On This Day – July 16th in years past

maa_angel_oopsToday was an interesting day in MAA and a somewhat embarrassing day for Playdom.   It was the End of PVP Season 9.   Diamond Leaguers were rewarded with the Spark Plugger, a weapon that paired well in this years early electric attack meta.    Vibranium Leaguers were not only rewarded with the Spark Plugger but got to try on the Blasters Aegis Armor which gave the agent single-target attacks a 50% chance to apply Melt Armor, thus allowing all attacks to ignore defense.   However, the real prize and shock of the day was that not only Adamantium Leaguers were given Angel as the reward, but ALL Leaguers received him too.   A lot of players were happy that day, but I can’t imagine the devs and Playdom were.  Also, the players most angry about this “Oops moment” were the ones that worked so hard to land in Adamantium.    Playdom decided to not take Angel away.   A wise decision on their part.
