edited March 2017 in MPQ Bugs and Technical Issues
I don't know if this is MPQ acting up or my girl's wifi being goofy, but twice tonight I've had a 3* pull followed by a Bonus Hero of the same character, and when I went to my queue, I had one of the character pulled, and a second cover of an entirely different hero who was not among my selected Bonus Heroes.

Anybody else seeing this?

Moderator note, 21 March 2017:

This is a known bug and will be fixed in the next app update, R123. [Edit: this is update is now out.]

(Fixed in R123) The Bonus Hero comic displays twice instead of both the original comic cover and the Bonus Hero

The bug does not cause you to lose any cover rewards! What does happen is that it misreports what rewards you are receiving when a bonus hero is also pulled. Instead of showing you the random cover you would have pulled, followed by the bonus hero cover, it shows you the bonus hero as if it was the first pull and then shows it to you again as the bonus cover. When you look at your pending covers, you find the bonus cover and whatever cover you had actually pulled originally.

Note: Some players are reporting they do not have the "hidden" cover when they look at rewards, just a single copy of the bonus hero. If you see this, keep in mind that if you have an open roster slot and pull your first cover for a given character, it might have gone directly into your roster. See if you have a new 1-cover character of the same tier as the bonus hero. If you don't and are still certain you have lost a cover reward, please open a support ticket with full details.

Merging several threads on this issue and making this one sticky, because it keeps generating new threads.

    Same thing happened to me earlier tonight. From a standard token, I opened Thano3 into bonus Thano3 (Thano3 is set as my only 3 star bonus). When I went to my rewards queue, there was a single Thano3 and an Iron Man 40, IM40 was set as my 3 star bonus several days ago.

    Yup, new bug. Got two yellow Luke Cage, but the bonus was actually Cap Marvel

    The game showed I pulled a Black Bolt and got a bonus Black Bolt from a Latest Legends. This is impossible since Black Bolt is not in the Latest.

    Dr. Strange and Black Bolt were the covers I really received.

    It looks like the artwork for the Bonus Cover is overwriting the first cover drawn.

    Confirmed. I got two Thanos 3* cover animations but received a Thanos (my bonus) and a Loki (which I assume should have been the first cover to show).

    More order of operations fun. I can't wait until the day we start a match and see the victory or loss banner before the first move.

    It's not weird. It's broken. Devs need to respond if you are getting heroes as a bonus that you did not pick. They don't need more bad press with this system.

    I can't confirm or deny, as I have pulled no bonus since the update.

    Yep, just happened to me too, and from a standard token no less. Screen showed an iron fist, followed by a 2nd iron fist (which is correct, as he's my bonus 3*) ...went to apply the covers and saw a yellow panther and an iron fist. Whatevs, that's fine, but yea...definitely broken.

    Yup. Happened to me twice with 3's.

    Pulled a strange into another strange and a thor into another thor.

    I ended up with a strange and a switch
    And a thor and a loki.

    Definitely bugged

    Thing is, in thinking about it, two of them were characters I have selected as bonus heroes; it's just that those two are the ones who displayed on each pull. The ones who aren't bonus heroes are the ones who mysteriously showed up in place of one of the covers.

    Android here...looks like my token pull artwork was overwritten by the bonus cover, not the other way around. Imagine my surprise, pulling two red Peggys (Peggies?) and discovering one of them was actually a yellow Agent Venom. Ugh.

    seems from the reporting that there is a correlation here.

    The first cover pulled is often (incorrectly) being displayed as the same as the bonus. Also it seems to be happening with Thano3 more often than any other bonus hero

    Or it seems to be happening more often with Thano3 because many people have him set as their only 3 star bonus, 'cus he kicks tinykitty tinykitty!

    I had a similar experience. Pulled a 4* Thor from Classic Legends then another of the same immediately following as a Bonus Hero Reward. Went into my rewards queue and it was only a single Thor and a 4* Captain Marvel.

    I can't wait to see the outrage when someone thinks they've gotten two OML they needed from Bonus Heroes...and its something else icon_lol.gif

    Happened twice here 3* and 4*.

    The bonus hero cover is showing as the initial cover pulled AND the bonus.
