Feedback From A Paying Customer
I've spent the past few days reading over the comments in the forums and I felt I should provide some constructive feedback of my own. I didn't title this post in order to sound elitist, just to let the devs know that I have financially supported their game. I've spent well over $200 over the past few months on MPQ- more than I've ever spent on a mobile game by quite a large margin. I did so because I enjoyed the game a lot and I wanted to help support the devs. There's been a LOT of negative feedback regarding the recent changes, and I really hope that the devs listen to their players and make changes accordingly. I was one of the people who had a maxed out Thor and Wolverine. I understand why they nerfed them. I was using them for every encounter, as were most people. I understand wanting to balance things (though I think they nerfed a bit too hard). The nerfs made them practically unplayable for my playstyle so I sold them both while we had the opportunity to get a large return (thank you for that, at least). I would suggest that in the future perhaps not nerfing quite so hard, and instead buffing other heroes powers to make them more useful as opposed to making everyone equally mediocre.
But the nerfs were honestly a minor annoyance compared to the "tanking" fiasco with the latest "Thieves" event. I love the events like this. It's been by-far the best way to earn rewards and level up characters, and as someone who has already burned through the "main" content it was nice having this type of thing to look forward to as I enjoy them more than PVP. But the latest changes make "Thieves" frustrating, and at times, completely unplayable. The difficulty ramps up FAR too much, too quickly. I can understand wanting to add difficulty, but making it unplayable unless you burn through expensive boosts is not the way to endear yourself to your players. My friend, who has spent quite a bit of money in support of the game as well, has all but quit playing because of it, and I'm close to joining her if this type of thing continues. It's not fun. At all. It's frustrating and makes every single match a complete grind to get through assuming you actually CAN get through it. There's a happy medium, and I really hope the devs find it (like, having a difficulty cap that's actually manageable by people who don't have 3 star and up maxed out teams. 200+ is ridiculous.). I really do love this game and I'd like to continue to play it, but as it stands right now I just can't justify spending any more money on the game until things are corrected, and given the sheer number of posts I've seen expressing similar concerns, I know I'm not alone. This isn't a post bashing the devs. I just genuinely would like to see the game succeed and return to the fun experience it's been for me these past few months.

You are correct, it is hard to compete with some of the teams out there . What burns me the most is trying to participate in those tournament and getting attacked 6-7 times will you are playing and trying to get somewhere, but in the last day, It`s been impossible to get over 130 points, I just keep getting pick on in a sense and my team is not that strong, Thor 85, Storm 69 and the rest a few 50 and then very low.
Now when you look at the teams that beat you, most of them are very very strong so it is impossible to get anywhere with out being very strong.
They should let use pick are 3 fighters and then a choice of 10 to 12 matching teams to fight ,plus minus a % up or down to give us a choice.
Also limit how many times your team gets pick for a battle, I mean 6-7 time while I do one battle is crazy unfair for every one.
Everybody should be categorized depending on your teams strength, so if your team value is say 90, you can`t go in an 80 tournament and so on.
Anyway I like all Puzzle quest and this one was fun a few week back, but now I am just loosing patience with this game.0 -
