    Couldn't be. Players actually want him added.
    True. I want him so bad.

    But if they don't add him now, I don't think there will be a future time for that, having the volume 2 events in mind...

    It's called Blu-Ray release date. Like Mordo with Dr. Strange. I'd call it 75% Yondu with Blu-Ray, 25% Nebula. Or 70%, 25%, then 5% Mantis.

    Same.

    Had a terrible crash hopping for 1200 yesterday at end of Top Gun PVP too. Cost me placement and boosts and etc... could(n't) believe it.

    Also not sure I like the new UI when clicking on a tile accidentally. It brings up the explanation of the tile but then the x is way up in the top since the explanation is so big...

    I also found Spidey Super Stories issues 21, on one of the last pages, it had a joke about a chicken. The Wit of the Web-Slinger, Spidey says "Stop me if you've heard this one!" On which side does... a chicken have more feathers?   I give up.     On the outside. Sqwawk! On cover was Spider-Man and Doc Oc.

    On my tablet the update wasn't in the Android store.  I opened MPQ, Great News, there's a forced update.  In the past there has been a skip option, I didn't see it this time.

    Thank the stars there wasn't an Android version of the iOS mishap.

    • Matching a Fortified tile will now generate AP, deal damage, and activate trap and Countdown tiles when applicable.
    Does this mean something like X-23 purple trap tile can be triggered multiple times?

    I.e. you match a fortified trap tile, it triggers and loses the fortified status but remains on the board?

    I really like how you guys guessing that (great) characters, when you all know that they are not going to be implemeted in the game.
    We all know that new character are:
    - not Xmen
    - main characters in MCU movies (and by this I really mean MCU, so not Fox, not 21th century and so on...)
    - main character in Netflix series
    - remake of all classic character who we all love by that NEW childish variants, just because Marvel needs to promote new comics (like: All new Wolverine, all new Thor, all new Hulk, ... Gwenpool,
    - will be in next MCU movies: Inhumans,
    - will have new series: Cloak and Dagger...

    who did I miss?

    Seriously tell me, when did we get character, who was not in this patters (linked by Marvel itself) ???

    Maybe original Dark avengers from times more than 3 years ago?
    Correct me, if Im wrong (actually I will be glad).

    4* Blade.  Wasp.  Agent Venom.  Agent Coulson (yes, TV, but not new and it wasn't even at season start).  Captain Marvel (yes, movie forthcoming, but hasn't even started filming).  None are "childish" although Blade and Capt Marvel are variants.  Most are even very useful.

    They have a new character every two weeks.  There are not enough shows or movies to just try to synergize with those....

    I note that there is an (obscure to me) character named Echo, an associate of Daredevil, whose name seems to fit the clue.

    For everyone having problems with the update, which device are you on?  I'm not updating until I get some confirmation it is safe.

    It seems to indicate that.  I haven't tried it with a trap (getting a fortified trap tile is possible, but not trivial), but @Ducky and I tested it with 4* Deadpool purple, 4* Medusa red, and 4* Wolverine yellow, all of which produce countdowns that have an effect when matched.  All three of them produced their effect as if they had been matched normally and lost their fortification, while the countdowns remained on the board.

    I'm burying the lede here a little: I haven't tested it yet, but this will be huge for 4* Rocket and Groot green.

    You can't say "no new characters are X-Men" and then "they haven't deviated from this since the Dark Avengers were released 3 years ago" and look at the plethora of X-Men actually in the game and consider this a serious argument. The fact that we haven't had any X-Men recently doesn't invalidate that we DO have a decent number of X-Men in the game, and that the last time we had X-Men we had so many new ones in a row that people got tired of them. Yes, there are numerous X-Men characters people would like that aren't in the game. X-Men are still roughly 10% of the characters we have.

    Are you here to have a discussion, or to just be angry and kick up dirt at nothing? Based on the tone of your post, I'd suspect the latter. (especially since the given clue for this release heavily points at ONE character that doesn't fit any of your criteria)

    I'm not in complete agreement with Phillipes, but he has a bit of a point (I just don't think he's making it well). We got Captain Marvel around the time her comic series was getting relaunched for the 4th(?) time. I'm sure well get the 5* version when the movie comes out. Coulson still counts as a TV character even though it wasn't at the start of AoS season. Agent Venom was in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. Cloak and Dagger have a show coming up on whatever they're calling ABC Family now.

    Wasp and Blade are outliers, but there some connection (and I admit this is reaching here, but bare with me). Wasp debuted around the time Marvel launched it's new Wasp series. Though it doesn't star Janet, so it's not a one to one kind of thing. Blade was actually set to have a new series that would have launched around Halloween when we got him. He was supposed to star him and a newly created daughter, but the writer quit the book before it launched due to pressure from twitter.

    Between all the movies, TV shows, cartoons, and comics I think they could do a new character every 2 weeks easily to tie into stuff. This year alone still have:
    Spider-Man: Homecoming that should give us a new Spidey and (fingers crossed) some new villains like Vulture and Shocker
    Inhumans mini series that will probably give us Karnak, Crystal, and (again fingers crossed) Maximus
    Thor Ragnarok that should give us 5* Thor, gladiator Hulk, maybe Valkyrie, and (once again fingers crossed) Hela
    Defenders netflix show could give us a new Daredevil, Jessica Jones, new Elektra, whoever Weaver is playing
    GotG2 dvd release will probably get Mantis or Yondu out there

    That's at least 8 months worth of characters and I'm not counting all the possible characters (Lockjaw!). They just announced a Runaways series and a New Warriors featuring Squirrel Girl comedy show. No idea when those will debut, but it'll give them plenty of new characters to pull from. And the comics are set to have a line wide relaunch in the wake of Secret Empire that I'm sure will give us more variants and new characters. And who knows what cartoons they'll have between now and the end of the year. Marvel is a machine right now.
