YOU HAVE PROVEN YOUR WORTH TO SUMMON ME!

In all seriousness though, I have brought up the topic of not just max rank 125, but also SCL9 as well. While I don't have any communicable information right now, the team will be evaluating and investigating to see how these concerns can be addressed.

Immediate answer: Fewer clears for PvE progression.

This. Please take us back to 4 clears.

Just lower the progression points threshold in PvE to where progression can be achieved with 3 clears (as it once was), instead of friggin 5.  All I ever wanted.  The expectation of the amount of time people have to spend on this game is stupidly out of whack.

Aside from that, shut down pvp and apologize for ever including such a waste of space in the game, maybe?  That would be good.  Or do something to make the prologue relevant.

Get rid of pve & ddq, only have PvP events. Have lightning rounds run 24/7 add 4* PvP and different pvp events with 3* & 4* characters only. Every other game mode is a waste of space!

I vomited in my mouth a little when I read this.

Just wanna chime in. I am a day 860 player (SCL 102). I am playing about 2,5 hours a day (1,5hrs PVE, 15 min DDQ, 45 min PVP) to cover my required ISO income of about 30k a day. Have 30 4*s champed, 20 max covered and 5 at around half their covers. I spend about 30$ a month.

Part 1: The ISO / gratification game

I have a token hoard of 3334 CP and 124 LT that I dare not to pull because I would need an absurd amount of ISO to not let covers to go waste now that all 4*s are back in the mix. I am hoarding the tokens for maybe the whole year, and it's really annoying the game punishes what should actually be the gratification of gaming. That makes me feel the hamsterwheel a lot; I am grinding away and all I get is an inreasing number of tokens that I dare not to pull. 

Then I come into temptation to sell 2* farm chars for ISO input, only to get the impact that I need to put the ISO back into them and drain my ISO pool for the 4*s. Plus, now I am getting a lot of max champed 3* dupes that I should probably cover up again, but the game has a ridiculously low sell price of max champed 3*s (they should give you a million and not 100k).

The constant input of new 4*s every two weeks means that I can barely collect enough ISO within those two weeks to champ one existing 4*, so with maximum play you are not even able to work on your "backlog".

Part 2: The time commitment

Requiring us to play 5/6 clears for progression rewards is a huge time commitment. With my 4* roster in CL8 it takes me about double the time to clear than it took before (1,5 hours vs. 45 minutes before). I have played CL8 the first time now since the change, and it is just brutal. The rewards compared to CL7 are not incentive enough for that amount of time. To get placement rewards, you want me to grind a total of 3 hours constantly for a wrap between subs - with a mobile game? Please think about what you require from those players. It's a game after all, and it shouldn't chip away 3 hours of your life. Many players like me are addicted, so you should feel a responsibility to those players.

Also - animation and attack tile spam make the game feel totally laggy. Modern games shouldn't be so slow.

Part 3: Missing creativity

You want us players to play the same kind of node again. For a typical sub, for placement, you would play 7*9=63 matches. For one day. Getting an awful amount of "claim" popups, loading screeens, roster selection. And the actual game part is: Repetition just the same.

You have a total of 138 characters. In PVE, we fight against 7 (SEVEN!) of them. For about 2 years. Damn! Make something out of the other characters, other than the sim event. :-D

There could be so much more to the game on the level of playing ideas:

• Create wave teams against a tough enemy
• Make "tag team" battles so that you can use a team of 2*3 characters
• Specific boss events with strategies required
• Node types with a set goal like "make X damage in one turn" or "create a match-5 with a friendly special tile" or "fire 3 powers in one turn"
• Create sim teams that other players need to fight against with set win conditions
• Sandbox play where you pick your own enemies with configurable power levels

Also, work on the UI:

• Allow for creating template teams for those teams that I use in PVE often. It's cumbersome to select them for different node types (easy/hard, goon/non-goon, pvp)
• Re-playing a node quicker

I would love to no longer think about how and at what point I can quit the game, but to have fun playing it. The alliance part of the game and combined boss event is my main enjoyment currently.

These type of auto win characters make this ga,e not worht playing

What's a ga,e and why is it not worth playing?  How do you even play a ga,e.

Being a pedantic jerk is still being a jerk.

I wasn't trying to be a jerk.  it was meant in jest, I'm sorry if you took offense.

Eliminate schedule from PVE! End of story, hapy as a puppy in a loving family
