As some people have probably seen according to the Holiday Plan, we’ve got three new features coming to MPQ with R217. The first two are Live as of… now (well, the next daily patch, so probably 12/11, but it's queued)! with Milestone Quests and Special (Event) Quests!
Special Quests are quests that will run alongside various events and offer rewards for completing specific challenges within missions. They are all time limited though, so take advantage of them while you can!
Milestone Quests on the other hand, are static sets of quests that are placed to keep track of, and encourage, the growth and usage of your roster. These quests feature ramping rewards as you complete more of each of the sets, providing players with rewards commensurate with the difficulty of completing that tier. Once that tier of quests is complete, the next in that line unlocks, with better rewards for completion. So keep pushing through those Milestones and reap the rewards!
The last new feature that we’ll be putting out is coming a little later, Puzzle Ops, related to Johnny Storm’s Fireside Puzzles. We’ll be releasing more info on that soon, but suffice it to say now that players who have been looking for more ways to play than just beating up their opponents will have an early holiday present coming!
With these features, we’ve added yet more cool direct feature related stuff into the game, with more planned. Looking forward to seeing what players have to say!

ThaRoadWarrior said: @IceIX So far my experience of the quest system has been net positive, I'm really happy with it. For Milestone Quests, can you clarify if players who have been here for a while are going to be starting those from scratch, or will the game recognize any we may have completed historically and retroactively accomplish them the way Shield Ranks were rolled out?
dingo said: How many individual milestone quests will there be, and are there set caps to them?
pheregas said: dingo said: How many individual milestone quests will there be, and are there set caps to them? I second this. If that preview one is any indication, we could pound through several of these early ones pretty quick. Does it cap out like Shield Rank does?
JHawkInc said: For all the groaning and grumbling we do, it really needs to be said that you guys have knocked it out of the park this year. Not everything is going to resonate with everyone, but with the wide variety of new characters, some new goons, new events, SCL 10, UI revamps, saved teams, all that jazz, and now quests (that come in daily, milestone, AND themed event varieties?!), you've really done a solid job of addressing damn near everything players have asked about in recent history. Except maybe Supports, but you have communicated that they're being worked on as well, we DO technically have more ways to acquire them thanks to the new Taco tokens, AND they're kinda obviously not the top priority anyways, so it makes sense that if you're going to have something to start the 2021 list with, Supports would be it.Like seriously, you've done a great job having a great 2020, and I appreciate your part in making garbage year better for the rest of us. Looking forward to Marvel Puzzle Quest 2021!
