Power move abuse

Unknown

If anyone knows the answer as to how iron man 40 on the enemy team can use ballistic salvo twice like the second round into the match please explain now? Cuz it's really pissing me off. There is no way possible that that should happen. And I keep losing to lower leveled opponents. This really is ticking me off. All I want is a blue daredevil cover gosh almighty.

That move costs 20 blue ap each time. Plus subtracts 2 of other ap colors. So how is he generating 42 blue ap into the second round with like just a green match or something? I dang sure don't understand

Proof?
Sorry to be the one to ask, but when people are irritated they tend to exaggerate for the purpose of example.

*Edit: Of the Ironman thing. Not the "lower people beating you". That happens. You've beat people stronger than you too, I'm sure.

I thought 30 was the max AP you can store up in any one color, so don't see how its possible to use ballistic salvo twice in a row.

Unknown

Idk but I swear it did happen. It's happened before and I've sent in tickets about it. My gf has the same problem every once in a while. I'm assuming it was a game glitch cuz when I lost it took my screen forever to load just to take me back to the main screen to open the game

Theoretically possible, I guess, if you had 30 AP and the first Ballistic Salvo triggered a cascade that netted you 10 more. Seems like it probably isn't a thing that happened, though. If it did, that does sound like a serious and horrible glitch.

The enemy would have to have an insane cascade streak (possibly combined with modern storm to remove tiles) in order to get 320 AP on the second turn. To then have THAT cascade into another 20? It's possible I suppose. I've had some awesome turn-one streaks (2 5-tile matches right away and a cascade that netted me enough red to remove environmental tiles, then enough green to lightning another bunch of tiles....cascades into another environmental removal, etc...)
Can it happen then? I suppose so. Often? Hell no.

Unknown

I had a similar issue, where my Dr Doom (~3500 Health) was insta-killed in turn three. From game logic perspective, it could not possibly have happened

I sent in ticket, the Powers That Be sent me a heroic token and an apology.

When you are dealing with multiple infinite state machines flinging megabits of data over wireless communications the world over, glitches are gonna happen.

now all games are played exclusively to avenge Dr Doom... bwa-hah-ha !

The OP is terribly unhelpful. He doesn't give any details (i.e.an insane cascade happened after the first salvo, AI had 30 blue stored, no cascade happened, etc...)

Nothing to support or refute whether this happened or not.

This is a waste of time, he's most likely exaggerating because he's mad he lost to an inferior opponent.

Unknown

Are you sure about your details OP? It's hard to save up enough blue to pull off one salvo mid-to-late game, much less two, unless OBW is on your team and working overtime. If you're certain, you have a bug on your hands, though I would think one of that size would be spoken of much more and the fact that it has happened to you multiple times makes me think you may be remembering it a little unclearly, no offense.

Unknown

There were times I felt the AI was able to pull off high-ap abilities before it should have. I wondered if there wasn't some bug that causes AP from the previous battle to carry over into the next one. I've never been able to catch it happen and I don't recall it happening recently.

Unknown

Twice now after getting an extra move from a cascade, when using a power after getting it, it has ended my turn and not let me make my extra turn match(no it wasnt a turn ending move) Something screwy happening somewhere so i guess a power firing twice isnt impossible either.

Unknown

Unless we here back from the OP on the nature of the incident, I don't think we'll be able to figure it out here. It is easy to miss things if you look up or don't pay attention. Maybe he missed a cascade or match 5, or he lost track of how many turns actually went by. If he was frozen from the first hit and his teammates were down, it may have seemed like it was the same turn when it wasn't. Knowing who the other opponents were would also help.

Actually the tile matching game is played on your local device and you only send the results to the big machine. So any in match glitches are all down to your device.

This means swearing at your device is warranted.

There wasn't a cascade. I mean it literally just used the move back to back. I wasn't stunned or anything. I have no clue how it happened but I was hurt by the fact it did. The team consisted of iron man 40 daken (whom I took out first) and punisher

Moving this to the bugs forum. Not sure how this would have happened, but if it did, it's not something normal and thus should be there.
