Yeah. I sent a ticket to Gaz about that. But after about a day I was just sick of being unable to move on in solo conquest, realized the mission was available for purchase in the shop, and bought it. Hopefully they'll refund me once they get to my ticket? ;P
Has anyone heard anything about the special surprise people who finished the old challenges were supposed to get? I'd be kinda bummed if they change their mind about that.

I put in two tickets today. One because the "Knock Out Critters" task is stuck at 199, and one because the sidekicks that knock out critters stop working after a couple of minutes.

Are there any quick and easy mission-related achievements that reward large sums of fractals?
Just wondering, how many fractals did you guys have when the update happened. I had a mere 5000 ish. 1400 ish from tickets, 3800 ish from silver, and about 200 from actual fractals. I spent almost all of it getting Falcon Exo-7.

Charles - Maybe you're idle. I stood in the middle of Baxter and tested out the emotes for my new heroes for a good hour or so last night while I let my knock-out critters badge do the work for me. It never stopped working.
Megatron - I had about 20k fractals saved up. When they converted my silver and tickets, it pushed me to 30k. And I'm making, like, 5-10k a day with this new update.

Wait...so I can get Au Ultron or Agent Venom by purchasing the $20 gold package???

VMT - Mostly messing around zones. Mega-collect is great if you have a lot of heroes. You get the 10 fractals in zone. Plus the 5 tokens, which gives you ten fractals as an achievement the first time you do it. Then if you're lucky and get a golden fractal, that is another 10 fracs. And if you have all your fractals, tokens, and crafting items, you may as well go look for Impossible Man. The Daily Collect Achievement gives you 20 fractals whether you fight him or not. If you fight him, you get another 36 (maybe 9 for non-members?) because it's pretty much impossible to get below ada.
And then I just fulfill challenges while I'm waiting for MC to recharge. Plus collecting stuff adds towards a greater achievement and I've earned the one that gives you 100 fracs as an award for everything but golden fractals. Also the exploration achievements that give you 5000 fracs apiece.
Speaking of challenges. I'm supposed to destroy 50 "pests" but I haven't seen a troublebot in hours. Have I just been in Daily Bugly too long? The bosses and robber keep respawning...

Are you kidding? That's it? I love this update for the most part but I was expecting something much more substantial than a title for that. I feel bad for all the folks who worked so hard at the last minute to finish the challenges up just to get a title. I thought for sure it was gonna be Gold Ultron.
I hope that they do make him available in the future some way other than dropping another $100 on the game. I am a dutiful subscriber and have dropped plenty of dough on gold in the past but now that I almost have every character there is no reason for me to spend $100 just for a repaint of Ultron.

Also, if you find the golden fractal for one of your heroes in a certain zone, check the ones closest to him/her in alphabetical order. It might just be coincidence, but it seems like if I stay in one zone, I will have huge runs where every hero finds there golden fractal there before it disappears again. And I'm usually working in alphabetical order.

As an Agent, fighting six mayhem bosses gives you roughly 200 fractals. So roughly 800 from the four zones if I ever figure out how to get addy from the Mysterio one.
A two-stage mission will give you close to 200 fractals.
If you really love the game, 2000 non-achievement fractals an hour isn't hard if you use a quick boss-killer like EOTE.
I think the 4x fractal buff is just for missions, though.
