Marvel Insider?

This may have already been posted, but why not Marvel Insider stuff this month? Is this just another Kabam fumble for the month, or will this be the new status quo? That was a nice little bonus, and little piece of extra content.

Bummer. I already completed contender and proven EQ on all 3 of my accounts too.

Was another thread asking about this yesterday. As with way too many legit questions the moderators didn't bother to respond

The forum mods have absolutely no role in Marvel Insider deals so they cannot offer any answers or commentary. It's run by Marvel/Disney not Kabam

He's just looking for more reasons to be rude. If he really needed an answer to a question, he would send a ticket to our Support team, who are there specifically to have one on one conversations, not looking for Community managers to answer each individual question in a forum, which is not our job, nor the role of a forum, which is a place for players to come together and talk to each other, not to our Forum teams.

OP: I will ask about this when I have a chance, but I will be honest, it won't be until at least Monday.

If you want to direct me to the relevant website/email address to ask about this, I don't mind doing the legwork. I'll share whatever response they provide.

Edit: Never mind, I think I found it. Inquiry submitted.

Here's what Marvel support had to say. Not very informative.

Hello,

Thanks for contacting Marvel! That is a great question, and we are happy to help.

We do not have any Marvel Contest of Champions events planned this month. Please continue to check back at: https://www.marvel.com/insider/activities then click the Games tab for updates.

Please let us know if you have any further questions that we could help you with.

Regards,
Jasmine

The biggest red flag to me is that the offer to get Marvel Insider points for downloading the game is now gone. That is a persistent offer that has been available constantly for years. Marvel Puzzle Quest offers the same offer for downloading the game, and theirs remains listed on the Marvel Insider site.

The biggest disappointment for me if the game's affiliation with Marvel Insider has ended, is that I won't be able to get some of the rare 2-star versions of characters, which were often included in one of the monthly Contest of Champions offers you could buy with your Marvel Insider points.

I wish Kabam would offer a 2-star character for exploration of the Contender event quest. We currently have a 3-star, 4-star and 5-star characters offered on Contender, Proven and Uncollected. The bottom two of those could be bumped up to higher levels, so that Conqueror also has a character reward offered, and the extra "space" could be used to put a 2-star character reward under Contender.

Well I appreciate that. I probably should have put a ticket in instead. I appreciate your time. I imagine you are busy, especially this month, and with Flannel-Jax on break.

Damn there goes the free monthly 3x energy refills

ISTR there was one month where the 20k for downloading the game vanished before, but it came back the next month. ISTR there was also one month where there were no offers before, but they came back. I could be misremembering mind.

What happened here? Seems like it became really contentious. I am just looking for info on the Marvel Insider stuff.

Let's hope it only disappeared this month and will be back from August

Yeah I did not intend on making anything controversial lol. Just noticed they were gone, and was sad.

Hopefully just a temporary absence

Miike said out loud that something is not his job which was true and players couldnt handle the fact that he does not do everything at Kabam and got mad

Didn't get mad. Actually all I said was moderators don't respond to questions, which alot do go unanswered, like this topic when it got brought up the day before.. Then he got mad

Based on Support comments on here someone's having a bad day it seems. Lmao

Everyone is saying that it's completely gone without waiting to year back from @Kabam Miike . Some time between August 8 and August 12, I claimed this new set of points on the Games page. Insider hasn't completely abandoned the game.

I think however the fact that the cycle of the games accelerated in July and August. Typically, the games were released at the beginning of the month and lasted a full four weeks. The Strike Fear goals had a deadline of July 12, 2023. But there was another one that started around that time (can't remember the name) and that didn't have a goal at Insider. Normally that would have lasted through until around a week ago, or today. But it was cut short by two weeks and then the Vanishing Point even started on August 6. That meant that the "cycle" was out of whack with the typical monthly rewards that Insider granted.

I hoped that Marvel Insider would start up again with Vanishing Point, but no such luck - and that will end 16 days from now on September 5, which still puts it out of the typical alignment for Insider's reward dates (which would be normally be around September 15).

The title of this post would seem to indicate it is completely done, however the post itself I think only specifically mentions stopping making bundles so I guess it is possible they could still offer points for the EQ completions but I wouldn't count on that.

Sundance_2099

They've ended the reward bundles, but that in no way precludes Marvel from running articles about the game for users to get points.
