Marvel Puzzle Quest Developer Q&A July 2022 (7/14/22)

Hi! Would it be possible to up the number of saved teams? I understand there being a limit but 6 is very low. 
I appreciate the work you guys do! I personally think that the dark avengers boss event was cool because it made it more of a challenge and gave some of the characters that don't get used much more purpose. Just wanted to throw that out there because I know people were complaining about it. 
I hope that you guys will do some good character rebalancing in the future to add to the game dynamic because it's mostly just meta characters that are used in pvp now and that can get boring. Thank you!!!

Wondering if you can shed any light on this question that needed "more time in the cooker" on last month Q&A: any comments on the future of 5* god boosts in PVP?  

There are of course many discussion points on this topic but would be interested in hearing dev thoughts on:
- it continues to feel like a lazy bandaid to avoid addressing new 5* power creep, community requests for updating old characters, and the number of new 5* who are considered dead-on-arrival in the meta.  It is a one-size-fits-all attempt to address an issue that is not one-size-fits-all.  A number of classic 5* characters are still lacking even boosted 120 levels.  Some newer 5* are ridiculously overpowered at boost level.

- PVP MMR is designed to not match 450 rosters against 550 rosters until above the breaking point, but with boosts it routinely matches smaller rosters with no boosted characters against 570+ boosted teams starting from 0

- it only serves to widen the gap before a player can be competitive in 5* PVP.  Even a player who starts champing every new latest 5* today is way behind because of the number of characters already in the 5* tier.  It's even worse for players who can't keep up with every latest release, or are still not up to the 5* transition yet, as they fall farther and farther behind on the chances at least one of their covered 5* characters will be boosted when they continue getting matched against 570+ teams

- with new character ability designs being more in-tune with current power levels and the meta, and sweeping updates coming to older characters, this bandaid might not be needed anymore? If the goal of updating older characters is to create balance between character power levels, boosting only a small handful of 5* each week to god levels artificially recreates a large imbalance.  There is no logical reason to do both.

Can you provide more different pvp time zones?  Or variety time slice?

With some of the upcoming changes to the game, including additional 3* characters, are there any plans to improve the current economy of the game? The levels of HP and ISO earned from events is woefully low considering the costs now to expand and level up rosters with potentially a greater volume of new characters introduced. A 200 ISO at SCL9 for completion of a node pales in comparison to the millions upon millions needed to level over 120 4* characters. This part of the game has become too much of a grind

Are you going to continue the Anniversary month celebration in October?  If so, are you planning anything good, like the return of Places of power ??😀, boss events.   So forth.

Can you install a thumbs down button on here?  People should feel some shame when they post ridiculous things, myself included.

We had that.
With enough downvotes posts were hidden.
Including posts from Demiurge - namely the X-Force nerf.
So that button got removed
