Upcoming Patch Notes - R61

Hi everyone,
Here’s are preview notes for the upcoming R61 Patch. As always, any information below is subject to change before release:

Gameplay

    • Team-Up tiles shattered in a cascade now reward the proper amount of Team-Up AP.
  • Fixed a couple of rare cases where multiple help pop-ups appearing at once could block progress in the Tutorial.
  • Fixed a situation where you could wind up with missing character and tile graphics, preventing you from playing, if you lost network connection at a particular moment when first starting the game.

UI

    • Added a confirmation dialog when spending Hero Points to recall characters that you’ve sent to help your alliance mates.
  • Fixed a rounding error that caused the cost to recall characters that you’ve sent to help your alliance mates to be slightly too high.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause the number of tokens shown on the Recruit Heroes button to become out of sync with the number of tokens you actually have.

Character

    • Loki’s Trickery now converts all enemy Protect tiles to friendly Strike tiles (instead of a maximum of 4).
  • Fixed a bug where Black Panther’s Battleplan would create 6 Strike tiles instead of 3 if you fired it when you had exactly 12 Team-Up AP.
  • When Punisher’s Retribution triggers Deadpool’s Life of the Party, the damage done to Deadpool will now be based on Deadpool’s health, instead of the health of the character Punisher targeted.

Android Only

    • Greatly reduced the size of the initial download on Android.
  • You’re now taken to the correct page when you accept a Facebook invitation to play MPQ on Android.

So, any ETA on updating the token pool?

“Upcoming Patch Changes” is an ambiguous title that could be referring to either changes in the R61 patch or changes to the character named Patch

Please try to avoid ambiguity

“Upcoming Patch Notes” does just fine.

That would be marked as “Upcoming Wolverine (Patch) Changes” in that case. I get the confusion though. icon_e_smile.gif

Agreed. Changed. icon_e_wink.gif

Really would like an update on the inclusion of new characters in the token pool.

Deadpool
Captain Marvel
Beast
She-Hulk
Colossus (soon)

That’s five characters we can’t get in heroics. Those upcoming season 10 packs are basically worthless.

Did Loki not already do that already? Description looked like it did, and people use him with Patch a LOT for that reason. Never did myself until recent Loki PvP. My Patch only makes 4 ATM so maybe that’s why I didn’t notice a problem.

Also, Battleplan is Yellow

It is/was a problem converting Falcon’s tiles.

You are correct. Thanks for the catch. Fixed.

Like after a Falcon boost or like post Bird Strike?

Post Bird Strike. Loki would only convert some of the tiles.

Wow. Y’all really getting a lot of stuff done this month. Kudos.

if we aren’t getting a new PvE event soon, can we at least rerun Deadpool? It will seem fresher than the rest

These were some of my favorite bugs icon_e_smile.gif

Aww, I have to admit that I exploited the Retribution+Life of the Party bug a lot in the previous PVE in the 3x Deadpool nodes.

Watch retribution not actually kill DP when he’s under 40% now. (though there is a pretty narrow band between 40% of his health at 2720 and retribution’s 2k something attack

Good point. Also, have only had one run of Sentry PVE. It would be nice/interesting twist if either could only use Dark Avengers or Dark Avengers were the only buffed characters.

Two good patches in a row. Naysayers be damned!

Thanks for the information Hi-Fi! icon_e_biggrin.gif

these notes dont include the obligatory stealth changes that are thrown in there and never talked about…ever.

naysayers Yeah!!!

What, pray tell, “stealth changes” were there in the last patch?
