    In addition to shields not displaying properly in pvp it also no longer gives the warning that you are about to break your shield if you click on fight. So, if you accidentally graze the fight button with your finger when you weren't actually ready to go into the fight, too bad. Learned that one the hard way this morning.

    Of all the things to prioritize, you would assume this had to be 1a 1b. All the shade aside, let me posit why this is bad for game engagement.

    People aren't gonna be willing to engage in "shield play" (hopping/using multiple shields) if they don't have an easy and reliable to determine how much time left, what shields available. At best, not delaying the shield remaining time encourages players to shield out and disengage from further play in that event.

    I am seeing a lot of the same stuff others have reported, but I actually have 2 strange things happen that I have not seen...

    The ugly one (kind of a big deal): I had opened a couple of Latest Legends tokens and the second was a 5-star Winter Soldier cover. Then, staying on the menu, I scrolled up to purchase a token pull from the Winter In July and pulled a 5-star Iceman yellow cover.

    I went to my roster to look at the covers, saw the Iceman one could only be "Saved" since he is not champed, and his yellow is already maxed at 5. So I turned my attention to the Winter Soldier cover that allowed me to train him to 13 covers, then I promptly level him up and paid the fee to champ him. When I returned to my roster, the Iceman cover was gone. Just vanished without a trace.

    It didn't get saved, because it says 0/3. It didn't get added, because his yellow was already maxed and he cannot be iso'ed up. The CP spent on the pull was also gone because there was less than 10 available.

    I kept playing, thinking he might pop up after a few rounds. No.
    I force quit, cleared the cache, and restarted. No.
    Just gone. And probably nothing I can do about it but grumble here and move on.


    The goofy one (not a big deal): Ever since I bought my current table, I have had it set up on my desk area with the power cord coming out of the top side of the tablet (which is really the bottom of the tablet, but the game allowed me to rotate the screen to play in either direction).

    Once I downloaded the update and launched the new version, the app will no longer rotate, and now I can only play with the cord coming out of the bottom of the tablet.

    Obviously, this is not an actual bug that prevents me from enjoying the game, but it was my first impression of the new engine. Starting the game as I've done countless times, but seeing the logo upside-down was like whatthefudge, that's weird.

    I even checked some other apps on my tablet, and they all rotate just fine. So maybe it is something to do with that missing android button, or that pesky build number in the corner, but the game now refuses to budge in any other direction, when it previously didn't care which way was up.

    At the very least, I can declare that the new engine is more anal-retentive than the previous engine.

    Anyone else see anything similar?

    I'd definitely raise a ticket on the first. As the second into the Bugs section?

    Installed today's update. Still laggy. Stutters on every button press. Every tile move. Every menu switch. On Pixel 7.

    On the positive side: with the new update just now, I can finally level stuff on my roster again without all the ascended 1* and 2* being in the way!
    Also I think the extra token stuff got handled. I don't know if they shut them off completely or that they are back to being 1 per day.
    2 headaches gone, without encountering a new one (knock wood).

    Chucked out of game again. This seems unplayable for me. :s:(

    After the recent patch, I am no longer receiving extra rewards and my players to level filter is fixed. Thanks team.

    Good news after the other thread where I crusaded ...this has destroyed my ability to play and so I maybe gone unless it improves! It has been fun and I hope still will be?!?!? Anyway in case this is it, sorry if I upset you, bored you or gave you reason not to be happy.

    I for one hope you will always be around. The backstories you create are legendary. I have even shown my non MPQ Marvel buddies some of your stuff.
    Honestly, you should consider writing short stories. Get published.
    I saw that your android tablet doesnt work right on MPQ. Mine either.
    Take care Mr Doctor Professor Chairman Sir.

    But you can't leave without finishing the game of thrones reviews.

    how did they come up with releasing this **** version, it's totally unplayable and that thing about how the more you play it the more it fixes itself is pure nonsense, incredible how they ruined a good game.

    This update is atrocious. Can't play multiple matches before it crashes and the game is extremely laggy.

    I have been playing this game for over a decade, ive spent many many hours enjoying it.
    Now that is gone. It keeps glitch going and freezing. When I win a battle, I have to reset the game to get to the next menu. Why? Please bring back the old version!!

    Are the issues people seeing device specific at all? Just wondering because I'm just not experiencing the same things that everyone's reporting (including after today's fix) - no crashes, no game breaking lag. Not trying to gloat or anything like that, I'm just not seeing the same issues so trying to understand (android, samsung z fold 5)

    Except for the slows in fights, I too haven’t encountered any of the grave bugs

    I'm on a Pixel 8 Pro and it was noticeably choppy and laggy after upgrading yesterday, but everything is fine today. I had the roster filtering bug but that was fixed by the patch earlier today.

    Even before the current update my iPhone was playable, not saying great, but playable. It’s better now.
    Before the update my android tablet was useless. Now, it’s an improvement.
    Not crashing. But still glitchy and slow.
    I could probably use it for casual play, but not for placement.

    I finally upgraded. My IPad 10th Generation all my saved teams were wiped and all I got was lots of lag. Other than that no issues playing.
