    -- Special anniversary tokens with significantly increased odds of drawing Bagman!

    -- DDQ permanently replaced by single node feat. level 972 Silver Surfer vs. player's Quicksilver!

    We know that you hate it when you get 20 ISO in PVE, so now we change the skip cost in PVP to 20 ISO. That way you can give it right back to us. We appreciate it.

    Anniversary week will not feel grindy, and with another season starting right afterwards no one will feel burnt out.

    Daily resupply every day only 20 ISO, for 14 days

    Upside down day, your weakest characters will become the strongest
    (and the strongest the weakest - nice for all those patch wolvie users, har har)

    Silver Surfer is going on vacation for 4 weeks (he has still a job to do, not only hanging around for fun and games!) - and if you have no 6 covers for him to level up when he's coming back, he will go for another 4 weeks (sorry, guys, strict rules)

    Storm 2* is buffed to lvl 270 on every PvP, so that players use her more often...

    No ideas anymore, others are funnier icon_e_biggrin.gif

    5* Cable (he can travel back in time, so if you lose, you can simply travel back to the start of the match and take it that you never lost)
    Two possible passives:

    Pouches! Every inch of Cable's costume is covered in pouches. Cable's team can collect up to X additional AP beyond the 30 AP limit.

    No Feet Rob Liefeld can't draw feet. No skill specifically affecting a character's feet will affect Cable. This is currently limited to Caltrops, but watch out, Trapper!

    All-new mandatory play mode: What If?

    -- Whenever a match-4 or match-5 is made, board is reset without resulting damage/AP gains, so player can speculate "What if [match] had not happened?"
    -- Also applies to statistically unlikely token/vault pulls: pulled cover is replaced in vault (or removed and token is re-granted); player then re-draws.
    -- Once per week, system analyzes which star level has had greatest utility to player; un-covers all characters in that level to 1 cover/min level. Again, allows player to re-do transition to answer "What if I didn't have those covers?"

    We think this will better integrate the greater Marvel comic universe into MPQ in a way that only has about a 99 in 100 chance of driving the player into murderous rages!

    Half way through the week, Mpq will be invaded by 6* Bishop, who has come back from anniversary week 3 to kill the Silver Surfer and the rest of the 5*s, to prevent the power creep that led to the 7* Ultron, Sentinel & Phalanx node in Gauntlet that only Jamie Madrox could beat (he had to use boosts)

    In 2014 we awarded our players dedication with things like super rewarding tokens and double ISO.
    This year we've decided to award our players with a challenge unlike anything they've ever experienced!

    Get ready for....
    - Half ISO week!
    - Level Maxed triple Silver Surfer Seed Teams in PvP and LR!
    - Community Scaling returns!
    - Increased PvE node cap to level 600!
    - Featured characters are now reduced in level rather than boosted!
    - Powered up characters are now Powered down with only half the covers you original owned!
    - Retreats and defeats now cost you HP!

    See, you're framing your post like all of those are bad...except this one.
    Why is that bad? It means they boosted ALL of the characters except the ones they chose for this week!
