The Doom H4H offer is 500 CP instead of usual 250 cp for classics. Bug? A new”feature” based on “user feedback”?

    And the event tokens are not a vault.

    It's a new release, they are never a vault.  It's always a store.

    And yeah, what's up with the Doom offer?  This game has so many (apparent) bugs lately.

    Feels to me like there are new faces, possibly/probably more junior faces, working on the back end. Either that, or some new auto-pilot features are being tested to make the manual burden come down a bit, and the kinks are being worked out.

    A short list of recent bugs.....

    DPvMPQ tokens being wrong
    Scoring being weird in events (possible bug)
    Claws for Concern being set up wrong initially

    Claws really felt like an automation mishap - the explanation there was it pulled in an old version of the event somehow. 

    Tacking on to that:

    The explanation for Maria Hill's invis vs airborne power being that CDs don't decrement when a character is airborne even though 2 other characters have moves like that. One of those (karolina) was introduced just 2.5 months ago, so presumably whoever did that one could have explained it.

    Both of those characters' powers that have countdowns count down while airborne are the same power that send the character airborne.  Perhaps the difference is that it's a different power for Maria Hill that would have sent her airborne.

    Has Maria Hill ever actually used a jetpack? I mean I guess she could have jumped in a flying car to escape instead, that might have been quite cool.

    Surely comic book Maria Hill has at some point.

    Oh and just to stay on topic:


    Doctor Doom has a ROCKET Pack, not a jetpack. Don't mix them up! Doom is not amused!

    Dr. Darwin's rocket pack just propels him into the side of a mountain.  Oops, should have deployed wings or something.

    Yeah, the real reason why Doom isn't going to get anywhere is because he is clearly going to crash at the first available opportunity and he will be in flames because his green dress will also be on fire.

    Depends on how it was coded, but the point is we've seen CDs that behave this way, so it is technically possible.

    Hey All - 

    Thanks for sharing this with us.  This indeed should be 250 CP and not 500 CP.  Please reach out to customer support if you made this purchase and the team will be able to refund 250 CP back to your account.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

    What about those with more than 250, but fewer than 500cp who want to buy the cover?

    Doom is beyond your reach! Doom shall not fraternize with anyone below 500cp.

    I was going to ask the same thing.  I could buy a 250 Doom... But not a 500.

    Suggestion:  re-run the Doom cover offer at 250 CP in the near future. The devs have done it before.  (Can’t recall the exact circumstances.)

    Option B is waiting a year for his next 5E. 

    I feel like the devs are just treating us terribly lately and maybe this would be a small nod that you appreciate us.
