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?

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.

Yeah, even though I doubt I'll actually use him that much, I don't regret taking him to 85 for those 2 tournaments at all

Me neither. I thought it was ISO well spent to get him to 85. Had a hand in netting another six 4* covers.

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.

I know you weren't specifically calling Daredevil useless but I think he looks really interesting and I'm always grateful for some new blood.

As to the notion that we're getting spoiled and will cry bloody murder if we have to go a while with no new characters I don't see that happening if we already have a large amount of unique characters (ability-wise) available to us. Regardless of what we really think of funbalancing it also makes adding variety worthwhile.

Keep 'em coming.

I thought about it some, and maybe they need to expand the story/campaign when they release these characters. Just something short so it seems like they at least tried to do something, other than plant them for new tournies.

That's...that's...what they do. This episode is about a crime syndicate...which lends itself directly to introducing Daredevil...

OP must be fun to be around anytime a new Pokémon game comes out.

Perhaps an idea would be to add more persistent content tied to new characters? Since these types of events are referred to as Chapters, it would seem kind of odd to go back and add more to the Prologue, but what's done is done. In any case, here's a few ideas around this concept:

After the "Chapter 3" event ends and Daredevil out in the wild, they could add a new "Act" to the Prologue called something like "New York Stories", which uses Spider-man, Punisher and Daredevil as featured/required heroes. You could have 3 different starting tiles, one for each hero, that follows that hero cleaning up their part of town, and then once you've beaten each of those lines, you unlock the "finale" line of missions, which require you to use only those three heroes. The idea here is that new players aren't going to be able to dive right in and do these, they are something to come back to as you unlock the heroes. Maybe listing it in the Prologue tab isn't a great idea, since it could confuse some people, so maybe a new tab has to be added.

With one or two more mutants, they could probably do a pretty good X-Men v Brotherhood story too.

The addition of a Brotherhood NPC makes me think that might be coming.

That...that actually sounds incredibly fun. Curse you for throwing out good ideas I won't see in practice

Her black sucks..well, is great but overpriced. She is actually a pretty tough 2 star if you level her. Decent hp and the red and purple can pack a wallop. She isn't Thorverine, but she is farrrrrr from bagman

Yeah I can't be the only one that has been caught out by a high level Photon Blast.

I can't believe someone is complaining about new characters though. More!

Yeah, especially as a buffed villain in PVE, every once in a while I get in that situation where I have to make sure Rags comes out of stun before her.

My only complaint would be that I am a completionist/collector. It irks me to no end if I don't finish leveling someone I like, and then someone I like BETTER pops their face in, and I'm torn with too much to do, too little iso with which to do it. Case in point, I have an xforce heavily invested in, but the collector in me still bought a spot for patch and wants to level him.

I'm the same way. So I've been trying really hard to remember back to a few weeks ago when I felt I didn't have much use for iso. I would certainly feel different if I had a ****Wolvie like you but I'm glad for the new 3 stars. And I'm not sure I've ever been more excited for a new character as I am for Daredevil (just because of the abilities, I've never liked/disliked him in the comics).

I love her photon photon blast, but i dont care for her other powers. I love new characters! Since mpq, it has inspired me to start drawing marvel characters. I'm just getting so much lag in the game the last few days. It's like everything takes 4sec longer to do.

I really like the concept behind her purple and her black should honestly be the most entertaining power in the game but I hardly ever get to use it and even then it isn't in a situation that will lead to fun anyway.

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.

Of course it is for money, as were many changes recently (see unattainable HP rewards, shield cost buff, etc.), but it is only natural for a game developer to want to make money. If I had to choose how they do it, then more heroes would be at the top of the list. In some of my posts lately I mentioned that the relatively small number of unique characters (no duplicates like Wolverine and BW) is one of the weaknesses of the game, so for me a new character is the best news I heard in weeks. Not to mention Daredevil's abilities are quite unique compared to other heroes, which covers another weakness of the game. Even if I don't have even 1 cover of 3* Magneto, Ragnarok and IW, I have one thing to say. More please!!
