Patch Notes - R105 (07/18/16)

David [Hi-Fi] Moore

R105!

Take wing…

What’s New…

- PVP action with Vision! - A Boss returns for vengeance?!

What’s Changed…

- Roster & Character Select screen: When viewing the character power level bar, selecting a power level reveals the description as if your character currently had that power level. *(See screenshot #1) - Power Shift screen: A button now displays below the ‘Drop Power Level’ button allowing you to see a description of the previous power level. *(See screenshot #2) - Roster screen (player’s character collection) is now scrollable horizontally. *(See screenshot #3) - Join Forces missions (where a character is provided for the player): A copy of the character with more levels and more power levels is selected. The game no longer selects the player's character by default. - Reworked Venom (Dark Avengers)’s Symbiote Snare power. Lower levels of the power require Web tiles to be on the board to activate the power. Each power level reduces this requirement until it reaches 0. The power no longer stuns the entire opposing team at Power Level 5. - Match hint now correctly shows the proper tiles when tiles were converted to another color using a power. - Game once again shuffles tiles properly if the last remaining match on the board is locked. - War Machine's Aerial Assault once again creates Attack tiles after the Aerial Assault Countdown tile is locked, then unlocked. - Raise Level button no longer loses functionality if a character was partially leveled in R103 or earlier.

- A Boss returns for vengeance?!



meaning BOSS PVE

Actually some nice changes.

How will Venom stun at all before 5 purple?
Snare requies web tiles, snare creates web tiles
Is he getting a 3rd skill to create web tiles?
And thanks for making the TU worthless, a team snare, even 1 turn, can be a life saver
Losing a fairly cheap team stun stings a bit

Compare the number of times you fight against him vs the amount of times you use the TU with him. For me it's about 100:1. YMMV.

Unrelated edit: The ability to select the levels of abilities and see what they do and the ability to see what you're "downgrading" to are both things that when I first started playing were very surprising to me that they weren't available. Good to see them added. Side scrolling through roster sounds cool too.

I really like this list of changes. Thanks!
Does the bolded change affect picking a featured character in a PvP event? For example, in the Peggy event I always wanted the 1/1/1 loaner rather than my 0/0/2 character.

Sounds like some good changes. The Venom TU was good, but real players used MBW's TU anyway.

I'm glad he can't stun the whole team regularly. Those dark avengers pve rounds were driving me crazy.

At last, 1* Venom's reign of terror is over!

he was really warping the meta there for a while. . .



(does this mean MBW's blue is going to get changed next? )

Take wing...

Obviously it's Colleen Wing.

:edit: Unless it's an anagram.

A Wet King - Namor

Or maybe Dazzler.

Awesome UI improvements.

I know there are rumors of Marvel not putting Fox-rights characters in their games, but I'm thinking Angel.

Most likely thing is that snare creates web tiles when first fired.

Take wing > take flight > alpha flight > alpha flight wolverine variation confirmed!
Finally a long awaited Wolverine variant! Probably only a 1*, but that would explain why Yelena was bumped.

Ok, so I guess that maybe there's a slight chance it's not a Wolverine variant. I guess it could be literal; Angel had his wings taken, but was graciously gifted replacements by Apocalypse. We could be getting Archangel? He'd be a good addition. We could get X-Force Archangel so that we can run a full X-Force team, which would be nice.

Those look like some great changes, thanks!

We'd still need Uncanny X-Force Psylocke and Fantomex! And eventually Uncanny X-Force AoA Nightcrawler.

If we're discounting Fox characters, it could be Wasp (since she's half of the Ant-Man sequel.) Vulture is also rumored to be the villain in the upcoming Spider-Man movie. This could be timed alongside an official announcement of this.

Also, Namor DOES have those little wings on his ankles...

- Join Forces missions (where a character is provided for the player): A copy of the character with more levels and more power levels is selected. The game no longer selects the player's character by default.

If I gave this one thumbs up for every time I got screwed because I used my character instead of the loaner I'd be filling the screen.

All the other changes looks great too.

Very cool quality of life changes, keep it up.

I would love a checkbox on the roster screen so I can bulk delete - would really make managing the selling of covers SO much easier.

Take wing… = Wasp?
