MultiVersus General Discussion - Shut Down planned for May 30.

[Master Hero Sock-on-Rye]

You mean to tell me the WB Crossover Kart Racing game I had in my head as a joke was actually real but scrapped?!

Maybe not with a roster as plentiful as yours, but certainly with some of them.

Anyway, I just got back from watching The Day the Earth Blew Up, and...

I'm not going to mince words. I literally thought of MultiVersus after seeing Daffy's part of the climax.

Not directly related to Multiversus but I feel like people here will like this info:

WB San Diego Was Working On A Kart Racer Before Being Shut Down : r/GamingLeaksAndRumours

Apparently before shutting down WB San Diego was working on a crossover Kart racing game with multiple WB franchise. I wonder if the roster and franchise would've been vastly different from Multiversus.

You mean to tell me the WB Crossover Kart Racing game I had in my head as a joke was actually real but scrapped?!

Sigh. I guess that was that second game Dexter's VA was talking about.

The Jason to Hell arena event is live

I'm pretty sure that's the last free reward right?

I think so.

There’s maintenance coming approximately 9am PST so we shall see if anything changes.

Edit: Patch notes here. If you missed a Rogue Rift, they will repeat. Also the Mad Jack skin should now play the right Voice lines.

Edit 2: We were so close… Wicked Witch model found on Ausil’s Twitter

 

[Faso115]

Aw man....

We were so close...

If you pardon me, I have to lament that we aren’t getting her.

I see someone got a game over in Banjo Kazooie

 

[SneakyLink]

It gets worse:

From what I learned over Discord, she was finished.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

If she's finished there is absolutely no excuse to not drop her. These devs...

 

[Faso115]

Mad Jack also got fixed so he plays the proper voicelines now

 

[Opossum]

She has a completed, rigged model.

She has a complete set of voice lines.

The only major thing missing is her moveset data, and if the folks on the discord are to be believed, that's likely in the files somewhere too.

It's genuinely infuriating that they aren't releasing her, but at the very least she'll be like THE easiest character to add once modding gets off the ground.

Instead, they removed the Aku ringout and Mask Island banner from the Rogue Rift awards, meaning unless unlocked, they’re gone.

Also, there are two new Arya variants. Both are free and in the Variant menu.

 

[Faso115]

For some weird reasons, Arya received Mythic Vista skins.

You should have them unlocked by default

I remember an artist showing off one of them on Artstation.
Didn’t think they’d sneak it in last minute.

 

[ivanlerma]

so will everyone still be here even when multiversus continues with those spiritual successor mods?

Luckily I got the ringout which is the one I wanted. Once again... these devs. What's wrong with them?

How about a screenshot of her in game?

[LimeTH]

Oh what a load of ****. Why couldn’t they drop everything they finished into one big season?

This one, too. Her idle is referencing that one official image...

As someone who was into Disney Infinity when it was new, I'm getting Peter Pan flashbacks seeing how CLOSE the Wicked Witch was to release.

And they’ve been removed

Wooooow

In other news, one of the Multiversus mods revealed who the VA of Black Adam will be:

Bob Carter. As in, the same Bob Carter who voices Black Adam in the unmodded game.

It's actually kinda insane. So insane i wouldn't be surprised if WB did a nintendo

But it's great he's down to reprise the role

i swear to no one they don't.....and Nintendo needs to stop with their distaste god dammit.

And the latter as a reminder.

So with the shutdown in two months, the final patch has enabled the offline mode. If connecting after May 30, or trying to play when not connected to the Internet, you automatically enter offline mode. What does the offline mode consist of?

Local Multiplayer, Training, and Rifts will be the only modes available. In Local Multiplayer, the various minigames and modifiers have been added, so stuff like Volleyball will be available. Modifiers include the various rift gameplay rules plus two that are more cosmetic in nature (the first is Retro Horror from the Jason rift (turns the screen into a retro CRT style), the second is Computer-Internals from the Dexter Robot rift (everything becomes wireframed and green).

On the topic of cosmetics, all cosmetics earned or purchased before May 30 will be available after. All other cosmetics not earned or purchased won’t appear at all. When selecting a fighter you choose variants as normal then you can select banner, emote, and ringout. Announcer Packs aren’t selected from this menu but should still be available. Sadly it seems profile icons will be going away along with badges.

For rifts, all rifts will be available, including the Rogue Rifts. Rogue Rifts won’t award their cosmetics in offline, so if you want to use Valentine Nubia, Ame-Come Raven, DC Bombshells Harley, and/or Mad Jack in local, this is the last chance. Speaking of cosmetics, if a rift objective called for a cosmetic of a certain tag, every skin for that tag will be usable regardless of if you have it or not. This includes all Elusive variants and the variants that were briefly available when the season started.

I can't even imagine why that would be. First of all, gleamium has been removed so it's not like everyone can rush to buy the skins they want before the shut down, but the offline mode during the period between beta and release let you use all the cosmetics. It's absolutely maddening.

The only guess I have, which, I must be honest, I don’t know if it has any merit, is that they don’t want to anger people by giving away their exclusive skins (I’ve seen similar arguments regarding Fortnite Battle Passes). But since the game is ending anyways, there’s no point in having anything be exclusive.

Luckily I got the ringout which is the one I wanted. Once again... these devs. What's wrong with them?

Update: It turns out the items are still earnable, just hidden in the menu.

I did some digging in the offline mode and here are some notes:

Before I start, to enter offline mode I disconnected my Xbox from the internet. Reconnecting put me back into online mode. After the shutdown, offline will be the only option.

1. As mentioned, minigames and modifiers have been added to Local Play. Yes, you can stack modifiers, perfect for when you want nothing but complete chaos.

2. For cosmetics acquired before the shutdown, you can change Skin, Banner, Ringout, and Emotes for all players from the Local mode character select screen. Announcer Packs, Profile Icons, and Badges still require you to go to the Fighter section of the Main Menu. Everything not gotten will not appear. Strangely the two Mythic Vista Arya variants appear here anyways.

3. For Rifts there are a few things to note. First, Rogue Rifts are available at all times and no longer have daily plays, but they no longer give awards. Second, all “Bring another player” missions now auto complete the next time you play a mission where it wasn’t cleared. Third, as mentioned, if a skin tag matches a mission requirement, then all skins with that tag will be available regardless of ownership. In addition to all released skins, there’s a few others (see the spoiler for the full list):

Credit to Discord for this list:
so the unreleased offline rift skins include:
all previously released elusives (including ranked skins)
most of the unreleased ValentiNeon variants (jason, ppg, raven, marceline, aquaman, jack)
all unreleased Platfight t-shirts (bugs, joker, velma, wonder woman)
new 52 aquaman
both unreleased mythic vista arya skins
Gizmo's Winter Wonderland skin (known as Giz-Snow)
Freddy vs Jason
Cat Burglar, Lights Out, and classic Tune Squad for Lola
Spacesuit Morty
Comics Raven
Sleepytime Shaggy
Golfer Taz
all of the valentineons are rare, the platfights are elusive, and the rest are all rare except for cat burlgar and both aryas, which are epic

Finally, for levels requiring you to own a specific skin to play, then any skins you didn’t obtain will be labeled as a guest skin, allowing you to play the level.

Does this mean it's going to give us the skins? That'd be a pretty nice thing for them to do. Which is why I don't expect them to do it.

No. No skins, other than the ones obtained while the game is online will be available in Local multiplayer.

What I assume is that the devs decided to make every skin available in rifts depending on what the mission calls for because people may not have skins that call for every skin tag possible. And it also allows the player to experience levels that outright required a specific skin to even play.

To give an example, although Classic Tune Squad Lola Bunny released for a brief period but was then pulled, if a Rift objective calls for a character with Sports Attire or an Animated character, then you can use the skin for the rift mission only. This does not apply if the mission calls for a franchise or a specific character. In those cases, only the skins obtained in online will be available.

The sole exception to the above rules is the Mythic Vista Arya skins. While you can’t use them online, both are fully usable in all modes when playing offline.

Of course. You know, they could just do this since they aren't available literally any other way, but no, **** the players over in every single way possible. Why would I expect anything else from Pay Us First Games and WB

 

[SneakyLink]

All of the Rogue Rifts from this season have reopened, allowing for one last chance at obtaining their skins.

The final Ranked Season is also available however there are no skins attached to it this time so I wouldn’t bother with it.

 

[Faso115]

Seems like Adventure Time is coming to Fortnite

Another MVS property hmmmmmmm. Yeah it still stings

 

[Master Hero Sock-on-Rye]

At this point, I'm just waiting until this is Fortnite canon.

 

[SneakyLink]

So here’s an interesting Multiversus thing that is in game but cannot be fully accessed:
This cannot be done in local multiplayer, only the live game.
Go to the Custom Game lobby, set it up as a Free for All. Then change the mode to Slay the Giant and set it back. Check the map selection after doing this. The result?
Two new stages that you can look at, but won’t work when trying to load them: Primordial Lands (Primal) and Riverboat (Over the Garden Wall).

So, about that Switch 2 Direct...

In general terms, the library will get people invested. This time, not just straight Nintendo fans.

However, upon looking at Donkey Kong Bananza again, I realized something about DK's new clothes.

"Corporate wants you to distinguish between these two pictures."

"They're the same picture."
