    I hate the Kate Bishop change. I really could've used that blue cover and now it's gone for a few "months".

    The Punisher cover makes him champ material now (14th cover), but I was actually glad not to grind like a madman to get the necessary ISO. Now it's back on the treadmill for me.

    Is Army of One the first event of the new season or a special off season event for Netflix?

    Any info on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Training that starts in ~13 hours?

    Just expect Nightcrawler to be required. We can all be pleasently surprised if there is any other outcome.

    Hi Everyone. Star-Lord (Awesome Mix Volume 2) being the Classic Essential again was unfortunately an oversight, and due to the current testing constraints, we will be unable to adjust the 5-Star Essential node character right now. 

    We apologize for the inconvenience.

    Hi Everyone. Kate Bishop will unfortunately not be the featured character in Hearts of Darkness. Players usually would expect her, due to the placement reward for Unstable Iso-8, however in order to add The Punisher (MAX) as a featured character for this event, we had to break the usual pattern.

    We do not plan on adding her as a featured character in an event next week, however we will revisit her the net time she comes up in a few months.
    @Brigby
    I'm a Punisher fan but I don't need him, I needed Kate. Why is she being revisited in a few months instead of simply next event? She already missed progression a few months ago because it landed on a Boss Event. Can we simply have her rewarded the event after next? The usual pattern has already been broken so what's the difference? This should have been planned out ahead of time, instead of the late notice. This is why players get upset.

    Now there is no time to fix the issue. If it had been addressed two days ago, when we first asked about the issue, it might have been able to be fixed. Obviously the powers that be didn’t want a fix implemented. 

    How about earning some good will by actually letting us know what the rotation will be in the future?

    Something similar happened a couple of weeks ago, didn't it? Was it when the essential was changed to Green Goblin?

    Although I think in that case a Latest was being featured when it should have been a Classic, which people were quick to point out.

    Hear, hear! I fully support this.

    How is it that there's not enough time to fix Star Lord but there was plenty of time to swap Kate for Punisher? 

    And it's obvious that the Star Lord problem is one of oversight, because it's obvious to anyone that plays this game that it wouldn't have happened had there been oversight in the first place. It's like scheduling Taco Tuesday for a Friday, telling people a week in advance, and still somehow being unable to go "You know what, maybe we should double-check that."

    It's that funny mix of "inexcusable but also par for the course" that MPQ has developed a weird mastery over.

    I can't speak for everyone else, but in light of all that I personally will be unable to accept any apologies until actual effort is made to rectify problems.

    Simple solution would simply be to start with the oldest and work to the newest. Easy, predictable, and we could help spot any mistakes.

    But I think it's random to prevent hoarding for a specific character or cover in the Heroes for Hire store.

    My 1/5/3 Kate really needed that blue cover. Even my 5/2/1 Punisher is disappointed. Please consider rewarding all players with that blue Kate cover.

    This is going to sound like a line, but today (Thursday) is my birthday. 

    Presents make both giver and receiver happy. Just sayin'.

    (Seriously though, I agree.)

    The issues with SL vs Kate are explainable if you consider that switching Big Pun impacts a token store.  Switching SL impacts the HfH store, which may be harder to change.  It seems to be automated to a large degree.

     I realize that for some, it may be inexcusable, but it seems to be an honest mistake.

    That's amazing!  A bit of Divine intervention for you right during the Divine Champions event.  :wink:
