Any word if 4 star falcon event will be rerun?

slidecage

With scaling turn on for the event many said they could not reach the level they needed since early grinding force the levels up to insane levels. Just wondering if D3 was thinking of rerunning the event or if it should even be reran.

(personally i run 3 star falcon anyday over 4 star)

Why do even you care if "personally i run 3 star falcon anyday over 4 star" ??

I don't think it needs to be. Sure the early players that rush had less scaling but they are playing for less points anyhow.

It was fine after the first sub event also.

If anything give out some hp for the extra health packs I and I'm sure a lot of others needed.

It affected everyone (in a particular bracket) at the same time. So while it was annoying, it was also still fair.

A couple of points: turning on scaling does not affect all players equally. The experiences of someone with a veteran roster, vs. a transitioner vs. a **** PvE-specific roster, are all different.

Secondly, you're forgetting that a lot of Android users were locked out during a crucial point in the event. Someone in my alliance was fighting for top10 when the bad patch hit, and by the time he got back in and was able to finish, he didn't even make top20.

thought not that many people were hit during the first run of carnage and they reran that.

really though at this time 3 star falcon a lot better then 4 star.. Yellow increase 3 tiles while blue only does 1

I didn't get the impression those guys were prompted with an option; it just loaded a patch file.

Hmmm. I foolishly skipped the first sub then decided to play the event so I only placed 63rd. Yes, please rerun the event.

That said, with only a small slice of the player base being affected, I don't think they will re-run it.

That only happens when the whole game goes ka-put, and most if not all players are affected.

There is always events going on though.

And then there are those of us not even given the option. If I refuse an update more than twice, it force-updates, so there's not even a way around it. If the update is borked, I'm borked, whether I want to be or not, because a forced update takes away my ability to choose.

I only came 3rd in the event and I'm positive that scaling had something to do with it. Please rerun the event with scaling turned off and/or compensate me with the Faptain cover I missed by not being t2.

JordonLee

Maybe they answered this question in that fancy Line Q&A loool.

No but seriously, people were affected by it. Not only community scaling but the crashes too. They did it for the carnage event, so..

Just for the fact that it affected people on first shards more than the later ones is alredy enough to say it wasnt a "fair" bug. If it was during a sliceless event like Ultron they yeah, but wasnt the case.

Really? That's what Steam does. Update or no launch. Booo. My Android always gives a yes/no. Reports from others lead me to believe it was the same on all Android devices. If forced into a bad patch, that's awful.

Should be compensation in either case ...

Just saw DBC's post. That sucks. I thought only Steam players were forced. Just another way in which the playing field will never be level.

On android, there are a few settings that come into play. You can have auto update set to on (which I do) but I only allow auto updates when on Wifi. So the patch was released when I was on 4g LTE, and both Google and within the app prompted me to update (It said, Skip or Update now, i believe). I skipped it since I wasn't on wifi and lucky for me it was a borked patch. But, when I got home and connected to wifi, it auto installed the patch.

Guess its a lesson to avoid updates during tournaments I should probably turn off auto updating too lol

Edit: On my Galaxy S6, at the top right of the Marvel Puzzle Quest Google Play store page, is an ellipses. Select that and uncheck 'auto update'

About that, I always leave EVERYTHING, be it on my phone or computer, to NOT auto-update. Ever. Some stuff (read almost everything) I even dont want to know when there is a new update. When I 'tab' MPQ and come back I always see the message to update and I can skip it countless times until that update is necessary to keep playing.

The Carnage Event bug was WAY worse than this, completely hosing people using IOS devices over all. I placed top 2 with a level 50 roster, and not having the 4 star essential, and I suspect part of it was due to being in "newbie" brackets, but part of it was definitely the IOS competitors being hosed.

Jack0fAllGames

The android crashes are a valid point.

The original post only mentioned the scaling issue.

Are you sure the two guys ahead of you weren't just really good at PVE?

Pretty sure they were Cheaty McCheatersons. I reported them both to CS when I filed my complaint ticket.

squints - that's sarcasm yes?

Personally I had fun with the event. It was on just as I happened to have 4 days off work and even with insane scaling and less than optimal play I managed top 20 (time slice 3). Only way I want to see a re-run is if it fit around my work rota lol.
