    Hey folks,

    • Deadpool Dailies are fixed (as you've seen).

    • Latest Legends now has Iron Man instead of Sunspot. (The Customer Service team are going to be fixing things over the next 24-48 hours so if you got a Sunspot instead of an Iron Man, it'll be swapped. You won't need to contact them for this to happen.)

    Mine was still showing Sunspot in the odds for LLs. I had to restart the game to force a server update and get Cosmic IM to show in the odds.

    So check your odds first, and reload the game if necessary.

    Thank you for the updates, fixes, and most importantly, communication! It's very much appreciated, and frankly, what is needed during these trying times.

    Is DPD staying at this new time or is it going back to when it was before?

    Looks like new DDQ timing coincides with the new dev time zone... :#

    I haven't upgraded my iOS because I heard the liquid glass thing is super annoying. I never upgrade unless I need to though lol, I'm on 15.x. Don't care about new stickers and notes.

    Looks like some of us will be burning the MIDNIGHT OIL.

    I've always tried to avoid burning the MIDNIGHT OIL. I could never contain the fire for when the BEDS ARE BURNING at the BLUE SKY MINE.

    It is weird that BCS would create rotate latest legendary image button and not link it to actually rotating the contents of the store. The person that programmed that was definitely thinking of their future and creating job security.

    I'm guessing there wasn't specifically a button. They're just simplifying for humour sake.

    But I'm no game designer so who knows

    Funnily enough it is a button. BCS sent a box of buttons responsible for different game functions as part of the handover, but didn't label them.

    Basically a cardboard box with like 900 of these in it and a note that said "good luck"

    Oh hell, no wonder it's not working.

    This is a box of knobs, not buttons.

    Sigh. Why did 2026 have to get even worse?

    It coincides with:

    1. while the devs were sleeping in Aussieland, players noticed there was no DDQ to play
    2. Devs show up in office approx 10-11 hours after players have no DDQ
    3. Devs (presumably) scramble in panic mode trying to figure out exactly how to add a DDQ weeklong event to the game and do so, putting it in game ASAP

    I am currently expecting it to be back to normal next week. There will probably be an overlap as a result.

    The darn thing takes like 10 minutes to clear depending on your roster and how many nodes you play...,.it's no big deal. We still have 24 hours.

    We actually have been poking around at this because we were aware when we were introduced to MPQ that stability/performance was a huge problem. There's definitely no silver bullet, and it's going to be a combination of finding smaller things we can do to alleviate the problem at least a little bit in the short term, and longer term things that require us to pull stuff apart in the background like gremlins without breaking anything in the live game until we're confident it won't do that...

    Great to hear. Good luck, as a dev myself, I know things can be tough. Especially if you inherit a code base... and especially if you inherit a broken code base... 😅

    Many have said that 26.2 made things worse for crashing. Not sure but I am avoiding it.

    Yeah i didn't update either. But my device is a few years old, my ipad might not be eligible for those newer OS'es anyway. But I figure a match-3 game should not be a problem... (and it never had been until the new engine xD)

    @Seph1roth5 @bluewolf @DeNappa

    I actually went to 26.2 and it isn’t crashing more often, but yeah that liquid glass thing feels weird…

    Question: I pulled a Sunspot cover and applied it. Will that be taken away when the replacement IM cover is distributed? Just curious.
