In all fairness, a LOT of the costumes have rotated into vaults. You have to wait for them, but you can get them. I have a ton of costumes that I didn't pay for.

Yeah I'm fully aware, but the only ones you can earn through actual gameplay are the ones from Heroic Boss. Otherwise it's entirely RNG.

It's not as if they offer an advantage, though. They do need to pay their people.

...but, like, pretty much everything in this game is entirely RNG?

Not true. You can now earn at least 3 per month in the monthly quest vault.

But only if you're a good boy and never miss a day! Otherwise you can buy like 14 tokens for the green

I'm still waiting for any of the Quality of Life items that should have been added to game ages ago. A new build shouldn't change the ability to roll out things like being able to purchase more than 5 boosts at a time, a "Use X tokens" button to open lots of DDQ tokens at once, fixing the Krakoa support bug or other things that have been asked for way more than some of what has been rolled out in the past couple of years.

It also shouldn't affect their ability to deal with character balance issues. How long did we have to play Chasm Puzzle Quest before they did something? How much longer do we have to play m'Thor Puzzle Quest?

I never see her unless she's boosted.

That's weird. I see her in basically 100% of my fights. It would be a huge quality of life change for me if she was fixed, which means it should be their top priority! Why am I still waiting for this?

We play in different slices. Maybe that's why?

My Simulator is all May/Omega and Chasm or Juggernaut. The only other teams I see are people countering that team with Goose and/or Electro. I only see her in pick-2 when she's boosted.

EB also plays in one of the lowest scoring slices in the last 3 hours. I play in the same slice but I start early. I only see mthor teams while I'm still low points or if mthor or one of her good partners are boosted. In the last 3 hours there isn't much to hit and everyone is trying to climb as high as they can as fast as possible. Mthor and shang may not always be the strongest team, but they are fast and can punch up.

He also plays in the 550 pool which is probably 1% of 1% of 1% of the players. More importantly, if you are going to join the 550 club, what's one of the most likely characters you'd want at 550? MThor of course. Then if you are in that club with only 3-5 such characters, you pretty much are limited to using just her. It's a self fulfilling thing.

EB could fix this problem by selling off all his 550 characters and resigning from the club. Then he wouldn't have to wait on the Devs

Sorry, I thought we were using this thread to call out the devs for not giving us the exact specific things we all wanted.

I'm also outraged that they haven't given us a one-click "open all tokens and use all CP on classics" button, with no confirmation, so I can save time every day. Why has it taken them so long to do that? How long do I have to wait???

Borstock

The best QoL improvement they could make, for me, would be to remove the limits on buying boosts. Its crazy that we can still only purchase five at a time.

She's is pretty ubiquitous and annoying in slice 4. I see her all the time unboosted. Usually equipped with Omni City so she's able to fire powers turn 2 at the latest. She is the character I see more than any other unboosted with Shang a distant 2nd.

Domitronas

I wish we could limit PvE dialogue to once per session. I know there's thw sentiment that it shouldn't be outright removed, and I agree, but it would be amazing to at least limit it to popping up once a day/once a play session

I learned a very, very long time ago not to expect anything when it came to MPQ developers, so I'm never disappointed.

This is the way.

OP, take a break. I've taken several. So many other games to play, hobbies to endulge in, people to spend time with, books to read, trips to take, etc, etc. And if you decide to come back, game will seem fresh. The longer the break the fresher it will be. And if not, you can move on and be free.

Kross

I agree with the "take a break" strategy. It was worked for me in the past.

I am on Day 3555 today.

dxanders

I second the take a break strategy.

I've been pretty happy with progress under this team. Despite them being a small group of developers, they've been offering both regular character updates and some great QoL features. And if they've inherited ten years of tech debt (a distinct possibility), or even a fraction of that, I don't envy their workload one bit.
