MPQ Developer Q&A December 2023 (QUESTIONS)

Character art was one of the big strengths I noticed when I started playing this game and I feel it's gotten worse overtime: it seems like you work with the same few artists consistently, will you be "opening up the ranks" in the future?

please add rewards between 25 and 50 PvP wins. Currently I always stop once I reach 25 wins. It's hard for me to reach 50 wins, but if I try and achieve, say, 45 wins, I get very frustrated that there was no reward along the way.

There's a notable dearth of female villains in the game. Any chance we see some of the more notable ones like Enchantress, Spiral, Typhoid Mary or Lady Deathstrike this year?

Danger would be a god boss fight.

Why did you move away from having Boss events on holiday weekends? Can you offer the new character again for people who were actually on vacation and deserve a break?

Currently the game has a very predictable schedule for pve on Thursdays:

New 4 release
Boss event
3/5 Release
Normal pve for normal rewards
Repeat

The way this runs it also makes it so that there is a 3/5 release just as the season starts, so that various release events and stores around the 5 can run at the beginning of the season, then there is plenty of time to drop the new 5 into Latests at the start of the next season after the new character boost ends, and all tokens get updated. Etc

So while it may seem like boss events fell on holidays before the fact is they are just following a 4 week pattern and sticking with it because the seasons also follow a 4 week pattern (well, running for 3 1/2 weeks then a couple off season events).

I assume this makes things a lot easier for them to plan things out vs the old days where we usually had 2 4s between 5s and sometimes no 5 entered Latests at the start of a season, so some 5s stuck around an extra month, but others got less than 3 months in Latests.

I do understand your frustration to be clear but I suspect the devs prefer focusing on parts of the game other than trying to make events in game line up with the calendar we follow otherwise, and some players probably had little to do over the holiday and enjoyed in game events to entertain them.
