It’s that spooky time of year - ya know, that time of year just before people start to try and ice skate up-hill. Both ways. In the snow.
It’s also time for a look at what’s in the R63 update!
Team-Ups - - Enemy Team-Ups are now displayed on the pre-battle Boost Select Screen.
Alliance sent Team-Up Abilities now display proper level stats when viewed in battle.
Team-Up abilities gained from certain Prologue enemies now display correct level stats when obtained. Character Changes - - Colossus now stays out of combat intead of leaping to the front while Invisible and Immovable Object is active.
Characters that are Airborne now no longer count down their own tiles until they land.
Invisible characters may now still attack if the rest of their team is stunned and they are not. Alliances - - The Player/Alliance Rank display in the top left corner of chapter maps now links to the player leaderboard.
Fixed multiple issues with third party keyboard support in Alliance chat. UI, Tweaks and Bugfixes - - Countdown tiles are now visually linked to the characters that own them. When you tap on a character, their countdown tile will pulse.
Fixed instances of being able to make an invalid move ending the turn.
Tiles that trigger board destruction abilities when matched, such as Wolverine (X-Force)'s Recovery, now only affect undestroyed tiles.
When an Event has less than 1 unit of time left, it now displays the next lower unit to be more exact (instead of rounding up). For example: 1D 1H will change to 1D 59M instead of staying at 1D 1H until it hits 1D.
When a Countdown tile is Locked by an ability, such as Invisible Woman’s Force Bubble, the Countdown tile will now properly disappear when matched as the final damage on an enemy that placed it.
Suggested matches now display the three tiles to match instead of the two tiles to swap.
Is it possible to slide in a for realzy fix for selling a lot of covers in the cache? I’ve got 402 covers in the cache and it crashes trying to sell all. It was claimed fixed a few patches ago but it’s not actually fixed.
Hate that bug. It’s actually multiple bugs layered one on top of one another that don’t seem to interact causing it. We fixed one that was Android only and only happened when you were logged into Google Play. Fixed that, then fixed one that was across all platforms that had to do with selling over a certain number of the same covers. Fixed that and another version popped up. It’s most annoying. If you haven’t already, please send us a ticket with any applicable information to help us track down this particular version. Device info, account name, all that neat stuff.
Out of curiousity, how much debugging do you do with Bagman to make sure his cocooned tile effects work correctly with all the other tile types? Likewise with Invisible Woman. It seems like they force a high testing requirement for two characters that have been costed into noncompetitiveness.
Ugh, yeah. Both Bag-Man and Invisible Woman’s tiles constantly place weird edge cases on just about any ability that interacts with tiles in a non-standard way. Not to mention that Invisible Woman not only does weird edge cases with Force Bubbles, but she creates more of them with Grant Invisibility too! Our functionality test plan just related to those two characters is probably about equal in size to tests against all the other tile types.
That’s a strong argument for lowering their costs to make them more competitive.
Alternately, it’s a fun argument for testing them less. If a weird Bagman+IW bug sneaks through, who would even notice? And what a fun time it might be for a release or two if someone does spot a hard-to-trigger Bagman bug.
[Devs probably going “Whew – so far no-one has noticed the currently existing Bagman + IW bugs”]
Side note about the News and Announcements board. Is there a reason there are so many stickies? It makes it a bit of a nuisance to try and find the announcements that aren’t stickied, especially when they will end up getting pushed to the second page.
ICEIX, If your still around, I was just wondering, with all the characters coming in, is there an ETA on raising the max number of roster slots? Just curious, I heard that it was planned, but not when. Thanks. JJ
