2

Instead of Thanos pvp shouldn’t that be chasm pvp?

3

There are a few copy and paste errors there, including The Hunt placement rewards and subsequent pve progression rewards.

4

I there going to be a team event for Chasm like there was the last 3 5 star releases?

5

35 Puck shards and I’ll have myself a 1/0/0 Colossus. Woot!

6

At end of season.

7

Interesting the 3 star is TBD.

Wonder if that’s a new one? :slight_smile:

8

It really shouldn’t be since the first one isn’t due until September.

9

But why would it be TBD? There’s like 4 3star characters. Surely that’s a rotating roster by now.

I’m starting this rumour and fake newsing it into fact.

10

Could be a “Odin is the boost placeholder, will be replaced… OH SNAP!” Situation, or they’re putting in placeholders for the coming new 3s already because the PVP list has to be prepared 3 months in advance.
Who knows with this 2012 code monstrosity.

But please go ahead and spread that haha, I want to see where this will gain traction! :smiley:

11

I guess they want some future featured 3-stars line up with special events (e.g. 3-star Hulk will be featured for the She-Hulk Disney+ series tie-in) and have to reshuffle them.

12

any ETA on new calendar/updates for after Chasm PVP?

13

Seems like Hulkform banner lost the boost again.

14

I’m all for HEROIC events but not with Dark Avengers.

Dark Avengers are the most tired characters in MPQ. I am not denigrating the game or the devs, it’s just a fact.

I would be quite happy if MPQ had a settings option that eliminated all Dark Avengers from PVP and PVE opponents.

15

Still waiting on that Lady Stilt-Man alliance event.

16

Off topic and probably wrong place to post but… when was ihulks team up tile match damage increased?

17

I just cross-checked my 255 ihulk with his character thread and the teamup damage is the same at 106. Did he revive or were they paired with Hulkling who increases teamup matches by 40%?

18

I don’t think so he’s currently lvl 450 doing 424 team up and my okoye is 463 doing 411 she’s always tanked team ups for this combo I don’t what happened. But now he’s tanking more than he used to

19

Okoye tanks teamups because her Wakanda Forever passive that increases her teamup damage by 90%. Not because her teamup match damage is high. This due to the Chasm effect maybe?

20

Yeah her team up damage isn’t getting the 90% increase right now.
