New Character Again?

I understand they have to expand the list, but why so fast? We just got Ares and other than the Rage and Ruin he's not that important especially if you have a high level character already. Not sure if it's for money or not, but they have other ways to make money in the game than to add useless characters. Are they just pressuring you to add roster slots? Sorta confused because if that's the case, roster slots are among the cheapest things in the game. Pretty cheap way to continue playing, compared to dropping 1k on a covers. Sure adding these new characters opens up buying those 1k covers, but it's no priority. Seems a bit confusing.

    I think you underestimate people's desires for new characters...

    Also, it's Episode 3. That's a pretty big deal. Brand new episodes with no new characters would probably be very improbable. (The Patch introduction was a much bigger surprise.)
  • I don't have every cover, by any means, but I do have every character but IW. I really like the wealth of tactical options it gives you when you have so many.

    My biggest gripe is how ISO-constrained I am. I can't level up everyone because they make it so easy to get all those covers but I don't have time to grind out all the ISO.
  • How dare they put new content into the game. How dare they.
  • I disagree... more characters adds more depth to the gameplay. In addition to the new types of moves introduced by Daredevil, new cards open the door to new team composition strategies.

    I agree. I mean adding new covers especially towards tourneys is almost silly. They added the new wolverine too, so using ares only benefited you towards getting that new wolverine. It's sorta getting flooded.
  • Complaining about something that you don't need to buy if you don't want it? Let the rest of us enjoy this game and you can go and play Tetris or something...

    No one is stupid enough to actually think your a different person. Agreeing with yourself in that manner just makes this thread even more absurd.

    Ok. It's reasonable to add new characters but cmon, just to take advantage of them towards the tourneys is a bit redundant. They'll keep running the gammot, till you drop $300 for roster slots, for the priviledge to take part in the tourneys. They need to find some other way of integrating new covers.
  • 1. You forgot to complain that we got Patch (Tuxedo wolvie) also.
    2. Ares is actually a VERY good character in the right team.
    3. LOL complaining they are adding variety to the game.
    4. Back to number3.

    That's a bit better statement. I did mention once before I thought new characters should be released at least 1 month before made to be buffed or required. That's probably just part of the business model though.

    In all honesty, I can't imagine why anyone would need to put real money into this game. This is one of the least-aggressively monetized F2P games I've ever played. On top of that, their cash->in-game currency conversion rate is TERRIBLE. It's like they don't want us to spend money!

    I am really having a hard time trying to figure out what you're complaining about...

    Ok. But just to take part in the tourneys? Why can't we just earn these characters, not make it necessary for the purpose of the tourneys. It's quite silly. There's a lot more depth to this game, than that simple and redundant cycle.

    I have to agree with this. I only chose to spend money to take advantage of a tourney. Other than that I agree there is no need to spend money. Especially for the people who've played long enough to earn the characters overtime. They probably are hoarding 4k gold, so new covers are an easy thing to down. Granted any player can attain that, which is nice. I just don't understand the purpose of the tournies and how they use the new covers.

    I can see it both ways... new characters are always fun - especially with a ability set as unique as Daredevil's. But we're also going to get spoiled on frequent characters. If we ever get a week without a new character introduction, everyone will be screaming that the game is boring and the developers have abandoned us and the anger will abound, blah, blah, blah.

    Everyone discussed Ares, and now there's gonna be daredevil. I added Ares just for the tourney just like everyone else. Seriously that's it?

    Silence is golden but not when asked a question lol.
  • 1) don't add someone just for a tourney if you don't think they will fit into your desired team. Their business model is obviously release character, make him necessary so people will fight over or pay for him. But if you don't like him or think he isn't useful, just IGNORE THAT TOURNAMENT.

    2) the more characters the better. I want variety in both my options and the teams I face. My roster has become increasingly flexible, as will yours in time. You really want to fight Thor all day long?

    3) quit crying

    Ares was buffed for 2 steaight tournaments, i would say thats pretty good. I think im happy with my investment into a 67 ares: hes buffdd enough to be relevant without dumping that ridiculous amount of iso for the last 18 levels.
