    How about you put a deal together with the Puzzle Warriors 3 podcast guys to pass on information and Q&A answers from time to time? That way the devs just have answer a few questions/give info in an email?

    By the way, David, you forgot to mention that there will not be a Q&A video for the month of June either (yeah, I'm assuming, but c'mon). Please be so kind of disabusing early the ever-diminishing faithful instead of allowing them to hold their hopes for the first two weeks of the month.

    Sorry to say it looks like monthly dev videos are on hold for the foreseeable future.
    Planning, shooting, and editing the videos cuts into development time and the devs would prefer to prioritize updates and fixes with the game right now. There may be one-off vids discussing certain topics and there may be text-centered chats again at some point. Nothing additional to report regarding videos or dev chats at the moment though.

    That's understandable, and probably for the best. The videos were nice, but they weren't the most efficient means of communication, and I'm sure they took a lot of time to produce and edit.

    That said, I think IceIX's LINE chat prior to the 5* launch was one of the most efficient and useful communication events in the history of MPQ, and the overhead time was pretty trivial. I understand that Cthulhu is in a different position than Ice in terms of history with the game, and may not be able to give as many off-the-cuff answers, but I think something like that is worth trying again.

    Maybe Cthulhu and a dev could spend a half an hour or so on LINE with some of the players, with the transcript released afterwards on the forums. Some of the most useful communication we've had on the forums lately was when the developers stuck around after an announcement to answer some quick followup questions. Some quick, simple questions, even with some constraints on the topics or tone of the questions, would be a great way for some relatively quick communication without a lot of burden on you or the devs.

    Best. Suggestion. Ever.

    They've already done interviews with people from D3 and Demiurge so this is the logical next step. Having the PW3 guys give information and then discuss what it means for the game (considered opinion, not spin) is a MUCH more positive way of delivering news, and would bypass the instant negativity of many forum posts.

    Devs, do this. Now.

    And Jean Grey is the featured fourstar. This might actually be tolerable.

      6/9/2016)* She Hulk Deadpool (It's Me, Deadpool!) Gamora Black Widow (Grey Suit) Loki
    4* - Thor (Goddess of Thunder)

    Any body else noticed this and been intrigued by the highlighted bit? Its worded differently to how its usually written when referring to the Clash of the Titans fight.

    A chance it might actually be winnable in an ordinary added fight in DDQ?

    That little asterisk in the block you quoted leads to this at the end of the OP:

    Thanks for catching the discrepancy. Fixed. It is Hulk. The calendar had the event listed as Trial by Combat, but it's actually Smash Hit.
