Avengers Alliance - Part 5

[Dark Raven]

Why do they always drop it so late?

Why do they always drop it so late?

Not sure why. You'd think they would drop it early so there'd still be people around to fix anything that might be wrong with it.

 

[Morg]

Guess no go tonight, it's 9 pm and nothing

 

[zeroapoc]

Well this is another black mark for this SO. They let the article go ahead saying it was launching today and still missed it. What the heck is going on there these days?

They still have a little under an hour so it's not completely hopeless but it's looking more like tomorrow. I still have no idea what exactly they're putting in this SO that is causing such a delay. I'm wondering if some of PD's behind-the-scenes business stuff is starting to affect the MAA development team and they had less manpower than usual to get stuff done.

 

[zeroapoc]

I've been wondering that as well. They've said it the past they were unaffected, and with Tactics failing I thought they would have all they needed for MAA. Who knows though?

 

[Dark Raven]

Well no hope for tonight. Even if it did come out it's too late to play.

“My info came straight from the company, so if it doesn't go live today, that was at least the plan. All I can say is that the plan was to launch it today.”
“I was embargoed on the news until this morning, so I feel confident they at least planned to go live today.”
“I'll be more careful with my wording in the future, but I just dealt with the info I was given.”
“My PR contact is very helpful so I will reach out tomorrow and see if I can update. If I get anything I'll tweet and update the post.”

I think something is indeed going on at PD that's causing the development team to have such problems releasing a new SO when they've proven before that they could release them in a more timely manner. I'm not sure what the exact issue is but I sure as heck don't believe everything is hunky dory right now there. With how communicative Producer Woods was before other releases and how little he is now on MAA Insiders, something is most definitely wrong with this release and at Playdom.

 

[Dark Raven]

Either it's a business thing or a severe technical issue that keeps causing the SO to crash. Ironic that the horse can't even get a stable SO.

 

[GeneralAntilles]

I wonder if there is an issue from higher ups with Enchantress being a lockbox character. I hear rumors she may be FemThor so maybe someone is worried if she's made a hero that will be confirmation before the comics confirm it themselves so they want it delayed.

Are you saying that in the comics, Enchantress is FemThor?

Do we know who she is at all in the comics yet? Or has it not been revealed? Is it another situation a bit like Red Hulk and Red She-Hulk where they keep you guessing?

I don't see why that would be confirmation though. Having Enchantress as a lockbox hero is no different from having Moonstone, Dr Doom, Kang, Loki or Hybrid as lockbox heroes, so why would anyone think differently about her?

No, nothing has been confirmed. It's just a theory at the moment

No idea, apparently the May 2015 issue will reveal who FemThor is

I don't know, maybe they planned to have FemThor alts for her to or something.

 

[Jick]

SO is up.

Can Dark Raven stop with the annoying horse puns, now?

What, that was just the prelude.

Glad it's up though.

 

[DawnWarrior]

Narration says something about The Worthy. Those would be the bad guys from "Fear Itself", would they not?

And we're back in the Savage Land to fight some dinosaurs. I hate these guys.

 

[Dark Raven]

Yeah, those dinosaurs that bite you are the most annoying. And the ones who give you mental anguish. It feels a bit like a retread of the Savage Land SO at the moment. The last SO was a retread of the GOTG one. All this time they took and we don't have something new?

 

[GeneralAntilles]

The refactor for Loki seems nice. Can pretty much do all his moves on his first turn.
Enchantress is much the same way, all quick action debuffs with one offensive attack move

Bill seems nice from the one mini boss battle I've used him in.

And the dinosaurs seem a lot weaker this time. Magneto and Phoenix were on hit killing most of them, don't think I got hit more than twice in the whole run.

 

[zeroapoc]

Cool. Hela is the last boss.

 

[Dark Raven]

Apparently the deploy heroes are Heimdall, Falcon and Thing. That's two 200 CP heroes there. Why not someone cheaper? At least I don't have to get Thing.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Got the 8 hour research going so I won't be playing SO until shortly after midnight. Also, wish I would have waited to collect from my allies since UIso are dropping right away. Usually they wait until the next server reset after a SO goes live to put UIso in.

Why do you need to wait? If you have someone training, then just don't use that character in the SO. You could still start it now and use someone else other than Karolina Dean (whom I presume is the one training?).

 

[General Mike]

Good to know. I'll only need to buy Heimdall and I have enough CP to cover that price.

 

[Dark Raven]

Good to know. I'll only need to buy Heimdall and I have enough CP to cover that price.

I would wait a little bit just for official confirmation. It has been confirmed in various threads on Playdom, but no actual screenshot yet.

I wasn't really planning to get either just yet, and hoped we would actually get a PVP hero and a 90 CP hero that I could recruit.

Oh yeah. I never buy until I get to the stage where the epic deploys are.
