Come on guys, didn't you see that very few people used them the last time you did this? Also, why didn't we get a warning?

    When did we ever get a warning for things like this? We got lucky and now get character re balance notification. One step at a time.

    i really dont like how they keep changing the prices, one moment its double, then its back to normal, then triple, then over 9000...

    seriously, just pick one **** price and stick with it.

    It goes with the tourney type. It will pro infamy keep on switching out.

    Spiderman as a prize serves as a bait for them to check if a good character is enough for players to accept the new shield prices. I for one won't be using them. The upcoming nerf to Spiderman and the fact I lost 300HP in the last event from accidental purchases has left me without much to spare.Additionally, the Wolverine tournament ends 7am so I would need 200HP which I am never going to pay since in that time I may drop to the range I want to avoid anyway, so shields are useless to me.

    A 50/150/400 would be more reasonable, but I stopped expecting reasonable things from the game. I will try to go to 500 (I am 370 now) for the HP if I see it's not too hard and then just let go. I started rebuilding Thor (not sure I will ever use him though) so even top 75 is fine. Either way, I don't expect to hang around for long.

    Blue-purple spidey is a good bait indeed...

    I'm taking the bait, though I don't know how I'll fare, realistically, what with having basically no team that fits this tournament. Probably a waste of HP, but I've used few or no shields in the recent ones, so I don't mind. Will shield as high as I can lurch and see what it gets me.

    I'd be happy paying 100/150/200, personally. I'm sure everyone has their own idea of reasonable, but 50 is, if anything, too low for what the three-hour shield does. Problem is, I'm not at all ok with paying 400 to skip out for an entire day in stealth mode. Perhaps 3hr @50's justifiable on the basis you'll probably use more than one, I don't know. Unfortunately, if your idea of reasonable is much lower than Demiurge's stat-crunching tells them is working, you're about to be priced out of top 5 placements for the time being. Trying to snipe good placement late is still an option, obviously (I flipping accidentally won yet another Patch in Army of One round 2 just by grabbing the 50HP progression), but now the only people you'll be hitting are the others trying the same thing, I think you'd find trying to win something worthwhile off the now relatively sedate Lightning Rounds less stressful.

    More proof they just want anyone not happy to quit.
