    What's changed...
      - Team-Ups now correctly display the intended character icons in battle.

    Does this mean we'll know what T/U the enemy is using in battle?
    We already know that. It's displayed on the screen where you pick your teamups. There was a bug where some teamups showed the icon of another character instead for some reason. I assume that is what has been fixed.

    If it is 4* DD, will we see the first anti-trap tile power(s)?

    1. We already know the new character's powers.
    2. We already have anti-trap tiles. They are called strike and protect tiles.

    Are we getting a Thanksgiving week gauntlet? It'd be a refreshing change from the family gauntlet of political minefields and casual racism I typically run during that week.

    Looks like The Hunt will be running Thursday-Sunday this week, followed by Heroic: Juggernaut running Sunday-Thursday 11/19. Gauntlet looks to END on Thanksgiving, not start.

    On the plus side, that suggests that we'll get the new PVE event starting over Thanksgiving weekend.

    I did not say "Pre-Battle", I know it shows the TU before I start the battle. The problem is I forget what the TU is during mid-battle. I wish there was a way to see what the CPU has.

    Anyways thanks for clarifying what the fix is.

    You can, the same way you can look at all the AI character abilities, click one then use the > button over to the TU slot

    Ooh, time for another round of Guess Who Is Meant By "The devil is in the details"...

    For some reason, The Devil in Miss Jones comes to mind. So obviously it's Jessica Jones.

    I really hope the "devil" doesn't mean a 4* Daredevil. Ghost Rider would be awesome. And I always wondered why isn't he in the game already.

    No predictions of Nightcrawler? After all, his father is supposed to be a/the devil. I can't see why they'd be releasing another Daredevil right now, but if they do, I bet it'll be the yellow uni (although unmasked, suit-wearin' Matt Murdock would look pretty sweet).

    They said that they were done with Mutants for a while now.

    Also, the first rule of The Draco is we don't talk about The Draco.

    So what's with the horrible new border around the app and the awful low res marvel splash screen.

    I was also here to ask about the border. It's not attractive. It also seems to be messing with the game's display resolution since it's only on the sides and not on the top/bottom; everything (other than the main event selection screen) looks ever so slightly fuzzy and it's quickly getting annoying.

    EDIT: Also, the "Rate Marvel Puzzle Quest!" nag window is now too narrow and the button to actually rate the game runs off the side. The only visible options are "no thanks" and "ask me later."
  • So what's with the horrible new border around the app and the awful low res marvel splash screen.

    +1. It's dumb that Google's doing it with all their apps. It's even worse with other devs. And low res makes it worse. Apparently we're to stop confusing this with DC Puzzle Quest.

    But here's another vote for Ghost Rider, which would be awesome. I'm not sure that I trust these guys to correctly balance "Heroes" and "Villains", especially when that line is largely arbitrary in the comics (Hulk? And whose sides are Iron Man/Cap on, or Cyclops? The win will be Deadpool though - dying to see if he's treated as a hero or a villain).

    As for why not Ghost Rider yet, Marvel really needs to figure out their strategy with him. Time for a movie reboot much? At the theater before Avengers 2 they actually posed the quiz on who should be the next Marvel reboot and not surprisingly he walked away with a sickening percentage of the vote.

    Yeah, they said that after Mr Fantastic, and then released Old Man Logan, Cyclops, X23, and Phoenix.

    There's a very real possibility that no-one at Demiurge actually understands what words mean.

    I'm hoping gauntlet won't be over the weekend, could do with a PVE weekend break and I love gauntlet!

    what's the betting there'll be a node against a 5* this time?

    Not one 5*. The final node will be all 5* icon_e_wink.gif

    If they're single cover level 255, I'll take that all day long.
