Update 5.2 Patch Notes

[Musketeer]

@Samm

rewarded amounts of most of the items that can be acquired. Adjusted values include:

• 2x more Hero Chips
• 2x more Badge Tokens
• 2x more Gold
• 10x more Ultra XP Drinks
• 2x more Mod Upgrades

That is not enough.

Just delete these useless crates already!

[RockzAreCool]

And maybe make down on this game too. But if might happen that announced. It’ll happen

[RockzAreCool]

@Samm

• The Muppets
• Hercules
• The Princess and the Frog

And for this. Best pick that ever more!!

[Ozi_swag]

Well that’s one thing I can agree on

[BenjiGamer2009]

This will be the 2nd muppet being added this year, after Statler & Waldorf.

The Muppets are now tied with The Incredibles with 9 heroes.

[Ozi_swag]

And Zootopia

[BenjiGamer2009]

You’re right!

The Incredibles has 9 heroes, which has Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Dash, Violet, Jack Jack, Frozone, Syndrome, The Underminer, and Voyd, and Zootopia also has 9 heroes, which has Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde, Yax, Chief Bogo, Finnick, Clawhauser, Mr. Big & Koslov, Mayor Bellwether, and Flash.

[Samm]

The Guild Perks did get pushed to 5.3 unfortunately

[KrishMortyJunior]

But we need more!

[Ozi_swag]

No we don’t sure there’s a lot of characters from that franchise but they gotta stop adding more heroes from that franchise because it’s too much

[KrishMortyJunior]

We need more characters from Zootopia, Kim Possible and the muppets!

[Ozi_swag]

Kim Possible I agree on but Zootopia and The Muppets no

[Kira]

I see and thanks for answering Samm, appreciate it :-).

Well, hopefully the pushing of the Guild Perks means that the Guild Perks are getting a more substantial refresh than originally intended.
Like increasing the Team XP Doubling to level 200 instead of being at 100 still.

But yeah, hope it is going well at PerBlue :-).

[Musketeer]

@KrishMortyJunior

Cmon how about also Zootopia and The Muppets?

No.

We already got more than enough.

@Samm

New! Sweetums from The Muppets

Yes, our ninth Muppet, kind of excessive when there’s still several worthy franchises with 0-2 heroes in the game. But given how many players are asking for 8+ heroes from franchises that they like, I can’t really be upset by this either.

@Samm

Off To Hollywood
Sweetums does a dance to encourage his team!

Anyway, he does look potentially fun, and hopefully strong without being quite as OP as a couple of recent additions. coughJakecoughNegaduckcough Kermit and Mr. Big & Koslov seem to be good choices for his friendships as well.

@Samm

This season introduces 15 new Heroes into the Patchable Hero pool, spanning 4 Franchises:

• The Muppets
• Hercules
• The Princess and the Frog
• The Little Mermaid

A good selection of franchises for the patch season; hopefully the increased and added stats can make some sadly outdated heroes relevant again. (I, for one, would love to use Gonzo with a speed boost or two; endless chicken stampede!)

@Samm

Our new automated system is reliable and accurate for issuing chat silences.

Mmhmm. However reliable and accurate it’s said to be, assume that it’s about 50% as reliable and accurate. Murphy’s Law runs rampant in software. Hopefully you’ll wind up reviewing fewer moderation actions than you’ve had reports in the past, but I’m skeptical of how much time this will end up saving.

@Samm

All of your Saved Lineups will now remember the Memory Disk option that is equipped when creating that lineup.

Thank you! This is a very promising QoL change indeed, and I look forward to testing it out.

@Samm

These crates needed a refresh, so we updated the rewarded amounts of most of the items that can be acquired.

I appreciate this update, although to be honest most of those items needed to be increased five-fold, not merely doubled.

@Samm

Bug Fixes

Lots and lots and lots of bug fixes, though mostly related to Patch problems; still, that’s progress.

@Samm

Resolved an issue where Mickey would disappear in battle

That’s got to be one of the oldest existing bugs in the game, but on the plus side it didn’t affect gameplay any, at least.

@Samm

Resolved an issue where Invasion Invincible boost occasionally wouldn’t apply at the start of battle

Is this related to the issue where the Invincible boost (and other boosts) inevitably wears off too soon?

@Samm

Kida is the next Challenger hero!

Hmm, normally new Challenger heroes also get some sort of stat buff, though I have to admit that I can’t recall if Kida got one with the Atlantis patch season.

Anyway, a promising hero, some nice QoL changes, lots of bug fixes, so overall a good update.

[Mich_II]

is there no refreshment for Kida even tho she will be the new challenger ssn?

[Musketeer]

Stop killing game and add new franchises or expand the ones with 1-2 characters.

Stop adding Muppets and other franchises with already expanded “cast”. This is 2nd Muppet this year, it’s sick.

Where is Encanto? Ratigan? Cruella? Oliver & Dodger? Kenai & Koda? Amphibia? The Owl House?
Hmmm

[Knight_Ryder]

I just think that PB is giving us C-list and D-list characters. I really want better, more well known heroes instead of Sweetums. Like why Sweetums when Cruella de Vil isn’t in the game??

Exactly like this is the kind of stuff I hate that annoys me like we need new franchises

@Samm

The Guild Perks did get pushed to 5.3 unfortunately

As Kira speculated, hopefully this means we’ll be getting a substantial and useful overhaul for them, rather than just tweaks to the consumable perks or some such.
