    Just updated on Android. I like the new loading screen. The ten year anniversary of the MCU covers are eh. And the save covers are still at 5. :/

    updated on iOS and its all good, saved the **** outta all the covers on my vine (including a couple of 4's & 5's that are full covered that I don't wanna champ yet). Love the new feature and the latitude it frees up with not being forced to "use it or lose it" champing bums (looking at you war machine and elektra!). The new load screen is cool too, 10th anniversary covers are kinda cool but very similar and makes it tougher to pick who's who out of a lineup

    Do you have more than 5 covers to save for a character and it won't let you or does just still have the 0/5 tally? I don't have covers saved currently, but it would make sense if it still listed 0/5 since that's what the trade in point is.

    The /5 remains, but the left number goes higher; my 2* Cap now has 7/5 in the vault.

    That's how I thought it would work. Super excited to use this feature. Devs knocked this one out of the park.

    Wasn't aware it was going to still show the 5. If that's how it's meant to be then I guess it's  working right. I just expected it to show the 50 or 100.

    I think the "5" is left to show that you can trade 5 for a needed color cover...

    I have 8/5 for my characters. So I guess it's a display bug? Did anyone receive free healthpacks?

    It only shows the 5 if you don't have 13 covers applied to the character. Looking at my 2* farm, Fully covered Cap just says 15 covers, while my Daken who has 11 covers applied says 3/5 covers.

    It's not a display bug.  I think it means you have 8 covers, of the 5 you would need to trade, but you can save up to the max needed to max champ.  My only 5* shows 1/3 which matches the lower trade cost for 5*s.

    I like the loading screen, seeing all the different Marvel characters.  
    Thanks!

    *Updated to Final Release Notes.

    Please note that we are noticing some delays with the Amazon build. Once we have more details, we will be sure to inform everyone of any changes.

    Hi Everyone. Historically patch updates have in fact been implemented on Mondays, however in this specific case, we anticipate that the R158 update will be going live on Wednesday instead. 

    Thanks for understanding!
    Thank you for updating the first post with this information
    We normally do not announce when build updates go live, so I apologize for the confusion or frustration you may have experienced, due to this unique situation.

    I have gone ahead and added this information to the original post so players are aware of this deviation from the norm.

    I habitually get to work at 8 am, but if I'm going to be late, I let my team know by email before I would normally have been there.
    It's quite possible that this was a delay outside of their control, due to platform QA done by Apple, Google, Amazon, etc.  If you plan to hit publish on all builds simultaneously, you might not know that you'll miss the deadline until one of the QA approvals fails to arrive in time.

    I'd imagine that they'd want this particular release to be as close to simultaneous as possible for fairness reasons (i.e. there'd be a big stink if Android users got to save the covers but Apple users had them expire, for instance).

    Yes, iOS, Android, Amazon, etc. all have their own builds, their own approval processes, and their own timelines for approval. It's completely out of the developer's hands once the updates / new content have been submit. So a more accurate analogy would be showing up for your flight with time to spare, but then being subjected to delays due to weather conditions, mechanical issues, etc. and being completely at the mercy of the airport / airline.

    Why does Gamora have a 10 year cover but not Star Lord!?  Rabble rabble rabble! also War Machine, Vision, Thanos and I guess Loki.

    Amazon update appears to be live. (I've successfully updated and loaded the app, at least, here's hoping others can as well)

    I also got the update. I did have to log out and log back in to see it though.
