is what I keep wondering. I thought awhile back they said they were going to start running Beta servers? I updated early this morning and immediately put this feedback under R70. When team-ups came out I immediately went into forums and said "how can I get rid of them?".

    I gladly volunteer to go into beta-test early-release updates if you need a little feedback. But seriously: did -anyone- try this out before it was rolled out?

    Thanks for the feedback! We'll be adding a option to the options menu to turn this off in R71.

    Was this AP notification change done in response to mobile users, like me, who have been asking for month that we need to see the enemy AP without having to scroll to the left every turn?

    Whaver the answer is to that question, can D3 finally do something to acknowledge and address this?

    Thank you.

    That's not soon enough for something this bad. The best course of action would be to remove it ASAP, rework it, then release it again with an option to turn it off in R71.

    Yikes, I got a headache doing a goon node with Hood. Made the screen blink 100 times before I got to move again. Not a fan.

    Don't know what the solution is for those that need the updates on AP gain from goons but this isn't it.

    Worst part will be near the end of the event where im rushing through the nodes to get more clears than the people ahead of me and behind me...
    Thank God no one cares about this PVE and the end of the sub events aren't as important.

    Oh wait....


    Looks nice aesthetically at least?

    this needs to be taken out immediately, not on the next scheduled update.

    Yeah, sorry guys but I agree with RWTDBurn. This change impacts gameplay enough that it would be better to remove it as quickly as possible, and then reintroduce it later. Not to mention there HAS to be a way to show mobile players the enemy AP totals without destroying your UI OR requiring swiping. What about tiny colored symbols up across the top with numbers under them?

    Please undo ASAP.

    How bad in practical (non-forum raging) terms is this update, I'm just hitting Skip on the update, any reason NOT to Skip or should I just bite the bullet and do the upgrade. I don't want my clears to be artificially lengthened since this change sounds awful.

    skip the update. hitting that button every few minutes is worth the aggravation of this nonsense.

    Two days ago D3 prejudice all players that are non grinders in pve slice 1 releasing a sub bracket before the time.

    Today ANOTHER crucial change in the middle of heavy tourneys, both pvp and pve.

    I dont know what really say about it. Almost every week a new surprise. Most of them not very good in my opinion. I dont want this update, you must disable it NOW.

    Beta Testers, hello???

    Just keep in mind at some point the option to update will go away and you will be forced to update. Sometimes in the middle of a big PvE push or a shield hop or, if a mobile user, when away from WiFi.

    Those are the chances we take to avoid **** updates.

    I'll just keep MPQ open from here on out, lol, it probably will auto-update at some point, hopefully when I'm sleeping. As a precaution though, I did disable background updates for Apps to see if I can hold out a bit longer and just manually update it later. My main concern is if an update was mandatory to continue in the PVP/PVE events.

    I'm not one to rage out on a forum and I hope I never will be (sorry if I come of that way). This change nearly doubles my play time per node if there is a goon that draws AP. There is a delay even before the animation for the AP steal notice even comes up, in that time I've usually already decided on my next move. The animation itself hangs around on the screen far too long and there is no transparency to it so you can't see what is behind it. You then have to readjust your eyes to identify the tile you were going to target. By then your time to make 1 match has doubled.

    If you don't update, you'll have a nice advantage over those of us that did, especially when it's time to grind at the end of a sub. Only reason to update is for the in game chat fix.
