I'm on day 300-ish, and I have to say, this has been by far the most fun week I've had in MPQ! I hope it's been fun for others as well icon_e_smile.gif

    Incredibly awesome week. This is the way an aniversery week should be! The lightning 4thor was the icing on an already stellar cake.
  • Yep. And nice drop rates in the anniversary tokens (although I did get far more purple dino than necessary icon_lol.gif the again the animation is so hilarious that it almost makes up for the power's uselessness).

    Even as a newish player (around 40+ days) this week has been very enjoyable for me...and jolted my roster progression in accelerated fashion thanks to the generous Iso-8 double drops! icon_e_biggrin.gif

    My transition to a star.pngstar.png roster is almost finished already because of it...so thank you MPQ for an amazing anniversary week & an awesome game! icon_cool.gif
  • Yep, let's not forget the tons of iso raining down on us. That's a real treat.
    Here, let me illustrate that. This artwork displayed below shows me among my spoils.

    I have had fun, even though I somehow went the entire week so far without gaining anything but ISO (and HP spent on anniversary tokens, which all became more ISO).

    My only complaint is that as a transitioning player, 3k is nigh-impossible.
    But the events have been fun, all the new character announcements, Thfour rocks, and I liked having a chance at something daily.
  • Totally agree. Fun, fun, fun.

    The LRs have been ridiculous -- placing top 5 has never been this easy; 4Thor is seriously OP -- and they are pretty much giving away 3*+ covers. I've seen more reward action this week than I have in my past 260ish days.

    D3 must be doing something right... they have made their $1/day off of me.

    PS. As much as I want to join in on the "Dino's purple is hilarious" train, I still am not quite sure what to make of it, especially since my Dino is 0/0/3. All he does is wave...

    Use him in PVP as a troll. He has so much health and purple is so cheap that it will slow down everyone attacking you.
  • Purple dino is calling to the artist in me again...
    Behold, a monument to the player reaction upon receiving purple dino over the course of the event:

  • Yeah, best week I've had in MPQ for a while. The adrenaline has really been going during some of the PvP's and Lightning Rounds, while the terribleness of Venom Heroic... actually turned out to be a good thing, as we could pretty much ignore it and get on with other stuff.

    The only thing I'd have enjoyed more is a new PvE with a selectable or EU-Friendly end time and a decent reward... but hey, I'll go easy on you for once icon_e_wink.gif

    As for Devil Dinosaur - peeps complaining should just chill and accept that giving out a premium power 4* virtually for free was never going to happen, but that Devil Dino is far from useless and I actually expect a decent number of people to use it as an anti-Sentry boming deterrant in the coming months.

    Part of what made LRs so easy was the only 20 players per bracket. I was able to finish 1st in several LRs, (something I've never done before btw). 20 per bracket is too easy, maybe if they made it 100, or 250 per bracket? Anyway, I really enjoyed this past week. A lot. icon_e_biggrin.gificon_e_biggrin.gificon_e_biggrin.gif

    Tch, all you people whining about your multiples of Devil Dino... it's a tough life, innit? icon_razz.gif

    Agree with OP, even as someone who's received limited 'token' prizes, the amount of iso raining down has helped to level up many of my existing characters verrry nicely. And LR's have been great, albeit slightly confusing as I got used to 4or (the number of times I used someone else's blue, just out of habit... icon_evil.gificon_lol.gif )

    It's been a great MPQ week! It's awesome to be able to place high in a lightning round with just a little bit of effort, and the rewards are nice - I can play an intense 20 minute burst of lightning round action and have a good shot at top 5, instead of just not bothering and playing here and there to get the 100 point reward. I scored 1st place in one of the lightning rounds, which I've never done before - (though I did land two second place finishes in the days of old - remember when high-scoring players tried to sink their points to avoid landing in first and be "rewarded" with an invisible woman prize, before they made 1st place inclusive of the previous rewards?)

    Yeah, I've had a blast icon_mrgreen.gif

    I took a hiatus for a few months when I just stopped enjoying the game, but I started up again on and off about a month ago because my sister has got into it. We live in different states so it's a cool little thing to share and geek out over when we chat.

    This week ticked all the boxes that it used to tick with me and I've been addicted all over again. The Thor Goddess lightnings were absolutely awesome, she is easily my fave character out of the new ones I missed when I was away (She-Hulk, Beast et al) and I can't wait to some day have her on my team. LOVE the charge tile mechanic. Everything about the week was great, and the amount of ISO I raked in was just rude...along with an amazing amount of 3* covers I needed from the anniversary tokens icon_cool.gif

    Congrats D3, you've made an old fan a new one again.

    Yes, thank you, especially for those Lightning Rounds.
    That was an _awesome_ end to the anniversary celebrations.

    I was at 230K ISO last week, now I'm sitting atop a mountain of 501K, thanks to double ISO, 2K per LR and 20K from one of my final anniversary tokens.
    So, Lady Thor's trustfund is completed, and I can even spend some ISO again.
    In addition to that, my Devil Dino is 4/4/5 already - a fully covered 4* free of charge.

    Thank you!

    I've had so little sleep this week. Awesome job!

    Definitely agree on the praise of Anniv. wk.

    Had my three highest scores in pvp -- over 1000 and 1100 in pvp for the first time. Could have crossed 1200 in the last one but risk/reward was not attractive. The ISO flow really leveled up my roster. My lThor is now covered and soon to be maxed. Picked up a bunch of usable 3* and 4* covers.

    The only big negative is now I'm spoiled for returning to normal mpq. icon_e_wink.gif
