R167 Release Notes (12/3/18)

Brigby

Hi Everyone,

Here are the release notes for the R167 update!

MPQ 167!

• "Anything For Love"

What's Changed:

• Hero Point Sale starts today, 12/3, and ends on 12/10!

• In wave missions, when an enemy power downs one teammate and causes another one to arrive, the newly arriving character will no longer fire passive powers in response.
• For example: you're fighting Carnage and he fires Symbiote Scythes, downing a teammate and causing Kamala Khan to arrive. "Bring Out The Best" used to fire in response to Symbiote Scythes; now it doesn't.
• Please Note: This is a fix specifically for when the enemy team downs their own teammate.
• Corrected behavior where "Full Points" would display before the event points were actually full.
• Alignment of "Tap Here" circle in tutorial missions has been improved.

But... they won't do that... 
No, they won't do that.

Persephone

5* Scarlet Witch

Moon Roach

Huzzah, waves are fixed.  <reads properly>  Boo, waves aren't fixed for the 99.7% of situations I experience.

Breaking waves - 5* Namor confirmed.

My unsubstantiated guess is that "Anything For Love" is a lyrical clue, pointing to "I'd run right into hell and back" - of the Marvel Hell characters (who aren't Ghost Rider), I'd opt for Daimon Hellstrom.

He doesn't have the potentially-offensive baggage of the other possibilities, and he is in some other modern Marvel games.

ThaRoadWarrior

"I would do anything for love" by Meatloaf who played Robert Paulsen in Fight Club. The real life Robert Paulsen played Batroc the Leaper (voice actor) in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. 

5* Batroc incoming

Really? Only when the AI has a passive that would fire if they had been there? Is it really that hard to fix Carol when she shows up or Storm so they won’t automatically generate AP or deal damage from attacks they weren’t even hit by? I’ve never even seen Carnage followed by Kamala’s twinkle heal, but I’ve sure seen Hulk show up and throw down anger tiles when he was never hit.

Anything for Love was a Hallmark movie directed by Terry Ingram who worked as second assistant director on Power Pack (TV short). 5* Power Pack! (Or maybe just Jack Powers, since he’s 2 spots down from director?)

or Hell's Kitchen maybe.

I think it could be a character that can make people do anything they want through their voice and powers, which makes me think either kilgrave/purple man or enchantress. I am really hoping for a David Tennant version of Kilgrave. He’s certainly powerful enough to be a 5*.

Drlex

After having watched Daredevil recently on Netflix, I would guess Kingpin. He would certainly fit. Besides, I want more villains.

bluewolf

Anything for Love is by Meatloaf.  His most famous album has to be "Bat out of H&!!".

5* Batwing (debuted in Untold Tales of Spider-man #2) confirmed.  I mean, we just got Prowler....let's dig even deeper into Spidey's rogue's gallery.

Nate Grey cause it sounds like a tagline for the new Uncanny X-Men issue...

Well Kingpin and Meatloaf share body types, so maybe.

Whatever, as long as the sound is permanently muted...

And see what y'all can make of this, as far as a potential hint: https://bit.ly/2pifh0C

No, they won't do that.

Hmmm... there is precedence (sorta, kinda)

Is this an alternate timeline Cable or something?

Looks like Nate Grey, a version of Cable not infected with the techno-virus.

They just did prowler so kingpin would make sense too because they are both in the new animated Spider-Man movie

IronLad

I'd but interested but wary to see 5* Kingpin - his previous version & 5* Doc Ock aren't setting great precedents for villains who aren't Thanos...

Of course, if he came with a new PvE encounter that would balance the books!
