I'm thrilled on the idea of 40 players vs Beasts! 
Would the automatic queue also replace those of a 40-players group who log out of the game while battling a Beast? Or would the group simply find itself with less players after each departure so that noone has the lucky (and perhaps undeserved) chance to join a group when a Beast is already on the verge of death and earn the same spoils? After all if Beasts do not have timer the only downside would be that killing them would take twice as much if 20 players log out right away.
Alternatively a good compromise could be that the spoils are given out in proportion to how many HP each player took out, like for example:
player A = 20% HP taken out = 20% total spoils
player B = 16% HP taken out = 16% total spoils
....
player batman symbol = 2% HP taken out = 2% total spoils
This way players who leave the Beast beforehand could be replaced right away by others via queue and it would still be well balanced in terms of rewards.
As for the trivia, I'm not too fond of those (especially if they're centered on US-only known facts, like what is depicted on the flag of Louisiana etc), but they could be a nice variation to the usual mob killing and so why not?
Would the monthly trivia events occur at a set time? If so, I hope they will be spread out to best suit different time zones so that some people don't have to stay up at 3.00 a.m. to answer maths questions, haha!
