It’s that time again folks! I know we’ve had a lot of changes lately and even more to come so let’s field those questions!

183 days ago you announced we’d soon be able to upgrade supports - why hasn’t that happened yet?

“Supports will be upgradable: In addition to leveling them up, you’ll be able to promote them from one tier to another. 3* Supports grow up to become 4*s, and so on and so forth.”

This right here is why I wonder about the save your champion 2.0 questions because we’ll be releasing information on that “soon” comment.

“Soon” is a very relative term in MPQ.

Cl10 was coming “soon” for two years.
Never hold your breath on MPQ.

There should be no save your questions for 2.0. You guys have hinted at something that can fundamentally change how players operate. It changes how we should deal with our day to day resources we earn. So no. There is no reason the most important question should be held back. You should answer. Stand behind what you have created. Show that you believe in it.

Your form is no longer accepting responses.

I mean the answers won’t be given until October.
I sure hope their dedicated champions 2.0 Info will be given before that.
Because if not, this place will burn.

No doubt. So if we could make all questions be about it. That would be cool. As is, nobody should spend resources until we know what is going on.

Thanks for the catch! Flipped that switch back on.

10

We do plan on fully supporting the feature and answering as many questions as we can. There is just going to be a designated space for that and our team best equipped to answer those questions will be directing their attention there. So stay tuned for that FAQ page!

Yep! These DEV QA Questions won’t be answered until early October. I can safely say we’ll definitely have more information on this new feature before that :wink:

Q: Now that roster slot tokens are a thing, any chance we get those as Shield Rank and/or Shield Resupply rewards?

13

Clem can you hear me?

[Note: I submitted a condensed version]

How do you feel about PvE 48-sub refreshes?

  • Does the extended sub time help your team?
  • Does your metrics show it helps the players?
  • Are you looking to use this in new PvE events or considering removing from old events?
  • Personally, sometimes it helps me with life, but the rewards are frustrating. Any chance the node awards could be increased (e.g. doubled or extra number)?
15

Are we still getting a new dedicated community manager or not for the forums?

Hi Team, here is my question :
when you play MQP since a long time and you are CL10, events are quite always the same.
We already have the puzzle gauntlet event once per month, which is fun and tricky

So, can you imagine to have a special cl10+ event also once per month like that with another conditions, in order to play with more champions ?
for example :
day 1 : only 1 star
day 2 : only 2 stars
day 3 : only 3 stars
…
and/or some funny constraints : use some synergies or tags (only X-Men or Gamma Mutates allowed, …), Enemy team takes damages only if at least one enemy is stunned, or if there is a special kind of tile on the board …
thanks

17

I don’t think we could survive SCL10 PvE only using 1-3 star characters..

I believe they are trying to do this with Boss Events, such as, the High Evolution boss was Heroic with only GotG characters

18

Would it be possible to have the ability bar show powers as being non-fireable despite having enough AP for characters that have conditional requirements for activating ? For ex.5* Colossus blue needing an enemy special tile present. If you try to fire it but no enemy specials are on the board, you will receive the pop up window saying that the power cannot be fired. Perhaps just show the power bar in the UI for multi-conditional powers as being disabled unless both the minimum AP and the conditions are met so we don’t have another distraction to deal with in the midst of a match. Thanks!

19

Would you consider giving a stone to more than one person in season rewards? It can be really disheartening to have only one winner and wouldn’t break the game to have two or three winners, especially when half of SCL 10’s T1 already have the stone.

If the players did more during the Community Challenges, we’d all be rocking Power Stones!
