Patch Notes 4.1.10

[Bluebandit93]

Hi Nugget, Loutre

I respectfully disagree with these statements:

@Nugget

We have never guaranteed Hero refreshes in any specific patch versions.

@Loutre

Nothing has changed. We’ve done this before where we do not have a refresh in a .10 update. This is not new. We will continue doing refreshes, but they are not guaranteed in specific patch versions.

Support below:

@Polaris

Do you plan on doing hero refreshes in the future/near future?

• [DoubleBeans]: We plan on doing a Hero Refresh every “.10” release.

@Loutre

Hero Refresh

Normally, we’d have a hero refresh here, but the hero design team has been focused on new heroes. Hero refreshes will return with the 3.3.10 update!

@Loutre

Hero Refresh

In 3.2.10 we said “Hero refreshes will return with the 3.3.10 update!” and here we are at 3.3.10 but we don’t have a hero refresh ready for you.

@Loutre

We’re excited to announce that we have a Hero Refresh for Basil of Baker Street coming with this update! We know it’s been a while since our last Hero Refresh but we sincerely thank you for your patience and look forward to getting back to our consistent schedule in future updates.

@Loutre

We won’t have a hero refresh this time because we’ve got something special for the anniversary update!

So in summary:
Feb-20 - Update 1.16 - A lot of heroes are refreshed
Mar-20 - Update 1.16.10 - Jessie is refreshed
Apr-20 - Update 1.17.10 - Genie and Wall-E are refreshed
Jun-20 - Update 2.0.10 - Robin Hood is refreshed
Jul-20 - Update 2.1.10 - Queen of Hearts is refreshed
Aug-20 - Update 2.2.10 - Darkwing Duck is refreshed
Nov-20 - Update 2.4.10 - Dr. Facilier is refreshed
Feb-21 - Update 2.6.10 - Madam Mim is refreshed
Mar-21 - Dev Q&A states that refreshes are planned every .10 release
Mar-21 - Update 2.7.10 - Kim Possible is refreshed
Jun-21 - Update 3.1.10 - Shank is refreshed
Jul-21 - Update 3.2.10 - no refresh - refers to 3.3.10
Sep-21 - Update 3.3.10 - no refresh - refer to State of the Game
Oct-21 - Update 3.4.10 - Basil is refreshed
Nov-21 - Update 3.5.10 - Elsa is refreshed
Jan-22 - Update 3.6.10 - Baloo is refreshed
Mar-22 - Update 3.7.10 - John Silver is refreshed
Apr-22 - Update 3.8.10 - no refresh - refer to anniversary update
May-22 - Update 4.0 - Syndrome is refreshed
May-22 - Update 4.0.10 - no mention of refresh
Jun-22 - Buzz Lightyear is refreshed as a result of movie release
Jul-22 - Update 4.1.10 - no mention of refresh

So, if you’re no longer planning on doing refreshes with .10 updates, at least just confirm please, because it looks like after 4.0 it went back to “we will do refreshes when we want”, and revert back to what it was before the 1.16.10 update

I mean why was it even mentioned in 3.2.10, 3.3.10 and 3.8.10 if it is not “confirmed” to be in .10 updates as those are the only updates prior to 4.0 that did not have a refresh?

[Loutre]

Plans do change. We did plan to have one in every release, but that also is not guaranteed. Planning to do something and guaranteeing it’ll happen are not the same.

[Bluebandit93]

So we can take this as confirmed that it is no longer planned to be in .10 updates?
Perfect, will make a note and not bring it up again

[Loutre]

When we do refreshes they are planned for .10 updates they just may not be in ALL .10 updates.

[Bluebandit93]

Thanks, but that is not really something I would look forward to for a maybe there is maybe there isn’t scenario.
Better to just forget about it and then one day when we get one again it would be a hopefully nice surprise

[Anget_Joy]

Are there new refresh coming during the update

[Zelkiiro]

The problem with this, though, is that the rate of Hero Refreshes needs to be vastly accelerated.

Nearly a third of the roster is practically unusable in the modern day, and another third of the roster is completely unusable–as in, there are literally zero lineups that are improved by the inclusion of Gonzo, Maui, Beast, or Jasmine (among many, many others). Sure, maybe you can win with Beast in your team, but it ain’t because Beast was helping–it was in spite of him holding your team back.

@Loutre

Nothing has changed.

@Loutre

Plans do change.

Decide then, even though it’s clearly what is happening since few… many months now.

[NiceMickey]

Many of the old heroes are not used because of their poor performance in the game despite being popular characters. In that respect, the refresh of Buzz was very grateful. (Whether or not the Buzz refresh was sufficient is not discussed). Finnick, Vanellope, Violet… Many old characters are useless. A lot of users will be happy if Perblue makes improvements to old characters more aggressively.

When will next prize wall be announced? Prize wall ends in 2 days.

[Musketeer-Endgame]

friday, every 3rd friday.

@Loutre

Planning to do something and guaranteeing it’ll happen are not the same.

I tried this logic with my wife and it didn’t work out.

[Tilarta]

Please define “ready to be used”.

Is this adequate?

I haven’t decided if Miles is effective yet, also it costs a lot of Stamina to get him to Y0 for his Battle Badge, so that’s another reason I have not upgraded him yet.

[Elytrion]

You do realize that they are ‘Hero Concepts’, people get those confused.
Hero Concepts are basically ‘If this hero does Get added, this is the way I picture it.’.

@Koss55

look at the forum and it feels like 90% of the players here are paid bots. “add this hero, add another hero”, “finally my favorite (insert name)”.

Also, you can cry about the Game’s difficulty, and the prices, but trying to diss the Community isn’t gonna go well. Disney makes more Money than you can ever imagine, this game being an Exception aswell.

There are more ‘Hero Concepts’ than there are ‘Hero Wishlists’. And there haven’t really been many of them lately. I think this community is great.

[Vovkaboroda4]

Can you add the collection/universe filter please

[The_Real_Numi]

@Zelkiiro

Nearly a third of the roster is practically unusable in the modern day,

Underestimating. I’d say nearly 70% of heroes is s… trash.

I wanted to use a stronger word because it accurately describes the usefulness but uh obviously I can’t.

[Ozi_swag]

Can’t wait for Audrey today

[Sra_Malevola]

Update Day!

[Jody_Caviness]

It depends on how strictly one defines “unusable”, I’d say. For example, Donald would be considered trash by most top players, but if you don’t have anything else available for whatever reason, it is still possible to design a team to take advantage of his limited debuff-blocking ability and turn it into an asset. If you consider that “usable”, even if in just a very narrow sense, then the number of truly “unusable” heroes would probably be around 35%; if you classify Donald as “unusuable”, then 70% is a closer estimate.

[Ozi_swag]

First Tron then Jumba then John Silver then Gogo then Flik and now Audrey Ramirez.
Most of these Coliseum and Arena heroes were on the Red team and now we get our first hero on the Yellow team
