    Why are event start/end times so clustered? I'm in the Eastern time zone, and most events start/end at 6 AM, noon, and 5pm, during the work day for many. There are 24 hours in a day, why not space them 8 hrs apart? And make one time in the evening (9-10 PM, ideally) for as many players as possible?

    This has been a longstanding complaint from the EST players. We used to have a 10pm EST time slice (each slice is 5hrs apart except for the current 11pm slice), but some random player made a forum poll. Oddly players voted for the 11pm slice, but it was only a measly 84 players, yet the original development made the change! It's been hated ever since but ignored. I'll have to take some time to find the specific communication but you can simply search Time Slice posts and you'll find a ton of complaints from us EST players.

    Are there any plans to further revamp DDQ, such as, adding SCL? There's no reason for 4/5 players to have 1/2/3* only nodes. It is very boring and redundant. Auto-complete DDQ for VIP players would also be a nice perk.

    [I'd love to be more descriptive but I'm maintaining the 250 character limit]

    Hit monkey is awarded at day 3370 of S.H.I.E.L.D supply, and Magneto awarded at day 3340. Any plans to award the 5* skipped in some manner, maybe during the next MPQ anniversary?

    Any plans on turbo speed play for scl10?

    Any thoughts on a "Pity Streak Breaker" for 5-Star eligible tokens? Nothing is worse than going 0-30+ without getting at least one 5-Star. Some mechanic that guarantees a 5-Star if you haven't pulled one after ## consecutive pulls.

    Isn't this exactly what shards are supposed to be? Used to be there was a random chance to get an extra cover. And the odds of getting that cover went up with each pull you made. Those went away with shards, as each pull brings you closer and closer to a cover

    I don't think the bonus cover odds went up as you pulled.

    There is a pity timer on Bonus Shards per store, but we were told there was no way for it to differentiate 4 vs 5* pull streaks so there isn’t a seperate 4 and 5 pity timer, just for instance a Latest Legends pity timer, and 50 bonus shards are just as viable to it as a full cover worth of shards.

    Back in 2015, Kitty Pryde, The Thing, and Agent Venom were part of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Is adding a faction something that could be added through costumes?

    There have been many boss events where I have had more than 2 million points. Can we get more personal progress rewards for boss events beyond 900,000 points?

    New missions, Events would be highly appreciated. Like a stark-tower with increased Power & rewards every stage or a weekly/monthly alliance-bossmonster
    Is there something like this planned?

    Clearly the majority disagreed with you.

    Selfishly, are there any chances for the forum lurkers—people who have accounts for a determined amount of time, yet didn’t post 10 times in that previous window—to get an Infinity Stone support in the future for not flooding the forum with random posts to up their numbers?

    How often are upcoming character kits designed as a counter to balancing issues that you see on your end and what are the indicators that determine this action? How has the Chasm/IHulk/IShulk “revive” meta affected the game according to your user telemetry ?

    Trap tiles have always been bad design to me in that they can be overwritten, but with Arcade it makes what could actually be a good character worthless. Any chance you guys could rework trap tiles to not be overwritten?

    Yeah, I mean...given that the forum gets about 4 posts a day now, they'd be giving away an awful lot of infinity stones.

    Will there be another character fan poll again where we get to vote on a new character to be put in the game?

    Can you reuse some of the old PVE events, especially the week long Hulk PVE?
