    Did you guys try to tap on the spot where the node for 5* essential should be? Yeah sounds evilspirited, but I know that being p*ssed makes you not think of simple solutions. Maybe it’s just visiblly not there but you can actually access it

    Tried several times. Nothing happens.

    And yeah, no 5* Elsa from champ rewards as well... @%@&##&%!%!&@*#::#

    Well, looks like the 5-star node is missing just about everywhere, so I guess it won't affect placement? :) Here it isn't in Doom's Dystopia...

    It's on Android - Sentry Gunner, Sentry Flyer, Sentry Fighter for Banner so I am guessing it will affect placement?

    Still haven't received any 5Elsa rewards with her intro on Thursday that everyone else go...

    I have a Yondu-370, Yondu -323, and Elsa-365. So I know i should be getting something...

    Any ETA on when those will get pushed out? (Clock is ticking on the mission to earn extra shards). :cold_sweat:

    It's almost a given that next PVE will have the new 5* as essential. Let's see if they push any updates to fix this reward fiasco before next PVE, but I'm not holding my breath, given the dev track record and it's weekend.

    I cant wait to laugh at the compensation we'll be given for all this.

    Seriously, nodes not even showing up?

    Yeah... probably bunch of ISOs, USELESS rISO, some meager tokens, some hp and few cp. :|

    I don't know if this has been brought up but I'm not receiving bonus support shards in Winter Soldier's pvp. I already have a 5* Peni Parker support.

    It seems for me (beta Unity) that the supports do come through, but you don’t get a popup notification of it.

    So I guess I’d double check and keep track if possible.

    Others have said they think they are getting them.

    A bit of a recap for Steam Unity as I see it. Extra notes in [square brackets] I've seen from more official sources.

    Bugs that affect game play:
    1. Missing Node on PvE Strage Sights challenge [we won’t be able to fix this event before it expires so it’ll be a part of the Steam compensation]
    2. Missing Elsa and Yondu rewards, and possibly in Winter Soldier's PvP [will post an announcement about it later]
    3. Occasionally doesn't allow you to make any matches [Dev have several example videos]
    4. Really laggy/slow when it wasn't in the old (pre-Unity) version. System memory and CPU usage is really high. I suggest that Unity build's gets a configurable "target framerate" option.
    In Unity there is also a "on-demand rendering" option, that can help with CPU bottlenecks and lag.
    5. Rewards are delayed hours or don't pop up.

    Bugs that affect a user's experience:
    1. The GUI doesn't deselect a roster's character portrait. (looks like you can have a 3+ selected)
    2. Growbar does not grow/display accurately
    3. "Today's News" button doesn't work
    4. The Software version displaying during a battle should go away once MPQ is stable again.
    5. Events used to stick around for a day after they complete, so you could see your rank.
    6. Roster filter is not always 100% accurate/consistent.
    7. Board resolution seems lower. It probably is auto-scaling.
    8. Enemy character visuals are wrong for a second while they are loading.
    9. Enemy character countdown tiles no longer "throb" when you have a pending ability

    Fixed bugs:
    Multi wave node points bug, and tracking point in PvE
    Daily missions were not giving you credit. i.e. Play 10 Missions, Stun with character X
    4 matches don't clear more than one row.
    When leveling up powers, XP wasn't displaying correctly.

    This is by no means a complete list. I am just a player, doing a "brain dump" of the events over the last week.

    I'm missing the vault for Strange Sights. I have the three for each corresponding day, but not the main vault.

    Since this is a release event, you get tokens for the limited HP store instead of for the event-specific vault. This is one thing that is not actually broken in Unity :D

    Completely forgot about the new character. Day Trip store, thank you.

    Talking about tokens, i think I've been receiving Pride Month tokens after cleared out the Vault while still days to go before the Vault expires. Seeing there's no way to reset the Vault, i wonder if those tokens still there after the Vault vanishes...

    When the vault finally expires, you'll see them waiting at the bottom, in a "post-event" vault, which will appear empty. Each pull will be against a full vault. If you have a pile of pulls, you could pull some of the best items multiple times. Or some of the worst multiple times. Step right up and spin the wheel ...

    I'll add that you should play whatever character you used for the daily play token even after the vault expires. For example, the Fathers Day Vault that we all just had. Started June 12th at noon EST and lasted for 5 days and 22 hours. I got my last token on the 25th. Got an extra week's worth of tokens and did pretty good with the post event vault pulls.

    Edit: should add that a weeks worth is pretty rare, usually an extra 3 to 4.

    Does anyone remember marvel heroes? It was on pc for ages and then it started to lose money, so then they ported it to consoles to bring in more revenue then it crashed and burned and they shut the game down?

    Just a random thought for the day

    Yes. I also remember when Marvel Avengers Alliance on FB was going to revamp everything because Flash was being abandoned by FB. We were all assured that everything would be fine, the game was still thriving, and they had just updated their official forum website with a new look and they wouldn't have done that just to close down shop. The announcement that the game was going to close down permanently was announced just a few weeks later....

    Hopefully this is just pointless rambling and reminiscing and not relevant to MPQ at all...

    They really fudged it up when they poured all their resources into Avengers Alliance 2. I think that got repurposed into Marvel Strike Force coz it looks similar.

    I remember how gutted I felt when the game's end was announced. I was just getting good at pvp, as in I had the cheesiest team on defense. The last character released was Adam Warlock and they just gave all the currency for free so we could play till our hearts' content until the final moments.

    X force deadpool and x force psylocke and the agent with hand of apocalypse to punish boon buster, I used to cackle doing pvp, more enjoyable than pvp on mpq for sure.

    White suit Iron Fist was amazing before they nerfed him. A full team heal that also made your entire team immune to debuffs. Most of the time I didn't even need the heal, I would just immediately fire it off to get the debuff immunity.

    It definitely felt like "Avengers Alliance 2" was a contributor to the end of the M:AA.
    They were somehow expecting M:AA players to migrate over and leave their years of investment behind and start all over, for a game that (IMO) didn't appear to be as good as the first or have nearly as many features. Those features get added over time, and a launch game is usually very light on QoL features.
    It was like how when they migrated from their own servers to Facebook servers, which reset the User Hero & everyone to Level 1, totally effing over all Golden Equipment. That caused a large exodus of players that maybe contributed to "the end".

    Don't forget White Suit Invisible Woman and her "immune to debuffs" passive too.
    Psylocke was a BEAST in this game for sure.
    And how Dr Doom & Kang couldn't be used in a full 3 team setup.
    I could talk about Marvel Avenger's Alliance for days. Still miss it. I still have my OCD google tracker docs for my roster & ISO progress (like many of us have for this game).
    It was a kind gesture to give players basically unlimited currencies for last the last week or 2.

    I wish somehow someone could have made a "private server" of it somehow, just reusing its content with all its Spec Ops and such. Alto gameplay that required Facebook friends (like the boss battles grinding out the 8 Covers to roster the new character) would have been hard to replicate.

    Ah well, back to waiting for this 'experience' to replace my Android version of MPQ.

    Observations w/ rewards. Got the proper rewards from the Strange PVE event overnight. 1st time that has occurred. Still haven't received 5Elsa rewards yet from my characters...

    Suggestions
    1) delay next switchover until after July 4th weekend (next weekend). It wont be helpful to switch over on Thursday and then you are out-of-office on Friday 7/4.
    2) extend Mission to use 5Elsa's powers, or you're a going to have to just give them to Steam players, as we haven't had a chance to earn them.
