    Nice post. Can only hope it gets noticed by the developers. Shame to see an actual well thought out, constructive post, fall on deaf ears.

    This weekend was close to the breaking point for me. Loads of events, that main bracket on PVE opening up from nowhere making the previous days efforts redundant, the nerfing, the sharding, the list goes on. Never seen anything like it really. But then I have stopped giving them money and play less, so I guess I am making my own, minuscule, statement.

    Davecazz, top bloke and a real privilege to run alongside him in the S.H.I.E.L.D ranks. Good luck with the game developing, I actually had no idea how successful your app was until I read this thread and looked it up! Keep it up bro, and be sure to let us know if that match 3 game becomes a reality.

    Ladder.

    Get a marvel license. I'll jump ship. In fact if I'll even do your art (or at least try) if you need someone. Or you know be community manager, because everyone needs a community manager.

    lol, I wish it was that easy to get a license. I would probably want to do something along the lines of pocket god where it's violent and inappropriate.

    I just checked your game - looks awesome... Maybe now you'll have some time to update it since the last update on Google Play was in December 2013 ^_^
    Always see the silver lining =D

    lol, I get the most **** about not updating the android version of the game. NGMOCO licensed out that version of the game and built it. We have the code but no way to efficiently update it as much as the iOS version is updated. From now on we are going to use unity so it's not a problem but we just dont have the money to bring the android version up to our quality bar.

    I wish I could, the last estimate we got for updating the android game was $200k. We just dont have that money sitting around.

    Same If you ever make a Match 3 lemme know!

    However to toss ideas out there if you combine PAD free flow tile movement with a Character progression system similar to dragon warrior monsters and AP based move sets that are learned/forgotten in a pokemon style ??
    *tosses money at the computer*
    Obviously I've had time to think it through so some minor degree but I'll admit im completely out of my depth when it comes to the ability make such a thing reality.

    How about making a DC Puzzle Quest instead? Or Dark Horse? Licensing will probably be easier? Hell, doesn't have to be based on a comic universe. Even just a single franchise like Transformers or Thundercats.

    Do a DotA or LoL based Puzzle Quest game, I'm sure that would work.

    If they did that, one member of your roster would be killed every week, you would have to keep playing in order to have anyone left alive.

    Just like the nerfs here then, only the char is taken away completely instead of taking up roster space.

    Isn't that basically what they're doing? (SHOW SPOILERS, HAVEN'T READ THE BOOKS)
    Loki = Joffrey Lannister
    Storm = Catelyn Stark
    Ragnarok = Robert Baratheon
    Wolverine = Rob Stark
    Thor = Ned Stark
    Spiderman = Oberyn Martell
    Magneto = Tyrion (???)

    I just want to say one more time, thank you guys for the nice words especially about my game. The last 6 months have been a little bit weird, our last game ooga jump totally bombed and despite still having a decent rank, pg is not bring in nearly as much revenue as it used to (it's still decent but I have to supplement with contract work). So this last 6 months has been a crossroads in what we plan to do next. Hearing from people like you who appreciated our game definitely inspires me at a time where I didn't have a lot of gas in the tank. I kind of needed the break badly because working 7 days a week 12+ hours a day for 5 years is pretty friggin tough but I'm definitely starting to feel the itch again to do something kick ****.

    Also want to thank the people who sent private PMs about this as well. I really appreciate the sentiments.

    Also, despite all the **** and moaning about MPQ. I had a great time and I really needed to get lost in a game for a while. I haven't been able to do that in quite a while. Coming from someone who has the game with the most content updates on the app store (47 and soon to be 48 not counting bug fix updates), I am truly impressed by the frequency of updates and amount of content added to the game. I hope the game evolves in a way that makes everyone happy and it continues to do well for years to come.
