    Stuck in the balancing queue? Guess were never going to be seeing that change then icon_e_wink.gif
    There'll be news on that front soon. icon_e_smile.gif

    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.
    Any news about at least waiting for the current day's event to finish, rather than pushing it out 2 hours before the end of it?

    Chat is still broken for me after this update. It shows the little icon but I can't see new messages for several hours. Yes, I do scroll around, but no luck.

    Can we change the post mission reward animation thing please. Far too fast and hurts eyes. You are showing 3 or 4 images within the space of a couple of seconds. Too much.

    You're complaining that it's too fast? I'd love an option to turn it off. Completely. Just give me the reward quietly and let me go straight to the next match. I'll work out what I got later. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    It's the constant and bright flashing from one screen image to the next that is my concern. If there has to be a delay, one screen only and less bright and flashing.
  • I agree that something is awfully awry with the new collect animation. Even on PC it is very fast and disturbing.
  • If you click or tap on the screen right away it skips the animation. I can't imagine going through a 40 pack and watching all those animations. Probably give me a headache icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Likewise. Sometimes it gives me the most recent message (which seems a little out of context) and then gives me the other messages at some point afterwards. I know my alliance chat is fairly active so when I don't see any updates (or just one or two message) for 8hrs+ I know there's an issue.

    The new store where Spidey is prominently featured on the standard token and LThor and BP are featured on Heroic reminds me of the Mitch Hedberg joke...

    "You know when you see an advertisement for a casino, and they have a picture of a guy winning money? That's false advertising, because that happens the least. That's like if you're advertising a hamburger, they could show a guy choking. "This is what happened ONCE." "

    To be fair I literally got over half my Spidey covers from standard tokens because hes never featured as a reward. Only won 5 from pvp. 4/5/3 currently. icon_e_wink.gif I think one of the yellows was a heroic token though.


    I had all 4 spidey covers from standard tokens. On the flipside, I had twice as many bagmen come out of those heroic tokens, so I'm not bragging too much

    yeah...it held back 10 and 11 hr old messages, and then threw them in there at the same time earlier. I keep seeing the new message icon, but still, no new messages are appearing.

    also...+1 about the new end match graphic. Wasn't really needed. Already the end parts are already a bit too long between matches in PvP where time is of the essence. Just give us the reward quickly and quietly so we can move on to the next match without the Michael Bay sound effects blowing though our speakers, lol

    Supposedly they only do it once for the 10x and 40x packs. Not that I've spent 16,000 HP to verify this... icon_rolleyes.gif

    Except for the first cover, tapping on the rewarded cover in a 10x or 40x pack now skips the animation
  • IceIX, can you give us *some* kind of time frame on *soon*, regarding cMags/Spidey? Because for all we know that's still weeks away.

    Better yet, can you just announce the changes? :/
  • Are we going to get official patch notes on this one anytime soon or is the preview in the news section just supposed to stand?

    The "Upcoming" changed to "Patch Discussion" since there were no changes to the notes between these times. The Announcements thread now has it stating when the Patch went Live as well.

    I just did a post on a couple other changes going in for Falcon and Storm (Modern). Spider-Man (Classic) and Magneto (Classic) are both on the block still, with Spider-Man fairly close to completion. We just did another round at the start of this week on what we think is his final balance. I don't want to reveal anything quite yet though since this last pass revealed a nice little exploit that means one of the abilities is likely getting refactored *again*. I'd rather not post stats then have to post a different set a few days later. Doesn't help anyone really.

    Thanks for keeping us in the loop ice.
  • I tried to search for it but I couldn't find anything. Since I can't upgrade to iOS6, is there any way to migrate my data to steam? Thanks

    Looking into it. The process for *linking* data so you can play on both is manual and not something we offer, but full migration may be possible. We haven't done it before, so I'll have to talk with an engineer first to see if there'd be any technical reasons that it wouldn't work.
