I would say Doomday-SecretWar Tier is when your roster can support playing the 3*/4*/LR (all the featured pvp/lr events) with ascended 5* chars.
At that point, all the other tiers are more or less satisfied. 30+ at 550, scores of 4*/3** over 500.
There a decent size population that can play with just 5 ascended chars. I would say they have a distinct size advantage over rosters that only have natural 5* even at the 530-550 level
Having played 10yrs worth of days over the last 12.5yrs (gods help me …) … am I “endgame” ? … per this OP anywany?
Dozens+ of 5★s at 550 (with all meta at 550)
Well, out of 687 chars rostered, 55 are at 550, and that’s after selling off a dozen or so duplicate 550s. So “dozens” of 550s, sure. But ALL “metas” at 550? I doubt that very much. I’ve never been one to push anything to 550 … I push 5s to 530, and I push lower-tier chars to 450 or 475, then leave them to the whims of event rewards and token drops. Send a list of “metas”?
All supports maxed so support tokens and rewards are useless
Getting close on this one. Missing 2 stones, all other supports but 7 are rank 5. The other 7 are rank 4 and all have 1400 or more shards on them, so getting them ranked is wrapping up. Getting them, all levelled tho … 'nother story. Please send rIso.
No need for roster slots so extra roster slots are useless
Have 749 slots, 687 rostered, so 62 open. And that’s after building out a sprawling 2★ farm to push 3★ characters … filled up 80 or 90 slots with 2★ clones … I guess that’s quite a flex on the slots front. However, “extra” slots are NOT useless. Without the occasional +1 slot here and there, I would have already run out. Sure, new chars need new slots, but keeping ascensions going needs even more!
Millions of ISO with nothing to spend it on other than the new characters
Millions on hand, yes, 58M currently. Was accumulating very slowly from 35M to 45M, then recently just exploded upwards. That’s great, but … nothng to spend it on but new chars? Not at all! Am constantly iso’ing new copies of characters that have maxed out in whichever tier. Spending loads of iso all the time, new chars are just a tiny fraction of that spend.
HP burning a hole in the pocket while waiting for vaults that at some point pique our interest
Nope, I always manage top find something to spend it on. Got to feed the machine. It’s usually vaults. Unless the devs can’t be bothered to offer something decent, I’m cleaning something(s) out daily. Yes, roster generates 1,000s of hp/day, and that’s great, but if not constantly fed, that stops. It does make shileds in PvP and daily token pulls trivial expenses. Haven’t needed to buy a slot in 3yrs .. initially the excess came from clearing the first vaults that offered slots, but the surplus has been maintained by the drip, drip of slots showing up in various rewards and offers over the past 3yrs.
We can disagree on this one. My 100+ empty roster spots are completely useless.
Disagree on this one also. Sure, every now and then I need ISO to level up some duplicate character but that is a drop in the bucket. My millions just sit there doing nothing.
Totally glad that you have found something. Every now and then something piques my interest.
I really do appreciate you answering. You have found personal use in items that I find non-useful at this point in my playing career. Thank you for the responses!
How do you guys can play the same game for more than 10 years? I’m playing mpq for not 1 year and quit for 1 year. Just play again for 2 month. Now i feel bored again. Pve ony played 1 time each day. Deadpool daily for 10 minutes. Pvp the same toon. Beat them with no 550 character. Simulator need to attacked, so i can retalite. Please change the pvp, so we can battle lower level. Even with less score. So i don’t have to face the same name and same toon ecen after skip it
One is that we have lost lots of players so you will often see the same names just because there are fewer people playing.
Also your level of roster is not very high so you will not find as many people to fight who are equivalent to you. They usually don’t play PvP much until they have strong teams.
As far as why people keep playing for years….momentum? Weirdness? Neurodivergence? I mean if all you do is play it and ignore social aspects it probably feels a lot more boring. It’s not that complex of a game overall. It is pretty simple though and that makes it somewhat easy to fit into a fairly busy life which appeals to, I suspect , a lot of current players.
A lot of reasons. Routine is one. But for a mobile game it (a) doesn’t really require a huge time commitment (b) doesn’t really require a huge monetary investment to get a good team (c) can easily be played in chunks of a time (i.e. watching tv, toilet, walking) and (d) involves Marvel characters which overall are pretty fun.
Community used to be a major point as well but that has died a bit over the past year or so between stopping free 550 cover swaps, Unity and then issues with game after new devs took over. Lots of familiar names gone from alliances, forum, DIscord, etc. We still have a diehard group but definitely lost some fellow players.
The disagreement re: iso was regarding the only use being for new characters. The number goes up and down a lot but only within a certain range and the overall trend is always up. When it goes down it recovers. So yeah, the accumulated excess once post-iso sits there. Just in case.
If one has a pile of iso becuase they’ve been hoarding tokens, it can quickly disappear when the hopard is opened … but that hasn’t been the case here in a long time.
