    What an interesting social experiment this turned in to, perhaps that was the true intent!

    I feel I have read enough comments across this forum to deduce that the community would have actually been happier had this challenge not even existed at all. I get all of the points on how this could have been better, just interesting to see how something that I believe was intended to be a free reward sparked so much negative emotion.

    Now, do they take away community challenges completely, or risk more backlash and try to up their communication with another.

    Agree 100%. It's free stuff. Why are people complaining about free stuff? If we only got the level 1 reward, that is also free stuff, that nobody had to do anything to earn. Who cares if we theoretically could've "earned" more but didn't?

    It's all about the stone. It's my only way of acquiring one, especially now with supports in pvp the whales will forever cheat, err reign supreme

    I'm sure they'll offer it again sometime.

    Oh, I can definitely dig it. I too only have 2 stones and that is only because they were given via the other community events. I personally will never see those rewards as long as things stay the way they are. I do hope that they keep doing these though and that we can win some more soon!

    Better communication would also be great, but shortcomings aside, I love me some free stuff (especially color stones). This entire event though was just kind of interesting and funny. Perhaps like the ol saying "no good deed goes unpunished"? ... or maybe, "if something is worth doing, it's worth doing right"?

    oh oh, actually "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice! ..." *nodding to himself

    Yea we'll definitely get another crack at it. We earned what we earned and I'm cool with that. Could comms and rules have been explained better? Of course but it is what it is. The three infinity stones I have are all from challenges, two community and one forum. The forum one was wild, it was post ten times on forum in a month and you got the lvl 3 Reality Stone. I still think about that one often.

    Great, now I want another community event with Frank Castle called "No good deed goes un-Punishered"

    While I generally loathe the in-game pop-up notifications, this might be a place for them.

    Maybe twice a day send an update where we are with this?

    I'd much prefer a banner or slot next to Versus / Story / Campaign for an "Events" tab.

    We don't even need to have the campaign there since once it is complete it's never used again.

    A simple stat page detailing the live events and their goals next to Versus and Story would do a lot to solve these problems.

    Inb4 "the engine doesn't allow it".
    I guess it's also the reason for the poor communication on the "official" forums

    Does the engine allow explaining who are and where to find „Super Villains” in mpq?

    I mean, the challenge is over and we still have no clue which characters belong to that group.

    How can you guys expect adding some in-game banners/functionalities if you can’t get a simple answer to a question from more than 2 weeks ago?😂

    We got what we got but it would definitely help if all the pertinent information to help the player base try and achieve the task was available from the start. It's like setting a task to match away red tiles and then 4 days later adding "red tiles that are special tiles count twice".

    As a 'collector' of things, yeah it's about getting a shot at an item you never otherwise see available.

    But game wise, the only Stone of consequence is the Power Stone and we already got that one and now with sharding we can all have it at R5.

    Believe me you don't want stones. Woops wrong kind of stones lol 🤣

    Really though if there was more comm coming from them. Hell I didn't even know where we placed

    A poke in the eye is free and really don't want one of those 😂

    Everything else is free

    Just give all of the stones to us level 1.

    Hey mpq facebook users, theres a new community challenge.

    Oh yeah, what's the challenge?

    I don't know, something about villains.

    Kind of hard to spread the word when we don't know what the word is.

    Too good

    I wasn't particularly upset by this challenge, but I find MPQBlaine's comments a bit annoying. I feel like it is missing the main point that we didn't know what the rules of the challenge were, or how damage was calculated so the call to 'gather the community' doesn't really work. Tell us what we need to do and then we can coordinate to reach the goal!

    Not entirely convinced by suggestion that the 'drop in activity' was related to false information being circulated from the data miners. But again, if there was better information coming from an official source then it would be helpful.

    All that said, I'm happy with free stuff so thank you for continuing to run the community challenges. I hope the feedback from the community will help to improve these in future.

    I know me for sure the drop in activity had nothing to do with data miners, I didn't even hear that. I didn't really push because I figured the boss event would take care of it. I assumed it was how many times we downed villains because OBVIOUSLY the boss has WAY less health than even a 450. Not tryin to throw shade your way devs but, you know if the shoe fits lol.
