Conquestadore wrote: Hello everyone! I'm a 3-week old player, am currently progressing fairly well into the game. For the time I've been playing and investing in the game, I think sometimes getting within top 10 of an event is a pretty okay achievement. It has been tough though; the game is not friendly to new players, especially casual ones. I came to MPQ to leave LoL addiction. I quitted LoL completely, and MPQ seemed to be a good reason for a semi-casual layback alternative. (It's starting to get NOT FUN anymore, but more frustrating.. I'm sure most of you know.) And this is why I've decided to make a forum account. PVE aspects = Storyline is "fine".. Nobody really pays attention to it; what people really want is to get more covers and collect/trophy/level-up some of their favorite Marvel heroes. I am a DCU fan, but superheroes are everybody's liking. But at the start, without any proper guidelines, I had such a rough time through prologue. The progress doesnt scale well with the enemy levels. At the very least, it provides a challenge though. Still, like currently how the system is set to knock out at least one of your characters each match (230s matches.. which I've never completed one at all before).. that was my prologue experience. PVE storyline in forms of timed events just kills the fun and interest that people expect. I was really disappointed when things just ended at prologue.. Now, with all the Maggias levelling like crazy and your superheroes are like cardboard targets to their guns.. Come on, you call this a superhero game? Pfft. Guns > Superhero? Why can't my Punisher one shot Maggias then? No tommy gun? Tommy gun > Bazooka. PVP aspects = Stupid MMR system. 2 weeks into the game and I'm facing people with characters with levels 30 above mine.. especially Thorverines and other OP combos. Even now, OBWs and Wolvies are everywhere; new and casual players can't really even get enough covers to level up characters. Sigh, I hope MPQ gets better, or I'd really have to give up my cover-collecting-excitement and move on to something else.

What the hell is the point of getting more better covers and leveling if you can beat the end bosses with any old team. I have a decent mid level team. I can now finish those of events.without boosts just barely. But I have to be smart. Deny tiles. Play efficiently. I'm happy to have some challenge back. The last days of rainbow boosts and op wolvie were too easy. What do you get out of a game that is so easy?

And no, I don't spend on this game.. Always wanted to, but the only time I actually spent was on a 3-hour shield, pre-price-doubling. Maybe some people would think "Oh, you didn't even spend much on this game; in what place are you to complain?" I'm complaining about the fun I should have while playing a Free-to-play game.

You're having the fun you should have playing a free to play game. There is also frustration because if you give everyone everything they want for free most people will never pay and you go broke. There has to be some value for those who spend money. You can get beyond the hurdles by grinding away at lightning rounds and PvE events and getting the standard character tokens which will flesh out your own Thorverine and OBWs. But they will take time to accumulate because you're not going to pay money to short circuit the process and there is a limited number of tokens you can get and not all of them will be helpful.
