    players are slowly moving through the prologue and events with a wide variety of 1-2* characters, generally sitting around the end of Juggernaut or Venom's episode.

    Active-ception!
    I guess this makes us forum users overactive. icon_lol.gif

    3* Deadpool pls

    Or 2*

    ... both pls

    Since he's deadpool, you should be able to use both at once, and they'd have conversations with each other.

    Any ETA on said new tournament?
    Fairly soon, but after the next Episode is our current plan.

    4* Wolvie changes tho

    Do you know if healing will remain a countdown?
    Commentary on his changes would be premature. We haven't finalized him yet. About the only hint I can give is to quote Harlan from Stargate: "You are, Better."

    please make green strong...since I already maxed green to 5 icon_e_smile.gif

    So is this where we guess what the new tourney type is?

    I suppose one way to address MMR issues is to not use it at all. Or at least just a different kind. Going along the lines that people want to play early, I suppose a domination-type tourney also makes sense. But personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a modified round robin kind of tourney (I don't like grinding).
  • That's interesting about players and the prologue.

    I wonder how it shifts if you look at where the majority of players who have spent more than £10 are.

    Its a shame. With the rightfully maligned changes, coupled with a standard working day andEuropean tournament times PVP and competitive PVE holds no prizes for me. Having some decent refreshing pve content that let me get Iso and awarded some tokens would give me a reason to keep paying money.

    Even saying that I'm on about 90 quid so far so itsprobably for the best!

    Oooh, next Episode! Could you leak whether its going to be Hulk again, or a new PvE storyline?

    While I am keen for it, not sure how well I can sustain the play over 7 days, after just finishing the Hunt:Ares!

  • Define finish. I haven't come even close to 4/4'ing everything.

    Finish would be complete all missions. Not all rewards. Not sure on the all rewards counter for users, haven't looked at that for a while. I *do* know that there are a ton of users that could get all the rewards but just stopped grinding them, so I'm not sure how useful that metric would be anyway.
  • I'm guessing the new type will be an Ironman type. No healing of any kind, not even health packs. You fight until your entire roster is finished or the tournament ends!
  • Ice since I notice you're actively looking at this and this is a patch notes thread. I gotta ask.
    Is the OBW Bluex2, Purple reward for 46-75 intended rather then one of each color or a relic of the pre black cover era and planned to be corrected?

    -edit-

    I could see this raise havoc on a post spiderman nerf :p
  • I finished prologue like a month ago. I have gotten all the rewards too. The game is kind of lame today now that it's only 1 tournament, 0 events, and i finished prologue. I could do shield versus but that's no fun.

    Oh iceIX, is the thor nerf scheduled for R47? Or is it still being worked on

    Yep, given a 50% chance of 20 ISO and a 50% chance of a venom cover there's just no point. If we had a heroic option that gave out 50 ISO as a consolation prize...

    One of my fave moments event-wise is when they ran a 3-star and 1-star tourney simultaneously. I thought that was a good idea.

    Definitely a relic. Better question would be whether we can change/fix it in a running Tournament or not without messing with things down the line. That I'm more unsure of.

    Fairly light patch this time around. There are actually a TON of backend changes in this one that help out with future support but very little in the way of things that you all can actually *see* in terms of changes.

    UI
      - Buffed characters are now shown to be so in Roster Management and in battle

    Misc
      - Support for a new Tournament type has been implemented. Watch out for it coming soon! - Added support for the next PVE Episode.

    I am crossing my fingers the backend changes to help out with future support might include a movement towards linking PC accounts with Facebook. I am feeling guilty about not being able to share the love with my 5 friends I've gotten to start playing.
