Re: New advanced resupply
I think it's about time y'all introduce Support tokens into progression and placement rewards in pve.
But not at the expense of cp, hp and full covers please. Just in case y'all still don't get it.

Re: New advanced resupply
This bundle reinforces the ridiculousness of the idea to nerf the tokens (in terms of what ranks you would pull).
That ONLY made a little sense (not really, but the bean counters thought so, I guess) when we would be getting "lots" of tokens via Support Circuit and the vault. Then those went away (9 months ago) and Supports continue to feel like an afterthought.
Tokens are now rarer than before, really, and if the main way we see better tokens is via a purchase bundle they need to rework the tokens in a big way. There should be SOME way to pull or win an Advanced token besides T25 in a season. And what ever happened to Master tokens?
Some people in my ally bought this bundle - thanks for the CP - but IMO they don't deserve Support money until they rework them again. This is a horrible value.

Re: **** New Character (???) ****
I tried googling to see about any healers that can fly and protect people, and the three names that kept popping up were either Archangel, of which we have 2, doctor strange, of which we have 2, and Wiccan, who already has a 4* (in the same colours too). I think all of those are unlikely
Another name that did come up however, is Mr Negative, who can heal, and his powers can be used for healing and good, but then instantly flip and be used destructively (protects into strikes). He is a villain though, and I’m pretty sure he can’t fly anyway, but I would love it if he made it into the game at some point.
EDIT: it could be someone like Beast? The powers seem like improved versions of the 3* version, and in the same colours too. He’s acrobatic, which is as airborne as black cat is, is the team doctor, and has a violent side too. That’s my guess
EDIT 2: (Hank) McCoys is also a brand of crisp/chips too (and definitely has a cheese and onion flavour).

Re: MPQ Sneak Peek: December 2019 Edition (Updated 12/13/19)
Rogue is a Shield Training Essential based on her being the reward for Thick as Thieves, so no MODOK or Wolfsbane to worry about this next time.
Good news for this ST, bad news for hoarders who have 2 more weeks to wait before knowing which Latest 4 will be essential for the next ST.
Or just give up on ST like many of your fellow players.....

Re: Retroactive Rewards Update
I’m just going to say this even though it’s going to be unpopular- they’re just my thoughts and I’m more than okay with others disagreeing. I prefaced a lot of my complaints with the fact that I don’t care about the rewards. I mean the resources from champ levels will be nice, but they aren’t moving the needle much for me one way or the other.
The things I was looking for were a sincere apology, insight into why they thought the initial rollout was okay (why people were punished for leveling their characters), and what to expect going forward (especially with regards to future feeders but the game in general as well).
So far I haven’t seen any of that. We threatened their bottom line in a HUGE way (especially when the buy clubs shut down and the ratings dropped) so “paying” us was absolutely the right fiscal decision for them regardless of how they feel. It’ll be interesting if we get anything extra (the mighty tokens, some HP, etc.) beyond what we all thought we were getting originally as a way to say “thank you” or “we’re truly sorry”. For me, I choose to remain extremely cautious with this company until I see behavior changes (not just reward changes). But I’m also putting the pitchfork down as well.

Re: No Spend December starts NOW
Their attitude toward all this, in a nutshell. Yeah, not giving them another dime.
Re: Retroactive Rewards Update
At the very least bring back bonus heroes but reward shards or something if you feel that a complete cover is too generous (pst, it's not). You could even implement a lucky draw mechanic that rewards 1x, 2x or 3x shards.fitfestus said:Keep the shards in place
BUT...
give us back our BONUS heroes!
This will help counter the stupid idea of removing the CP's and Hp's from champ progression rewards
The bonus hero draw was a huge part of my token hoarding strategy!

Re: Retroactive Rewards Update
This is great news. @IceIXIceIX said:As part of the roll out of Shards, Champion rewards for 2-Stars, 3-Stars, and 4-Stars were updated to include Shards. This amounted to updating over a hundred characters across these three tiers. This represents one of the largest changes to the game that we have made. As part of this release, players received Shards and covers depending on the progress their characters had made to that point.
We received feedback from the community that the recent rewards that were received did not hit the mark. We took this to heart and have spent the last couple of days figuring out what can be done and plan on how to execute it.
Well, we have good news! We are planning to initiate a second round of “retroactive rewards” for the daily patch on Monday-Tuesday (as long as it passes QA). These rewards will include any character that had their Champion Rewards updated to add a character or update an existing character. This also includes any secondary Shards that you would have received.
But it leaves one question left unanswered. Now we would like to trust you guys to continue this practice which we felt was set in stone by past precedents and previous announcements. Like https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/comment/749081#Comment_749081
"Any future 4-Star characters that have their Champion Rewards changed to offer 5-Star covers, will also retroactively credit those covers to players that had already achieved those levels."
But it was not actually confirmed this practice will continue and some of us are finding trust not readily returning. The wording of your announcement uses a past tense.
Because of this tense, this current announcement is seen by some of us as just a corrective action due to our feedback, and not an act of benevolence.
So to the unanswered question.
There are currently 4 star characters that are not Feeders.
Many of us would like to champion and level them normally and put this extremely ugly incident behind us.
When we champion a character that later becomes a feeder, leveling it up will be found to be punitive toward those very important 5 star shards, if this 20% of shards earned instead of 100% of shards policy is in place.
So we ask.
Which policy will be put in place? The 100% of shards earned get credited or the 20% of shards earned get credited?
If it is 100% we can enjoy those characters to their fullest.
If it is 20%, it makes more sense for us to just collect those 4 star characters covers and champion the characters only after they become feeders.
Thank you for the answer to this question in advance.
Re: Exquisite Archangel
I'd say the mana inequity is the single greatest reason MTGPQ frustrates people who come from paper. MtG is a gradual game in which both players have roughly the same distribution and accumulation of mana. Yes, there's ramp, and yes, Vintage is the thing that breaks all things, but in MTGPQ, mana cost is often meaningless because Greg dropped a 23-cost Gaea's Revenge on turn 1 while you respond with a match-3 loyalty, and a 15-cost Killer Instinct on turn 2, while you respond with a 2-mana offcolor match.
Those examples are deliberately at the extreme of outcomes, but it isn't uncommon, and we've all had those games where Greg outgains you 70 mana to 7 on a single turn.
That's MTGPQ's curse. It can never match the same experience as paper because its foundation is built on RNG and luck. The game is inherently unfair. The challenge is that people never complain about the games where THEY get a huge cascade that empties out their hand and wins on turn 3. Only when the AI does.
