Hey everyone,
For Run 2 of Avengers vs Ultron, we raised the score targets because we were releasing a new 4* character. After Run 1, we checked the score targets and based on participation in Run 1, felt that completing Run 2 was an attainable goal.
The number of players we expected to complete Rounds 1-7 was accurate. In Round 8, no team made it past 30% of the score target, except for two incredibly valiant teams that completed the event. This implies that a lot of players couldn’t see the finish line and threw in the towel, which is not what we wanted to happen.
We’d like to do a couple things to make it up to the players near the end:
For everyone that completed Round 7 and made it into Round 8, we’re throwing in an additional prize, an Ultron Reward 10 pack. These will go out in a daily patch, so expect them to arrive sometime late tomorrow.
For the teams that completed Round 8, we’ll be giving you a 4* cover of your choice. Please contact support in-game by tapping the Help button under Settings with your request.
Finally, we’d like to tip our hat to the 40 players that completed Run 2; you saw a very high bar, rose to the challenge and stayed committed until the end. Much respect to all of you, and thank you for playing Marvel Puzzle Quest:

TL;DR: Score targets are hard, and we set this one too high. We’re sorry. Please enjoy some additional rewards.
I am very proud of our alliance which made it to Round 8 as it took a massive effort from everyone over the 4 days of the Ultron event. This will be a well earned way to underline our achievement along with all the other alliances that were able to make it that far.
By the way, my hats off to the 2 alliances that made it all the way…that is an unbelievable milestone that required both amazing dedication & true team effort!
Hats off for the rewards. Very nice. However I think it would be more fair if they were reversed that complete round 7 get the last hulkbuster. Complete round 8 get an extra 10 pack
Thank you Kabir! Some well deserved recognition to the top 40. I know that our line chat looked like an online math class for Ultron#2, especially when round 8 was revealed!
Congrats to those that finished, that’s quite an achievement.
Pretty lame that you only get compensation for completing round 7+ though. Our alliance blew through run 1 of Ultron with almost an entire day to spare. Run 2, we were about 3 million away from finishing round 7. Easily avoidable by stating ahead of time that this run would be more difficult. I know I “only” had 1.3 million points in run 2 so I don’t deserve anything… that just sucks.
Bit disappointed that there’s nothing coming for round 7 non-completion, but I know that some members didn’t put in the effort to get us there, so I suppose that’s an us problem.
Major kudos to the 2 alliances that did finish. Nice that Colognoisseur gets 1000 iso for his efforts.
Really. Mother flipping NOTHING. Not a freaking thing. Because my alliance didn’t finish round 7, we get NOTHING. Because my alliance split our top scorers in to two brackets we get NOTHING. Because you intimated that you could change nothing for the 2nd run of the event we get NOTHING.
That is absolutely INSANE.
I just. I can’t even. WHAT THE MOTHER FLIP.
So yeah, go ahead and pat yourselves on your back. You guys…
I worked harder for that past PvE than I have in almost every other event and instead of awarding us for our efforts you give us the finger.
I realize it’s not personal, we’re just numbers to you after all.
Often, that’s not the best metric. I’m not sure how many many total wins against Ultron was needed to defeat rounds 1 through 8.
When every person in a 20 member alliance needs to work perfectly and spend an hour grinding through 10 games every three hours for 4 straight days, sometimes you have to ask yourselves – Would this be fun to do ourselves?
While I appreciate the Devs efforts to compensate those who gave up when they realized finishing round 8, there should be some compensation for people who didn’t finish earlier rounds. X-Men 4, for instance, didn’t start with a full group, because so many members had finished the first run of Ultron with more than a day to spare. Only when it was discovered that Ultron’s health jumped so much in round 7 did they try to add members. In the end, they fell short of completing round 7 by 100k. It seems unfair that alliances that scored 100k higher – in other words, alliances that completed five more Ultron nodes – get a 10-pack, but the team that fell just short got nothing.
