MPQ Sneak Peek: August 2019 Edition *Updated (8/23/19)

I think everyone would have been happy with the release test , but to have the essential straight after an almost impossible vault is ridiculous and will make lots of people quit the game 

if it is indeed just a test then fine but if this is the new plan for 5*s then I’ll be playing a lot less than I do now 

time for the design team to give us back something worthwhile

Nobody is going to quit.
The whales will continue to spend like mad.
The people who are still playing now will continue to do so until the servers are turned off.

Going forward, is it going to be 4 latest epics, 2 classic epics? Asking for a friend, @Brigby

Thank you, @DarthDeVo. This is exactly right. I’ve spent a few days thinking about it, because your post is so insightful, and I’m ready to act. Time to cut this cancer out, or at least start treating for it. Because I’m their target. And there are healthier ways to have fun.

Player base is down and my interest is waning (pvp is taking much longer due to fewer players).  New releases have sucked and I was already reluctant to continue with my regular spending - this fiasco encouraged me to write another 1* review.  

I've probably got more hours logged into Teppen than MPQ since its release.

Hi Everyone,

With the release of Professor X, many of you are aware that we are trying some new things out; details can be seen in his Character Release article and the above Sneak Peek update. While we’ve already seen some positive feedback regarding the additional option to earn him with Hero Points, we’re also aware of players expressing their concerns about Professor X being featured in the upcoming Unstable Iso-8 event.

We understand that this scheduling is different than what players may be used to, but rest assured that this is merely something new that we’re trying out this time, and is not necessarily reflective of the schedule moving forward. While we won’t be making any changes to the current schedule, we always welcome and encourage players to provide any feedback they may have, and we’ll be sure to take a look and review them!

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

That's cool.  My alliance mates and I have collectively decided to take two months off from spending.

Thank you for your patience and understanding! (eye roll)

So little time so much hate. Guess it might tell the response to the super odds given to draw Xactly what we are after. I bought a 10 draw; got only 2* guys xD

The rockett

With the posts that @JHawkInc and @bluewolf posted, I hope the Devs read these.  I was gonna post something but these 2 really knock it out of the park and I will hold onto my last warning for another time.

I hope you don't take all the posts as attacks on you.  You get the brunt of things because you're the forward facing rep for the company.  Just putting it out there that we (well the majority of us) understand the constraints you're under and appreciate the job you're doing...

@Brigby
Please pass my thanks, and a lot of other ally’s, that season end isn’t the same as a PVE end.  This in fact will be a Boss event, which is the BEST way to end a season.  It sure makes our lives so much easier.

Mixed feelings about the more recent 4* being rewarded. Black Cat green is awesome, as it will let me finally champ her and cash in all the Saved black covers I have. Ronin purple brings him to 2/5/5, tho, which is always frustrating. Well, there's gotta be a green coming along at some point.

TPF Alexis

Nice! Sabretooth's getting champed, too!

spidyjedi84

Green cover in X-Men Vs. Apocalypse alliance rewards will let me champ Sabretooth with 5 saved covers, and if I'm really lucky with my Alliance's help, seven saved covers. Sometimes patience does pay off! I'll also get one more cover for Black Cat via progression from the event, leaving her to be one cover shy of 13.

MrEd95

Is 5* storm not getting boosted for this event? She does come under the category for Storm does she not?
