    Oh iceIX, is the thor nerf scheduled for R47? Or is it still being worked on
    The character changes aren't planned around any specific releases. Depending on the change we may be able to push it out as a quick patch as opposed to a full on client update, so it's hard to say precisely what the date schedule is for each. But as for the Thor changes themselves, I just checked the latest bleeding edge build and it's still using placeholder information for the changes. So you've got a little bit there.

    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.

    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...

    Yeah, that's basically why I have all missions finished but not all rewards collected. There's a few 500 iso and 50hp rewards still sitting in there for me to grind out at some point, but I'm not exactly champing at the bit to repeatedly get 20 iso in search of a modern widow cover or a boost which I already have the max number of.
  • There should really be some sort of persistent pve content that we can do on times like this where the only events are pvp (which doesnt make sense to start until the last day due to the way things work).

    Or maybe we could roll back to the state where it was feasible to play early, and even adjust to that direction -- so make the slack go.

    I +1 the idea to reset shield training every week so it could serve as some buffer. And a ton of other good suggestions are sitting in the other group.

    Yeah, the more i think about it, the more i like the idea of resetting shield training weekly and lowering progression rewards to just iso + maybe a heroic token as the top reward. Would give us an interesting iso farm and be extremely easy to implement on the devs side.

    I'm gonna guess at the new tournament type:
    Team Tournament (you are in a team with x other players and you have a collective rating against other teams for prizes)
    Periodic Rewards (Rather than just giving ranking rewards at the end, give them throughout to encourage early play)
    The Underused Character Tournament (self-explanatory; I doubt this one because Ice said support needed to be added)
    TIMED (here's the one I'm really hoping for. Rewards or points would be based on speed of battle)
    Endless (similar to things suggested elsewhere, it would be fighting wave after wave of goons until you fall. Healing abilities disabled, but come out of the battle at full health, maybe?)
    ? (I don't know what to call it or exactly how to explain it, but it might be that players could actively and dynamically affect a storyline, each other, etc. with their play)

    But really, I expect it'll be none of the above. It'll be some mystery that we as mortals cannot even fathom!
    I just want it to be spectacular icon_e_wink.gif
  • Even better and as easy: rename the current one Basic shield training with the ladder it has, and add another yellow page Advanced shield training that resets every week and has no direct cover prizes at all.

    Then basic could be tweaked for more usable for newcomers through level caps or something.
  • Okay okay..so...is wolverine's green functionally the same with diff stats or is it a different move now? (Ex: blows up tiles in an an x and drops tiles now, totoally diff skill, etc) Blink once for yes and twice for no.

    I think with these types of games, you cant expect anything too crazy, so out of these suggestions, my bet would be the periodic rewards tournament, since that seems like something that would be reasonable to implement and solves a major existing problem.
  • Ice X you guys should make another prologue that you have to unlock by completing ALL the other missions and gaining ALL rewards. In this special prologue it could be dark xmen? Kind of like a bonus rewards.
  • I'm not sure why, but it infuriates me when people.refer to his evil clone Ice X instead of Ice IX

    wait...if ice 9 has a clone then ...maybe ppl were thinking of ice 10 when saying ice IX was ragnarok. wait but that means.... Oh my godofthunder!

    Btw: if we are going to be using tinykitty censorship with the would "rap" with an extra e then shouldn't you also censor the word God as its usually only being used in a "vain" way which would bother plenty of ppl who are very religious. Just pointing that out (might be a "don't do anything until a complaint appears" type of situation though to be honest). I guess I could see why you woukdnt want that though ice IX as tinykitty of thunder just doesn't sound as cool (sounds closer to being called a thunder c-word). If you do ..I recommend changing o my God into "by Odin's beard" ...which maybe should happen anyway lol.
  • Anything coming tonight? Any other tourney, even Lightning.....lol

    Maybe it's finally villain Pve!!!
    *carefully keeps eyes out for needle*

    Or I guess that since a it's tourney would be hero lightning rounds but I know that isn't it.

    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.

    2* Bagpool should be interesting
  • I just hope that in future of this game, we can do a clan thingy. (Form as a team with players)
    Things will be alot fun, but definitely if there's a clan gg on in future. All the high levels once will together... icon_twisted.gificon_twisted.gif

    You could have like 2 types of clans. Alliances and Brotherhoods or something of that nature. Depending which type your clan is you get 10% buff to heroes or villains.
