    This is a nice change and reward. While it won't help with xf/thor at high levels, hope all these covers make getting to there more diverse.

    A thread about getting the devs to tell us the 3* cover at 500 points is an error before it gets everyone's hopes of getting easy 3* covers up has lead to a bunch of ppl getting their hopes of getting easy 3* covers up... the irony

    Well I won the 500 pt Torch last night and it was indeed a 3* cover. So that was pretty cool. It was the last Torch I needed.

    Assuming this isn't a glitch and it begins happening each PVP, that is a huge boost for the 2 to 3 star transition.

    We'll know, at worst, in a few days.

    Now we have to wait for D3 to get into work.

    I really hope they stay with the 3* at 500 points. It makes it a reachable, with challenge, reward for the 2* rosters.

    I'm a little too excited about how good of a change I think this is. I'm waiting for this weeks Q&A, and hope to see some comments from them.

    Why do people always toss around a T100 alliance like it's something you can get? If the game does have 100K active players, the T100 alliance accounts for 2000 players, which is the 2% of the population. This is even more exclusive than the top 20% you'd have to do for T100 placement. This isn't something you can just offer as a generic advice. ...
    Totally agreed.

    Not to mention each time a new shiny 4* comes around all the top alliances have a "who can back stab everyone the worst" competition that is also not really fun to jump into.

    Cue now the inevitable complainers that we keep seeing popping up in each positive change made to MPQ as of late. Maybe if I pre-emptively post their ridiculous drivel they will shut up this time.

    Ahem.

    "We believe this change sucks hugely and shafts us all players with 1* rosters that have trouble getting more than 400 points in a PVP. This is a change obviously geared to all those players with 2* rosters, and so it goes that the rich get richer. Couldn't you just place that reward at 300? This is a slap on the face to us and the latest proof that Demiurge is a soulless, money-grubbing company."

    If intentional....MPQ I'm impressed.

    This was a much needed change to help 2-3 transitionerss and open up PVP to them.

    500 pts is def reachable with OBW/Ares Stormento. Noobs remember to prejoin events, it seems to help preventing early 166 walls. I have 1 166 and don't hit 166 wall until ~570 pts.

    I wish once a day we had a forum ability that let thumbs up be ten thumbs up, I would use it here and come back and do it again tomorrow.

    Hey Guys,

    Wanted to jump in here and confirm a few things:

    Yes - The 3* Human Torch in the progression rewards is a mistake, we obviously have multiple Human Torches and we got them mixed up when authoring this event.

    No - This is not a new pattern of giving away 3*s in PVP

    No - We're not going to change it now that the event has started so...

    Yes - feel free to work towards it and enjoy an extra cover!

    So sad.

    But at least:

    I don't know if I've seen a forum poster's demand - "devs, go ahead and tell us now you made a mistake" - complied to so quickly.

    Interesting that the thread on the whole is like "if this isn't a mistake this is a brilliant idea".

    And then the devs go "no, it's a mistake."

    Yep, no surprise. Sad though - the 2* is really a slap in the face at 500. 2*'s complain they have a hard time getting that far, any full 2*'s that can get that far don't need it, and they come really fast through PVP drops. 500 ISO there would feel better than the 2*; a rotating 3* there would be fantastic.

    I guess this teaches us a lesson: no more lazy characters lest one day we end up with a free lazy 4*!

    Agreed, with all of the 2*s they hand out like candy, the 500 progression is basically useless

    No, it teaches us the opposite lesson - we want a much-easier-to-obtain 4* Thor! icon_e_smile.gif

    oh well, that excitement lasted for about 2 hours.

    back to 400 and out.

    Thanks for the quick response and honest Miles. Whilst I think 500 is too low for a 3*, maybe it may suggest dropping the 3* we can currently earn to something closer to that of a 2* roster - 600-650. That could help those 2* a bit more than the present system of 900 points, which is pretty much impossible unless you have a few 166 already set up (kinda counter-intuitive, you need a strong 3* to earn a 3*!)

    Miles, feel free to steal my idea. When we thought this was a new pattern (all of 2 hours ago), I made the statement to my alliance.

    Wouldn't it be cool if this meant they are going to revise Simulator rewards for next season and put in 4star rewards at 2300 and 2400 and add 3 star rewards at 1600, 1700, 1800, 2000, 2100, 2200. Just a thought on a way to ease the 4 star transition a little, as you need a pretty solid 166 roster to get to 2300 and a pretty deep in the transition roster to get to 1600.

    I figured if they were actually going to reward 3* characters more easily, they would have made an announcement about it.

    Honestly, I hadn't even noticed - I saw the HT cover and assumed it was the 2* version. icon_e_smile.gif
