Marvel Puzzle Quest R244 Release Notes (1/5/22)

Just updated today, and I'm seeing it. It feels like the game is about to crash. When you make a match with an invisible character, it's very noticeable.

Man Today's Puzzle ops is a pain in the **** specifcally the make a column of strike tiles against Mantis and Daken. I've tried with Silk 10 times and I can't get it. Also the get 4 fortifed titles in the corner is a pain too.

I looked at the reward and decided to even bother. 

my Blackbird is level 3 so I am fine skipping this 

Developer 1: Did you read that thread about person-to-person PvP instead of playing against the AI?

Developer 2: Yeah, what about it?

Developer 1: Well, I figured, how about if we replaced the AI in both PvP and PvE? So, I created a version where I switched out the backend, and we're ready to go live with it. 

Developer 2: Bro! You have to put it through testing first! Who are you replacing the AI with?

Developer 1 side glances the man in the janitor closet. The man in the janitor closet pauses, nods once.

Strike tiles wasn't so bad (3rd try). The key is her black which makes strikes on a specific color (green). You have to wait till you get a column with all other colors having strikes other than green and then fire her black 1 (or more times).

The 4 corners is a LOT harder. I retreated a few times as soon as a TU tile got into a bottom corner. Letting Misty fortified repeater hit the bottom in a corner really helps (as does her blue or black if you get a luck strike in a corner for Prowler to fortify). Misty Red is the annoying power because it always seems to blast the bottom corners when you have them fortified. I finally won when I had 3 corners finished and her repeater dropped into the last top corner (I was about to fire blue and black if it hadn't and hope for a lucky fortify).

I first tried the fortified corners one with Silk, but she's too powerful. If you fire her powers without managing to get fortified tiles in the corners immediately, she'll just start destroying web tiles and down the opponents too quickly. I found it much easier with Magneto. Get rid of team-ups with red and put down a lot of protect tiles and wait for Prowler to fortify the right ones. Storm would likely work well for this too. 

I've ended up with a R5 Blackbird (I think it previously was just R1) and R2 Sharon Carter (the last support I didn't have, except for the stones of course), so I'm happy with those rewards.

P.S. It's Monica not Misty. I imagine Misty would be a lot harder for this as she'd be using her green to get rid of fortified tiles.

I used cage for the corner one. Didn't really need to do anything but make matches and wait.

Update on the lag - there is in a fix place that will go live tomorrow.  Please make sure you update to R244 to have the fix implemented at that time.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

I haven’t noticed any lag the last couple of days so this is apparently fixed. Thank you for your quick response on this.
