Do not update: a warning

Unknown

it increased all my nodes difficulty tremendously, from grey to yellow/red. happened to others in my alliance, if i can warn one person this is worth it.

Yep, what he said, most nodes almost doubled in levels, girlfriend hasn't updated and her levels are still low, she has a 130 C Mags/ The Hood node, mine is at 270/270 after update

Of course, this leaves Steam players tinykittied, since they don't have the option *not* to update...

And it totally messes with the integrity of the whole PvE event, not that D3 has ever been particularly concerned about that.

The phone would force you to update anyways probably in the middle of a match a day from now, just do it no point in waiting unless its until the end of the current sub, then yes probably should have waited.

Yup. 270 here as well after the patch. The 130 Hood+2 other nodes have jumped to the 155-175 range as well post patch.

Mine jumped as well

Too late. Sigh. D3, is there any decision/change you guys make of late that doesn't make the game less fun to play?

No! Now go away, or we shall taunt you for a 56th time-uh.

No amount of 5 second fishnets flashes can ease the pain of being smothered to death by a high-level Don's massive double chins.

What d3 giveth (woo compensation for server hiccups! lower scaled levels?!) d3 taketh away!

Honestly though, I think it'll be interesting to see if d3 have really turned things around and will hold up their hands and say.
Whoa sorry that wasn't meant to happen! Here's some compensation for a mistake we made (again).

Or just be like, oh. Did that happen? Check your internet connection. Otherwise, working as intended.

Hmmm... Tough call. Currently I don't see the sub nor can I send a chat with my alliance. But if I update the node difficulty may increase and make me miss out of a possible top 10 finish. Rock, meet hard space...

It's not doing this universally - mine didn't budge - but it definitely affected some people in my alliance.

wow, ninja changing scaling without notice in the middle of an event, and then having it effect only a subset of players (those who updated without knowing/steam users) while you are in the middle of releasing a new character who will (I am sure) be required for future events. Fantastic job...Im assuming if I contact CS about this (unfairly unable to get a cover I worked for that effects my competitiveness in future events) I wont get much of a response, or they simply wont know what I am talking about...

Unless you guys put in a FORCED update for all mobile users ASAP, the integrity of this PVE for a new cover is fubar'd

Thanks for the warning. I saw this thread and was ignoring it. Then I saw IceX's update thread. Went to my app to check for updates and decided to check out this thread before updating. Will hold off updating now. Not exactly proud to be taking advantage of this but this game has been making things more difficult at each turn that I might as well avoid one as long as possible.

Well i'm on steam so I think I get updated regardless (game wandered to loading screen and had a loading % to go through earlier which is normally an update) and my scaling is unchanged. Having said that my levels were more what i'd expect this event rather than staying hella low no matter what I did (i've been using lower level guys for nodes they can manage and getting them half dead but other ppl have taken zero damage with Patch/Mags super fast wins and i've been ahead of them in scaling).

I know at least 1 person in my alliance (on mobile) had the same issue. His Ipad updated and levels rocketed, his phone didn't and is still fine lol.

Scaling did seem kind of non-existant for some ppl so i'm guessing this is meant to be a "fix". It certainly looks like one of their "fixes". Must be a "fix" then.....

I guess the game scaled for 3 star kinda people, i been using only hawkeye, wolverine 2 star and daken 2 star + hulk, no scaling jump to me, only thing i noticed was that venom in the daily stage got his skill changed to the 7 ap one turn full stun. I dont see the new UI improvement with the timer for cleared up nodes, i tried on the early stage ones cleared to 1 point and nothing, am using PC/steam.

I haven't really seen a difference after updating.

Leaving steam open until it crashes.

My levels definitely jumped up after the update. Not just that, the point scoring differences now as well. It's an...interesting decision....to update those types of things in the final legs of an event like this.

Regardless...good luck to all
