what happened to Salazar?

This did:
How did Captain Salazar die?

After toying with Sparrow, Salazar pierced Jack through the chest with the trident in an attempt to kill him. … As Barbossa, Jack, Carina, and Henry attempted to escape by climbing the Black Pearl’s anchor, Salazar’s now mortal crew drowned.

Any chance you guys could… leak a hero via emojis at the end of every Q&A starting with this one? Like, a character that is not in the files at all?

(I’m talking about Dr. Drakken and another comedic character…)

[Winterbotton]

Not sure if we can talk about the DATAMINED Lumiere that disappeared as he come in the past. But if you can share something about him we will appreciate it.

• Are there any plans to release a new hardy focused character? (I don’t mean like Mr. Big who just uses hardy in one skill, I mean like a character that uses hardy as main “feature”)
• Since a quick win would not really allow you to score many points from the challenger rules anyway, are there any plans to remove the quick fight bonus? I just find it weird that some heroes are used everywhere literally just to make the fight longer than 15 seconds
• About challenger points from rules, they seem to be highly inconsistent. So… how do the scorings work here?

1. Eventually, yes.
2. Quick win bonus points exist so players can’t cheese their defending lineups with 1 low leveled hero. It may not be perfect, but we’re going to keep it for the time being.
3. We try to balance the Bonus Points each season so players don’t get waaay too many or waaay too few points. They can be inconsistent from team to team but they are balanced to be worth going for each season.

I meant he was supposed to be in the game, so where did he go?

[Victory_1515]

I heard Lumiere disappeared from DH’s files and was missing while two years.
What happened to the development of Lumiere?

[Champion_David]

Uh…I didn’t know Salazar was of the PotC…or that he was being considered?

We got crazy dude, psycho dude, crab lady goddess, and tentacled thing. What on earth could this Salsazar guy bring to the table?

(Yes I misspelled it on purpose.)

It can depend on the hero but from conception to putting them in the game, usually 6-12 months. It can be years in a select few cases.

@Miguel_DLXXV

How do choose the in-game designs for heroes that wear different outfits in their respective film? For example, why did you choose to make Hiro Hamada in his “regular urban look” while Baymax, Honey Lemon and Wasabi are in their superhero suit ?

We decide where in their journey they are most represented as having all the skills that we want them to have, and choose based on that.

Such as who?

@Kira

Q: I wonder, which of you at PerBlue are a dog person or a cat person? :-).

Why make me choose! I love them both

@Leaf

As for Women’s History Month, as a woman myself I feel like I dropped the ball on specifically planning to release lady heroes during this time period. I’ll be more careful about this in future years. We may still get one yet this year, but nothing is definite until we announce it.

This has made my whole day.

Intersting ! Can we know which hero has the record of the longest development ?

[Musketeer]

Could something be said about Dr. Drakken, he was leaked in-game, appears in data as ready, why he still wasn’t released? Same problems as Kim?

[DoubleBeans]

Unfortunately, no, she will not be in Disney Heroes. Sorry, we’d love to have her too.

another comedic character…

YES PLEASE

[Spark]

[Ashley_Spinelli]

Yes. It is. Did… Did you seriously not know this?

[Winterbotton]

I forget something. Better now that later.

The modes like City Watch, Surge and Heist use the City map but since we have now the Hub. This can be used as alternative map in the future?
