I find it unlikely that any one bracket has 5 ppl who dont sleep, so the requirements are "just" grinding 2.5 hours during the day, which is pretty par for the course. I joined the PvE with 14 hours left on the sub, to avoid the Hard Core grinders. The Top 5 I am in is the same since yesterday, which proves the guys there are not sleeping either. Many guys tell the same thing.

Top 50 counting this seasons reward: you would just buy the rest of the covers so i dont get the complaining: top 50 seems pretty doable even without grinding every refresh. I'm not complaining about this PvE in particuliar, but with the situation which started with the anniversary. And this is what I explained in my OP.

It's good to know if allowed since I'll do the same when my time comes. On topic: Sorry to see you go. I don't fully agree with your reasoning but ultimately it comes down to how you feel so there's no reason to try and convince you. I will say that I'm among the long time players who actually like all the new characters. It keeps things fresh and exciting for me. It also creates a problem with focused cover rewards and roster slots that I believe need to be addressed. The game isn't perfect and never has been but I'm still in favour of frequent new characters. As for being 'forced' to play endlessly to compete. That's a pressure you place solely on yourself. You aren't required to go all out on every event. Thor will find her way into the 1300 prog rewards in due time. You'll be able to get her covers relatively easy then and without having to play insane hours. Some of us can obtain those points in less than 4 hours of play. You'll be without the new character for maybe 2 months longer than other people who aren't going to pay for her covers. In the long run this isn't a big deal. The game doesn't require that you have it's shiny new things asap. That's a pressure you've put on yourself. Scale things back, get some sleep again, you'll have your new characters *** and **** eventually.

Now I play, at most, 1 or 2 hours a day. I play PVPs, so I typically have 1 day between PVPs that I don't play the game at all, which feels soooo good.

This Lady Thor PvE made me realize that you can't compete if you want a life. Now you MUST NOT sleep. How far are they going to go ??? Since the Anniversary, the pace has been terrible and as time passes, the more this game is requiring, making it the experience close to slavery. Two weeks ago, I started reading Marvel Comics and I enjoy that much more than playing a game that takes me for a fool and cash machine. I voiced my opinion out throughout the forum, so people know why I quit. I am sick of the hypocrisy. The latest Q&A discussion was a joke. "Why are there so many characters released ? == Because the devs enjoy them". I feel insulted when I read this, considering the time and money is needed to max characters. Now we know David truly is integrated to D3P. So, I'm going to hand my account over. For those who know, that's the biggest roster in game, and it's a once of a lifetime opportunity for a Hard Core Player. Here is the list : All characters maxed (from 1* to 4*) and some maxed duplicates : 2 additional Hoods (for a total of 3) 1 additional maxed of : Psylocke Human Torch Sentry Cmag Deadpool Falcon OBW Fully covered (all covers) additional of : Venom Juggernaut Storm 1* Storm 2* Ares Daken 3* Fury And some more characters that are close to be fully covered : Colossus Captain Marvel Invisible Woman Devil Dino A total of 80 slots. Until this roster finds a good home, I will keep on playing so that the new characters are maxed as usual. You can pm for details, and considering the amount of money I have spent, I will ask for a compensation. Thank you for your interest. One last word : Shame on you D3 to abuse your customers this way just because they are addicted. I've never seen anything like it, and hope I will never see it.EDIT : For those who would want the roster, and would like more duplicates maxed, the sales could help, so please contact me before the end of the sales.

The most loyal customers are continuously slapped in the face. This is a first in my life.

I cleared them all without any boosts and only died a handful of times. That event is designed as a non-grindy challenge - the perfect end game event that doesn't mess with your sleep style. The rewards suck for people who can actually do it but maybe that'll change in the future

In all seriousness top 50 isn't hard at all, if you really want top 10 or top 5 in competitive pve you've always had to play optimally. Just in this case there are 10 times the number of people doing it. Why don't you treat this like every other character you've done before? Get 1 of each cover, buy the rest and buy iso to max? And sleep at night
