Hi everyone!

In case you missed it, we wanted to point you at a Marvel.com feature for War Machine's arrival in Marvel Puzzle Quest. Fly over for a talk with D3 Go!'s Josh Austin and explore James Rhodes' abilities and design principles. Screenshots are on display.

You can grab a look RIGHT HERE.

PIECING TOGETHER MARVEL PUZZLE QUEST: WAR MACHINE
Quote:
"Marvel.com: The Iron Man and War Machine armors are fairly similar for all intents and purposes. What did you guys want Rhodey’s suit to do that made him feel distinct?

Josh Austin: We have a number of awesome Iron Man armors available in 'Marvel Puzzle Quest' but in comparison to Iron Man (Mark XLVI), which specialized in team leadership for Civil War, War Machine (James Rhodes) focuses on his flying abilities in addition to a tactical scanning ability and impressive armaments. This helps differentiate the two characters’ powers making each one stand out.

    Thanks David. A question, there's 2 days left for the second run of Civil War to start and we haven't received word about the prizes scheme which is good to know in advance to pick a side and coordinate with our alliances. Can you please get us that info today if possible? And while I have your ear, Winter Soldier entered the game over three weeks ago and he hasn't been added to tokens. Any update on this?

    Hi,

    I hope to have some info coming in on 'Civil War' Run 2 that I can post tomorrow.

    Re: Winter Soldier. I don't have additional details, but Demiurge_Anthony mentioned that WS would not be added during the Civil War events here:

    His second power is Heat Signature Detection, which costs 11 Blue AP. War Machine activates his infrared sensors, flushing enemies out of hiding and cutting through their defenses. He removes all enemy invisibility tiles and up to 2 enemy Protect tiles, then deals 732 damage.
    Please don't make him the enemy for the 4* DDQ node against invisible characters icon_cry.gif. DDQ is the best feature and making it more challenging is unnecessary since the rest of the game fills that need.
