    I just look at the boosted characters for the upcoming week. I was badly surprised to notice that dino had been phased out of the 4* rotation. Why so? why dino keep being out of the packs? Why is he never essential or boosted? sometimes, i wonder if dino is really there.. or just a ghost? icon_lol.gif (the isos i put in him are real, thats for sure)..

    Dino not getting his time in the sun is sad. But it would be wildly unfair to anyone who started after the anniversary.

    In short - BRING DINO BACK!!!

    Maybe the original plan was to only have him during anniversary? Maybe you'll get three more if you play two whole years as well.

    Of course, that plan would have been before the plan of releasing 4*'s at least once a month, and some of them being about on par (not very good) with DD.

    I like the DD/Cap invading Planet Hulk upcoming plan, maybe we'll see something with that.

    Aside from Anniversary packs/events, and the 1-year daily rewards, he's never been generally available. He wasn't phased out so much as never put in.

    Man that really stinks. I had wanted to use a boosted dino with KK and Squirrel even if only for the off season. Oh well - at least I get to see those tiny arms flailing about in the Deadpool event.

    With Starlord dropping his AP requirement to 1 for his purple attack. Ugh.

    Balance of Power event?

    4*s are not buffed during Balance of Power, everyone is level 270 in that event.

    Devil Dino is to 4*s as Bagman is to 2*s, kinda. He's an inside joke, and D3 promised to never ever buff him because of it. Just think how you would feel if Bagman was on the 2* buff list. It's kinda like that.

    It's also kinda like a rarity issue, since you can't pull him from packs.

    Not a novelty when appearing scaled in PVE. Never buffed me ****!

    Soooooo...if you want Dino now all you have to do is play for a year, then spend 25K HP on the 10 add'l covers, and a pile of ISO to level (note, size of pile recently reduced 15%)... and buy a roster slot ....

    Due to breaks from the game, I finally get Dino next week. Sounds like a sell, unless there are any signs he'll be more available in the future?

    I'm hoping he becomes available again for the 2 year anniversary as I'm about halfway to getting him from daily rewards...I don't wanna buy all his covers but something tells me in the end I will because seeing 1/1/1 will drive me crazy icon_mad.gif

    Chances are pretty good he'll be available one way or another during the 2-year anniversary in October. Prior to that, probably not. If it's like last year, he'll show up about 10% of the time in Anniversary tokens.

    Yea, because you've never fought Bagman in Simulator or Gauntlet before. icon_rolleyes.gif

    Anniversary tokens had a super high draw rate for Devil Dino. And every event during the Anniversary Week handed out Anniversary Tokens. And were on sale for 50 imcoin.png daily for a week. It wasn't impossible to pull a 13 cover dino during the events. They will probably do something similar again this year.

    Of course, if you don't want to roster Dino and his 17k health, you can always sell.

    50HP tokens are always sweet. So glad they don't have them more often. I'd blow fifty cents every day!

    As i did during Ultron, and with great success!

    I want DD, and if he is not available during anniversary, i would actually hoard HP to level him a bit.. those wavy arms and such a low AP skill, could use him as a backup in a team with kamala just to have her heal every other turn

    Funny how I wouldn't hesitate to spend HP on Dino covers but won't spend it on characters I actually need icon_lol.gif

    Do you realize the amount of hate and rage there would be if Dino was boosted?

    He's a joke novelty character. His covers are not available to players and cannot be won. If you missed the anniversary week the only way to get him would be to play for a year then buy all covers.

    People already get VERY upset over 2*'s being required for a single pve node around here. Boosting Dino would take the 'cash grab roster slot greed' conversation to a whole new level.

    Thanks for the reassurances, Grimm and Lerysh, but really, there are other 4*s to work on and new ones in the pipe. For players getting him between anniversarys, parking him in a precious slot at 1-1-1 in hopes that maybe he'll be a thing again next anniversary is thin hope. And I would expect new things this anniversary. I suspect Dino will be the "first anniversary medal"...you were there, man.

    I can definitely see not getting him, but if you change your mind later, and he's handed out like last time, you may not miss those three covers that much. I pulled or won four greens, two reds, and like eleven purples for him during anniversary week last year, so if that happens again and you decide you want him, you'll be more-or-less set; if it doesn't, then you're not missing anything anyway.
