Hello! I'm boosting the signal - Ebolamonkey84 has been kind enough to construct an end-of-2016 Character Survey for our opinions. The topic can be found on the Character Discussion forums, I have given you a link here:

    It would be great if the devs could sticky this in General for a week. He's gotten less than 20% of the usual amount of responses because it's been stuck in the Character sub-form which obviously has a lot less viewers.

    This please. Yes, it is about characters, but this is a long-standing forums tradition, and it merits inclusion on General Discussion because it is of broad interest 'n' appeal.

    Everyone please take the time to vote in this, and give it some thought. These rankings get used by players from all over to make roster decisions and really improve the MPQ gaming experience.

    Flightmaster, I'm following your lead and copying the link in my signature.

    To echo what others have said before me, please vote if you haven't. I can't say how instrumental these surveys to me in building my 3 star roster and how important it is to get a new survey for the four stars because there has been so much fluctuation in that tier in the past year.

    Bump because the last version was very helpful as I was building my 3* roster. It's interesting to see the variance in scoring for each character - some characters are universally loved or hated, but others can have a wide range of opinions.

    If you haven't voted yet, please do so! Trust me, it's worth it. It also generates one of the most fun reads you'll have on this forum. And all this without any of the usual whinging and banging on! icon_e_wink.gif

    *stickied* To echo others' sentiments, the Character Survey has always been one of the most insightful and interesting reads on the forums. A lot of time and effort goes into collecting and organizing the data and providing useful analysis and commentary on the changes within the meta-game. It also serves as a great guide to help players of all levels decide what characters they would benefit from investing resources in so I highly encourage you to vote if you are interested.

    Also I want to thank Ebolamonkey84 and the many members of the forum who have agreed to help with the write ups for this round of the survey (sorry gf is coming over so I don't have time to list everyone who has publicly stated their support for the project but you know who you are and you are awesome!)

    I got to page 3 before that deja vu feeling turned into a memory of doing this at the end of November. icon_e_smile.gif

    Glad this is getting some love.

    Perfect for a slow morning at work! *knock on wood*. I just tossed my rankings & comments in. I'm sure the results
    will be a nice mix of icon_e_biggrin.gif , icon_e_sad.gif , icon_eek.gif , icon_evil.gif , icon_rolleyes.gif , and icon_e_smile.gif

    Left some comments and my grades for each character.

    Personally I think ice man is the best 4*

    Gave 1 to the 3 five star characters I don't have as having not used them I can't really give an opinion

    In the future it is better to give them a 0 as that counts as an I don't know the character vote. A 1 means they are terrible and drops their overall ranking whereas the 0 vote doesn't get counted in the final tally.

    I gave zeroes to lots of 4* characters. Even ones I have 13 covers for, because without seeing them maxed and boosted, you still don't really know.

    This survey needs a "N/A" option. There are a lot of characters I can't rate because I don't have enough covers to make them usable.

    As said above, that is what 0 is for.

    Done and recorded. And it was a lot of fun, too!

    BTW, I'd be willing to help do writeups on characters too, if any more volunteers are needed. I've loved these survey posts since the first day I came to the forum, and would be happy to give back.

    There's a handful of 4 star.png characters that still need volunteers.

    776 responses now. Guess that just shows the difference in traffic between the character sub and General Discussion.
