Season Pass vs Quest Vaults

in MPQ General Discussion

I really liked the past weekly and monthly quests that gave me (if completed) a full vault of useful rewards, specifically ascended 4's and covers to feed my backlog.

I found the 1k HP Season Pass in the anniversary season to be a good value offer too and figured it's ok for all the extra events to pause the quest vault for a special season.

Now it seems, the quest vault is gone and what's left is a 50% price increase of a season pass? Which yields 3s and way more uninteresting rewards than the previous vault. A bit hard to tell because there's no aggregated display of that huge list (probably to feel like "whow its a lot" without inspecting it boils down to 1 costume, 1 LT, 1 CT, 1x advancef support token and 7x 3 Namors).

I'm not feeling any push to buy that Season Pass nor to do their free quest rewards for the time it took for some of these quests. Especially because in the past season I completed the pass in like 2 out of 4 weeks.

How about you, how does everyone value this?

So... could I get that sweet vault back 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

    ya the Mods should say if we are getting it back or not. I honestly don't miss it cause the stuff to do was boring and a slog to do.

    Gotta agree here. I was excited to have the pass back when it was announced in the Rivals post. Now that it's live, I'm not really feeling the increased cost. I was also sorta expecting the season vault and quests to start back up since anniversary ended. Maybe that is also helping diminish my excitement.
    Contents are good enough and full transparency, I'm still gonna buy it because it's a very easy way to get resources while doing what I was gonna be doing everyday anyways, playing the game.

    Regarding the seasonal vault and corresponding quests, I don't see why we can't have both the pass and the vault each season. If the devs are on the fence about which one to keep if it's going to be one or the other, my vote is for the vault.

    Wasnt it 1600 hp old one was 1200 so not 50 percent more

    I got it cause I like clicking on buttons lol

    Really though quest vaults was really getting boring also I think they went

    If people are willing to buy out vaults with asecended people in them why the hell are we given them away free

    It would not shock me if they nade one free in vip

    After seeing the list i think I wasted 1600hp

    The anniversary season pass was 1,000hp, has there been another one since then?

    Anniversary one was first and only. This one is the second run.

    1500 hp is literally nothing to me at this point in the game and I still don't think this pass is worth it. Thankfully there's some rumblings on discord that seasonal vaults will be back next season, but if that's the plan why would they skip this month in the first place?

    Devs should say, not Mods. Nothing to do with Mods, players should educate themselves before making comments here.

    Yep, the forum mods are just volunteers who don't work for MPQ or have any inside information.

    I like my forum mods unofficial with a heavy dose of shenanigans. Where @ThisisClemFandango ?

    @S0kun Many thanks for elaborating this. Looking forward then :-)

    When I hear 'season pass' I imagine unlocking some special privilege or perk temporarily. As it is it's just a glorified vault with so-so items and worse because I have to pay for it.

    Isn't most games season pass the same way

    I wouldn't be shocked if they merger the two

    Taking the seasonal quest vault and turning it into the season pass

    Rank 25. Will be one of the 4 star ascended

    Rank 50; will be the other

    They said they like daily quest to make people daily this would make them do it more. Since you wouldn't be able to get lucky and pull them on your first pulls and stop playing

    I'm not here to discuss the contents of the season pass, but I am going to say that it's not very diificult to finish the pass extremely early. As we speak there are 20 days and 15 hours left and I'm halfway level 48. So there will be a lot of quests I can basically skip because I get nothing out of it. More levels would be appreciated. I , or others, still might finish early, but at least there's still something to play for for another couple of days.

    I could see them even taking this a step more. And it will replace the vip

    Basic. That will give tokens maybe a few covers for free

    Middle ground. Give out more tokens hp. Maybe shards and 5 star or 1 ascended . Will cost hp to join.

    Vip season. Pass. 5 star. Up to 3 ascended a slot and outfit for 10 to 20
    per month

    But we should see 2 paths for awhile I say it be at least 6 months after the combine thing hits before we see a 3rd layer. Could even see

    Free. 10 bucks. 20 bucks and dropping the entire hp fee to join dropped

    Depending on items I be more then happy to drop 10 per month on it

    Wonder once the merger thing hits
    Pass level 50
    60 percent chance small iso
    20 percent chance for shards
    10 percent chance med Iso
    5 percent 1 star cover
    2 percent chance 2 star cover
    1 percent chance. 3 star
    .5. Percent chance. 4 star
    .1 percent chance. 5 star

    Percents might be off

    Though the 4 and 5 star will be too good. Maybe outfit or support shards

    I would love for an ascended 3 to 4 star in the VIP rewards.

    I don't think they will have a merged pass/vault replace VIP (because I believe passes generally do not require spending cash to access the premium level).

    I do wish they would do something with VIP though. Add in some support tokens. Bump the iso. Maybe throw in some shards for your favorite characters, like replace Elite tokens and Heroics with some 3* and 4* wildcard shards. Even half a cover would be great.

    This (VIP overhaul) has been long-requested. Even some minor tweaks are long overdue.

    S0kun just announced on Discord that future levels of the Season pass (i.e. those beyond 50) will give out Iso temporarily.

    Also they plan to merge the Pass and Season vaults in the future, so the "psychic of the year award" goes to @slidecage!

    I've completed the season pass, but as far as I can see I'm not getting any ISO for completing extra levels. Or is this for the next Season Pass?

    It is intended to be this Season Pass but they've not updated yet due to the other issues taking priority. I'm not sure if the surplus XP is stored in the background or not.
