Hi folks!

This will be the thread of this week. Not posting too much this morning as we're catching up, but will post anything we've got coming up here.

Apologies for not posting last week about our public holiday yesterday. It's our usual practice to tell our communities when we have holidays coming up, but I just forgot to do that for you this time.

    We're back at it today, but I don't know how much longer the AO is going to be running today because it's gonna be 113f/45c here in Melbourne today! 🫠

    Wasn’t there a female mutant who could produce icecream (it came out of her rectum, don’t blame me but the Marvel writers)
    She would come in handy , just never ask for chocolate!

    Upside down and backward is fine, at least Oz is always shown on maps, ...unlike my country...

    Edit: spelling

    Another little thing to check into, the Alliance Chat. When typing certain symbols/punctuation, like the percent % or underscore _ then it comes out differently or as a space.

    Would be nice if that gets fixed. Thank you.

    I mean absolutely no offence in saying this, but I’m fairly sure that’s near the bottom of their long list of priorities right now.

    I feel like the community as a whole can be quite demanding (probably an understatement). I’m not suggesting you in particular are demanding anything, but we don’t want to scare off the new devs from monitoring the forums just yet…

    I am sure they don’t mind people asking about issues they find annoying or would like to be fixed.

    Hopefully there is some bug/problem list that got passed along from the old guys, but I’m guessing they did not. Luckily the official discord still has a Bugs section which hopefully IP2 have explored, along with the forum Bug section.

    Yeah, of course their priority list is not putting fixing chat up very high, but it’s still a thing that would be nice to see.

    You can’t decide on priorities properly without knowing what they are as well as what people would like to see fixed.

    I'm happy that my chat is working again. Until about 7 days ago the chat would be empty when you restarted the game. Now I can see old messages again (going back 99 days)!

    That's why I said little thing.

    @TheMigz are we ever getting the correct seasonal vault or an answer on how this will get resolved? Haven’t used token all season waiting for it.

    Do we need to send a CS ticket to swap a 3as4 we pull for the correct one if we pull with drastically lower odds? Or what? Would like some resolution before the season and thus vault ends.

    Thank you

    Congrats to IP2 for making it through your first 4 weeks.

    You have:

    • Released two new characters, including a "Welcome" event.

      • Fixed bugs related to those characters (Shards of Fu Xi)
    • Released a MPQ App update (R337)

    • Had several stories, versus and Deadpool Daily events. (and a Boss event!)
    • Started a new Season, including Event quests.
    • New vaults including Fan Favorite which is appreciated.

    It seems like you are getting closer to finishing up the "Finding Our Feet" stage.
    Has it been bumpy? Yes, but that was expected.

    When is the next App update expected?

    • Will it fix the flashing on iOS 26 (use Unity 6000.3 instead of 6000.1)
    • Will it improve performance, battery drain, hot phones?
    • Do you have enough crash report samples to identify a pattern?
    • Will it delete all assets, and force us to download everything again (BCS introduced that)

      • This causes unneeded lag in the game, and data usage by 1GB+
    • Will it fix hanging/freezing issues caused by network blips?

    • Will Today's News ever work?

    I assume a new update and a new character will happen next week.
    We all appreciate the communication, even when you do proceed to your "Mid Term" phase, please keep the weekly posts going.

    Regarding the flashing freeze on iPhone it seems to have been solved by the iOS 26.2.1 update, at least on my iPhone 15 anyway.

    They responded in another thread (page 4) saying they won’t be correcting the vault for those of us that have the wrong one.

    But @TheMigz I’m going to second this question also about what we should do if we end up pulled the ascended character… which just happened to me. So I now have three copies of 3Magik4 (although my newest one is still on my vine just in case). Should I email CS to try to get it swapped for one of the ascendeds that’s in the “real” vault)?

    That link says they are discussing the make up for it. But @IceIX said at the start of the season the token IDs were the same, so just launching the vault would make the tokens usable for both. Wondering why they don’t pick the easiest solution? It can’t take a whole month to come to an answer, right?

    Yes, it would be annoying for people that mistakenly spent on the wrong vault to get access to the right one when they’ve spent it all, but that was their choice not to wait. And I’m sure some comp could help.

    I just want to be able to say

    Thank you
