R166 Release Notes *Updated (11/21/18)

In the past, there has been a display issue with BH sometimes where you saw the bonus cover first, then the actual cover you received. This has caused a fair amount of confusion. Maybe this change addresses that, to make sure the BH always displays second.

That is all well and fine, i was just trying to draw attention to the display itself, as the change is rather significant. Instead of a bright big cheerful yellow claim button in the center, there is now a tiny blue one to the right bottom corner. I got invisible woman and let me tell you the little blue button did not show up well against her blue uniform. Especially as i didnt immediately know where to look for it. From now i know where to look for it, so it wont be a surprise (or cause for worry).
And i just thought it would be nice to mention such changes in advance, like in the release notes…

Mr Sinister
Mr Negative

Or better yet, Stan Lee!

A bad influence should be 5* Deadpool to go along with once apon a Deadpool release

[Malcrof]

5* Fred Savage in honor of PG-13 Deadpool!

5* Fred Savage in honor of PG-13 Deadpool!

The first DC crossover character Vandal Savage confirmed!

[Ptahhotep]

An anagram of influence is F nine clue. So it must be a female character associated with nine. Number Nine must be the new character.

A bad influence.
Well typhoid Mary has multiple personalities and one of them is a bad influence.
So let’s go with Typhoid Mary.

The BH screen has changed a bit, you no longer press ‘claim’ and then Surprise! you get a bh, instead, in place of the claim button there is a blue little skip fwd button to the side, that takes you to the bh that you got. I almost had a heart attack when i didnt see the claim button!

You might have wanted to mention this in the notes Brigby.

Were you opening a single token or one of the 10x/40x packs? Those packs have always had the blue fast forward buttons, so that pack opening is expedited, and any bonus heroes acquired are shown at the end of the sequence.

Could it be possible that you coincidentally clicked on that button when it was the last token opened, thus showing you only bonus heroes for the remainder of the covers?

“Bad” influence…Michael Jackson has that rad black jacket on the cover of the Bad Album that looks like the jacket Longshot used to wear…5* Longshot incoming?

No, no packs, i just had a few pulls in the classic legends store for 20 cp each. I thought id give lady fortune a chance to favour me with a balckbolt since i dont have one for the upcoming 7day event. I only did 6 pulls (2 of which came with a bh (YAY!), and both instances had the little blue button instead of the yellow claim.) As i had just upgraded to the r166 right before logging in, i thought this was a new feature?! Sorry if its not, but i’ve never seen this version before.

Hmm that’s odd. I’ll have to dig around, as I’m unaware of any changes to the Bonus Heroes display, and my brief test yielded its same previous behavior.

(Congrats on 2 Bonus Heroes though! )

[Jormagund]

Lots of x-heroes yet, maybe an x-villain to ballance the playing field somewhat, Matermind, Lady Mastermind, Cassandra Nova?

[ThaRoadWarrior]

Maybe it’s finally Omega Red with his Death Factor

2 bonus Heroes for me as well. One from a heroic token, and one from an elite token. Both gave me the blue skip button as well

[Legasher]

Both Scarlet Witch and Black Cat influence events by affecting probability, and Prowler was a bad influence on Miles at the beginning… so with ItSV coming out he seems like a reasonable choice too. So those are my guesses.

But a new Doom would also be cool, or any of the other big bads that pull off elaborate schemes.

[ThaRoadWarrior]

Black Cat actually has powers? I guess I didn’t really know her deal

Yeah, I got a BH today and it was the same for me.

If they’re sticking with the X-Men theme, perhaps Magick? She hasn’t been the best influence on others, and has been the subject of bad influence.

[swordfishdata]

OOh, I’m gonna go with Killgrave, from JJ - the ultimate bad influence
