    How many max champed 4* and 5* do you have since that has been your proposal? And how much do you expect to make?

    Truthfully no 5*. I've got five 4* championed characters but they are not maxed. As I'm a clinician, it's not always for me to be playing MPQ all the time. There are others who've spent more time in the game. They could get the opportunity of getting a numbered digital comic/NFT.

    Watched the Hot Ones where Mila Kunis was  interviewed and she said her latest animated series is entirely crowd-funded by NFT’s. Made me think of this thread.

    I still don’t understand the whole thing but it isn’t all get rich quick elite artbuying scams. I think there is something to the artist having some control by having those unique id’s. You can say this is the Official digital artwork. You can’t heist it - sure you can bootleg and ctrlc/v and good on you for downloading pirated media but it’s not the real deal with Bill macneill. 
    What if D3 sold the animations as an NFT for unreleased chars to fund the development cycle? Let’s get 10k players to purchase the same 5$ NFT pack and get Paste-pot Pete (or whoever the forum votes for- think LEGO IDEAS) for the whole game. Don’t tie it to any gameplay at all, don’t offer a marketplace because you certainly don’t want a cabal of players to coordinate on a 3rd party platform to gain advantages over PvP  ;), don’t play with limited release or have rarity, just offer your custys an additional way to spend. By purchasing official artwork. 
    However;
    We have to talk about the blockchain energy vampirism though. Even though I can see the benefits and fully support the idea and discussion of alternative funding sources and want to see artists get credit; until &unless I can see the environmental impact statement that says this process isn’t just pure ecological devastation. Pass.

    ... Paste-pot Pete...
    You made some really good points, but this is ultimately all I'm going to remember. :D

    I know devs aren't making anymore 1, 2, or 3* characters, but if they can make a one-time exception for Paste-Pot Pete, or maybe a 4* Trapstr, I'd be happy. Ok, rant over. Back to NFTs.

     But like what did you buy, exactly? A cell on a spreadsheet with your name in it?

    Guys please Google sky news VeVe. VeVe is doing a Disney + virtual event. Just bought a Wall-E NFT today

    I was reading up and it seems these things are only avilable from a "blind box" which sounds to me like another name for a lootbox. So you can't even directly choose what you want?
    These collectables are only offered for purchase in a blind box, meaning you won’t know which collectable or rarity you have acquired until after your purchase.

    Sounds an awful lot like advertising to me.

    After the pandemic and the severe crisis it seems there are lot of people desperately searching for benefit, and it seems comic collectors would be the eligible fools to rob.
    I don't know much about crypto coins but I know a lot about pyramidal scheme.
    The movie ready player one also talks about the metaverse, and that is what Zuckerberg is desperately working on for to become richer and more powerful then ever.
    Facebook is a global company who hurts 360 million users and hurts sleep, work relationship or parenting for about 12.5% users, and the company knows it.
    Apart from giving disinformation and messing with other goverment countries, and the company knows it but it gets huge benefit from this behaviour and minor punishment. 
    About the NFTs, I don't give a damn for it, honestly. Reading a single comic doesn't mean for me paying a lot of money, for much property of it that I could have, and if the system is a blind box, then the thought of me paying money for that is extremely laughable.

    I hope you are part of the developer team. I am trying to speak to someone to say that MPQ should give us a NFT option. If I've given an example, its just for the devs to look into that product and how they can being that feature into MPQ. If you could help pass across my message, I really appreciate that. I'm not trying to cause any trouble or anything. I'm just saying give the players a chance to trade their comic cover that are readable or in the future soldable if champion maxed.

    The dev team doesn't read or post to this forum and hasn't for 4 or 5 years. 

    If you want to ask them to do... whatever it is you're asking for, try putting in a ticket through the game?  That's about the only way they might see it.

    You just can suggest it here and perhaps devs could do it if they think it's a good idea.
    Also there is the fact that when a number of users are against the post(like happened here) then they never do it, as the forum is a good sample of how the whole players data would think about the theme.

    While devs do not read or post here, they do receive feedback from moderators occasionally. I would guess that it has to be an idea supported by a lot of forumites (forumers?) or thought-provoking like a UI improvement or a suggested mechanic.

    Just to clarify, I report directly to the Forum Administrators regarding matters related to the maintenance of the Forum and the Forum community in general. I have no more say in what gets passed on to the dev team than regular forum users. 

    The Forum Administrators read the Forums and pass on whatever they believe is relevant to the dev team. I am not privy to such matters.

    That is your opinion but I'm talking a game ecosystem where the developer and consumer have a win-win situation. I hope the devs take this on board and ask us consumers for ideas.

    Companies are building a metaverse around their NFTs. MPQ devs can throw in the NFT element and enhance the game experience. Facebook is working on their metaverse. Other corporations are working into this.

    Even if Marvel wants to do game NFT, they probably start with MCOC first. Their revenue is many times higher than MPQ. 2 months of their revenue is equivalent to one year of MPQ revenue. You might want to try your luck there?

    What is MCOC?
  • Sam99
    Sam99 Posts: 18 Just Dropped In
    I've not invested any time on MCOC. I've played MPQ since like 2014. Hence my suggestions are for MPQ only. 

    My suggestion is for MOQ to give us a comic option for someone who has maxed and champed his character. This character would be tradeable.

    It's not for MPQ to decide. It's for Marvel/Disney to decide because those IPs belong to them, not MPQ. Besides, MPQ is runned by game company and they don't specialise in blockchain or whatever technologies related to NFTs. They have to set up another department for this. Since the devs are also owned by listed company, they have to get permission and approval from their parent company. It's not as simple as the dev saying "let's do NFTs" and make it happen in a month's time.

    Even though you played MPQ since 2014, but you have only 5 non-max champed 4*. And you keep pushing for NFT in MPQ so that everyone can make money. It looks like you are going to dump MPQ after you are done selling your 4*. That's my hunch.

    Yes I'll dump MPQ by selling 4 4* champs who are on average lvl 275, 272, 271, 270 and 270. Lmao. 

    My proposition is that 4* character can be given that readable comic status and/or NFT status once it reaches level 370. I can't comment on 5* characters as I have maxed any characters yet. 

    In all fairness I wouldn't mind buying a 5* character if there is a marketplace.
