David [Hi-Fi] Moore here. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I’m the new D3 Community Manager and I’m excited to be jumping into the game with all of you!
My goal is to listen and feel the pulse of the community, relaying your thoughts and concerns to D3 and the dev teams. I also aim to bring you fresh information and updates as quickly as I can. I’ve been a life-long game-player and I know how important it is to have an avenue for conversation with those behind-the-scenes. Things don’t always work as planned, or aren’t communicated as clearly as possible and this can lead to player frustration. I hope to be the grease on the squeaky wheel…uh…so to speak.
A bit about me. I’ve worked in games journalism; running my own Web Sites and freelancing for others. I’ve also worked extensively in video game quality assurance and production. Like many of you, I grew up reading and loving Marvel Comics. My personal faves being Captain America, Thor and any stories involving The Thing engaged in “Clobberin’.” Anyone remember Master of Kung Fu or Marvel’s version of Conan the Barbarian? Old school awesomeness!
Please bear with me as I get up to speed with Marvel Puzzle Quest (and all of our games here) and get to know you fine folks in the community. I won’t be able to respond to every inquiry, and I won’t have every answer, but I can assure you I will be listening and relaying your pressing issues and excellent ideas to those that need to hear them.
I look forward to working with you all. Excelsior!
Hello, David! Nice to see a Marvel fan and a long-time game lover in such a position.
I guess everyone is curious as to what is delaying the R60 patch.
If you are not curious, shoo, shoo, you got nothing to do here.
And the flood begins!!! BTW, welcome! We’re very happy to have you! I think you’ll do a great job and we appreciate you taking this position as it feels like we are only kinda sorta maybe being heard. Welcome tho!!!
Welcome. Let us know what you need to know. If you know what you need to know, that is. If you don’t know it, you might not know that you need to know it.
Could you address the three errors in the R60 announcement?
Daken: “Changed color strengths from Black/Green/Purple to Black/Purple/Blue.” (Daken’s tile strength is Green/Black/Purple)
X-Force: Surgical Strike damage, 5 covers – starts at 265 damage per tile, maxes out at 270 damage per tile.
Mistakes made in Magneto’s power.
But the old skill is actually the following – the “old” data above is from the level 141 cap, and now we’re at a level 166 cap.
Magnetic Translocation - Purple 10 AP
Exploiting metals buried in the earth, Magneto lifts and moves huge sections of the battlefield, dropping them violently. Swaps up to 5 random Blue tiles with Red tiles. Does 38 damage for each swap. Level Upgrades
Level 2: Swaps up to 6 tiles.
Level 3: Swaps up to 7 tiles. Max damage 457 per swap.
Level 4: Swaps up to 9 tiles. Max damage 640 per swap.
Level 5: Swaps up to 13 tiles. Max damage 745 per swap.

One thing that has upset the community in the past is officially releasing wrong information and not fixing it. This frequently happens when a post is made but comments against it aren’t read. When a person says “I will be listening” but can’t correct obvious errors in official announcements, there is a obvious problem.
Welcome, my initial advice would be to get Nonce’s phone number and give him a call, I am sure he can spend hours giving you a run down of most of the recent complaints/concerns/questions/suggestions.
Only other suggestion for the time being is, be vocal. Don’t fall back into the days when it would be multiple weeks in between communications. People will throw a lot of questions your way, but feel free to ask if there is anything we as a community can help clarify for you while you are getting settled in.
