Tower Mode Progression Bug

in MPQ General Discussion

Tower Mode’s second part did not function as intended, with a late release and lack of progression from the first half, so players weren't able to claim their rewards after clearing the nodes. To fix this, we’re going to take down the current version of Tower Mode and redeploy an updated version of the Tower with a version that resolves the progression continuity issue.

This isn't the ideal fix, but due to the inability to retroactively fix already running events, it's the best option we have that allows players to fully clear the 28 days of the Tower for rewards. We'll also be sending some compensation that will include health packs to aid your progression as you reach some of the more difficult parts of the Tower.

Upcoming Towers should not run into this issue since they'll be deployed with a full 28 days in one event instead of being broken up into two halves.

Thanks for your patience! It's been fun to see all the conversations around the matchups in the Tower and we wish you the best of luck as you descend into its trickier depths!

    Would be nice if you just sent the HP equivalent for the health packs instead. Not that it's the end of the world, I'll use them eventually, but I don't need them for the Tower.

    Also it's not a tower it's a gradual slope going down when in all other games you go up.

    :D I think the devs might be fans of Jeff VanderMeer.

    I’ve decided we just rescued a princess and are leaving the tower, facing increasing levels of guards as we go.

    Idk what Marvel Princess there is, but maybe it’s Snow White since Disney owns Marvel, and they made a live action one not long ago.

    Thanks for the explanation as to why the tower reset with only 8 days left. I can let my alliance know they’re not going any crazier than they already are! 😁

    Looks like mine has re-set as well, and the prior progress gone. So is it safe to play now and we can play it through to the end even though the "time left" states only 8 days left?

    The second half of the Tower is set with characters well above Level 600.
    How the heck do They expect most players to be able to beat them and be able to get the better rewards.
    Why would you create a PvE experience that only rewards the players that already have the best characters & supports and don't really need the prizes.
    That is what PvP is for.

    Not exactly a great way to encourage new players to hang around.
    I've been playing for almost 7 years now and I struggled to get past the third tier.
    So I decided that I'm not going to waste my resources to even try doing the rest.
    (never mind even starting over)

    Lots of teams can do this, even low level ones! If you're having trouble, I'm sure folks here would be happy to help you out.

    Basic math(s) dude. 2* x 2* = 4* Captain America!

    Princess in a tower sounds like Rapunzel to me. She's not a Marvel character afaik, so we didn't know the secret phrase to be able to climb up.

    All the muscle heads decided the easiest thing to do is knock the tower down. It's on a hill, so when it fell over the top of the tower is now at the base of the hill.

    We entered through the now exposed first floor of the tower & are now searching chamber by chamber, looting anything we find along the way.

    I’d play that as a D&D combat focused campaign.

    Shuri? At least the version we have who isn't Black Panther.

    Rapunzel is a Disney character (she stars in Tangled) but we could replace her with Medusa who has the hair and the royalty!

    Yeah, I know she is in Disney, just meant I don't know if she's been in the Marvel comics. I was thinking 2* Moonstone for having that long hair, but Medusa is definitely the better choice!

    Counter point: those that have put in the work to fill out their roster should be rewarded for the effort. It's unreasonable for a player with a less developed roster to expect to earn the same rewards as a more developed roster. It simply isn't objective. I get better rewards than you because I can outperform you. That's life. Bucket gets better rewards than I do in PVP because he can outperform me there. That's reality.

    Outperforming is probably not the right wording here. That makes it sound like it's skill based. Instead its roster based in that strongest rosters have an easier time.

    As I mentioned pages ago, this event is like the old Gauntlet PvE where only the strongest rosters were meant to finish everything. It's essentially a gauge of how far developed your roster is.

    Were getting kinda picky now, but the definition of performing is - the action or process of carrying out or accomplishing an action, task, or function.

    Nothing about skill in the definition. Just accomplishing a task, which a stronger roster will most definitely be better for completing most tasks in this game.
