‘Stylish Kicks’, whoever that is, is not the anniversary character. That’s the one after it.

That is correct. The 3/5 Anniversary character will be someone else we've been constantly requesting.. Red Skull!

That's right! You heard it from Pun. Get ready for 3* Red Skull (Original) and 5* Red Skull (Hydra Symbiote)

Isn't Miles Morales known for his Stylish Kicks?

Indeed.

Glad to see this back.

I love that you're now including the Rebalances on here! This is helpful! Thanks Ice!

Love that they're including rebalances on the calendar.

Hate that the only rebalance for September is...Prowler.

There's a ton of engineering work going into some surprises for the Anniversary, sacrifices had to be made. Or maybe Prowler just stole the code for the other rebalances. Take your pick.

Great! While we're on the topic of balance changes, I don't see one for Chasm listed either. That one's been "coming soon" for like 6 months -- any chance we'll see it this month?

They said "8 weeks"... 8 weeks ago.

Soon. We're currently in the process of writing up an informational dump on the changes while QA does some final balance/tier checks on him to make sure we've got this all right. Want him to be powerful, but not a juggernaut (small j). So yeah, coming.

Surprisingly and probably quite rightly, they don't listen to a single word I've ever written.

And what better way to cap the summer of symbiotes but with Spider-Carnage

Jinx

Personally, I would like to see them round out some of the affiliations by getting the final member of Phoenix 5 and the last 2 Horsemen. And PLEASE, give them some symmetry and stop overlapping their best active colors. We need a Namor that nukes and Horsemen that have blue green and purple that have some synergy with Apoc. Thought Vulture would, but he’s way better on paper than in practice. Far too slow.

Jinx

Even if they came out with a blue/green Namor that had passive damage, multi tap, or buffed specials, he would be great with Majik and Wong.

Jinx

Oops, wrong thread. Thought I was on the What’s New thread

I hope its not another Spider-man Character for the Stylish Kicks one. We have had 4 Spider-man Characters in a Row. Lets take a break from Spidey-Characters please

fnedude

"Stylish Kicks" obviously refers to 5* Dead-Carnage-Pool with fancy shoes. Duh.

Bowgentle

Any chance we'll get the Answer part of the Q&A this week?
The promised "week of september 4" obviously didn't make it.

I was just thinking about this and my 4.5* question which I understand is unlikely to happen ever. Although as Peni is a 3.5%* character maybe there is hope?

It's with the new guy, he doesn't know how to type so it's taking longer.
Sorry he's only just worked out his PC isn't turned on
