Hi everyone,
As promised a few days back, in the Character Rebalance Plan post - here’s word from Marvel Puzzle Quest Lead Designer, Dave Guskin regarding the first set of character updates. Preview screenshots are included.
-
"Today is the start of the Versus offseason, and announcement day for character rebalances.
First, an update - we’ve reviewed your feedback from last week’s message about our rebalance philosophy, and we’ve heard your concerns about nerfing existing characters. So with this release and for the time being, we’ll focus only on releasing updates to existing characters that increase that character’s power. We’ll be keeping an eye on how the competitive experience develops with these changes.
Characters to be updated when Season XXXII starts –
Silver Surfer (Skyrider)
We decreased the cost of Silver Surfer’s expensive powers, added the ability to choose a color for charged tiles created in Perfect Being, increased damage numbers for Cosmic Beam, and added massive damage upon Silver Singularity’s completion.
The Hulk (Totally Awesome)
We added increased damage (with backup tile destruction) to Mastermind Excello, converted See the Math of It into a passive to activate more reliably, and reworked Hot Dog Stand to remove the drawbacks and create Charged tiles rather than convert tiles.
We expect these updated characters to play and feel more powerful, but we may continue to make course corrections to them as needed."
