EDIT: added missing text calling out two more leaderboards in July; so three in total.
We, the Marvel Strike Force team, have heard your feedback. We are considering the issues and concerns raised by you, the community, including our Player Voice Council. We hope all of you are excited about some of the positive changes we believe we are bringing to the game for July and beyond!
Slower Character Releases and MORE REWORKS!!!
For new characters, we’re ensuring a longer window between releases. Moving forward, we are targeting three new characters per month, going back to our historical averages, whereas we've been releasing closer to four per month recently. We’re also establishing a more predictable schedule of when character shards will become more accessible after their initial release - these details will be shared with you soon.
For character reworks, the team has shifted gears to focus more on updating older characters and respecting your long-term investment in them. This will take some time to manifest as the character development pipeline is typically set in motion about 6 - 8 months in advance. We will call out in the weekly blogs when reworks can be expected.
MORE GOLD!!!
Regarding all characters, we know that the availability of Gold is causing some frustration, and we’re making improvements you’ll see soon. One of the updates will be a revamp of the S.T.R.I.K.E. Pass (Free and Premium paths), which will contain a meaningful amount of Gold - more details coming soon. Another addition is free and premium login calendars with heaps of Gold as rewards. This is in addition to the recent changes we pushed for War rewards in which we increased the Gold availability.
Player Agency and Theorycrafting
We refer to “player agency” as the level of freedom a player feels they have to invest into teams they want to build, not necessarily the teams they feel they must build. This “theorycrafting” has long been a pillar of the game, and we’re reinforcing it.
Some of you have told us Cosmic Crucible is your favorite game mode, and we respect your passion. We’ve heard your concerns about some recent changes made this year regarding Cosmic Crucible. There will be significant changes to Season 4 and beyond, opening up opportunities for theorycraftng. We have already shared our plans for the room changes with the Player Council, and we will include them moving forward.
No More Orb Hoarding Events
We are doing our part to reduce the need for hoarding by removing certain event types. We’ve changed the July schedule to ensure no events reward opening Gold Orbs and Training Orbs. The team is also discussing the frequency with which we'll utilize Leaderboard events. As an example, one leaderboard is planned for the July month-long meta milestone event, along with two more separate leaderboards. This is in contrast to seven leaderboard events in May.
The Player Council Has Been Formed
We have established a regular meeting cadence with the Player Council that represents a variety of voices within the community. We have found the initial meetings very insightful and are committed to continued collaboration with the council.
This is a pivotal moment, and we are eager to hear your feedback on these updates. The team is committed to putting on the best Marvel experience possible. We look forward to announcing more long-term changes in the coming weeks. We appreciate the ongoing dedication and enthusiasm all of you have for Marvel Strike Force.
Thanks, Commanders!
