    Just updating folks on somethings ahead of (our) weekend and it's a mix:

    • We have found the proverbial "Update Latest Legends" button, but most of you are probably aware that getting things from "technically finished in development" and "Live" is a multi-step process. One of those steps is tripping up at the moment. We know the cause, but it's a little too risky ahead of the weekend, so on (our) Monday, we'll get it fixed, and then the things waiting to get past that point will make it out to you folks.

    • The comp we had also got held up due to the above. But we have it prepped and ready to go. This chunk of Comp won't have 6-Star Shards because it turns out they have a process that belongs basically just to them, but we will follow-up with 6-Star Shards.

    • We have had some positive developments on Boss Events, but still needs work. So we're feeling more confident here. Should have proper information early next week about when you can expect to see these fellas back in the wild!

    Even if we don't respond specifically to something up on this Forum right now, we're trying to keep on top of everything coming in. Thank you for reporting, and (as always) we appreciate you.

    I know that our progress probably feels pretty slow, but we will keep putting one foot in front of the other to get to where you need us to be.

    Here's to next week being a little smoother than this one. (Everyone please knock on wood for us, throw salt over your shoulders, sacrifice a stuffed animal or whatever your chosen good luck ritual is.🫠)

    Thanks for the update. It is so incredibly appreciated.

    Also a random request @TheMigz : can you make your profile public? That way we can directly link posts like yours to our other communities via your comments history. I am not aware of any other way to do that on this forum… (forumites please educate me if I am wrong)

    Fair enough. Thank you for trying to get it done by Friday, even if playing it safe until Monday ended up being the smarter decision.

    Thanks for the update.

    Also, you have excellent communication skills, which is what I am most impressed with. I am no longer getting a sense of dread or wondering what was the purpose of the post or after reading a post thinking this fixes nothing from game representatives.

    Classic Legends has rotated.

    Careful what you wish for! Dr Bong and Heimdall tokens for months to come! Guess I'll be saving some CP for the next rotation.

    But yes, the communication in particular is so good to see. I feel like the community has been lost in a desert and we're still stuck in the desert but finally someone has started bringing bottled water on an almost daily basis. I'm surprised there hasn't been more of an outpouring of thanks for the comms, I only held off on the praises because I thought there would be such an on rush as to make my post meaningless.

    I am not seeing this, still seeing Iceman, Jessica, Elektra. No updates available for the app either that I can see. Is there something we need to do to "force" this change?

    Me either.

    The classics briefly described sound like one before though.

    It's so funny. Like 2 days ago everybody was freaking out, the game is dead, everybody has quit, it's all over!

    Then someone from the new guys shows up and gives an explanation for what's been happening (one that many of us had already guessed anyway) and everything is great!

    Nothing has been fixed, nothing has changed, but just the bare minimum of communication has got people back on board. I haven't even seen anybody directly insult the new guy yet, or call for him to be fired!

    This stuff is so easy. It's just insane that two consecutive dev teams have made the same incredibly obvious mistake by not communicating at all.

    I think that's because the comms are buried in a non-pinned 10 page thread. If these were in their own pinned thread, the other 65% of board perusers would be seeing them . . . and also the vocal weevils would be posting to them. So maybe that's for the best ?

    Looking at it again, for me the graphic has updated to Dr Bong, 4Starlord, Wiccan, Heimdal, Colossus, Spider-Man (blacksuit), which does sound like an old selection from first half of 2025. However, if you click the info button it's the old selection of Iceman etc that are showing high odds. Tempting to say only the graphic has changed and not the odds, but I guess we won't know for sure unless we pour some CP in.

    Likewise the graphic for latest is showing Iron Man CI but the odds still show Sunspot.

    My guess is the Classics will rotate to that group next. The polls remain impossible to execute due to the lack of a functioning news window in game to provide a link to an outside site hosting one. Also it’s obviously (?) easier to put in an existing group of weighted characters than make a new grouping, if you’re a new dev team.

    Might as well pull up some old group and offer something different than what we’ve had for months.

    The game has had many instances of people getting weird things like this. Updated graphics early, etc.

    The graphic has reverted to team Iceman for me now. For what it's worth.

    Hi folks,

    Just an update on the next couple of events:

    • 2nd Sword Master Lin Lie PVE (The Hunt) - Running from today
    • Sword Master PVP "Star Pupil" - Running from 13:00 Friday 16th UTC (if my maths is right)
    • 3rd Sword Master Lin Lie PVE (Venom Bomb) - From 10:00 Monday 19th UTC

    Boss Events are still being a little stubborn with us. But we are working on it.

    We're also still working through how to get the Latests and Classics up-to-date. We're hoping to have a resolution to that tomorrow.🤞

    3 topics, if you will.

    1. I would humbly suggest that you begin making some kind of weekly thread each week to be a home for updates as things evolve and you get a handle on things. This thread is a bit old and the pass seems (mostly) solved etc. Also your comments, while being extremely helpful and appreciated, are being somewhat buried amongst all the various other posters; a new thread each week would be great. If that is a thing you are open to.
    2. The next PVE seems to be Venom Bomb. I am not sure exactly how it ties into Sword Master, as no rewards should be coming from it for his release etc, although I believe the new CP store usually debuts next to the 3rd "event" of a release (1st event of the release is the HP store debut and new shards in placement; 2nd event is the one where you earn shards in progression and a token for that new CP store in placement; 3rd event is the one where PVE rewards go back to standard, but the CP store opens up as the event starts and runs for....5 days, I think)
    3. Because Venom Bomb only has a 4 day version with 4 subs (that I can find, certainly for many years), it will run until Friday morning (EST) which will be a day later than PVEs run under the old/standard rule of 7 days of PVE starting and ending in the same slice, always being 7 days. I know there is a lot to learn and mistakes are being made because of it. I don't know if the plan is an overlapping PVE to start Thursday (for most people in the US and in other places, playing in Slices 1-4, Thursday is the day the week starts) or to start one on Friday as Venom Bomb ends. My belief is that a new 4 is going to (scheduled to, under standard release cadence) debut on Thursday, but maybe not this time around. Some communication early about what the plan is would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your updates and efforts to make the game work well.

    Maybe bcs were all former Bethesda programmers
    "We've remastered your favourite game!"
    "It's doesnt even work"
    "Remaster!"

    Todd Howard doing that Donald Trump math where its 2000% improved.

    My mind went to Steiner math.

    They say that all players are created equal, but you look at me, and you look at ThisIsClemFandango, and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally, if you go one on one with another player, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm an MPQ freak and I'm not normal! So, you got a 25%, AT BEST, chance at beating me. Then, you add DonnieBrooke to the mix, your chances of winning drastically go down. See, with three of us in PvP, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because DonnieBrooke KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try!

    So, ThisIsClemFandango, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance, and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning in PVP. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 percent, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning. See, Clem, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you! In M! P! Q!

    Mic drop. Holla if ya hear me!

    On the basis of this post alone, I will never hit you in PvP (again?).

    Or at least for the rest of the day, but perhaps longer if I decide to start looking at IGNs before hitting.

    Genius! 5*
