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!

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.

Yes please!! The simulator rewards are so worthless.

Yep. Why spend thousands in gold to shield for days/weeks for 1-2 3* (especially SG)? It's not like we are having to battle hoards of Xforce/4Thor/Hoods or anything.

and this will just push the difference between newbies and vets even farer apart. yea i know D3 you want to help people get from 2 star to 3 star but doing this will just kill your game faster for newbies.

dudes naked that is what worries me More eyes will see it Its horriable . Just saying though something makes me worried about how they are now just tossing 3 stars out like candy (4 stars coming and coming major)

also saying yea 1 cover does not do much but take that one cover and the daily and look 6 months out and see what could happen (again still think we are seeing tons of 3 stars being toss cause a massive 4 stars are coming and everyone who will now have Nice 3 star teams will says its unfair we are running into a wall of 4 stars but now you have a bigger wall of 3 stars just crushing the new players.) sort term nothing but long term could be major problems.

I mean they 6 months ago they demanded 1250 per cover and now they are just tossing them out like candy. If has to make you wonder why

Okay, I really don't want to enter your black hole of faulty logic here, but your argument, that smoothing the 3* transition will drive newbies away from the game, is quite frankly absurd.

The only legitimate argument against something like DPD is that it will result in lower revenue for D3, but that's a completely speculative argument anyway so it's not worth discussing beyond theory unless they release detailed financial data (pre-DPD vs. post-DPD).

Games adapt with age or die young.
Even the big MMO's follow this pattern. Upon release it takes ages for most players to reach max level. If they make a second character they can do it faster because they know what they are doing the second time around, but eventually the game makes it easier and easier for people to level so it may only take days to get there. Then release new content for the masses to go experience new stuff all over again. Doesn't mean anything other than the game maturing a little and adjusting stuff to make sure people are still having fun.

A few people might have actually made the transition? Which is probably about the time it should take. Of course this isn't permanent so 6 months is still probably a pipe dream for most.

Damn. If only it had been 2* Thor and we accidentally got 4* Thor instead.

Maybe next time, oh mysterious author. Let's see if you can slip it by the QA team. I bet you can't. No way, it's impossible. Prove me wrong.

Your 1250 HP buys you exactly the 3* cover that you want. This is what justifies the price. For all other methods of earning 3*s, the precise cover you get is either dictated by the devs in the form of progression or placement rewards, or random from token pulls. And with some characters vaulted and unattainable, spending HP is the only way to go if you want one now.
