Pirates of the Caribbean Director Blames Unreal Engine and Video Game Aesthetics for the Decline of CGI in Movies

Have you ever wondered why modern movies often have worse special effects compared to older ones? When you compare today’s blockbusters to those from the early 2000s — with a few exceptions — the difference is clear.

Fixes and Optimizations

All Platforms

1. Ban/Pick Glitch: In live spectator and tournament spectating modes, some Ban/Pick info could get scrambled. We’ve untangled the wires, everything’s in sync now!
2. Proficiency Unleashed: We’ve amped up your path to greatness (and rewards). Now you’ll earn Proficiency faster.

• +30% Proficiency for Quick Match and Competitive Permanent Missions from Lord and beyond!
• +5 Repeatable attempts for Arcade Daily Missions!

Maps & Modes

1. Yggdrasill Traffic Jam, No More!
We’ve widened the passageways for the mission vehicle in certain tight spots on the Yggsgard: Yggdrasill Path map. Now, you and your ride won’t get stuck between a rock and a hard god-realm. Buckle up, Bifrost style!

Heroes

1. Deadpool’s VFX Makeover:
– Strategist Deadpool Hype Healing: The healing visual effects triggered by katana strikes have been polished up, because even the Merc with a Mouth likes his healing flashy and fabulous!
– Vanguard Deadpool’s Hardcore Trial: After passing the upgraded ‘The Big Test,’ the area Bonus Health visual effects are now clearer than a freshly cleaned katana. Extra health, extra style!
– Katana Afterparty: All Deadpools now get improved trailing and afterimage effects when acing their ultimate with katana in hand, leaving enemies seeing double (or triple)!
– Deadpool’s Screen Scene: We’ve adjusted the visual clutter from the ‘Deadpool In Your Area’ ability for all roles. Wade’s still got your back, just not blocking the whole screen anymore. Maximum effort, sub-maximum interference!
– We hope these visual upgrades improve your battle experience! We’ll keep a keen eye on any VFX that could cause serious interference and continue to polish them until they’re worthy of the Marvel name.

2. Phoenix’s Hot Potato: In rare cosmic circumstances, Phoenix’s ultimate could be destroyed by teammates’ projectiles. This fiery mishap is now history; no more friendly fire!
3. Marvel Moment Mishap: In some cases, when a hero is affected by an Ultimate Ability (such as Emma Frost’s) and another hero (for example, Spider-Man) uses a standard ability to score a terrain KO on the affected opponent, that hero (Spider-Man) could be left hanging without getting Ultimate Ability charge. We’ve set things right, no more tangled webs or cold shoulders! Now, everyone gets the energy they deserve.

Once another patch is out, expect it here on MP1st.
