Hi everyone,
Some members of the community have asked us to provide a little more info on the reasoning behind the new change in Power Upgrade purchasing (
Command Points are now used in place of Hero Points
). With that in mind, here’s word from Demiurge on the change:
“With the Champions update, it should be increasingly clear to players that we've prioritized the long term health of Marvel Puzzle Quest by giving players more to strive for, and longer term goals. We've learned a lot about what we sell in game since MPQ launched more than two years ago, and the Power Upgrade system hasn't changed in that time. We've come to prefer selling things that help you earn rewards, or create new gameplay, rather than things that let you get the reward directly, skipping over gameplay. It can be fuzzy which is which, and it's much easier to sell rewards directly, so there will always be a mix of both types of things for sale. But the more we can offer of the first type, the more satisfying the game is for people and the longer you all stick around. Also, a greater percentage of Command Points come from gameplay than is the case for Hero Points. Instead of something that most players would buy directly with real money,
earning
a Power Upgrade now shifts to a long-term gameplay goal for all players.
So there's 2 things driving this decision:
• We want to extend the life of Marvel Puzzle Quest by letting players earn rewards rather than buying them directly.
• Switching to Command Points means more players have interesting decisions they can make.”
Thanks as always for your valuable feedback! We will continue to monitor how the change is being received as we move forward. We’ve got an exciting 2016 planned with lots of cool new updates and features on the way that we hope you will enjoy.
