Patch Notes - 5/7

IceIX

Today's data patch actually has some user facing stuff so I figured I'd surface that through some notes.

UI

-Changed the "Prologue" tab to read "Story" - Added a "Tap to Play" message on the Title Screen

Gameplay

- Added Falcon (Mighty Avengers) to the Comic Packs

Misc

- Changed Falcon's costume attribution from "Modern" to "Mighty Avengers"

Does this mean there will be no more single player elements added to the game? ie The story as it is is the whole story whereas before it was just the prologue?

Excellent change. He is a Mighty Avenger indeed.

From the other thread on this one:
Well, it's a change for multiple reasons, but the main one is so that we don't run into a situation like we had with The Hunt where 1 Parent, 3 Subs, 2 Versus Tournaments, a S.H.I.E.L.D. Tournament, and a Season button are creating a HUGE amount of various Events on one tab. It was very difficult to parse. The general idea is that we'll move PVE Events into the Story tab and Versus Events will have their own tab.

Wouldn't that make the story tab as large as the event tab? Or larger?

Its like we need 3 tabs for that reason. Season 1, prologue and story/pve

We could and possibly would. It becomes a real estate issue though on some phones for the number of tabs and tappability. And yes, it could make the Story tab a bit large sometimes. But it's easier to parse out things that you know are static than things that are always shifting when you're trying to zone in what you want to engage with.

May I suggest a toggle switch in the settings to hide the prologue missions? I very rarely go there for anything so it would keep the same real estate and free up much more room for activities.

Let's not be so hasty and remember that some guys (read: me) still do prologue healing or story healing it is now

That's why it would be toggled on by default, if you want you can go hide them. Only makes sense, you wouldn't want them hidden for the new people.

Suggest three tabs - story, pve events, pvp events.

Also suggest that some version of the earlier pve events eventually make their way across to story -- so that new players that come in on the 17th chapter have some way of finding out what's happened before hand without waiting for the next re-run of chapters 1-16.

Calm your pants with the Nightcrawler thing - he hasn't even been hinted anywhere. Right now we know that the planned new additions to the cast include Lazy Daken, Nick Fury, She-Hulk, Mohawk Storm and Sentry (Void?). I believe the list sorta guarantees we're nowhere close to seeing Nightcrawler introduced. Or Rocket Raccoon, or Groot, for that matter.

Having three tabs would be the most logical choice. As it is now story already has 4 events so I can only imagine having to scroll over that much every time to play an event. just imagine the hulk or the hunt event. I like the idea of story, pve events, pvp events.

I think there's plenty of room for a 3rd tab, but probably not any more than that. They dropped support for 1st gen iPad, so how long before iPhone 3gs or other older phones gets dropped? The game is barely playable on those devices as it is. I played a bit on a 3gs and you don't even see the opponent cascades so you have to constantly check their ap levels to see what they matched.

On one hand, only two devices are forced to use iOS 6, as it's their latest compatible major revision: iPhone 3GS and the 4th Gen iPod Touch. All other iOS devices are either stuck on iOS 5 or below (and are thus locked out by patch 52) or can run iOS 7.

On the other - patch 52, which mandates iOS 6 or greater, has only just been released. I don't think the devs are going to jump forward another whole iOS revision just yet.
