    I'm always excited for new patches. Thanks for making the updates!

    I'm a bit confused, because this worked for a long time, then it was removed, then it was returned, and now it's removed again? Can we get more information on this? Now, I will get a few thousand less ISO per day... will that be replaced somehow, not just to me but really to everyone, including Steam players who don't get any FB gifts? Or at least you can have it send more non-1-star cover gifts to make up for it? Or send 2* cover gifts?

    - Players always have the maximum possible characters available when entering Team Select screen.
    What does this mean?

    This could go so many ways. Play tester reporting for duty.

    Re:
    Hulk vs. Bruce Banner- I noticed the special tile from Black Bolt didnt work between the two. Will a motivation tile increase The Hulk's levels if it was cast initially on Bruce Banner?

    On the bright side, it won't poison him if he's only active for two days. But otherwise he just has to sit around.

    Agent Venom sounds about right. So, 2 characters in 4 star.png tier that can't be used together? Or are you adding him as 3 star.png before adding another Legendary?

    Or perhaps
    Steve Rogers, Agent of Hydra
    is becoming more active?

    Well, it wouldn't work. Hulk transformation has no ranks on the abilities, and Motivation doesn't affect character levels.

    Occasionally I'll open a node and because one of my last used characters is unavailable, only two characters appear on my team. Tapping any available character adds them to the empty slot, but it's still freaky.

    THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END!!!!! Mark my words.

    That is.....unless.....they are going to add in ADDITIONAL times during gameplay, where you get to send out more boosts or Iso or healthpacks.........

    Oooh. My first thought was Coulson, but I like this much, much more. Agent Venom was a ton of a fun and I didn't think we'd get him in the game.

    Oh! Available in the selected team. I was reading it as "available to select" and I couldn't parse it.

    From the structure of the sentence, obviously it's an anagram of "An agent" with "more than"

    Gamora Henna Tent - It's Gamora's personal tattooist

    Earth Tonnage Man - It's Graviton. Or maybe Captain Planet

    Namor Gannet Hate - It's Namor, with his dislike of birds that eat fish

    Tongan Anthem Era - Finally, it's some recognition for Tongan Ninja

    Or maybe Dazzler

    I still can't do anything with Facebook. I get a log in error if I try. Is it just me? I thought it was more wide spread. Ticket time I suppose. Sucks because I wanted to take advantage of the Amazon sale, but I need facebook backups to work.

    It could just be the fact that I'm getting old and my eyes are starting to go bad after years of staring at a computer screen, but the new size of the font for character health is pretty difficult for me to see. I'm on PC, so I don't know if it's different on mobile or not.

    Facebook log in gives me an error as well. Tech support thought one of the updates would have fixed it, but it did not for me.

    it has been more than a week. where are my deadpool points? where are my rewards I missed in PvP bc (1) there was a bug and (2) no one at mpq could be bothered to let players in-game know there was a known bug in the game?
