    Many use the "MPQ Forum" spreadsheet that tracks PVE players to jump in a 999 to 0 reset. Why not just build transparent player counts into the game itself? Casual full-progression players will still join whenever (knowing placement is a slog) right?

    The quick claim 50 LL button makes opening LL tokens quicker and more enjoyable. Could we have a similar CP button, eg "spend 1000 CP" which on the classic vault opens 50 times and on LL and other special vaults opens 40 times?

    Any chance to get a bug priority list?

    There are quite a few that have been around for a while, but never got a dev response.

    Can we get a list of known issues sorted by most critical?

    Like a prioritised backlog in the bugs section of the forum. That would be quite helpful and interesting to see. And pretty easy to do, I'd expect depending on what they're using to track them.

    Q) Is there a corner or era of the Marvel universe you feel is particularly under-served by the game's content currently that you would like to play around more with?

    went with a softball this month.

    Note: I'm glad you brought back the 7-day events, I know they weren't as turnkey as we all would have liked in regards to quality of life and reward structure, but it is good to get out of the very limited rotation of PVE events we've been seeing for quite some time now.

    Let's hope it's not post-it notes or random Teams chats.

    Is it possible that you will redesign in-match interface to make calculations more intuitive (e. g. showing if Hitmonkey red ability downs the enemy) and to include all relevant information (e. g. showing character affiliations)?

    A few months back you mentioned you were working on updates on User Interface, Supports, Saved Teams and PvP match making. Can you provide a progress update on these projects?

    Can we please get a new loading screen? The current one is like a year old or older…

    Can you provide the levels when MMR changes? In particular, when do you move into dual 5 star MMR as well as dual 550 MMR.

    Is there a chance you can start powering up niche characters that work somewhat well only with other characters they share affiliation with?

    For example, 5* Wasp is still pretty much garbage, however she might work well with Ant-man or 4* Wasp so why not help a bit?

    Also - nerf Chasm.

    As a long time player I have no interest in the 1.99 Spidey Starter Pack that keeps getting offered. Can we have a feature to permanently decline an offer so that it does not pop up over and over?

    Would you ever consider removing the 'Limited' status from the 4 star characters? Having to wait up to a year to earn more covers in the largest tier already makes it more of a slog, with no decent pay off, as no one uses them once champed. Thank you.

    Have you ever or would consider having a Player Feedback Committee? A group of players at various stages that can give you direct feedback on ideas and suggestions? While you may utilize the Forums and Reddit, having a small dedicated group may help reduce some potential backlash before the rollout (e.g., 5* Wasp rework, return of 7-day events)

    …explanation for recent string of “bugs”? (Chasm not working properly, Kang not working properly, whatever the heck happened to enemy of the state, etc)

    There's at least an unofficial group that has done this after the fact for some things.

    Have you considered putting the bonus rewards and timed rewards like VIP in a calendar instead of having them randomly pop up after matches? May be convenient to keep things like that in one screen and I would certainly appreciate them not popping up while playing PvE.

    Thank you.

    Second. Third. Fourth. Infinite agree.
