MPQ Sneak Peek: April 2016 Edition*Updated (04/26/16)

wymtime

So it is now April and I am hoping the next dev video will come out this week. My how is that they will talk about a fix to the ISO shortage and why they feel scaling up the easy nodes in PVE to normal to start is where they want to go in the game.
My fear is the video will be all about Howard the Duck and his mission that will end with a new cover and why they brought him to the game as a limited character. Oh and they will tell us they are working on some really cool things but won't tell us what they are. Pleas prove me wrong D3.

Surely the punning potential of 'duck' and 'splash' together cannot have gone unnoticed. Hopefully that'll be enough to get Chulk off the load screen. I'd count that a win for April.

Just noticed there is an unusal number of Dark Avengers boosted this week. Guess two-star players will have it extra tough in The Hunt when the buffed options are locked out....

Dave,
If the clash of the Titians on the 13th is going to be Howard the duck why is ghost rider listed as the next 4* battle?

Howard is part of the Clash of the Titans on the cycle starting the 13th, so he'll be the clash required character on the 17th I believe.

Anyone know when the updates coming?

So webbed wonder is an actual PVE???? I thought is was going to be left me growth industry for a Howard cover. Looks like it is an actual 4 day event that will give out a cover. Now if they will do this for more 4* that would be awsome!!!

I would really like to know this, also. I suspect it'll be the one week where I don't have any boosted character championed. Would be good to confirm this.

I assume the boosted characters will be updated at the same time the DDQ list gets updated... So hopefully soon.
Out of curiousity, would you venture a guess about the boosted list? Would pass the time at least...

Interesting list, definitely. I'm wondering if Quake might be introduced into the 4* rotation this week though. She might replace Nova as "the new character", or she might replace Hulkbuster since having both Fistbuster and Jeanbuster boosted the same week may be a tad overkill...

I was considering that too. But, I think it's too soon for the last 3 new characters to be inserted in the rotating list.

Nova was released during the Hunt at the end of January, he was only boosted 1 month/4 weeks later.

Maybe that's why the developers haven't published the list yet.. I'm just simply following the patterns.. perhaps they're considering it too

Quake was introduced in early March, so she's been in the game for a month now too. On the other hand, she was only added to tokens last week, so it may still be too soon. We'll see eventually.

Here are my predictions for 3* & 4* boosts next week:

4*: Iron Man, Kingpin, Nova, Ghost Rider
3*: Luke Cage, She-Hulk, Steve Rogers (Super Soldier), Gamora, Iron Fist

I don't think they'll add Quake into the 4* rotation yet.

David, can you please post weekly buffs for next week? I need to know which Howard cover to recruit and which ones to sit on until after Fowl Play.

MaxxPowerz

So it would seem I am not the only wondering which character's are going to be buffed next? Gotta pile of iso just sitting here...
