Would it be possible to just batch update all the old 5* to have modern health and match damage? There are so many 5* that need fixing, it takes a long time to redo their power sets, and match damage/health updates get them halfway there.

How big is the new MPQ dev team?

Any plans tu UPGRADE the Shield Daily Resupply Rewards?, feels ridiculous to get a Heroic token or some forgotten 4* Cover after 1,000 plus days

Since SCL11 is not possible in PvE, are/will you look into adjusting the current ones? I cannot imagine 1-5 having many players. Since 9 is closer to 8 instead of 10 in design and rewards, could you consider making 9 the new 10, and bumping up 10?

StanleyBurrell

Has any work been done to either increase the amount of boosts you buy at a time or put them on an auto refill system?

Phumade

Will aspect rotation ever be enable? Specifically, will the app window ever rotate so the charging dongle can point up instead of down. I.e. when I hold the tablet on my lap, can I have the charge port on top to avoid putting bend pressure on the usb cables

Based on the information shared by IceIX recently, I bet there are an awful lot more players in 1-5 than there are in 9 or 10...

Given how arcane this game’s underlying tech is, would it be easier to port it to Unity or some other commercially supported tech stack?

What’s the deal with Team Ups? Why do they keep being involved in contests and challenges? Why are they firing when enemies are stunned or firing multiple times?

MultipleMan98

Is what's new MPQ dead?

Bored_steve

Is there any capacity to update the android app to allow for "resizing" so its compatible with foldable devices?

DAZ0273

Considering there are no reported plans to make a 6* tier and the 4* tier is very bloated, have you given any thoughts about having a 4.5* tier? It could be made up of some of the existing 4* by bumping up their stats and also some new releases.

Edit: Oh and to answer your question about coping with the crazy summer heat - I do that From standing in the English rain, Goo goo g'joob.

I asked in the separate box on the questionnaire if they can share the percentage of players per SCL.

I'm sure there are a ton of new players in there, but if you look at the rewards and the difficulty, they're too close together, where at least 1 of those is pointless.

Carnifex

Would it be possible to edit our Saved Teams without losing their position? Sometimes I feel like I need to replace just one character, but end up having to delete all my saved teams and then start from scratch to save them in the order I prefer.

Thank you!

Colognoisseur

I’m enjoying the Class of PvP events for the limited roster and progression only rewards. I was wondering if you might consider continuing them past Class of 2023. One possibility is reviving an old event called Evergreen PvP where you could only use characters with green powers. I always was wanting one of those for each color.

Any plan to add a feature that would allow player to generate a list of priority action for their defensive team in PvP ? Example: firing power order for a character.

I have a feeling this break the game.

On July 10th you stated that the Chasm rebalance is "set to go live in the next 8 weeks or so." It has now been 5 weeks and 3 days and we are still waiting. Is this still on track to go live in the next few weeks?

leviticuschom

What happened with July's rebalances? the shortage has been a bummer.

UnityGamer

When you make more than five matches in a single move, you will hear an orchestral chime. What does that mean? Is it supposed to be bonus AP for all colors, damage/defense boost, bonus award when winning a match? Or is it just a leftover.
