[Enraged Arrow Enforcer]

SHIELD SITREP 8/20/2015

from the office of Director Fury

Alert Tony Stark that Obadiah Stane has unveiled his Iron Monger armor! Let’s hope Stane hasn’t solved the icing problem yet…

New Titles have been requisitioned for Agents! Report in and update your status!

*For S.H.I.E.L.D. Use Only*

Recruits and agents are advised to delete their “SHS” game cache at http://unity3d.com/webplayer/setup if the updates below are not seen. Do not uninstall and reinstall the Unity Webplayer.

Iron Monger is now available in the Shop to Agents for Early Access. Obadiah Stane really likes this armor…

Iron Monger receives +50% bonus mission XP and 2x mission Fractal Burst Play bonuses now through Sunday (23rd).

v23 Titles are also available in the Shop to Agents. Who wouldn’t want “The Bunnishing” with their Squad name?

Big Time Spider-Man, now available to all Recruits, receives a 2x mission Fractal Burst Play bonus Friday through Sunday (23rd), 6am to 12 noon and 8pm to 2am PDT.

The hands of Sad Spider-Men are less twitchy now. They’re much more composed during their sadness.



Known Issue Warning: While progress has been made on a critical bug preventing many players from seeing their achievements, several side-effects have been reported and noted:

Achievement tracking windows may take a minute or so longer to appear

Some card game quests may hang on the loading screen
A complete solution is still in progress. Known partial workarounds:

Trish/Scott said in FB replies that they will make an official announcement on FB to which entries will be posted.

[Ace]

Yeah, hope they change it like they did with Electro, but Big Time is pretty good anyway.

I sent an email to them yesterday and I too had Electro in mind as an example. So I informed them about BT Spidey's HU and and told them that they should really look into it and make it hit multiple times; the same way they fixed Electro's.

It's posted on FB now, and that's where your entry (you can only enter once!) must be.

About that "sinister thing" you said some pages ago Spy, I just saw a person with a Iron Monger level 40 without membership, and then he changed to Iron Man Midas also level 40, squad level was 2k, achievements only 4k and 185 heroes, the only explanation I can think is if the person was a dev, but I think he was chasing me, I can't imagine a dev doing that.

[happyman2]

Is there a reason why alot of players don't use team buffs in missions? I try to as much as possible to increase everyone's survival.

Yes, the same reason they stand in fire or acid until they die.

LOL!! Raven your posts always kills me! They way you write them nonchalantly as well, lol.

Do what I do, gather their info (screenshots are best) and send them to Gaz. I just ran into two people I've NEVER heard of, one with a 7500+ squad level and a non-Agent with a 6500+ squad level. I have no problem snitching on these obvious cheats. Gaz needs to crackdown hard on these people...I like Raven's MAC-address-banning idea.

Anyone else think that Scott has moved on, too? It seems that Trisha (who goes by "Hugs Cats") is now answering all the FB queries.

Something related, if I'm using a hero with a team damage boost P2 (like Squirrel Girl), I activate it after summoning a sidekick during the boss stage of the mission, so that their attacks do that much more damage. Especially since I got Doreen's gold badge for my non-agent account for fractals, by boosting my EotE sidekick and smartbomb, killing the boss is faster. So take note, summonable sidekicks benefit from team armor/damage/speed/health boosts, the last for healing them before they automatically leave the battlefield when their time is up.

Let's get one thing straight...a hacker gets into a computer system, a thief uses weaknesses in the game files to steal intellectual property/labor which hurts the game and its paying customers. If you know someone who is STEALING from Gaz (and us) it is your duty to tell Gaz who that person is, and if you know, how they are doing it. Let these thieves ruin some other game.
