CrookedKnight wrote: Phantron, I think you've got it backwards - the essential character is the same character awarded for finishing the quest. So you need to have gotten at least one of the character's covers from PvP, PvE or a token pull in order to beef that character up through this mode. Presumably you can get new characters from taco tokens, but this won't lead to people getting an avalanche of new additions to their rosters.

Question - Will it be like the prologue missions where you get a chance at one of the three cover colors or will it be a guaranteed cover of a certain color each day when the character comes up in the rotation? I think most of our preferences would be for the latter so that we don't always have to play if we have the cover being awarded AND we don't get tinykitty'd by a color we don't need that randomly drops in the non-repeatable node. The latter. Of course, that also means that Hood could come up one day and you get tinykittied by it being Yellow that day when your Hood is 5/2/3. But that's the exception rather than the rule for the majority of players.

The latter! If the mission says you're getting a Hood Yellow, you're getting a Hood Yellow. We've got all the 3*s on a rotation so the cover you need will definitely come up eventually. Just don't miss it!

Seems like a great addition to the game overall. Like Phantron mentions - this will be a way to justify "needing" to own all the 3*'s, buying roster spots for all of them.

That doesn't seem to help transitoners very much, though the way I have it wouldn't really be all that helpful either because a transitioner sure isn't going to have the HP to put every 3* in the game on his roster which is what will happen under my incorrect assumptions.

Sooner or later everybody reaches the point in their transition where they have a ton of 3* characters but they're all 1/1/3 or some such underwhelming figure, and the only way to get more is through token luck or PvE grinding. At that point in your transition you need every cover you can get, which makes such players the prime audience for this sort of thing.
