Snow instead of fixing issues?

Dear D3,

Thank you for the snowy start screen and the box of gifts (empty as I don't have tokens stored there, but still). Much appreciate the effort....


Or maybe you could have put the effort in fixing the "randomnes" of pulls, or -200 point fights in PVP, or sick guantlet scaling, or too many character released with too much grind needed even for one cover or the alliance being droped from 35 to 102 in the last hour of an event, or..... (please dear members of this forum add your "or" that was better investment of time than snow on the load screen).

    Thank you to the graphics team for continuing to do nice things for us while a totally different team works on the innards of the game.

    It does help keep the game somewhat fresh as we wait for the rest of the items to get worked on in the background.

    Do you really believe the same guys who work on the artworks would have coded stuff to fix scaling, token mechanics or whatever else needs fixing if they hadn't been busy adding snowflakes?

    I'm a software developer and I couldn't do artwork to save my life and the same is usually true the other way around.

    I like it just fine, though I'd love to have seen a Santa hat and beard on the Hulk.

    No - I don't believe it's the same guy. I just would prefer they would invest the resources (be it time or money) given for this magnificent design to improve the features of the game that start to make it unplayable.


    This game is an addiction to me and many others around. I keep asking them to improve but maybe they shouldn't and I can be unhooked without regret...

    The only crime is making new artwork while that Squirrel Girl artwork remains untouched.

    Hey, they added Tippy Toe to her icon! What more do you want? Besides, let's not ignore the real offender here: Iceman. Notice they chose a pose for the load screen that doesn't display his unsettling soulless eyes?

    There's a certain irony about leaving multiple messages on a video game message board to complain about how others prioritize their time.

    All I see with the Iceman PVP thumbnail pick is him being cheeky Dr. Evil style:

    This thread reminds me, when Christmas Carolers come by this year, I have to harass them about not fixing that hole in my roof. icon_rolleyes.gif

    The funny thing is the naive assumption that there are "issues" that need to be "fixed", from Demiurge perspective anyway.

    The snow amused me, and I even showed it to my cat, who licked the iPad's screen in a nasty fashion to show her approval. What made me share this little tidbit is that right after that I did that, I opened two tokens; one Prodigal Sun Token and one Heroic token. BOTH were Iceman covers! (a blue and a green, bringing Mr. Ice to 1/1/1). Apparently the RNG favored my cat's display of snow-approval.

    the title should be "Snow, instead of sparkly victory screen???"

    I really did enjoy the sparkles!
