A new 4* this soon is a terrible idea

Unknown

So the preview for Thick as Thieves is up, and I'm mad. I got done with a punishing PVE this morning and you're already running another 4*? That only gives out prizes to top 50 again?

This isn't fun. This doesn't lead to excitement. It leads to people trying to game the system. You're going to have half the forums waiting for the last 24 hours and cramming into the same bracket.

I used to look forward to new PVEs. Now I"m starting to dread them.

This is very, very player-unfriendly.

ISO-8 introducing K-amala Khan right into Thick as Thieves introducing K-ingpin.

T50 as rewards - D3, aren't you listening to your playerbase?
IMMEDIATE back-to-back characters - D3, aren't you listening to your playerbase?

Please, please tell me this is an April Fools Day joke, in bad taste.

If Kamala Khan is the "featured character" to get a 4*, I can't wait to see the money-grab meme. This may be one of the worst money grabs I've seen in the game.

I think the forgot the massive negative feedback of back to back new character releases. If they aren't changing the cost/distribution of 4*s they should restrain themselves and only release one once every 3 seasons. Release one, give out all covers via season, repeat. Personally I'd like to see 1 new 3* char per season, one every 2 weeks is too much. Can do new char, old char, last seasons new char, old char rotation.

Agree, this is terrible: I came in to also rail against this idea as soon as I saw it (mods, please merge the two). Players have said they don't want to see characters so quickly, nor do they want to see T50 4* releases. What do we get? both combined. SMH.

Pretty stunning, actually. I thought they might listen to us this time.

Silly me.

I have no interest in another 4 start I will never cover, I've got several of those already. Playing till Kamala progression

Really really hoping this is a bad April fools joke

Well done in Iso 8 Brotherhood! I fully agree with you posted. I would like a chance to actually cover max some of my new chars, and play some of the new chars before I go back to full time grinding for the next new char. This is starting to get a bit tedious.

Don't forget, its Thick As Thieves as well. The boosted roster isn't stellar either.

Don't worry, we have a "make-a-meme" thread to distract us from the buttholery that this is. Yay!

I thought I was hallucinating when I checked the awards for TaT. Nope.

Same ****, different day. What the **** are they thinking, seriously.

By the way, if the reason for this was something like lining it up with the new DD Series, you needed to delay Kamalla Khan to avoid the back-to-back releases, or release her in place of Xavier. That's not a valid excuse.

Hey look, daredevil is the consolation prize again. You could make 50-100 get a professor x or kamala cover and it wouldn't feel like a **** punch

I am excited at the prospect of fighting kingpin + hood + muscle. If you listen carefully you can hear the sound of a thousand tablets breaking.

Their social media stuff has been horribly timed.

"Show us a video you uploaded....of your newly nerfed characters!"
"Show us a meme you made....about how we introduce new characters to quickly and to very few people!"

So when you promised only one new release every 2 weeks (which is still too much), was that just b.s.?

They subscribe to the notion that there's no such thing as bad publicity

As a player that is just now starting to fill up covers on 3*s, I really don't care about a new 4* at all. If I get it, its just a unused roster slot where I know I won't get new covers for it for ages. Will go along with my single cover Electra, 2 cover X-Force and 4Thor, etc. There is no way I would take place in the grind that this will be.

Instead, this is an excuse to take it easy, play for a progression and hope for a 4* DD as that will max him out for me. Far more useful, and a lot less work.

So how long until they start rotating 4* characters?
