Polygon.com Article: Thor: Goddess Of Thunder & Infographic

David [Hi-Fi] Moore

Hey everyone,

I wanted to point you at a very cool Marvel Puzzle Quest article over at Polygon.com. The story contains some in-game artwork for the just-announced Thor: Goddess of Thunder and an awesome infographic featuring exciting stats and images covering the first year of MPQ.

You can find it here:

Quote:
"It's only been a few months since Marvel shocked comic book fans by revealing that Thor's hammer and his title were being passed on to a woman for the first time ever. Not one to be left behind, games have embraced the new character as well in a surprising place."

Devil Dinosaur will be introduced as a playable character via an Anniversary Pack and as a daily reward for Day 365 players beginning on October 8

Super excited.

The infographic talks about the Dark Reign storyline ending soon. Does this mean we should grind out any unclaimed rewards from the Prologue before it disappears?

Cool infographic and nice article.

Nope, the Prologue isn't going anywhere. Just that we'll actually be wrapping up the Dark Reign portion of the storyline over the next story Events is all.

Perhaps we'll be seeing an Iron Man 3/Extremis-esque PVE release for good ol' Rhody??

Goddess Thor will be a 4 stars character then ?
Would be better to have it 3 stars, I am ok to have leaders like Nick Fury, Charles Xavier or Iron Patriot as 4 stars (Why not even a Dr Doom or a Magneto pre-berf). But too many 4 stars on "normal" characters and the game will only be a Pay to Win. If Goddess Thor has more than 10000 life (surely a 15000) and is as good as 3 stars Thor, it would be impossible to win a full 4 stars team with Thor-X Force-Fury.

says hi.

None of them are all that scary if they can never have the AP to use their abilities.

Does this mean we'll see Captain America (Sam Wilson) as a 4-star character at some point? That would actually be really cool. Would love a character that uses both Cap's playstyle (abilities that gives back AP on shield return) and Falcon's playstyle (creating and powering up special tiles).

The only problem is that X-force doesnt need that much green just buy green boost and its only 2 match and its gg for Hood. I think that the 4* Thor will the new i win char pretty much like Sentry.

It's a progress, something that will/may/should motivate vets for further play I guess. I believe it is fine that we move towards characters, enabling a whole new 3 -> 4* transition.

Yup. I have mentioned it a few times in the forums too. There is no need for more 3* characters. Maybe one or two every now and then, but the real desire is to have a 4* tier that offers playable characters that can co-op with each other.

My guess is that after a solid tier is established, they will move to being the end game.

Linkster79

The infographic leads me to believe the UK is the second largest MPQ territory, yet 12 months later you still shaft us with end times for all new character release PvE events and the majority of PvE events?

Unknown

It's still absolutely hilarious to me that Marvel is trying to push this as some kind of revolution when we've had women be Thor in the past several times and we currently have a character that's a Thor with a horse skull for a head.

What then do you call the 5 stars? What's beyond legendary? Maybe only the cosmic beings, Galactus, Living Tribunal :O
