PATCH DETAILS:

Basic vs Advanced Views: A Basic view of mods has been created to make the introduction to the mods feature more streamlined for novice mods players. In the Basic view players can Auto Assign mods using a mod recommendation system detailed below. Additionally, the mods inventory and stats are not displayed to reduce the amount of information being served to players in Basic view. Advanced view is similar to the current mods view that is live. View mods inventory, stats, and manually assign any mods in Advanced view. The last view you had selected will be the view loaded when you return to mods.

View mods inventory, stats, and manually assign any mods in Advanced view. The last view you had selected will be the view loaded when you return to mods. Recommendation System: One of the most difficult aspects of mods is understanding which mods to put on a character. The recommendation system simplifies this by suggesting specific mod(s) from the inventory to assign. The recommendation complements the character’s battle and ability effectiveness by identifying which of the player’s mods has the best set, primary stat, and secondary stats for that character. If the player has an available mod that is a decent to perfect fit, it will be recommended; if not a find flow will identify where that mod can be found. Details on the specific stats being recommended for the current character can be viewed including how they are prioritized by the algorithm. As this system provides an all-purpose set of recommended mods, players that are experts at mod optimization will likely continue to select their own mod configurations in Advanced view (especially if the player changes mods based on the game mode).

Mod Auto Assign: A quick way to assign all the recommended mods for a character. When auto assigning mods, players can choose to have the algorithm also select mods that are currently assigned to specific characters allowing the best owned mods to be assigned.

Mod Loadouts: Players can now create, edit and save sets (Loadouts) of mods for re-use across characters. This is a quick way for players to swap mods onto characters for different game modes. To make the process of creating mod loadouts easy, a loadout can be created based on the mods currently assigned to a character.

Advanced Filters: Players can now filter their mods by a variety of criteria including slot, set, primary stat, secondary stats, rarity, and tier. This includes searching for a mod with multiple specific secondaries (ex. Mods that have Speed and Offense)

The mod inventory can now be sorted by a stat from highest to lowest Assign mods already assigned to other characters: One of the new mod inventory filters will display mods that are already assigned to a character and allow moving a mod directly from one character to another.

Toggle Arrows: Players will now be able to cycle through characters on the mod menu by using the toggle arrows on the basic or advanced views. Players no longer need to return to the character select screen to select a new character.

Players no longer need to return to the character select screen to select a new character. Destroy Button Removed: The "destroy mod" functionality when assigning over an existing mod has been removed based on player feedback. Players can also remove a locked mod by assigning over it instead of needing to remove it first. Locked mods are only meant to prevent accidentally selling it.

Mod Leveling Screen Improvement: The screen when leveling a mod has been improved to allow selecting the desired mod level immediately without needing to tap "Select Level". In addition, the displayed stat change when leveling a mod now highlights the entire line and displays for a longer period of time.

Facebook Account Linking: Account linking will now be done using a Facebook account rather than a randomly generated code. To use the new linking, both devices will need updated to our TU13 Client. One device will then connect to a facebook account and the second can then link to that account. Authentication will continue to be tied to your GameCenter, Google Play, or Guest account. Facebook is only for linking not authentication.

Facebook is only for linking not authentication. Color Blind Accessibility: The Tier of a mod is represented as Color. This was requiring individuals that are unable to distinguish between the colors to tap on the mod and view its title to know the tier. For example, in the Mod Inventory in Advanced view, a Mod needed to be tapped and in the Mod’s title “MK V-A CRIT DAMAGE HOLO-ARRAY”, the A represents the Tier of A. We wanted to make this more accessible so changed the “Lvl 15” under the Mod to “15-A” to incorporate the Tier in a more accessible way.

Secondary Stat Rolls Displayed: We are now surfacing the number of times a secondary stat was rolled on a Mod. This has always been a maximum of 5 (initial roll and 4 increases), but that will become slightly more prominent now that Slicing is available)
