4* transition?

This deserves to be bumped on a regular basis until we get a red answer in this thread. I realized yesterday, when I didn't feel like putting forth the very great effort that would be required to maybe score another TGT cover, that there was really no other way to get those covers.

Last year, at about this time, I almost quit completely because there was nothing to aspire to once you had a decent 3* roster. History appears to be repeating itself.

Thank you for bringing this up. Think about the players like Mischiefmaker who we lost because ther was not progression. I do think he would have gone after Hulkbuster, but with the way the game is going there should be a 4* progression, and a better way to get there. If the release is Ultron style or PVE the issue is once they are released how long should it take to collect 13 covers of that character. Right now it is around 30 weeks and that is way too long

Maybe we'll all be surprised, and there will be a 4* round of DDQ after the 3* rounds conclude in a few weeks. Not that this sort of additional assistance would speed things up greatly, but it would be a start.

Apparently this has changed, it looks like a 4* will be essential in each PVE going forward.

Check out the last 2 PVEs, IMHB for the last one, now IW for this one. They also added a 2* essential.

I don't recall it being officially announced, but yes, two events in a row where a 4* was required. That being the case, the difficulty in getting such characters is a problem.

Yes, this appears to be the new trend. Each PvE seems to have an essential 2*, 3* and 4* character. So no more selling your 2* guys for new characters, you have to keep them around for PvE now. The PvE that features Bagman is going to explode the forums with hate, because almost everyone has probably sold him by now and he's actually pretty rare these days. If you win a Bagman from a lightning round or pvp victory, better keep him around so you don't get locked out of an important PvE.

yep, I've stopped selling all **s that I don't have just in case I need em in a week or so (and I guess i'll reserve one slot for that too, blegh). no more 'sell all' for me.

I'm just glad I realized tokens were **** and invested character slots for each character in game as a young player, between this and characters being obliterated.....

Seriously, why not just mix the 4-stars into the Daily Deadpool? As many 3-stars as there are, if they were to throw a 4-star into each round, I don't think it would overly saturate the 4-star pool at all. You'd get an extra cover once every 5 or 6 weeks for any particular character. I think it would be good for the transition overall. As someone who is firmly in 3-star land, it might even convince me to strive for 1000 pts in PVP (which of course means HP/$$ spend) for a 4-star character I don't have knowing that that character will show up in a DDQ round eventually. As it is now, I couldn't care less if I have Kingpin or Elektra on my roster.

This bump is just to prove that I was being serious.

And now Fury is essential with colossus the meat shield, and mini Wolvie.

Also on a side not IF will be buffed all week in the next PVP and PVE. He is going to chew threw some people with that attack tile.

Don't ever level up 4*'s. The time isn't worth it. In she hulks event I just got hosed with maxed Fury and 4thor by a under leveled OBW and Hood.

The Devs totally effed up the 4*s with over buffing.

That's really not a good team to bring against OBW/Hood, though. Both need blue, which OBW loves. Plus they're also on the slow side with no quick attacks. Even xf with his nerfed green would work better.

Don't use 4*Thor

the devs effed up with more than buffing in this department

Yeah, but the viability of the 4* characters in the current meta is not the issue. It doesn't matter how good they are; it matters how incredibly rare they are. Players with established 3* rosters aren't going to Pokemon their way through this game indefinitely. And even if we are, what's the point? Those 3* rosters will allow us to win other 3* characters, which we can develop indefinitely to take part in a string of fights that are functionally (and in some cases literally) identical to the ones we just took part in...so we can win a few more 3* characters?

If there's no 4* progression, then the end-game moves one step closer to the point at which you first install the game.

They should do a 4 * DDQ node once a month on the 4th of every month

Doom, Ares, IMHB Red, many others can 1 shot a buffed OBW. I reccomend Doom, because then you concentrate on purples and keep her from getting them, other then the pittance Hood would steal, it is cheap, and by the time you have enough to cast it, 4 or 5 trap tiles may be on the board and down she goes.

Bad side... Doom's black against she-hulks blue.. even a loaner can steal one or 2 of your demons.. ugh, this is a rough week.

is it just me or are the 4* missing the match damage to back up their ranking, king pin highest is 81 professor x 82, 4thor 82 , with 3* having 79 in their highest. going from 1*~25 to 2* ~ 50 to 3* ~79, 4* should be around 100-125 in their max color.
