    Wasn't this the pre-nerf values?

    This must be a bug then, enjoy it while you can guys.

    Well some people spend thousands on games. Some dude bought a virtual island and thus made the most expensive pixel purchase in history IIRC.

    That game you can rent your land so that guy is probably thinking he can make that money back by renting the land out, so it's not quite the same.

    Just updated on my Galaxy S3 and it seems that my alliance chat is now borked. I can only type in one letter, and second letter overwrites first letter. Any other Android users getting this issue?

    On a side note, I noticed my SwiftKey autocorrect/predictive typing bar is now showing...

    FYI for any Android users interested: It seems that this issue is related to SwiftKey. If I switch to Swype keyboard, the typing works fine as well as it having Swype's predictive text capabilities.

    Note 2 4.3 stock here. Before I couldn't type anything with touchpal x so used Swiftkey. Now it's the other way around. Swiftkey showing only one letter at a time, also overwriting last one and couldn't post anything but spaces and ' sign. Didn't try single letters if they show at all though.

    But at least word suggestion works now. Still can't move the cursor with touchpals arrows which is a bummer cause I can't move it to the end by tapping without pressing send.

    Yep, it's a bug, supposed to be the 10-30% values. We'll likely get a data patch out soon. We're also still planning on that static value change as well, but that's not *quite* through the balancing wringer yet.

    Some bad: the shield status is no longer displayed on the after-finish tournament view.
    Maybe those shields simply expired? I noticed that most shields disappear soon after a tourney, it probably just means they run out.
    This. For sure. I remember checking one of the tourneys soon after it ended and there were 3 people shielded. I checked a couple of hrs later - only 1 person.
    Is it just me, or does the 1x/10x/40x in the cover store look somewhat off stylistically? Cover store looks good otherwise, and the ingame info button was sorely needed. Also, why does the 40x Doom/Simulator cover pack say 800 HP off when the crossed out number is 15200? They should also list the drop rates for a 3* and 2* hero in general: I'm sure people would like the information without having to calculate it by hand.
    15200 is a regular price. 800 off 16000 (4x 10pack). 15000 is a daily offer.

    Good news: Predictive text works with the stock Android gesture keyboard. I'm not getting the single-character overwrite problem some are having.

    Bad news: Gesture typing is apparently processed in MPQ using a subroutine that runs on punch cards. I need to wait for in-game chat/my keyboard to finish thinking after every single word, for at least 3 times longer (I roughly timed it) than it took me to actually swipe that word. It also sometimes doubles a word for no apparent reason. So, after a moment of excitement, I'm back to thumb-pecking every letter.

    Could've been a lot worse I guess!
    At least it's not another one of these days for Ice when he comes into the office -

    Hey, at least I make sure the guys waiting out in the front room get their tea first. I have priorities!

    Be sure to reset pve scaling for when this happens though! Wouldnt want massive hordes of users dependent on cmags/spidey to complain that they cant beat the pve missions now due to the nerfs.

    Made that mistake with a couple change patches ago when we smacked a character around (Wolverine) during an Event featuring him. Don't really want to revisit that.

    Dun dun dun
    nerfs incoming I believe?

    Well it was good having you, Peter Parker and Max Eisenhardt. I do hope both of you get the Thor treatment, not the Ragnarok treatment.

    Didn't you hear? They're coming out with lazy 4* characters for them both after they've been nerfed. That way people will get the nerf but at the same time still have the good old spidey and c mags (house of m mags?) that people have always loved. icon_rolleyes.gif
  • A full-on character patch would be great. Get all the characters out at once, buffs and nerfs. I'd love to see X-Force and M. Hawkeye finally get their due.
