Not enough stars for characters

Unknown

With 4-star characters released what looks like each month (and 3-star each week), and them already getting to 10, I would like to know: when 5-star characters would be added? Because definetly this games isn't P2W enough.

Of all the mobile competitive games, this might be the least pay-to-win in existence.

Plenty of people have maxed X-Force/Thor without paying a dime. The bigger problem was probably that they released too FEW 4* characters early on, making it a lot easier to max a couple of them.

A new character is released every two weeks and of those about 1/4 is a 4*. I hope they get it slower after some point but if you think about how many of those are really worth even ISO is not a big issue.

I haven't heard it put that way, but I think you are right.

Do plenty of people really have a maxed 4*Thor without paying a dime?

I don't think that's true. I'd be surprised if anyone does, but at the most it can't be more than 5-10 people.

I have maxed X-Force, Fury and Thor (still have to finish levelling her, but almost there) and I haven't bought HP in about a year and didn't purchase any of their covers with HP.

He's not maxed, but my Xforce is 5-3-3, I've sold possibly 3 or 4 green covers. I haven't spent a brass penny on the game.

I have both, never paid a dime. I'm not the only one in my alliance, which is F2P Veterans.

But the thing is that it's also a PC game, and with the way they made it it's either mobile or PC (new characters are more important then linking of accounts). And comparing it to PC games, it's P2W a lot.
Anyway, the question is when 5-star would be added, as I expect them to.

If not for node requirement.

FYI, the release pattern has been 3*, 3*, 4*, 3*, 3*, 4*, 3*, 3*, 4*. I don't think D3 has officially announced this pattern. (If they did, I must of missed it, so just ignore me .) But I would guess this is how it will continue to be done. Two 3* releases followed by a 4* followed by 2 more 3*, and so on. Personally, I hope the next 4* is Jean Grey, (Phoenix ). But I've always favored the 90's X-Men.

If a 5* is added and you can only obtain them by paying, then the game is P2W. If it's available for free through playtime, then it's not.

There's not a single piece of content unavailable to F2P players. No special weapons. No exclusive characters. No custom cardbacks.

If people have any complaint about the pay structure in this game, it's that it's too HARD to advance by paying. There's people who WANT elite rosters through paying, and they can't get them. Paying for straight out covers gets you maybe 1 max character for like $100. That doesn't help you win. Paying for the iso costs $200. People don't do that. Buying coverpacks is probably negative gain, because it causes you to want to quit faster than you progress. Paying for shields has been nerfed, as you can't spend them infinitely anymore.

They've made competing in this game the least P2W you could possibly make it while still being able to buy in-game currency.

They can't even handle proper 4* distribution, they needed a year to realize X-Force should be usable, now you got 4Hor nerfed, Fury a step behind and all the others are trophies, I dont see a 5* coming soon, and what they will do? an Heroic with only rewards for top 1, 5, and 10 and no alliance rewards? LOL
