Economically speaking, this is to keep people playing longer in an effort to extend the life of the game. Mobile apps have a notoriously short lifespan with the rare exception (e.g. Clash of Clans), and getting the "1%ers" to continue to spend money on a game without anyone else playing it is untenable in the long run. The biggest complaint players have about this game is the difficulty of the to transition. If enough of those players "stuck" in this phase quit, the game dies because enough people stop playing it makes it no fun for the high spenders. they will move to another game.

Yep, I was really beginning to wonder if the Devs even cared about this game. The to broken aspect of the game was pretty horrendous. Good to see them finally addressing the elephant in the room.

To those afraid of the end rewards being hard to obtain:
1) Enemy levels are pre-set, that suggests that it has nothing to do with your roster
2) People are overestimating how quick this will let them get full covered 3*s.

There are 33 characters you can get (up to this day). If we theorize, that they will go through all characters and all covers once before any is repeated, that means 99 days. So worst case, you will get 3 covers for the same character every ~100 days.

This will help the gathering of covers, but not by the magnitude some people think it will.

What I would also be interested in:
1) Are there any possible HP rewards?
2) Around how much ISO we can expect to get if daily quest is fully completed (if there is an exact number, even better)

It would be absolutely awesome, if you would be able to actually choose the cover color you win, but that is something for future consideration.

you will never be able to pick the colors it would kill PVE and PVP all together. I mean whats the point of making people fight for the TOP 5 for a PVP just to give you the same cover on the daily. if there are 33 people right now like you said and they give out YELLOW all the time say. That is a year then can give out 3 yellows. A year to give out a new color a year to give out another color meaning it would be 3 years and people would still only have a Half maxxed Cover (and that is not even counting the HP needed to level them) So maybe in about 7.5 years we will have all maxxed out 3 covers by then though they will have 5 and 6 stars, meaing a level 3 today will be like level 1 in 7 years


I hope it starts when this pve ends hopefully sooner i just want to see what its like WOOO

Love the idea of this, looking forward to finally leveling my 3* in a more time efficient manner.

I wonder if this is a PURE Daily thing or will have time slices. If you think its only a one time start cycle you should see something pop up tonight if its going to start on tuesday, or late tuesday. I can see major problems if its just a one cycle thing (if they start say at 6pm est for everyone and some dont start to 6am the next day they will say its unfair they only got 12 hours to do it)

going to be intersting to see how it works

Your math needs a little work. Currently 33 different 3 stars. Currently 365 days in a year. Daily PvE will offer 11 covers of each 3star character in 1 year.

Now it could take about 16 months to offer 5 colors of each color, so if you play daily, you should have your ideal build in that time frame. Of course they will have doubled the number of 3 stars in 16 months, but this is a huge step forward on progression.

The event is going to cycle globally at the same time, the current plan is to have this happen at 6AM EST (subject to change) But it really doesn't matter because it's not a competition. There's no leaderboards, no placement rewards, no alliance rewards, no replay times and no points draining. It's just for you to play, by yourself, at your own pace. If you complete the whole event each day, it almost doesn't matter when the refresh time is.

thanks for that info. They Usually put up a new event around 3 to 6 hours before they start so i would not count on seeing anything until Midnight est tonight for a tuesday start or Mid tues night for a weds start. I think im just hyping myself up thinking its going to be something bigger then it is Watch it be so hard you have little chance making it to that 3 star.

I would rather had something like a Daily PVE that gave you an reward and then say after a week you got the 3 star, how it sounds you must earn that 3 star same day. i mean they are just not going to hand them out easy

also dont see how they say it dont matter when the time start is, if someone starts at 6am and someone starts at 9pm that is a very big differnce

From everything I have read, this won't start until R71 hits, so that will be the first indicator. If that doesn't hit until Wednesday or Thursday then this won't start until then either.

As for the 6AM EST reset. Each day is on a 24 hour window from 6am to the following 6am. If I play at 6am, I can earn my 3 star. If you play at 9pm, you can earn your 3star. There is no competition between us and each 3star cover will be available during that 24 hour window. Obviously the earlier you play it, the more leeway you have if something goes wrong, or it is really hard, but as long as you win before the next 6am hits that's what counts.

To put it another way, think of these as 24 hour PvE subevents and the 3 star node is a non-repeatable node. You can only get that red check one time but you have the entire 24 window to get it done. Doesn't matter whether you do it minute 1 or in hour 23.

not if you need like 3 refresh to have enough health packs to earn that 3 star. That is what i mean. Someone who starts at 6am would get 5 new packs around 9 noon 3 6 9 midnight 3 (7 repacks) someone who starts say at 9pm would only get midnight and 3 (2 repack) they could complain and say its not fair. Hopefully it just starts soon , cant wait AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH



also you EARN the 3 star every day or do you just earn a Token and then when you get enough tokens you can cash them in for a 2 star or 3 star. I mean 3 star each day I hope people understand that is going to be VERY VERY hard to do. I mean if it was very easy why wouldnt it kill the PVP and Really kill the PVE. I mean you have to grind for 2 to 4 days just to get the 3 star reward at the end of the PVE, yet you can go into the daily PVE play it for say hour or two and get a 3 star cover? THat would kill the pve, i mean why even Grind for 3 to 4 days for 1 cover when i can get 4 covers doing 4 daily events

Um, just no. Everyone gets 24 hours. If you sleep for 8, you get the other 16 hours.

thats what im saying people will start to complain saying its unfair some get 24 hours while they get xxxx.... Still going to be interesting to see how it works. Hopefully will get to see by end of week

No, everyone gets 24 hours to play the nodes. It doesn't matter when people sleep as there's no advantage to playing at specific times, aside from earlier players having more chances to retry them if they're having trouble. You can choose not to sleep and thereby have more time to retry the nodes (time enough for multiple 3-hour full health pack restores), but that's the only potential advantage.

ZeiramMR

Everything else sounds well-designed, but I just want to clarify one thing. If all the nodes are one-and-done, failing during the Survival node (that rewards the daily 3-star) will not lock you out from the cover, correct?

Losing one and done nodes in the past has always meant you can retry them - think about the unlock nodes in the current PVE.

Phaserhawk

If this is as good as advertised, this would be the 2nd greatest update to the game. The first will always be respeccing. Yes that's right kids, before if you created a character 3/5/5 because that's how the covers fell, you were stuck 3/5/5 even if you had the covers to go 5/3/5.

My understanding is a new 3star every day. I am sure it will be challenging, but winnable if you are already into the transition process. How far into the transition, I don't know, but safe to say a level 60 Storm-neto is not likely to earn a 3star.

People will still play PvE and PvP as they will still need Iso and HP, not to mention it will take over 3 months to make a cycle of every available cover. If a cover you need is a prize in PvE or PvP, you will still go after it. Not to mention, you need to earn the first cover for a character somewhere else.

Right, but Survival nodes in Enemy of the State gave partial progression bonuses too. I'm fairly sure this will be fine, but if it is a case we haven't seen before, I wanted to bring it up as a "just in case".
