The MPQ Grapevine: Spring 2023 Edition

fight4thedream

Welcome to the MPQ Grapevine

This thread is for those forum users and MPQ players who want to be in the know with the latest MPQ developments, information and dev comments regarding the game. To that end, we ask the community to post any information they see elsewhere (e.g. Twitter, reddit, Discord, etc) here, so that other forum users, lurkers and net surfers can have a place they can easily see what's up with all things MPQ.

With that goal in mind, let's establish a few ground rules to help keep this thread easy-to-read:

1. Please refrain from side commentary and discussion. If you want to talk about a piece of information you saw here, please start a new thread about that topic.

2. When posting information you have seen from elsewhere, post the newsworthy information, then mention the source and finally provide a link when feasible.

For example:

Jeff the Shark incoming!

3. Screenshots are preferable but in the event you are unable to do so and are quoting a member of the dev team, please be sure to mention who it is you're quoting and most importantly provide a link to the statement you are referring to. Posts without links will not be accepted unless verified by a member of the mod team.

4. It goes without saying but just in case please refrain from posting data-mined info. That is a serious rules violation and will be dealt with accordingly.

Hopefully, this thread will be able to meet the needs of the community but if you have any ideas or suggestions please feel free to reach out to a member of the mod team. Be well everyone!

I've split off the conversation about the MPQ Grapevine thread to keep this purely for the latest info.

My assumption would be that 3* Torch will lose Thing (who is also covered by Kang) and get this Torch alongside Hammond Torch.

I think that guy in the background is High Evolutionary, so that answers who the next 5 star is.

Phumade

good catch

hygge_hound

Yeah. It ileven says he's the new 5* in tiny text in top left. Every month they choose a new social media platform to make all their announcements.

But, the new themed quests are fun at least. I wish they'd do them way way more.

Says it in the top left of the graphic.

OMG, Why can't that list be included in the announcement text?

Xception81

They said they’re hoping to do that improvement in the future.

But why it couldn’t be a “Today’s News” item?!? Who knows…?

Another new support

DAZ0273

New Support - Gamma Ray - this one has an in game pop up and can be viewed in Supports to see what you can do with.

KGB

I don't know about you, but I just cannot read that greyed out text on my S9+ phone which has a fairly decent screen size. So I have ZERO idea what this support does.

DAZ0273

Rank 1 Match green have 85% chance to destroy 2 other basic tiles (does damage)

Rank 3 match enemy special 100% chance to destroy 2 more of same type (does damage)

Rank 5 Whilst supported character in fight 85% + chance of new tiles dropping being green

Gamma Mutates Burst heal and then next on 10 or more tiles destroyed in one turn, become enraged then deal 50% more damage (not sure if that is match or power or both) then stop being enraged and rinse repeat

Seriously, for new releases I literally have to boot up my emergency phone emulator and read it there... and it's still fricking tiny!
