Hello everyone,
I started playing this game again for the DPD at the start of the year after a long break.
I started playing in earnest again around Ultron and played for a few months, then quit again because the game kept pushing me into tougher brackets that were increasingly impossible to place for even a single cover. I actually enjoyed Ultron, although not the late-rounds where he basically single-shot you and it all came down to board roulette.
Things that kept me playing this game:
3* DPD - made me start playing again and slowly fill out the gaps in my 3* roster
Promised 4* DPD - False advertising. It is not a way of making 3-4* transition any easier. Instead it’s almost impossible without a fully covered 4* roster, and doesn’t meaningfully aid in the 5* transition either. It’s more of a teaser for uber-whales to get them to spend tons of money.
Anniversary Week - A complete joke in comparison to what I understand last year’s was. Also, they took the worst parts of Ultron and doubled down on it. Round 5 and Galactus isn’t even playable. Over in 3 turns unless you get an exceptionally good board, or you have Silver Surfer (i.e. <1% of the player-base). Anniversary tokens have greatly reduced odds, so the effort doesn’t even pay off. Was looking forward to this, now just extremely, extremely disappointed.
Hypothetical new gameplay mode to ease transitions - They’ve been promising this since around the first run of Ultron (same time 4* DPD was originally talked about), but based on everything else in this game I doubt it will change anything.
So let’s all agree to just cut the cord and move on to better things. They clearly want us to pay thousands for a SS to keep playing the game, which isn’t really reasonable for the vast majority of gamers, so lets speak with our feet.
To the crew I’m running with for this event, I apologize, but I can’t even play this event (wipe every time with a developed 3* roster, nearly all in 140-166 range, with a few reasonably covered 4*s), so there’s very little benefit for me to keep trying. And more generally, everything that comes out of the devs mouths are false promises. Almost every seemingly positive change is offset by something negative that counteracts said change or makes it worse. And they just get more and more greedy.
I hope some of you think about joining me, instead of rewarding the devs’ disrespect for their players. I’ve also unshared and deleted all my Google spreadsheets related to MPQ, since I can’t in good conscience encourage people to continue playing this game or spending money on it. I know I’ve threatened to quit before, but now you know I’ve gone through with it. I’m done here.
Good night, and good luck.
tHD, out and away
