Sometimes its hard to get that MPQ game time in especially when your girlfriend (lol!) says you’ve played enough for the day and puts the bad-case on your phone again.
So now your phone is in the bad-case and you can’t play anymore! But uh-oh, the event you were (barely!) number 1 in is about to end in just an hour!
Here’s what I do to get that last little boost in -
I keep a cell phone in a ziploc baggie and keep it in the tank of my toilet (the water part on the back). So after dinner (usually grits, biscuits and gravy, chicken and waffles and some zuchini!) I’ll hold my tummy and go “ohhhh, ohhh” and then I’ll say I need to use the restroom. At this point your wife will check your phone to make sure it’s still in the bad case so you can’t send secret messages to your mom or girlfriend any more that evening, and once she approves your scheduled bathroom time you can slip in and remove the phone. This will buy you at least 15 minutes of play time, plus you get the added benefit of sitting on the toilet and using that nifty shelf on the back to prop your arms up for the phone to rest on. A+! You can also use the duplicate phone to send secret messages to your mom and girlfriend, but that’s not recommended as it reduces marvel puzzle quest time and they don’t really care very much (lol!).
Still didn’t get enough game time? That’s okay! Because we can get another 10 or so by helping out our furry feline friend. You gotta get a cat if you wanna do well in mpq guys! Just hide a phone in a ziploc baggie underneath his litter! Then you can tell your wife that you’re just gonna go scoop the litter out and spend some quality time with the little guy and secretly you can game it up! Be sure to pet him a little while you’re there so the little guy isn’t lonely.
I’ll keep it short and sweet. Family, religion, friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in MPQ. When your nodes refresh or your shield is expiring, you don’t want to be driving to a maternity hospital or sitting in some phony-baloney church. Or synagogue.
During the week, finding play time is pretty easy: I’m my own boss and work from my home office, so I can schedule my work around half-hour breaks during node refreshes/shield expirations and the like.
During weekends, my kids, girlfriend and social life take priority (pretty much in that order). I have MPQ installed on my tablet and not my phone so it won’t become a distraction when I have better/more fun things to do. Usually it only means that I might score a bit lower during the weekend pvp than for other events, but I’ll admit that for this Ultron event it means that I’ve gone from one of the top PvE scorers for my alliance to someone in the middle of the pack. I might not even get that last prog reward, but c’est la vie.
You can probably add another 5 minutes on the toilet if you pretend to have constipation. Or you can be like me, eat a square of prune cake and you’ll be visiting the toilet A LOT.
