    It's good to keep hoarding
    You will get two cover by boss event
    Why do you need to spend on it ?

    Personally, I don't think a match-3 gacha game is worth fighting over if you're someone whose primary focus is lore and canon. Most characters get a sentence or two buried in their bio and whatever you can infer from their affiliations; on rare occasions they get their own event. But if you only want to collect the characters you love, maybe try comic books, cosplay, action figures, or trading cards?

    There's 300+ characters in the game. There are going to be silly ones you don't like. But I'm pretty sure most active MPQ players would play as Taserface every time if he was the current S-tier over-powered meta that allowed them to win PVP or PVE quickly & easily.

    Why do the symbiote versions always get to be the 5* version? Spider-Rex would kick stupid DinoVenom's butt!

    Marvel is rich with its own characters like Sasquatch, Shaman, Hercules, Thena, Arabian Knight. Heck, even Armadillo would be preferable right now.

    My point is that I…and I’m sure A LOT of other fans who pay good money in this game want to see you use Marvel’s characters instead of the **** you developers are putting out there.

    If this keeps up, you can delete my user profile in the game because I’ll permanently quit. My money is too valuable to waste on garbage like this. Start being serious or you’ll find a lot more people getting outraged and possibly leaving.

    This is a genuine question with no snark intended; if this character was revealed as 3/5* Sasquatch, you'd be ok with it?

    Not as a dinosaur, but the character Sasquatch and others are much beloved and well established. If people’s are fine with this, more power to them.

    Thanks, I didn't mean as a Dinosaur. I was genuinely curious as to whether it was the skins or the powers that were the issue. If this was Sasquatch (Classic) rather than Brockosaurus it would make no difference to me at all because I don't know either of them. So the important thing to me is what they do in the game.

    As an example, if Cosmo were a bit more Chasm-o in the power stakes, I would not care if they were a dog or Red Skull. The enjoyment is from playing the game and developing teams of fun power combos. But I get that others care and have different drivers for why they enjoy the game.

    I guess the balance is a bit off at the moment between game functionality/ current promotion and Classic comic characters.

    I think the commitment to releasing 5 & 3 versions of the same character are hurting them here a bit. What would a 5 & 3 version of Sasquatch look like in reality? Sure you had the white version that was actually Snowbird for a while but I am not aware of two truly iconic versions of him. The example of 5Talisman/3Shaman would work much better and I think if they are going to continue with this it wouldn't hurt to release 3* that have a thematic attachment to the 5* but are not the same character. That way we won't end up with too many gimmicky versions such as we are getting with 3 out of 4 of the last releases being symbiotes at the 5* tier. I also don't think it will hurt them that much to skip the odd 3* now and again - I don't really think we needed 3 versions of Spider Gwen, they could have had another Spider-verse character to pair with Gwen (Miles?) and it would still be thematic.

    Well, I stated my opinion on his thread and I subscribe it letter to letter.
    If I wanted a puzzle animals game I'd had downloaded one.
    And precisely 5* tier is the most important. It's possible to let pass the shark (and I'm letting him pass by, by fact).
    But another one so fast is just excessive.
    There are hundreds of characters deserving a 5* tier before this one.
    And now I also question this: why do we have to smallow Marvel adds? Don't release a character who is running a few weeks its comic, in order to increase sells.
    Just release a character who is already well known and deserves it, or if is going to appear in a new movie which will be popular without any doubt.
    And not half baked products.

    Spider-Rex origin story gets even better. After he got hit by the meteorite which caused him to swap bodies with the bully T-Rex, get Spider powers and a costume too, he tries to swing away but the tree branch breaks and he ends up crushing the bad guy and some innocent other Dino's! This is a script that Marv Wolfman, creator of Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew would have looked at and said "Nah, too silly". I love it.

    To paraphrase what I said in the other thread, I wonder if this is what modern Marvel fandom looks like. Manga is massively more popular now than super hero comics, so maybe this overly twee stuff really is what’s selling.

    I doubt Spider Rex fans are MPQ whales but that’s hard to say.

    All characters are made up, I thought you should know. Not all of them are dumb, but they can't be found in nature nor they evolve naturally.

    I'd imagine it's a condition of the licence.

    I guess we are different in that way. The reason I play Marvel Puzzle Quest rather than Candy Crush or GI Joe Puzzle quest is because I grew up with Marvel Comics, I watched Marvel cartoon shows and I watch(ed?) MCU movies. The characters in this game produce an emotional response on me. If characters were just a collection of mechanics and artwork... well, why pay royalties to Marvel at all?

    Yeah and I absolutely get that. There are certain characters that I really do like and have some enjoyment playing with ignoring the mechanics aspect. But that's a personal segmentation of age, background and what was around at the time that you can connect to. What has been said already and elsewhere is that it is not just a game for people who have been reading comics for 10 years+ since the game came out. At some point, newer titles that you may not relate to or enjoy or even read will come out. At that point it's just a question of mechanics.

    Im utterly disappointed with this release. But thats only because its another release that isnt 5* Nova (Richard Rider).

    “Looking for a safe place to talk Marvel Puzzle Quest? Consider joining my Discord server here.“.

    Thanks for the info, but I don’t feel unsafe at all. In fact, I’m quite amused with all the children here who got so upset over a post that’s not aimed at them. 😂 I get they Love this game and respect it, but it’s as if I’ve attacked their addiction.

    As long as my voice is heard, others will take comfort that they’re not alone who feel the same way.

    You’re misunderstanding. I get the whole Spider-verse connection that they’re doing as well as 3/5. I just threw Sasquatch out there and everyone is focusing on just that, which is quite amusing. If anything, I recommended in the past a 3/5 Hulk of 3* Grey Hulk (weaker strength/smart mouth) to a 5* Professor Hulk (Peter David’s run).

    I've got 18 550s, I've spent more than I'd care to admit, and I'm pretty thrilled with this guy. I'll probably spend something on him.

    The other big spenders I still talk to couldn't care less about who a character is -- they've spent years exclusively using the 5th most important character from the Black Panther movie, or some weird Spider-guy nobody's heard of.

    I don't think they're going to be losing any revenue over this guy (or anyone else), and I don't see any consensus that spenders are OUTRAGED that they didn't get the exact character they wanted.
