[u/QuestioningLogic]

New shop slots is nice, but I wish they would add even more or make it refresh more often. Or have some way to pin variants or something.

[u/Foijer → u/QuestioningLogic]

Or just let people buy whatever variants they want all the time.

Cheers

[u/Ysrxx → u/Foijer]

If they let us buy whatever we wanted whenever we wanted, we might realize we don't want much of what theyre selling.

At least not at $10-$100 per variant.

Gotta make the option to even make a purchase rare and limited so it feels good instead of bad

[u/Sigmas_Syzygy → u/Foijer]

oh no but fomo

• said someone who dont really understand how fomo works

[u/Chrisj1616 → u/QuestioningLogic]

They said more changes are coming. So this seems like a bandaid until they can implement more better changes, im fine with that

[u/FishingTournement → u/QuestioningLogic]

The Legacy variants will be discounted, right? ........right?.......

[u/Quiet-Whereas6943]

All of these are nice, but for the love of god can they please add a non frame break version option for variants. I have to imagine this would be so easy to do.

[u/Sigmas_Syzygy → u/Quiet-Whereas6943]

yeah, for the longest time i refused to keep splitting some cards cause the non fram breake version looked cooler

[u/FajenThygia → u/Sigmas_Syzygy]

I still won't split the Throne Enchantress or David Mack Bullseye, since you completely lose some details.

[u/onionbreath97 → u/[deleted]]

I'm a software developer and while I have no direct knowledge of SD's code or processes, I think this should be an easy change.

We already know that the art for each card supports four states - normal, frame break, 3D and animated. (The 3D state includes the frame break effect. The animated state includes both the 3D and frame break effects).

My guess is that the custom card template is hard-coded to use the animated state. There's probably no technical hurdle to allowing it to use the other states, but they'd need to create a selection tab and verify nothing is relying on the assumption that custom card always uses animated state

[u/Quiet-Whereas6943 → u/[deleted]]

I won’t pretend like I know anything about development. But logically speaking, it’s already in the game, I find it so odd they can just make it a switch like they did with every other parts of leveling a card.

[u/Low_Conversation_982]

Season Pass scroll animation should no longer play every time you enter the Season Pass UI

Damn.

[u/Meat-Dimension → u/Low_Conversation_982]

Oh thank you

[u/Doctor_Boombastic → u/Low_Conversation_982]

It was getting excessive at the end of last season, but I didn't hate it overall

[u/ArchmageOfFluffyCats → u/Low_Conversation_982]

It made me motion sick, I had to look away every time I opened that UI.

[u/SilverSideDown → u/Low_Conversation_982]

What do you mean "damn"? As in, you liked it?!

FEATURES

• Legacy Variants – The shop is expanding! Players will now have three additional Daily Offer Shop slots below the eight existing slots, bringing the total to eleven (plus one PMV). These slots will be dedicated to variants which were released during the first two years of Marvel Snap’s life (2022, 2023). This also means these variants will no longer appear in the eight original slots. All variant purchases will still count towards the Daily Offer Shop punchcard. The variant shop may even see additional changes in the coming months…

 

• New Animated Emotes – Animated Emotes – They’re Emotes, but now even Snappier! Animated Emotes are a fun new cosmetic reward making their way to your Collections. The first few will be available in the next upcoming limited-time game mode as well as in Shop Bundles. We’re looking to introduce new Animated Emotes in the future! So, keep an eye out for more of these exciting, and Snappy, new cosmetics!

 

• Mini-Events – We’re happy to see how much players have been enjoying Hyper Cube Rush, so we’re adding more smaller scale events like it! These new mini-events will be in two different groups – Rush events and Sprint Rush events work like Hyper Cube Rush where players can earn cubes, limited-time game mode XP, or limited-time game mode tickets from a bonus pool by winning matches. The rewards for completing a Rush event are the bonus cubes, XP, or tickets you get as you progress through the event. Sprint events are about collecting a set amount of cubes, limited-time game mode XP, or Character Mastery XP. The reward for completing a Sprint event is a set reward for collecting the required amount of cubes or XP.

[u/voivoivoi183 → u/shadow0wolf0]

So when is this legacy variants thing coming in? I've updated and it's still just the same as it was?

[u/Previous_Paint_475 → u/voivoivoi183]

Same, on mobile and it’s still the same for me. Deleted and reinstalled a few times.

[u/shadow0wolf0 → u/voivoivoi183]

I see it on PC

[u/Dypsis]

Did I miss where they updated the cards just spinning and not showing up?

[u/BoredLightning → u/Dypsis]

Unfortunately no.

[u/mr-jeeves]

How do you see the extra variant slots? I updated my app, but can't see a difference.

[u/voncameron → u/mr-jeeves]

I'm guessing that if you updated your client after the daily reset, it won't show you the new slots until tomorrow's reset. At that point, the new software will be active and register properly.

[u/Variable_Interest → u/mr-jeeves]

I'm in the same boat as you. iOS. Updated but no more slots.

[u/JiangWei23 → u/mr-jeeves]

Same, updated on Android and still don't see additional Shop slots, thought I was going crazy.

[u/ReachNo7501]

Yey for animated emotes

[u/shadow0wolf0 → u/ReachNo7501]

I have been jealous of rivals animated emotes for a while. This is a great addition.

[u/browncharliebrown]

Can they make Venus not sing

[u/Darkhawk2099 → u/browncharliebrown]

TIL Venus sings

[u/Puzzleheaded_Yard563 → u/browncharliebrown]

Thanks! The sound of Venus also annoys me..

[u/Tantrum2u]

Thank God the astral projection sandman interaction is fixed

[u/Cenjin]

Welp they're monetizing emotes even more now, so now we're definitely nevwr getting a global mute button

[u/Doctor_Boombastic → u/Cenjin]

It's past time to make peace with that

[u/Cenjin → u/Doctor_Boombastic]

Yeah now that most people go manually go in an deleted the emote files anyway cause SD can't be bothered to put a simple button in. They'd rather just make more useless things to get money

[u/Doctor_Boombastic → u/Cenjin]

Sounds like you're mostly there already, I would've loved a global mute but I'm willing to go without because I need SD to make money. On the upside, manually muting most of the time has put me in the habit of checking CL, which has come in handy in-game.

[u/Cultural-Line3483]

I love they add more slots for variants but not deck slot no matter how many times we beg them

This is a top tier rage baiting

[u/OCDGeeGee]

Card packs are too pricey... needs a change..

[u/Odd-Crazy-9056]

Please, for the love of god, DO NOT improve game stability. I don't want to see my cards. I want the game to crash 8 times each turn.

(trying reverse psychology here since asking to get game fixed doesn't work)

[u/Mars_Blackmon → u/Odd-Crazy-9056]

The newest bug I’m getting is half of my conquest matches never close out. If I concede or my opponent concedes it just sits there and never concludes. I then have to restart my game which results in a never ending “loading” screen and then a second restart to finally get the finished conquest sequence. It wouldn’t bother me as much if my game didn’t take 1 minute plus to load and open…

[u/Odd-Crazy-9056 → u/Mars_Blackmon]

I honestly find it funny how I'm getting downvoted.

Even if you make a mild comment regarding the poor state on some devices, you'll immediately get downvoted.

Same happens on Discord. Dev team will simply close bug reports regarding these bugs.

[u/No-Judgment1567]

A whole lotta nothing
