    I expected nothing less. new character releases over thanksgiving, Christmas, new years.... you'd think they might mix it up and let those with families and/or activities not miss out on stuff. but nah. they don't care.

    not killing myself for this one. but I need the iso, so i'll join some time during day 1. just hope t100 isn't crazy. usually I push for t20, but I'd have to get really lucky with time available for clears for that to happen.

    just hide the eggs really well, and play PVE until the kid finds them all... don't tell him the last one is in your pocket only to be released after the next PVE clear...

    Is there any major US holiday they -haven't- put a new release on? It was on Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas....

    I won't stress out about playing to win him. I guess I'll just get kicked out of my alliance on Monday night, then I'll rejoin on Tuesday. Then I'll win him a week or so later during his pvp. Yay!

    At this point it seems like it's part of their product plan. Make people alienate their families by dangling the big carrot in front of them at times that they would otherwise step away from the game. Then, after being alienated from all the actual people in their life they can play more, until the game alienates them.

    For anyone who hasn't seen, this is a pic of the new punisher.*

    *may not be accurate.

    Oh, also, I noticed that his abilities are colored Black - Green - Blue in the preview shots. Will this be fixed to Red - Black - Blue for release?

    I knew it was too much to hope for Franken Castle

    I'm not a big fan of the character so take my complaints with a grain of salt. My only wish (beyond not having another Punisher) would've been that it was the Thunderbolts costume. Oh, well.

    With each new release I become less and less interested. So many things that could be easily done to improve the way we play but, as it's ever been, the focus is just on more and more characters that only the whales and addicts can readily max and use. I'm still firmly stuck in the 4* transition with no real way to progress unless I put more time than I'm able or willing to into the game.

    Thanks I guess, you're just making it easier to step away and focus on games that actually reward me at a decent pace. It's a shame, because I love MPQ and have been playing for over two years, but it's just boring for me now.

    But MPQ just helped you give up everything - sleep, food, family - for Lent.

    Is this what Jesus did Easter weekend? Joined a bracket late good Friday then rolled back his stone 3 days later?

    Are we sure that isn't Andrew Dice Clay?

    I'm pretty sure his neck is his superpower. It's not as good as Luke Cage's unbreakable skin, but look! Punisher can't be garrotted, hung, strangled, or have his neck twisted until it breaks! I'm fairly sure this also makes him immune to the Vulcan nerve pinch. He might even survive a guillotine. He could take on the immortals from Highlander!

    He'd better not try it now - devs are banning accounts for using the rollback exploit.

    last releases i went for top 10... this is a no brainer top 100 only, One there is a good chance im skipping the PVE come monday and It will be months before he is needed for another PVE if ever...

    i dont think any of the 4 stars that came out this year was ever needed in any PVE beyond the one after what it was rewarded (maybe vemon but not sure)


    anyone remember the time frame in this

    24 all or is there a 48 in there

    I do admit, if they just present us with a free event token(s) on these holidays, I would be happ(ier) to play (not that I won't, but a mere motivational push I need, as atm I'm feeling burnt out - granted that's my own fault for playing daily).

    Oh no. I'm not falling for that again. Last time Father Flanagan hid one there and now he's on a watch list and can't do Youth Group anymore
