MultiVersus General Discussion

[Ivander]

Was there anything regarding the Daily Deals in the Store during the Stream? Cause this evening's Daily Deals are all 20% off(although I can't tell for the Black Adam Bolt and Ride the Wave since I had them already). There's no 10% or 15% offs unlike the previous Daily Deals. Did they possibly change up the Daily deals to only do 20% offs?

And boy, is that Witch Velma skin tempting when I have enough to get it, but don't know if they might bring it for cheaper.
Like if you didn't get the Cake bundle but got Jake and the Doctor Finn pack, then you get a better deal with the 30% off Cake bundle then the Daily Deal Cake skin.

I liked the patch preview and I’m probably going to enjoy these new engine changes. I’ll be a wavedash master after a little practice. My Jake game has been killer lately.

I’m hoping we get some fighter balancing too.

 

[SneakyLink]

Don’t say the name three times cause the patch notes are here!

Note that Beetlejuice will only be available via Gleamium or Tickets until August 23, at which point he will be available via Fighter Currency.

 

[Faso115]

Huh....what a weird manner of release....

Guess it gives me more time grind cause sure as hell not dropping my free gleamium rn :v

And now the true fight begins! Pick a team: Team Witch, Team Scooby or team Marceline![

Another thing from the patch notes: Some characters had their class change.

Marvin and Morty and now Mages. Taz is now an Assassin.

Finally, we know for sure they're coming. I guess the Mojo rift is meant to lead into them, but they're probably gonna have to stretch to explain how the cast can be in Townsville without the PPG getting involved right away.

Oh, **** off with that ****, that's arbitrarily locking him behind cash for early release? Cringe. Every time they make good changes, they gotta throw in some bull**** too.

I mean...it's three days lol. It's not that big of a deal, and I'd much rather this than what happened with Agent Smith.

 

[Ivander]

I don't deny that they should've clarified Beetlejuice's purchase method when they showed him, but c'mon people, it's just 3 days. There are plenty of things you can do to make time go by while waiting for him. It's nowhere near a do-or-die scenario that some people are exaggerating.

 

[Opossum]

With the listed class changes, this is how the lineup currently shakes out.

Bruisers (9) - Batman, Black Adam, Shaggy, Agent Smith, Samurai Jack, Garnet, Jake, Banana Guard, LeBron James
Mages (9) - Joker, Velma, Bugs Bunny, Marvin the Martian, Tom and Jerry, Gizmo, Rick, Morty, Reindog
Assassins (6) - Harley Quinn, Taz, Stripe, Beetlejuice, Finn, Arya Stark
Tanks (5) - Superman, Wonder Woman, Iron Giant, Jason, Steven Universe

No. No excusing this.

I have oodles upon oodles of useless fighter currency because I have everyone already. This is a BLATANT greedy tactic to squeeze more money out of a game that already gouges you for wanting to just play the game if you didn't have the foresight to unlock everything in the beta. There is absolutely no reason that I should have to wait any amount of time to unlock the new character that wasn't advertised as "early access" just because I don't want to spend ten dollars to get him early. If I am PAYING for early access, three days is not enough. A week is not enough.

It is bad enough I have to pay to buy a pass to unlock a character two MONTHS early. They cannot be allowed to get away with gouging you ten dollars every time a new character releases. They deserve to be called out on this. This is EA levels of corporate greed. What is the point of a fighter currency if I can't use it to buy whatever fighter I want, when I want?

The Smith rift unlock was a thinly masked scheme to force people to cough up, this is just that reborn into a new form.

 

[SneakyLink]

Went through the new rift to check requirements and, somehow, this is the most lenient rift in terms of fighter requirements.

1. The main tag to watch for is "Undead". Beetlejuice has it (was added for him) but also Jason has the tag by default. In terms of variants, all the new Afterlife shop skins, plus the Black Lanterns, have the tag. On 4 missions with the Undead tag, the game forces you to use Beetlejuice, even if you don't have him (a fifth does not do this and has a "Use Beetlejuice" requirement for a gem)
2. The only other tag I saw was Sports Attire, however both are only for gems and not to get through the rift.

In fact, not counting the missions where you can use Beetlejuice even if not owned, there are no requirements for specific missions outside the optional missions.

I did some of the new Rift on Insanity but noticed that my stars weren’t counting toward the Rift event. Anyone else having this issue?

You don't need to pay any money for the Battlepass. I didn't when I first started thanks to the free Gleamium from the YouTube event, the Twitch Drops and getting to Career level 10. And the Battlepass gives you just enough Gleamium to get the next one as long as you don't use the Gleamium for anything. And even then, there's also the Gleamium from Events and from character and career levels you can get as well. This game is far from stingy when it comes to giving out Gleamium.

Multiversus shouldn't be treated as this job that you are forced to play and times when the developers try to make you work more than people should, like earning Cybucks in the Cybucks event, I do criticize them. But waiting 3 days for Beetlejuice to use your Fighter Currency is far from the worst of it.
I agree they should've stated beforehand what they were going to do with unlocking Beetlejuice, and they do need to communicate on these things instead of saying nothing about it. But this is nowhere near as bad as Smith where you were forced to work for Rift Gem levels otherwise you couldn't get him earlier and had to wait until next Season to get him.

If you need to take a break from the game or even back away from the game if it's too much for you, do what you must. It's better to take care of your health and well-being then getting over stressed.

It appears to be glitched since you are not the only one this has happened to. Probably best to wait for a fix before continuing and hopefully it gets fixed soon.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the grind, it's about how objectively scummy the action is. There is no other reason to lock him behind a wait if he is ready other than Greed. Yeah, it's better than the Smith event, but the solution isn't to be slightly less scummy, it's to not to do this slimeball **** at all. I have more than enough currency to get him, but why am I being forced to wait longer to use him than everyone else? Because it's about blatant. corporate. greed.

Every live service game wants to be the next Fortnite, but what they don't seem to understand is that Fortnite is incredibly generous with its live service elements and everything you can get by paying is completely cosmetic content.

What they've done here is lock him behind an extra wait to exploit people with poor impulse control. Plain and simple. You cannot defend this. I apologize if I'm coming off heated but even I, who has a greater tolerance for this stuff in F2P games, can't get bin good faith be okay with this level of blatant greed.

Is the game crashing after PVP matches for anyone else?

 

[Will]

This update sure blew up in PFG’s face, huh?

I agree that Juice’s release was a disastrous breach of trust within the playerbase. If they correctly labeled it as an early release, nobody would be that upset about it. No **** it’s just three days, don’t lie to your customers lol

The Rift event being bugged also means there’s no point in playing Rifts at all until the emergency patch comes through. This is a tough start to the midseason, and I wouldn’t be surprised if people enjoyed Season 1 more than Season 2 even with the new gameplay changes.

That's really the biggest issue. They should've talked about this either when they revealed his gameplay trailer or during the stream. The issue isn't so much waiting 3 days for him. It's the fact that they didn't talk about how people were going to get him. And I really don't know why they didn't.
Or even worse if they couldn't. Cause if they couldn't, that would raise so many concerns with what's happening behind the development scenes.

 

[Geoffrey Druyts]

I was gonna play today after doing exclusively the daily missions after I finished the event, but with Beetlejuice not unlocking till 3 days for whatever reason, the rift event being bugged, 2v2 seemingly taking forever to load and some characters missing voices, I'm glad I skipped this game today.

The Beetlejuice thing is just really stupid. Doing the "pay with gleamium to play him early" thing on itself is fine, but they really, REALLY should've announced this beforehand instead of shadowdropping this information.

Seriously, how did all of this happen in one patch? I love this game, but with some of the bad decisions they're making and with random bugs popping out of nowhere all the time, it's really hard to enjoy this game and recommend it to my friends. Most of my friends have already stopped playing aswell because of some of the issues this game has.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

Mage makes a lot more sense for Marvin and Morty. I wonder why they're changing it just now.

I think the biggest differences with Marvin and Morty and the other mages is that they both use their projectile as a tool to make the opponnent come closer to them as a combo starter and finish them off with melee attacks instead of using their projectiles as a finishing move, which is why I guess they where hesitant with their class. Marvin is also very unique because despite projectile making like a third of this moveset, all of those moves have fairly big cooldown so you can't really zone with them or spam them.

Yeah, Marvin is probably the closest the game has to a true hybrid class character just because he plays so differently from most others. One minor adjustment one way or the other and he could easily fit either Mage or Assassin. For what it's worth I was totally on board with him being classed as an Assassin once they showed how he played, but I also get the switch to Mage.

Update: The rift bug has been fixed and anyone who got stars will get points that they should have earned.

 

[Ivander]

Off the main subject for a bit.

• It's nice that we got a Rift event alongside the main Beetlejuice event that allows us to get a Beetlejuice skin close off the bat before having to grind XP for the main event. People voiced their complaints regarding having to do the main Circuit Crew event in order to get a Circuit Credit basically rendering the bonus XP for a Circuit Crew skin moot, aside from Battlepass and Character XP and this Event remedies it somewhat. We do have to wait for the Event to be fixed, but hopefully once it is, it'll be smooth-sailing for the event.
  And the Beetlejuice event also gives 1 Green Beetle half-way through the EXP Track rather than both at the end of the track, so that's nice. Hopefully, future events will follow the lines of this where players can get a skin first before having to work on the event for easier XP.
• There's also the addition of the Bundle Deals for the characters when viewing their skins on the Fighters Screen. It clutters up the screen a bit, but on the other hand, it allows you to see deals that you can't see anymore on the store if a new deal comes in and the 25%/30% deals are obviously better compared to the 20% deals from Daily Deals, especially if you got most of the stuff on the 30% deals already aside from the skin.
  It also shows you what bundle deal are stuck at 20% which helps you figure out which things you simply need to wait for on the Daily Deals rather than buying everything on that bundle for 20%. Sure, the whole thing makes it more "mobile F2P" than it is already, but it's still nice to have if there's a bundle you want that you want to earn enough Gleamium for and don't have to worry about it disappearing from the store to find and buy it. I assume bundles that happen during Season 2 will appear eventually for those characters when Season 3 comes around.
• Pretty excited for the Batman event coming up. Hopefully when that event comes, we can still earn the skins from the Event mission as it was planned when it was first leaked.

It does work thankfully, as well as getting experience for the Beetlejuice event. Unfortunately, I think they goofed and copy-pasted the previous Rift Event and as such, you can't get the Green Beetle from the Rift Event yet, as it requires 70 Stars, but when you get all the Stars without Co-op, you can only get 63/64 Stars, the 64th needing Beetlejuice. I say copy-pasted because you needed 70 Stars for the previous Rift Event and in that previous Rift, you could get up to 72 Stars without a Circuit Crew skin and before the Rift Stars got fixed, the Beetlejuice Objective Stars Badge at the start of the Rift Event EXP Bar was previously another Samurai Jack Objective Stars badge.

Basically, we still need to wait for them to fix the amount of XP needed to get the Green Beetle from the Rift Event.

This is kind of dumb but I decided to check which stages seem to be associated with each character, using stuff like stage choice in rifts and background music in trailers. Underlines are for characters who have a stage from a different series, asterisks are when I'm not quite sure if this is what they're going for or not.

Trophy's EDGE: Bugs Bunny*, Taz*, Marvin*, Samurai Jack*, Iron Giant*
The Batcave: Batman, The Joker, Harley Quinn*
Tree Fort: Finn, Jake
Sky Arena: Steven, Garnet, Reindog*, Superman
Scooby-Doo: Shaggy, Velma*, Stripe, Jason, Beetlejuice
Cromulons: Rick, Morty, Wonder Woman*
Space Jam: Lebron James (also the looney tunes characters when in Space Jam attire)
Throne Room: Arya Stark, Black Adam
Townsville: Tom and Jerry*
Dexter's Lab: Agent Smith
Water Tower: Gizmo*, Banana Guard*
Titans Tower: Nobody

Is this important? Not really, but I could see them prioritizing certain stages to make the lineup a little less centralized. Trophy's Edge and Scooby-Doo are pretty crowded.

I imagine that as the datamined stages get added, the misplaced characters will begin to default to their own stages (Gizmo and Stripe to Midnight Showing, Bugs, Taz, and Marvin to Wabbit Season, Samurai Jack to Back to the Past, Banana Guard to the Candy Kingdom, Tom and Jerry to Cat Concerto, Jason to Crystal Lake).

That would just leave Iron Giant, Beetlejuice, Agent Smith, Superman, Wonder Woman, Black Adam, and Reindog still misplaced. The first three are just straight up from franchises that don't have a datamined stage, while the DC trio are likely just waiting for either a stage specific to them, or one that's at least not so specifically tied to Batman.

That just leaves Reindog...who has a stage for his "series" available with Trophy's E.D.G.E., so that's odd. My best guess is that because he's so heavily associated with gems, they put him on the Sky Arena for thematic purposes.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Game of Thrones has so many locations that would make potentially good stages it's not even funny.

 

[Fields - Ultimate's Great]

I'm just glad we know for sure that PPG is coming S3. They were long overdue, 20+ characters got prioritized over them, some choices being crazier than others in terms of how they got prioritized over PPG.

 

[osby]

Honestly, we need more horror-themed stages if they're going to keep adding horror characters. It's getting funny how every other newcomer uses Haunted Mansion.

Also, a beach stage would be cool for all these summer events. Like, I get why they chose Sky Arena but now a Beach City stage would be cool.

It seems to work properly in rifts, but in standard matches, everyone decided to become a mime.

The only exception I noticed besides rifts was in Free for All, where characters may say their Rungout quote.

I hope it gets fixed soon. I just want to hear Beetlejuice's lines against Jason in game! (Disclaimer, I did not buy Beetlejuice, I just found a video with interactions and now I want to hear them in game)

Edit: In other news, the Marceline's Song ringout completely vanished from the game.

Spoiler: Content spoilers

Based on what happened last patch, I assume the devs scrubbed everything Marceline related and the already released ringout was just "wrong name, wrong time". They did say they are looking into it.
