Patch Notes - R71 (02/19/15)

David [Hi-Fi] Moore

Greetings everyone!

It's time to take a look at the latest Marvel Puzzle Quest update.

R71 Patch Notes:

New Feature! Deadpool's Daily Quests! Deadpool. Taco Tokens. Daily.

The much-requested hero, Cyclops, has arrived!

UI, Tweaks & Bug Fixes

-Numerous powers that involve selecting tiles (such as Bullseye's Murderous Aim, The Hood's Twin Pistols, etc.) can be used with Colossus’s Fastball Special again.

Full List Of Powers Once Again Compatible With Fastball Special:
All Captain America (both 2-Star and 3-Star) Powers
All Black Widow (Grey Suit) Powers
All Spider-Man (Bag-Man) Powers
Bullseye: Murderous Aim
Hawkeye (Classic): Arrow Stab
Hawkeye (Classic): Take Aim
Hawkeye (Modern): Blast Arrow
Hawkeye (Modern): Electric Arrow
The Hood: Twin Pistols
Invisible Woman: Force Bubbles
Magneto (Marvel NOW!): Polarity Shift
Moonstone: Gravity Warp
Rocket & Groot: I Got a Plan

-More characters allowed in Survival missions: characters and Team-Ups on enemy teams in Survival missions no longer restrict which characters and Team-Ups you can bring into battle.

-In the mission map, you can now enter missions by tapping/clicking on their title on the map (as well as tapping/clicking on the mission pin a second time).

-Players must now create a name, by joining an Event, before the “Join Alliance” button shows up.

-Fixed a bug where, if a trap placed by Doctor Doom’s Diabolical Plot changed color, it wouldn’t be disarmed when Diabolical Plot was activated.

-Fixed a bug where minions were not generating AP of a color if there were only one or two tiles of that color on the board.

*Note: There is a known audio bug with missing music during some battles (noticeable while fighting Dr. Doom, for example). A fix is planned for R72.

"The spot has been marked - and a much-requested hero arrives" looks like a certain visor-wearing X-Men is joining the fray

Love the team-up news! It's been frustrating not to be able to use some of my best characters.

But if Cyclops is released, then people will have to stop saying that Marvel is controlling D3 and refusing to use X-Men/mutants to spite Fox over movie rights! They'll have to stick to Fantastic Four theories...

The spot has been marked.....

X marks the spot.....

Gambit is an X-man, as well as Cyclops and Prof X......

All 3, much requested....

Prof X being my first choice.

Hmmmmm? I wonder, it could also be,.... well no, I don't think so. That particular character is not "much requested".

The reason I think it's Cyclops is because of his new visor

Can't we introduce Doctor Slow-It-Down-For- ****'s-Sake, whose special power is to delay the release of new characters to 1 a month?

And the anti-naughty word system is very strange when it comes to hyphenated constructions with naughty words in them.

Good point. I didn't think of that. But I still hope it's Prof. X. However, Cyclops is supposed to be coming very soon, and with the X shaped visor, it will probably be him. Which is still cool. I just hope if they do go with Cyclops, that they use the 90's version. That was always my favorite look fim him. Blue tights, yellow trunks, yellow utility belt around the waist and a 2nd one over the shoulder, yellow visor, and yellow boots. But that's just a personal preference.

This is good news. The team-up blocking your character was just annoying. "Characters on enemy teams" means if they run GSBW you can still run OBW? that will be nice when the featured/buffed characters are also in the enemy nodes.

Be great. I wish it applied to all modes.

I suspect, in order of most likely, Cyclops, then Gambit, then Prof X.

I'd think if Prof X is ever brought in, he'd be a 4* as the leader/founder of the X-Men. Ooo, and he should have an ability like Mind Control, where you use the enemy's abilities against them.

Our spy extraordinaire already said it was Cyclops

IReallyHatePVP

Based on the bug fixes, I can safely guess our very first re-run of Enemy of the State is about to happen.

If Cyclops shows before Gambit(the ACTUAL poll winner) it may be time to pull down that Like from FB....

Still nothing about a daily PvE?
I was hoping that the release of this new game mode was planned for soon...
(even if I am aware that we just had unofficial informations about this )

new character. yeah. yippee. weee.

ZeiramMR

Heh, better that character than The Spot.

Unknown

Deadpool daily missions could be survival missions. He's being rewarded as final reward in gauntlet so this makes it likely for deadpool daily missions to come out next

I thought this was an intentional feature? It seemed reasonable enough.

I'm not sure about that, because Wolverine is never on your roster when he's on the survival nodes so he's not even selectable, and once you get him back he is never on the survival nodes. The other character the opponent get is Gorgon, who you can't have period. This would only impact teamups, and you could get around that by loading your Wolverine TUs in another match and then go to the survival mode. You can't add Wolverine TUs at this point (at least before patch) but the TUs you already loaded are still there. I'd hope this means they've releasing a new event that features more characters in a survival node because that change would have almost no impact to Enemy of the State.

I always thought this is a secret feature only a few knows. Not that there's any practical way to turn this into an advantage, but it was cool when it worked.

Woohoo! Colossus has been fixed. Team Tank (Grocket/Colossus) is a go!

AxeVirtuoso

My guess id Professor X as the next 4 star. Really nice, since I didn't get a Star Lord . I'm sure I'll have Prof X fully covered in...a year and a half?
