    Wow, I was having so much fun with MPQ before finding this forum and realizing I really shouldn’t. 😜
    I played for six months without sneak peeks, without anything resembling a long-term strategy, really. I was just happy to open the tokens with my kids. 
    And then, I’m happy to have thet tidbits of info this forum provides, I’m happy Boss Events are back, I’m happy I found an active alliance, I’m happy for all the covid freebies and in general I’m quite happy with how the game is balanced.
    Just wanted to bring in some positive comments, but please, feel free to ignore. 😉
    I think anyone who enjoys the game should do so.

    The players here are very invested in the game and how it is run.  So we see issues that people who play more casually may not.  We've also been playing for a very long time and seen a lot of different things come and go.

    We would not be invested if the game itself wasn't well made and fun to play in general, but there are always areas of improvement in any game.

    I hope you continue having fun, and you'll probably better off if you keep your emotional investment at the low end......   ;)

    You realise of course how ludicrous your post is, no? As if finding the forum should change how much you enjoy anything? "Oh no, I used to enjoy Ice cream until I learned you could put sprinkles on top".

    You may need to go join the Red Hot Chilli Peppers Under the Bridge...

    When I was a kid my brother would always put sprinkles on his ice cream. So many sprinkles that it was like majority was sprinkles and very little ice cream.

    So my best guess is Hellcat uses her combo to eliminate 8 enemy special tiles quickly ? This would have been a nice 5* power and extremely popular.
    It would be a lot better if it removed them (or stole them) so that Beta Ray Bill's passive wouldn't trigger. But in 4* land it's probably quite good just destroying enemy specials. Especially since that will include CD's and Repeaters.

    Playing HaT right now, her power would sure come in handy right now...

    What is the excuse for not updating Sneak Peek? :/

    TBF, just moving those tiles to the bottom is useful in it’s own right.


    @DarthDeVo

    Thank you again for picking up the slack. I just wish they’d start giving you that token and make it official.

    Best use of Morgan Freeman since the True Facts series.

    I guess we are flying blind until the June sneak peak

    Well, the Hellcat thread revealed that the PVE after MRG is Webbed Wonder.  That takes us up to the 28th when the last PVE of May will run (although one could start Sunday the 31st).  The most likely candidate - the longest-ago run PVE - is.......  Simulator.  🤢 

    Which would result in another PVE on 5/31, probably Venom Bomb.

    Some Cage (presumably 3Cage) is next, followed by Hellcat's, then some off season thing and we'll be getting into the new season as May closes.  Hard to know what, if any, PVP theme will kick us off.

    So:

    May 25: Webbed Wonder

    May 28: Simulator (probably)

    June 1:  Venom Bomb (probably)

    ----
    May 21:  Cage PVP

    May 24:  Cat outta Hell

    May 26:  Off-season PVP

    May 28:  New season starts

    Yeah but what about the reward changes, new shield training details, etc 

    Just seems odd how the Facebook page is being updated more than the forums lately.

    I guess if they don't give out false info, they aren't liable to give out free shards

    They always have this in the post:

    (*Important note: Anything listed below is subject to change before release. We will try to update any changes in a timely manner, but please keep in mind the info below is not guaranteed.)

    So, they are not worried about that.
