    Let me see 3 new 3* characters in about 3 weeks. 1* storm, MBW I have to say I have enjoyed having you along for the ride. Unfortunaltly your time is up. If they ever fix roster slots I will be happy to add you back to my team and as a token of my appriciation I will look to send you out as TU one last time before you are deleted from my roster. As far as ISO is concerned, lets just say that will be something you will probably be without if you ever come back to my roster.

    2* characters on my roster, watch out. IF things keep progressing this way you might be in for a world of hurt.
  • please throw us a cookie and give out a free roster spot, its super hard to keep up

    Thick as Thieves is fine. Not great, but fine. It's got subs, those subs have decent rewards. The new characters sound like they'll be fun to play, too.

    Another back-to-back new character release, though? Come on, give us something remotely resembling a break.

    Add me to the chorus of people excited about new characters but concerned about the increasing cost of Rosters slots. Cap it at something reasonable, please. Bullseye, Moonstone, and Bag-man beg you (next on the chopping block).

    Actually, it's only two characters (Rocket and Groot are one character,) and how many weeks it is depends on how long this new PVE is. I suspect it will be a 5 or 6 day. They're running the new PVE twice in a row, Gamora will be awarded the second time. So it will be two characters in about three weeks, which is normal (every other week.)

    Yeah, the last run actually didn't make me want to kill myself, unlike the first 2 runs which made me quit.
  • If they kept the 'no repeatable main node' structure from last time then TaT is just like any standard sub based event.

    I need the repeatable nodes to grind. It's the only way for me to keep up and even compete when I have a limited roster size and limited covered characters and free to play. I like the grind, it's what I do well.

    I can never place in a PVP where characters are top rewards. I can't progress past 400, if I can even get to 400, and I just won't place for a character with that kind of a score.

    I was counting Msytique, or if you did not win her 4* thor. It was also a way for me to say goodbye to 2 of my last 1* covers. I will be keeping Juggs for Balance of power and combined arms. Headbutting people is just too much fun.

    Mine are already 1000 HP now.

    And I thought 700 per slot for me was getting hard to handle....if anything, 1000 should be the cap. Honestly 700, but let's say 1000 cause so many people are probably there already.....or you know what they could do....make all the roster spots available for nothing like they did with alliances. Hey, they wanted a diverse roster correct??? So what if I have 18 X-Forces....hahahaha

    Why why why must we be faced with expanding our rosters every week??? Please lower the cost of roster slots at least

    Ok I have 19 cover maxed 3* and 6 level maxed 3* and 10 3* close to max. That is 17 3-4* who are not playable on my roster unless really buffed in PVE. I don't mind winning the covers as my lowest covered character is Blade with 6 covers, but how about some ISO love from D3. to soft cap all my 3 and 4* I would need 1.6 million ISO.
    D3 this is all I ask:

  • So the results of this poll are being completely ignored I see.

    While I voted for no new characters, I am down for the GotG character influx. Hopefully Starlord follows soon after and Drax. I'd like to see them fill in the Fantastic Four also. These half full teams just bug me for some reason. Also please don't butcher these GotG characters. No more characters like Beast or Doc Ock.

    New PvE will be nice. Strange that the featured character of the PvE is being released BEFORE the new PvE instead of as part of the new PvE. Would it really be so bad to tag out the Essential nodes with team up nodes for the first run? I'm still waiting on the Punisher PvE promised at the end of Hulk. With the retirement of the Dark Reign story (with no real ending thus far) I am not holding my breath on making that happen. If the concentrated as much energy on new content as they are currently putting into new characters I have to think there would be less repetitive **** and more cool new game modes to play.

    Don't mind the new characters, but I would like to see an explanation from D3P as to how in hell they think newer players (and transitioners, I suppose) are meant to find the HP for all these roster slots?

    Seriously. If they advertise this as a F2P game, I would really like to see their maths on this issue. Because it's **** absurd how fast new characters are coming out.

    (To say nothing of the iso issue.)
  • I'm liking this announcement and looking forward to new characters...

    as for how we are going to pay for the slots...

    demiurges thinking: "we just gave out a whole heap of HP for the alliances screwup, so now players have extra HP that they can use on slots" icon_razz.gif
  • Have to admit, I'm liking the recent character releases. Due to MPQ, I've even got back into reading some of my old comics! I'm hoping a couple will ultimately prove PVP worthy. I take it that Gamora is the tough female character they hinted at recently that I had hoped might be my long time dreamboat: Rogue. But, no worries, I'm patient. (With MPQ introducing me to new characters in the Marvel universe, it makes we curious to check out some of the newer comics -- wonder if MPQ could capitalize on that somehow; I'd be interested). With a large character base and the slow but steady re-balancing going on, I'm optimistic the diversity we'll be seeing in our team combos will increase -- a very good thing.

    I'm also happy with the Thick as Thieves choice for PVE. One of the better storylines -- I think it's the PVE that if the community does well drops a free Hood cover(?). Looking forward to it.
  • Not excited for the new chars cause I know I am not going to win them. I mean with 4or being the top PVE price and the new chars T150... Well, I choose to sleep. However, I do welcome any new material into the game. Very excited for the new game mode you have mentioned.

    One thing I cannot stress enough, is the fact that old covers are becoming more and more unreachable. If PVE is the way you want to introduce new chars in the future, can you at least keep 1 PVE rotating the old characters and 1 PVE just for adding the new ones?

    I really enjoyed the last PVE and ended T50 getting my Falcon to 8 covers. Now next PVE will again introduce a new char and the one after that will have this new char essential. I feel like new chars are getting in the way of my transition.

    Boo, new characters hurt players.

    FFS, they do not. They add a badly needed depth to the game that prevents MPQ from stagnating. They add material for new events. Repeating the same tiny kitty mantra doesn't make it true or realistic.
