Hi Everyone,

MPQ 132!

"Enjoyed getting trolled"

What's Changed:
  • Characters that have powers that reduce damage to themselves will now correctly reduce damage against powers that have their damage manipulated by board conditions.

    I think this one is actually Dazzler. The game makers enjoyed the constant Dazzler guesses but now that time is over.

    Yep. Most obvious Dazzler clue to date :)

    Wow... what does that even mean? Oh, like Move or Be Moved and whatnot?

    No. I think "manipulated" is the wrong word. "Modified, determined, or increased" sound better. Think Whiteout, Smite, or the new Staff of Living Tribunal that increase in damage based on board conditions. Damage reducing powers like Seeking Redemption may not have been reducing them enough.

    Pip?  Can Adam Warlock be far behind?

    :edit: Please let the "gameboard performance improvements" be an off button for the animations.

    Nah they probably mean they removed the 2 minute wait at the end of everyone's turn whenever you had attack tiles but your whole team was invisible.

    Ooohh. Trolling. We've come to think of it as that internet thing where you deliberately try to get on people's nerves, but the older meaning has to do with fishing. Dragging bait to draw out the fish. And with a very small number of famous fish in Marvel, this can only mean we're getting Namor! (I think Sue Storm is the classic bait he enjoys)

    It's Mr. Fish's time to shine!

    I'm always very grateful for gameplay improvement changes, thanks! I suggest looking next into the bug causing app crashes right after starting a battle... this happens probably thrice daily.

    Good call.

    I don't know. People actually want him added. And it makes sense. Bearing that in mind, it can't possibly be true.

    In all seriousness though, yeah. Given that it was taken from MCU (like the Hawkeye clue was), Mary Poppins is probably right. Aw darn, I couldn't maintain the "all seriousness".

    My first thought was Namor, but yeah I'm pretty sure this will be Yondu.  Also, we're due for a 5* release next, right?

    Cool possibly yondu but is this a 5* release??

    I'm totally clueless as to who this could be.

    I hope not 5*. If it were Namor, 5* might make sense, but Yondu, while popular in the movies, was a supporting character rather than a starring role. While his role as one of the original Guardians in comics does give some possibility, that iteration of Guardians just didn't get the importance of the new line up.

    The release schedule of characters puts this about two weeks before the DVD, so there should probably be one more. Instead of a clue for the follow-up, can you just say "Fine, it's Nebula?"

    Aw, it wasn't that sad. It was bigger than Dr. Manhattan's at least.

    ...I wonder if I'm thinking of the same (redacted) that you are?
