Marvel Puzzle Quest R306 Release Notes (Week of June 25)

@entrailbucket said:
It's not a clue, "MPQ Veteran" is actually an original character whose powers all revolve around complaining about different aspects of the game. He has a passive that makes him threaten to quit every match unless his demands are met (they never are, but he never quits, either).

Ability 1: No more spider people
Ability 2: Finally, a new meta
Ability 3: The AI cheats

Who were the FIRST characters of the game?

I think I can do this!

All the 1*.
All the 2*, minus Nightcrawler, Electro, OBW, and Ares.
At 3*, Loki, Ragnarok, Magneto, GSBW, the Hood, Spider-Man, Dr Doom (3* are where I'm least confident!)
At 4*, xforce wolverine.

Edit: forgot 1* Spiderman was not there at launch. Also 2* Captain Marvel.

Nothing exceeds like excess ... here are all the releases from launch through the first 5* trio, 2yrs later, plus some notes.

Most of the characters listed as release in Oct 2013 were in-game on launch day (10/3/13); the dates shown here are when character posts were put up covering them on the first incarnation of this forum.

3* Loki was (IIRC.....) the first post-launch character, and subject of the first new character thread, on 10/10/13, one week after launch. Bag-Man was the 2nd, on 10/17/13, IM40 third on 10/24/13, and 3* Spider-Man 4th on 10/31/13.

Hey, my list was pretty close! I think I started playing right before Invisible Woman launched -- at least, she was the first launch event I remember.

It hasn't been the Devs greatest day at MPQ today, has it.

Oh and we still have Supports in PVP to come...

I’m just delighted we’re finally getting 5* Agatha. Her powers look really good too.
