Just got this link in game, figured I’d start a thread for it since I didn’t see one, go over what I see in the survey, and give us a place to compare/discuss (hopefully we won’t have another snafu where a bunch of people get excited about new content without realizing the survey was talking about paid content).
So this is a survey for the 6th Anniversary. First question lets you pick an unlimited number of genre keywords to describe MPQ (Puzzle, Strategy, Match 3, etc). I personally decided to avoid picking anything that says “puzzle”, because I think that’s a minimal aspect of the game. There’s plenty of strategy, but the only actual PUZZLE elements are the few special matches, like Apocalypse or Kaecilius, where you’re forced to play in nonstandard ways or utilize specific tactics to win (where part of the “puzzle” is building a team in the first place). I personally find “puzzle” games to be something where you can get stumped and put it down and come back later, and that’s just not MPQ to me. Probably not a huge thing in the grand scheme of things, but it’s how I view things. I also didn’t pick anything that says “role-playing”, because this isn’t a game that makes you feel like you’re taking on the “role” of characters. The story and background are minimal, and despite having RPG elements (leveling stats and choosing character builds), there’s about as much “role playing” as a Mario game, you know? We don’t have any sort of meaningful decision to make as a “commander” for these teams of heroes, or our own character (a Shield Agent that represents YOU, or something), or the depth with individual characters for it to count. But again, that’s just me.
Favorite 3-star character, everyone appears to be on the list (in the past we’ve had a survey where you picked a favorite, but not everyone was even a choice in the first place).
Told to select the BIGGEST reason this character is my favorite. Given options from “they’re fun to play” or “I like their comics/movies” to “they work well against offensive/defensive teams” (two separate options) and “they help me complete PVP/PVE faster” (also separate options).
Again, Favorite 4-star, not counting, but it appears to be closer to a full list, newer characters are present. Again, biggest reason they’re a favorite. Repeat with 5-star characters.
Favorite Special Versus Event, pick up to 3. Includes events with themed boost lists (Black Vortex, Divine Champions) and special rules (Danger Room, Snowball Fight, Best Friends Forever).
Favorite Boss Events (pick up to 3). Favorite Story events (again, pick up to 3).
And that was it. No broad open-ended questions or complicated questions/options. Mostly a favorites list with a couple notes for why characters are favorites (which could help them design future favorites). Looks like I heavily over-analyzed that first question, huh?
