I enjoy the event (not bothering much with this one though as the rewards aren't needed and I need a break after their crazy recent scheduling) but can't see how it would work long-term.

D3 are making too much money with the current state and don't believe changing to this format will earn them more. Otherwise they would have done it. But we can all* agree that this event is pretty neat. * most. It's a message board, we never all agree on anything.

A wide variety of roster, strategic choices, team select before every match, a genuine puzzle and a deeper level of thought all round. No 1 stars or 4 stars, just characters, play options and all round better. What do you think?

It's really just taking 1* and 4* characters and flipping their relative worth. Juggs becomes a near runaway winner for "must have character," OBW comes close to surpassing Hood for must have support, and the 3rd is a little more variable but favors lower characters. I actually change characters in regular PvP considerably more than this event. It's not like this event makes Yelena, Beast, 2Cap, IW or (choose your own cannon fodder here) usable. There's always an optimal build.

It is something that you can jump into and play all the time like before Seasons started. It puts everyone up to ridiculous powers/health/etc and you can really choose ANYONE. This is a place for 2* characters to shine and be FUN as well as some 1*s. and they can really hold their own against the 3 and 4*s. Flat out, ITS JUST FUN. I would at lease like to see this show up more often... but thats me. Cstorm/Mhawkeye/MNmags is a BLAST!

How does the matchmaking work when everyone is maxed? Too_many_pants lokivsleah eld_the_preth These are the only people my nodes keeps rotating through.
homeinvasion wrote: I Largely agree, but do you not think that thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of players are put off with having to two star transition, then three star transition and now 4 star transition? How is a new player meant to get a team of Xforce/ Thor4/ Fury within 2 years? The game has progressed so far that new players are completely excluded. And while I agree the vets, the peeps that made the game what it is should have some advantage, don't you agree that the advantage should be with character selection range? The process at the moment is prohibitively exclusive to new players. Would you seriously as a new player realize you need to transition to 4 star land, in what 3 years, before you can be part of the meta? It's a dumb design. Have one meta that peeps can meekly inhabit with 3 characters, or dominate with 100 choices.
