Fixes and Optimizations
Heroes
- Rogue Range Protocol: Fixed an issue where turning off target movement in the Practice Range parameters and then starting a training session could still spawn moving bots. We've tightened up the subroutines, they'll stay put now!
- Storm & Thor's Targeting Turbulence: Fixed a visual glitch where the camera animation for the Gods of Thunder (Storm - Thor) base effect Team-Up Ability was unintentionally throwing off aim. The skies are clear and Storm's striking true once again!
- Combat Clarity Upgrade: We've dialed in the visual effects for a lineup of heroes to cut down on battlefield chaos and keep your superhero clashes crisp and clear. These visual optimizations include:
Base Abilities:
- All of Jubilee's base abilities.
Team-Up Abilities:
Vanguard:
• Mr. & Mrs. X (Rogue - Gambit)
• Explosive Entanglement (Rogue - Magneto)
• Voltaic Union (Captain America - Thor)
• Two-in-One (The Thing - Human Torch)
• Gamma Maelstrom (Doctor Strange - Hulk)
• Surf & Turf (Devil Dinosaur - Jeff the Land Shark)
Strategist:
• Vibrant Vitality (Loki - Mantis)
• Planet X Pals (Rocket Raccoon - Groot)
• Mammalian Bond (Rocket Raccoon - Squirrel Girl)
• Oblivion Shroud (Cloak & Dagger - The Hood)
• Favorable Odds (Gambit - Magneto)
Duelist:
• Gods of Thunder (Storm - Thor)
• Storming Ignition (Human Torch - Storm)
• Moonlit Slash (Hawkeye - Cloak & Dagger)
• Squirrel Missile (Squirrel Girl - Iron Man)
• Light & Dark Darts (Psylocke - Cloak & Dagger)
• Devilish Affair (Daredevil - Black Widow)
• Hex Fireworks (Scarlet Witch - Jubilee)
• Prehistoric Trap (Elsa Bloodstone - Devil Dinosaur)
In addition to these, we've optimized the visual effects for lots of other Team-Up Abilities as well. The list is extensive, so we won't detail every single one here; just know the battlefield is looking clean! We'll keep the Scanner running and make ongoing optimizations. As always, we welcome and appreciate your feedback and suggestions!
