Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest R230 Release Notes (6/21/21)
Yikes.
Once in pve the timer bar comes into play the padding of pts and that bar is way off. Dark blue on black background cannot be read. Number of clears is way too small. Checkmark on rewards barely visible to distinguish with all the scanlines going on.
In pvp the name bar looks awful stuck in the header, and as mentioned, the top area is a mess to read.
This would be the first draft version, not a design you should push to end users. It‘s lacking professional work.

Re: **** Morbius (The Living Vampire) ****
I would just like to commend the Devs on Morbius - he is very nearly perfect. The artwork is on point, his animations are great, especially his Vampire cloak sleeve sneer and his powers are great and fit him well. Fantastic job!

Re: What's New MPQ (June 21, 2021)
Yeah imagine if they kept up making the new 4s feed a 5.
One of my biggest disappointments about the game recently. And one of the most perplexing.

Re: Overkill
Autoplay was something asked about in an in game poll years ago, and was certainly greeted with disdain amongst our alliance. As stated above, If you don't want to actually play the game then why are you playing it? Very odd
Re: New Character - **** Mantis (Guardians of the Galaxy) ****
I ran her today with 3* Star Lord and Gamora (cause, ya know, theme 
.) I know it's not meta-powerful, but one interaction I found amusing was Mantis yellow, you give away one of your special tiles for a burst of health. Then I used Star Lord's purple (Something Bad) to take that tile right back. So he immediately cancelled out the detriment of her yellow ability.
On a side note, can you see the dialogue between them with this exchange? Mantis, being all innocent and nice, trying to share one of her tiles with the enemy, and Star Lord getting all indignant about her giving away his stuff, so he takes it right back and scolds her.
"Here, we don't need this attack tile. Please take it and put it to good use."
Star lord snatches it back. "What are you doing?!?! They're the enemy! We don't help the enemy try to kill us!"
Mantis lowers her head and antennae.
I thought the mental imagery was funny.

Marvel editorial did similar with Northstar.Scammy said:Would you consider Mystique's bisexuality and gender fluidity to be a retcon? Her creator is on record as having originally intended her and Destiny to be Nightcrawler's biological parents, but Marvel editorial at the time prevented that from becoming canon. So for decades she passed as straight.
Sort of. Marvel Editorial was at the time handicapped by the Comics Code Authority which until 1989 considered characterisation of LGBTQ+ to be contrary to its very archaic rules. However it is also true that Jim Shooter pushed back against portraying Northstar as gay after John Byrne announced that was his intention. That said and whether with Shooter's approval or not, there is very strong evidence that Marvel allowed, without specifically stating anything, the strong idea that Northstar was a gay man as early as the publication of Alpha Flight #7. That was in 1983. A quote from that comic book when we are introduced to and then subsequently learn of the murder of Northstar's old acquaintance Raymonde:
“And Raymonde had led him out of that dark fear, into the bright clear light of self-acceptance.”
I guess Marvel's editors really could have been tone deaf.
There was also the character Arnie Roth from JM DeMattheis Captain America run (very good it was too although the ending was spoiled by ahem, a certain Mr. Shooter) who was fairly obviously not Heterosexual (and strongly hinted as being gay). Again this either slipped past Shooter if he was hell bent on no LGBTQ+ content or he turned a blind eye.
Looking back (and I don't know if anything has been revealed since) I can see other characters who if they are not Bisexual as depicted without stating it outright it is impossible to understand how not. Selene, the Black Queen of the Hellfire Club, Yukio are two who come to mind.
What makes Marvel in my opinion pretty poor on this topic was that over in the pages of X-Men they had no issue with accomodating Claremont's obvious deeply held interest in alternative worlds of sex where Claremont frequently dealt with mind control, bondage, bizarre and uncalled for naked characters (including the New Mutants!), fetish uniforms and the fluidity of sexual freedom/hedonism that was the Hellfire Club. There was an issue where Prof X gets mugged, he is saved by the Morlocks and he wakes up dressed like this:
There is no explanation given. I was still a child reading all this but apparently it was A-OK with the Comics Code Authority that Professor X wakes up in what I can only assume is Callisto's sex dungeon.
Claremont even wrote Storm in a very sexualised outfit in the Heroes for Hope Famine Special! Talk about a weird place to put that! We are trying to raise funds for starving African children and oh wait cut to Storm in sexy lingerie and then in a studded BDSM outfit! I guess maybe that might raise sales...
Do we want to go and visit the Colossus/Kitty relationship? Perhaps correctly given the fact that Kitty was a child, Shooter also squashed that in the pages of Secret Wars. How was that OK with the Comics Code Authority but god forbid we have openly LGBTQ+ content?
In 1992 Northstar got his day but before then? Double standards. Appalling inequality. Just look at that scene above and tell me how children of the day reading that thought "Oh that is totally normal, sex dungeon!" but Northstar going on a date would destroy their world.

Re: Does classic store need a boost?
The biggest con with this idea is that there is very rarely any kind of added rewards, mostly only traded rewards.
I would not want to trade CP which I can spend anywhere in special stores or Latests, or Latest tokens i can save up for a good group of characters, or guaranteed 5* shards, for a classic token where the dilution is absolute garbage and have a very very very low chance of getting a worthwhile 5*.
I'm just over-the-moon ecstatic for the outspoken player(s?) who could pull classics for 5+ years - from the very beginning of the 4* and 5* tiers - and champ every character ever released in the game. To think that newer players can accomplish the same given the overwhelming dilution in 4* and 5* over the last 3 years of this constant release cycle is just a completely ridiculous idea and terrible advice for those who want to build a competitive roster. It's like a lottery winner encouraging people to take money out of retirement funds and buy more lottery tickets because " look at me! I did it! There's your proof that it works! Just do exactly what I did! "

Re: Overkill
I hate PvE but this sounds horrible to me. I mean if you don't wanna play then just don't play.DyingLegend said:Srheer0 said:I don't equate auto play with Quality of life. How do you tell an autoplay to use the correct powers say if you use BRB, B4east and Polaris.DyingLegend said:They should just get rid of the nodes getting stronger after each clear and just give them a overall average level. Then once you beat the node, you can auto-play it the remaining times you need.
The game is dated in its features and quality of life improvements. They need to do something that makes it less grindy for players or else top end players play down and ruin the experience for players who aren't strong enough to compete.
And how do you tell if your PVP defense team did ?
Autoplay would more or less help reduce the grind in pve. Auto completing the weaker nodes would be nice or if you beat a node one time one way the game knows you can do it again ( minus the rng of the board of course)
Plus they could let you select priority of powers, something this game could easily do. For example: if BRB is in the middle, priotize his powers first.
