MPQ Sneak Peek: January 2017 Edition *Updated (1/24/17)

Marvel Puzzle Quest MPQ General Discussion
21

For us PvE folk, he hasn’t been a boosted non-essential since 11.3.16.

22

He was boosted for Naughty or Nice and I think had a PvE essential in there also, so might feel like a lot, but he’s not in the weekly boost any more than normal.

Not since 11-3, and before that not since 9/1. Same cycle as most characters.

We just posted an update regarding that issue here: https://forums.505go.com/discussion/56765

Any chance we could know if we should expect the schedule to continue as normal? (i.e. continuing to Star-Lord/MK(?)/Punisher next). Or will it cycle back to the ones that were skipped?

Also, it just hit me that we may have skipped to Ghost Rider since Agents of Shield comes back in a week.

25

I spoke with the developers, and the reason War Machine, Wasp, and Spider-Woman were skipped is because of the following line listed in the Deadpool’s Daily Quest: Crash Of The Titans Adjustments article:

There are two special cases where this is not true: 1) The character is being added to the order before players have enough time to develop the character and 2) special events like the anniversary (Devil Dino) and Duck Season (Howard the Duck).In this case, War Machine (James Rhodes), Wasp (Janet Van Dyne), and Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) have not been featured at least twice in a Story Event, and that’s why they decided to go with Ghost Rider instead.

Hope this helps!

26

I appreciate that explanation. While I won’t take it as Black letter law, having a char. feature 2 in a pve before having a crash is pretty reasonable move.

Can we use that guideline for personal roster planning purposes?

27

I bolded the really useful information. It’s one thing to let us know what’s going on, but letting us know WHY makes it a whole hell of a lot easier to adapt to, so thanks for that.

28

Can we expecte Moonknight to be omitted then since he’s 2 rotations after Ghost Rider?

29

I don’t think we ever received clarification what the red section actually meant. This communication is appreciated. War Machine in particular was released in May and we have had plenty of time to build ours, but I appreciate knowing where the line is drawn.

You know that you don’t need a maxed character to win a Crash right? Most Crashes can be won with a 130-150 level 4*.

32

i guess this then begs the question, why hasn’t WM been featured in more than 1 event since MAY???

talk about criminal under-usage…

33

Glad I didn’t sink any iso in my Wasp in anticipation of her crash…and pleased they are skiing WM and SW too. Works for me.

I’m wondering if we can expect the same for Moon Knight too.

34

Dangit, I was looking forward to using my recently champed War Machine and Moon Knight. At the same time, I was not looking forward to using my far underleveled but well covered Wasp and Spiderwoman, so I guess it evens out.

35

I believe Moon Knight has been the essential in 2 PvE events.
Heroic after his release event and The Hulk recently.

36

Based off my fuzzy recollection, that means we should look forward to

Ghost Rider - 1/7/2017
Star-Lord - 1/12/2017
Moon Knight - 1/17/2017
Punisher - 1/22/2017
Mr. Fantastic - 1/27/2017
Nova - 2/1/2017
Ant-Man - 2/6/2017
Miles - 2/11/2017
Rulk - 2/16/2017
Cho - 2/21/2017
XFDP - 2/26/2017
Elektra - 3/3/2017
Kingpin - 3/8/2017
XFW - 3/13/2017

then back around to X-23.

I actually don’t mind having leveled War Machine, Wasp, and Spider-Woman to 172 “for nothing.” Now when I get the inevitable 14th cover for them, I’m starting from a much better place than 70 in terms of total ISO to champion.

37

Brigby, can we get an update to this today? The first off-season PVP event will be kicking off on Sunday night; it’d be nice to know what the two off-season events are before then. Would also be cool to know the next PVE after Deadpool vs. MPQ.

Thanks!

38

The next PvE is DA heroic. With Psylocke being the 3* reward for First Avenger I think the best bets are Women of Marvel or Children of the Atom.
