Small UI change [Flashing VIP] [Merged Thread]

So it updated on steam today, and i noticed they put the Shield resupply button on the left side now instead of right, might be nothing but i’ve known this game enough that they never change things like that without a reason.

Mod Edit: Merged threads, clarified title.

I noticed that the game had a ~52MB update on Steam yesterday, but that’s the only difference I could find. I doubt moving a button would require that much space, so I assume there’s more going on in the background somewhere.

Too bad they couldn’t take the time to fix the countdown delays instead of moving a button, am I right?

The new patch has shifted the daily resupply from right to left.

Everytime something like this was done, it was done to accommodate major mechanics changes. For example, when they shifted the size of the Stars on the character page, it was in preparation of introducing the new 5* tier. When they adjusted the lazy 3* blinking, it was before the champ system was introduce.

So what do you think is the new feature?

My Guess is that it Is going to be the new “monthly subscription” supply.

If it is, I’m ready!

I have about the same amount waiting. icon_e_biggrin.gif

Ha! I will also be paying with my google survey results rewards. Unfortunately I don’t make a lot of money from those, so I’ll probably just pay once, and then maybe again in 4-5 months.

I’m humming the words to ‘Won’t get fooled again’

There’s nothing in the game
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the button on the right
Is now the button on the left

Meet the new rewards
Same as the old rewards

My WAG is for some sort of VIP status indicator.

After the patch, the screen flashed for a second and I saw a purple button on the right of daily resupply with the word “Join”.

Monthly subscription?? What the frag is that? Are you saying this game is going to start asking for a monthly payment or my rewards suffer? If that’s the case, I may finally switch to “Future Fight” or something. That game already has WAAAY more characters (Jessica Jones for one) and for like 5$ you can get a lot. I’m pretty tired of this “free” game nickel and dime-ing me to death! They still haven’t adjusted ISO prices since adding a zillion 4-5*s, even though most players with even decent rosters need MILLIONS of ISO to fill their roster.

Free re-roll of tokens for those who have paid? The ability of breaking down duplicate characters for champion purposes could be another.

So with the move of the “Daily Resupply” tab to the left, it’s pretty clear that some new button is going on the right. Upon startup today, after the IM/Cap screen and before the spinning half circles, the menu screen flashed briefly and showed a new, circular blue button with “VIP” on it. Has anybody else seen this? Any ideas/speculation on what it will be?

Or maybe just that thing they sent around a survey about?

got a screenshot?

Sadly, no SS. It flashed very fast and I wasn’t ready. Been trying to recreate it, unsuccessful thus far. It’s worth noting that a friend of mine saw it a day before I did.

I saw it as well. It was in the upper right corner and looked like it was a purple icon with maybe green lettering that said “Join VIP”. It was there for a split second. Too hard to screenshot.

Join VIP. I saw it as well. So.. VIP means 10,000 extra ISO per month? Thanks… ? icon_e_confused.gif

I’m sad because I know that as much as we hem and haw about it, millions of people will toss in money for it, and it will be considered a success by the suits running the corporation.

I’m assuming (maybe poorly) that this is related to the survey that came out a month or so back asking if we’d spend either $9.99 or $14.99 for a monthly reward bundle. If that’s the case, I wonder what the results of the survey were, and what price point it will take to become ‘VIP’?

I’m sure we’ll find out from an in-game announcement when it’s pushed live.
