Dev Update #6 - MPQ Unity Launch Pt 3

Anyone using an iPhone 16? I haven't been forced to upgrade and really don't care if I ever upgrade but I know it is coming so curious how the experience is on an iPhone 16. Thanks!

Two items

1- wasn't getting this pop up last night when opening support tokens. This is a screenshot from before I updated so you know the pop up I'm referring to.

2- not sure where we left off in the dumpster fire that's supports in pvp but my fantasticar isn't working in shield sim. Was working fine yesterday(I was updated then) and today it's busted.

Fantasticar is meant to be on list of Supports we can't use in PvP. Of course who actually knows?

Please can you stop the over heating/battery issue. I played 15mins of PVE and my battery dropped about 40%! Plus now when I check my battery usage it puts the game on the restart menu!

They'll have that fixed by the end of August. They had the much more important extra token bug to deal with which got an immediate hot fix. Pun completely intentional.

Isn't this exactly the sort of thing @Scofie called out the other day?

Just go back to the old engine at this point. Unity was a terrible idea.

The game lag was so bad, I actually had to turn off a few graphic-intensive features like "Character Effects", "Play Effects Once Per Match" and "Tile Physics" just to improve the experience. You can find these in the home page by tapping the gear icon on the top left of the screen or, if you're in the middle of a match, by hitting the Pause icon at the top center of the screen and selecting "Options." Doesn't do much, but it softens the blow a bit.

Some things I noticed with this update:

1. The tiles are blank when you start a match. But they do load up the character icons/logos after all the tiles are neatly settled.
2. In multi-enemy matches like "The Big Enchilada" in Deadpool Dailies (which has six enemies in one wave), one of the downed enemies stays visible in the lineup. Say the starting roster consists of two Sentinel Vanguards and one Sentinel Seeker. After you down the Seeker, the new enemy stepping in is Captain Marvel, but Seeker stays in the lineup even though it was just downed. The intended behavior would have been for Seeker to be erased from the lineup.
3. Be very cautious with quick tapping. You may inadvertently go straight into a battle when you've yet to customize your roster. This has happened to me a couple times already, the first of which was with "Dat Required Character" from Deadpool Dailies. After tapping "Enter" a few times to get into the roster setup, the game strangely took me straight to the battlefield - I didn't even get a chance to review my roster, let alone change a character to allow them to slow-heal.

Took about 15 mins to complete deadpools daily. Ipad too hot to continue, battery dropped from 100% to 84%. Hour later, 10 pve battles took 20 mins (used to complete 50 wins in 30 mins). Had to close game again, iPad burning up, battery now 64%.

@UnityGamer please tell me this has been your forum tag for years and you now are unfortunate enough to bear the moniker of ‘it-that-shall-not-be-named’ 😂

Okay, so pvp is completely broken now. I'm in slice 2 and my alliance mates across all slices are reporting the same issue, the game will only show you teams worth a few points as if you've climbed really high and broken mmr, except this is happening almost immediately.

It was a slog to climb to 500 points because the game will only show me 5 point teams and an occasional double digit team.

I guess everyone will have to go for 50 wins, because nobody is climbing over 1200 with things how they are.
