Do you guys plan on working on communicating changes to the forum community in a timelier and more informative manner?

As of now, most of the announcements are lacking in quality, late or both. When bugs pop up, it would be nice to see them addressed, instead of having to scour the forums for an answer. Bugs such as the premature release of the Scotland Yard sub in slice 1 of the last PVE, the incorrect image (3 stars) on the Gauntlet 10 pack that was a reward for the top 10 finishers of the Gauntlet subs. I tell my alliance, that effort and communication are required. If they can't be good in one, then I want them to be good in the other.

I assume you mean an in-game notification...

No need to assume. Please see the bolded and colored font.

What about the players in-game that do not visit the forum?

As per my thread here, why are games that are far above my roster (in some cases, close to 100 levels higher) still marked as "Normal"?

In the real world, normal implies some sort of base level or standard or default or average, so facing enemy teams in a game marked Normal, I would generally expect to see the other team broadly similar to my roster (not a variation of 10 to 80 - 90 levels higher).

For example, right now in Gauntlet, I have two Normal missions to play next. Both share a common character. One of these is 20 or so levels above my general roster (a nice little challenge) and the other is 80 levels higher (and is going to be very very hard to beat (weren't you slowly phasing out boosts?) and guess what, actually not normal).

Is Gorgon going to be a playable character soon, or he's supposed to never be one?

Pylgrim

Has any thought been given to the idea of the much requested "skins" for characters, allowing us to have different versions of our favourite characters?

Pylgrim

Can we have a third chapter in Deadpool's PVE with all the newer characters?

Pylgrim

Any progress you want to share on the fix for the roster slots prices?

Given the desire to increase the number of 4* characters, and the fact that he's probably still the fourth best 4*, any plans to add Devil Dinosaur to normal tokens or provide another way to get him?

Mostly asking because my young kid started playing and he desperately wants a Devil Dinosaur after seeing mine and only being able to get him one week out of the entire year is rough.

What are your thoughts on offering a Deleveling option?

There are some characters that I feel would work better at levels slightly lower than the max to allow stronger characters to tank for them. Currently there is no way to drop a character back a level.

Unknown

Do the members of the development team regularly read the forums?

Unknown

With the new Doom power and Starlord's reduction of costs, are there any other new mechanics you guys are considering?

Unknown

I know you have mentioned that you are planning on making the 4* transition a lot smoother, but what are the plans in place to help us 3* transitioning members?

Unknown

Have you guys thought of any new methods by which we could unlock characters rather than always trying to grind out in PVE?

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=22828 <- this thread has a lot of good ideas if you guys want to take a look (fight4thedream's ideas)

Marvel recently published their first star wars comic. When will mpq get its first star wars character and who would be the best bet to be the first character released?

Marvel does not own the rights to Star Wars therefore they could not release them, Disney owns them under the Lucasfilms, just like Disney owns Marvel and Pixar. They are still there own seperate coroporations under the Disney family, thus Marvel could not give D3 permission even if they wanted to

Any reaction to dropping the bottom 2 Alliance member scores for Competition Results?

I think every Alliance has 1 or 2 members who have Real Life events happen and they are unable to keep up with the schedule, it'd be nice if each Alliance had a buffer for that or for new members who aren't quite ready to contribute just yet because they are still in those infamous transition phases. I think this has been asked a few times in different flavors, but I think 18/20 counting towards Alliance Rewards seems fair. This could also have the secondary impact lessening the crazy Merc swapping at the end of big events (probably not by a lot, but enough to make some difference).

In any case, I'm sure even the Top Alliances have this problem based on what I see in event scores, I don't think it'll change up the landscape too much and it does give each Alliance some flexibility.

Is there any talk about doing PvE co-op hunt like missions. Like the community has to do so much damage to fight say the Hulk 3v1. Players who do the most damage get bonuses like ISO or HP, it would be super cool.

AaronTheLuigi

Every item a player earns, from boosts to team-up powers, from Iso-8 to Recruit Tokens, is tied to the players account indefinitely (as long as the servers for this game are up). The only exception to this rule are covers. Why do covers earned by the player expire after a week?

AaronTheLuigi

Would you consider going back and rebalancing one star and two star characters, like adding third powers to everyone?

With a growing player base and new players coming in, I believe touchups on the lower-leveled characters would not only encourage roster diversity, (I can't think of anyone who would not recommend starting off with one-star Iron Man/Storm/Black Widow,) but also imrpove PvE fights against one/two star villians. (Nobody likes losing their characters because a level 166 Juggs made two red matches.)

Here's a question I've always wanted to ask: Who is Leah, and why is she fighting Loki?

Lidolas

When the two power characters received their 3rd powers, were any adjustments made to the PvE events that featured them. Daken, and now Loki and Doom, are much more difficult now.

What were the results of the experimental matching used in Category-5?

Want was your goal?
How did you measure success?
Were the goals met?
Are you going to use this method in the future? If not, what are you changing for the next test?
