    uh... I totally biffed on copying my question on the form, but I was asking for foreknowledge of what the monthly boss event heroic rewards will be (aside from the newest support release). It takes a LOT of effort for an even highly organized team to take t10 and many possibilities simply aren't worth that effort (or we already have them, etc), my alliances are already polling members for commitment level and we don't even know what's in the thing.

    Can we get a proposed schedule for when the other characters will allow ascension (wave 3/4?), including if new characters will be able to be ascended, or will we continue to have waves?

    With the ascension integrated, will we see unique 3 stars outside of the 5-star counterpart?

    Please for the love of all things good in this world can we have a filter to show only characters ready to champ? 🙏

    Would you consider allowing characters for which no champ rewards have been claimed to be turned back into covers? The inability to do this makes the purchase of pre-ascended versions of those characters much less attractive than it'd be otherwise.

    After a decade (insane the game's been live this long), 1 Star Hawkeye & Black Widow got finally 3rd powers.
    I assume this was for tutorial reasons (the User gets to pick one to add to their roster for free during the starting tutorial I think?).

    Will the rest of the 1 Star characters finally get their 3rd powers (Juggernaut, Venom, Yelena)?

    They need that third power to ascend, so yeah, the rest is getting third powers, too.

    Makes sense.
    In some ways kind of surprised such a noticeable and huge change wasn't given a specific post.
    But in other ways not, because other significant character balance changes just kind of happen with no mention (the most recent minor character balances for example like 5 Star Captain Marvel).

    Sure, they are only 1 Stars. But for those of us that have been with this game along while, knowing the history of this game and its character changes, characters of any star rating getting a new power should be something newsworthy that deserves its own mention.
    Who remembers 3 Star Loki and Doctor Doom having only 2 powers? Pepperidge farm remembers...

    Can we at some point do new releases (4/5) on or during weekdays? I know many including myself would like a free weekend not tied to this unpaid part-time job.

    Notes to development:
    Do you have any ethical or moral values where you think it's acceptable to charge 1500hp for a standard token? Why is so much lately a money grab? Can you please for once cut the in game price in half for an actual sale, like many other games do?

    Is the Daily Resupply going to get some love? We just had a great 10th anniversary run, but fixed rewards are less frequent than before (along with a repeat Rhino cover within 6 months).

    Is the wave node bug causing enemies to fire passives when they did not get hit ever going to get fixed?

    Coordination is taking place outside of the game, like a spreadsheet to track PvE bracket flips. There are also more advanced PvP strategies managed on Line rooms. Does the team have an opinion, pro or con, of any of these external efforts?

    Surprised this question was not already here:

    Can you give us an update on the feeder for Venomosaurus? When he was released, it was going to be Soon.There have since been several opportunities to give him a feeder not taken. So what is the plan?

    Are there any plans to use Quandary further to help expand MPQ-lore? The game notably lacks an overarching narrative structure. I think Quandary would be perfect to help establish a narrative environment for the player to explore and operate in.

    Could you add a way to remove yourself from PVE that you have pre-joined but the slice hasn't started yet? Every now and then I accidentally prejoin a slice I did not mean to (due to my own ineptness) and there is no way for me to just say "oops, undo". Thanks!

    I am more than happy for the "quandary died on the way back to her planet" response.
    This isn't a question just an idea.

    I know that early on, the game was actually called "Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign" and that the idea was it'd adapt just that storyline as the overall narrative. I think most of the early PvEs followed along with it, and that's one reason that Dark Avengers are everywhere.

    Does anybody who read that storyline in the comics (I did not) know if they ever finished it? They changed the name of the game when they started expanding past that.
