    I believe those are tips on how to make your food taste better.

    And/or a new bug because Unity loves to find new bugs with new updates.

    The new update borked the roster filtering. If you choose update ready you get dozens of characters that cannot be updated. Other than that I cannot see any improvements in the game. Let us know if you find anything being fixed.

    Update: Forgot independence vault and quests has turned up.

    Yep...was just going to comment on this. It looks like Ascended characters can always get "trained" in the latest patch, even if you don't have any covers for them to level them up.

    On the bright side, you still need the actual covers to level them up. That was my second thought after seeing them all on the filtered list. My first thought was "Wait...when did I get this many covers?"

    Yeah... this is very irritating when clicking on an ascended character just to realize i didn't have covers to level up. :/

    Edit: hmm, 5* Bobby seems to be back to his former self now, so can easily do the stun quests with cheapThor.

    well to the makers of this game i first like to say thank you for all the fun times i had for the last 10 + years but due to the major lag support bugs and other **** i think im about to call it at least till whenever the tablet is allowed to play with steam

    might check in and play one or two times but i just cant stand the lag anymore hopefully it gets fixxed i mean

    after a win in pve it throws you into deadpool
    it takes 3 to 5 seconds to add a cover that is if it dont crash
    each support shows like 10 of each and major lag to rotate them

    and get reid of supports in pvp

    Fixed bugs:
    Rewards don't appear to be delayed.

    Still happening. Happened to me yesterday, rewards drops plugged up again, along with PvE timers not starting.

    Appears to be on user side, some subroutines in the app randomly stop interacting with the server.

    Rebooting the app gets things going again ... until it happens again.

    New bug on Steam - The "Train 3 Powers" daily quest now no longer counts if you add a cover to an ascended character if it doesn't increase their level. Just had six covers that I added to various characters, which usually puts me well into the "You've completed this quest." territory. Right now, I'm 2/3.

    I think this might be happening on every platform. I noticed it on Android the other day.

    It's been that way for a while. Partial levels don't count towards it, only the final cover that pushes you over to the next level.

    Has it ever been another way? Genuine question - I never waited to apply covers to characters that were 0/2 because I knew it didn't count for those quests but I didn't always track it, especially in the early days of ascension.

    I haven't seen anyone on the forum mention this bug.

    When sorting your roster to apply covers and use the "covers available filter', it shows all the 1* & 2* characters, even if you don't have covers to apply to them. That's a new bug after 7/3 change adding Kindle (?).

    Known bug from before the Kindle release. Reported on Discord several times at least.

    I play 100% on my iPhone and I am not looking forward to this updating dropping. Sounds like a complete mess.

    Majority of players play on mobile. When they release it with the exact same issues it will kill the game.

    You are not alone, it has been reported, screen shots and videos have been supplied.

    3. Roster filter is not accurate and significantly worse than before.

    If they could fix existing bugs, and not introduce new bugs (regressions) that would give us more confidence.

    • Character roster filter bugs (regression)
    • Lag/performance (it has already improved, but could be better.)
    • Game stops making matches (been in every Unity build/patch)
    • Supports are showing duplicates (regression)

    If those 4 items were fixed I'd be happier, most of the other items I can "live with" for a while.
    I could probably create a list: "Fix these 15 things, before releasing to mobile"
    I really do want to see MPQ succeed.

    If I had a nickel for every time I've heard this prediction. I guess it will have to be true eventually.

    If you want the game to keep going, spend money. Tell your alliance mates to spend money. Spend like 2X what you've been spending.

    But.....look what's happening. Do you want to spend money now when it feels like the devs/owners keep treating us poorly? I suppose it's up to each player.

    I am hopeful they will keep improving but the number of new bugs is concerning, no question.

    Another new bug with the new update: The PVE screen showing your progress after each node now says "Season points" in an overlay on top of the standard graphics; the points are the same as the overall event's points.

    I know it's to be expected that new bugs occur with things like this but....still. Every update seems to add them.

    If mobile performance doesn't get significantly better there will be a lot of upset people, regardless of bugs and visual glitches etc.

    Generally the people saying stuff like that WANT the game to die -- often because they don't like playing, but can't stop.

    When the game does die, there'll be a ton of outrage from the sorts of folks who haven't spent anything ever and who encouraged others to not spend anything ever.

    So, bit of a new one here.. as you can see from my screenshot, something doesn't quite add up. The enemy team made a match of the 3 red tiles with MultipleMan's icon on them, but they didn't disappear. I made another match after that, and it left no matches, so the board reshuffled, and upon doing so, also left 4 of those red tiles in a line, yet they didn't disappear. I even tried swapping 2 of the red tiles within the already "match" and it said it was not valid.

    edit: While I'm at it, I'm not sure if it's been reported or not, but I have like 6 of every support, which makes it SUPER annoying trying to go through them to find/assign one to a character.

    Multiple Man dupe tiles can only be matched away if they're part of a match-4. This is actually working as intended!
