Hi everyone,
Anthony and Dave at Demiurge sent word on plans for a new character rebalancing philosophy. Read on for details:
We are going to start making changes to characters in the game with the goal of creating a more balanced playing environment. To kick off these changes, the Lead Designer on
Marvel Puzzle Quest
, Dave Guskin, would like to pass along a message describing the rebalance philosophy to the players.
"Our team has been looking at the health of the competitive game in MPQ, and we’ve started to identify ways to change some of the characters that are much weaker or stronger than others at the same rarity.
Our goal is to provide a more diverse competitive experience - more variety in teams encourage different strategies and more fun ways to play! Some ubiquitous, strong characters dominate competitive play - we want to reduce the power of those characters just enough so that other characters of the same rarity can compete with them for a spot. We also want to increase the power of underpowered characters - the ones sitting on the bench, fun and interesting but not powerful enough to compete - to give them another shot at competitive play.
So, beginning with the close of this Versus season, we’ll start releasing more regular updates to existing characters.
At the end of each Versus season, if we have characters to change, we’ll message those changes out.
At the start of the next season, we’ll enact those changes to characters and give players an opportunity to sell changed characters for increased value due to the changes.
This is an ongoing process - we don’t expect to achieve perfect balance overnight, but our goal is to regularly address the most significant issues in the competitive character landscape. Our team is interested in hearing your thoughts on these changes - play with them, see how you feel, and let us know which characters you’d like to see updated next!"
More information on the first characters to be rebalanced will be on Monday, September 19th.
