    The new update added "last played" info for alliance members. This will be very useful for commanders.

    So, new title screen! Reed looks a bit awkward bopping away in the corner while Surfer is doing his thing...

    Can we have the whole F4 family for the next one?

    Awesome!

    .... but it's visible to everyone. Potentially embarrassing.

    But still better than not having it at all.
    it only displayes "Played today"

    That's because they played today. icon_mrgreen.gif

    Legendary tokens aren't even here yet and you've already formed that opinion?

    From the sounds of it, I won't get any of them. 1.3k is out of reach for me. I rarely can afford the time to grind PvE that hard. Most of my 4*s don't have the covers for the new DDQ. That leaves 2 per season and about 2 every year or so from DDQ, so 26 a year?

    Which, with 15 4*'s in the game, means I will be able to fully cover them in a few decades. Assuming they don't add more 4*'s.
    well if you play so liitle, you don't NEED 4*s

    As with many people, I play in large part to progress.
    I have almost all of the 3*'s fully covered. I can occasionally get 1k for a 4*, if the right characters are boosted.
    But when my progress stops, I am going to stop playing.

    Great idea showing who played today or how many days ago they played except it doesn't show whether commanders played or not, could use a little work

    Not gonna lie. Little disappointed to see that standard tokens no longer appear to have any shot at all to pull a 4*.

    While i appreciate the devs giving us Commanders the ability to see the last time a player has played, having a player status of "Played Today" doesn't exactly help us Commanders at all.

    Its a step in the right direction but needs more. A majority of players come on just to play DDQ and that's it. I would prefer it show when they played and the duration of play that day such as "Played today, 5 hrs."

    You can just look at the event leaderboards to see if they have any points.

    Wait, what??? That bites. Just went into the game and found this.

    Where do you think most of my (overall shockingly low numbers of) 4* covers have come from? (excluding daily rewards). And I'm not entirely joking...

    Maybe they put the rate of 3*'s up a little to compensate? (shrugs)

    The "played today" text is blocking the "approve" button on pending alliance members. Our commanders cant approve people, anyone experiencing this?

    I pulled a 3* from a token this morning, so I dunno. Guess it's possible. 20/39 of my 3* are already 13 covers, though, so bad timing on that for me.

    It really might be time to shake up gameplay.

    The hugest issue I'm seeing is players are hugely fed up with 4 star transitions (newer players with 3 star) because there is nothing to do besides earn those covers. Even when you do, the fights don't get more interesting.

    Whether I'm fighting with Hulkbuster maxed out, or classic storm maxed out, I'm still fighting against moonstone scaled to their level.

    I'm still not challenged on any further surface,
    I still don't have a choice but to play through events I've seen repeated thrice as a players who's been around for about 3 months or build up to 300 in pvp.
    I still don't have a choice but to collect a season 10 pack where I'll fight for 20 days to get maybe 2/10 cards that are useful to me, If I'm lucky.
    I still can't see any sort of light at the end of the tunnel besides, collecting more covers, to eventually get further and... collect more covers.


    maybe bringing in crazy tiles, special crazy tv-show or movie themed nodes

    Letting devs make a weekly node that features some experimental puzzle and rewards based on unboosted characters levels

    Maybe creating another system for leveling so I'm not left with 20 iso and a pat on the shoulder for taking down a node of characters that makes me need 3 health packs

    Maybe a way for me to regularly find use in undercovered characters so a lack of health packs doesn't mean play something else, but hey try this mode out

    Maybe more challenge based nodes where all players use the same teams.
    Maybe even so far as creating a new system of powering up characters (All the creative uses of iso I've seen in games this is the only one where its the same for everyone)
    Maybe a way to make my Hulkbuster different from that one, maybe mine has more damage resistance and his deals more damage at the cost of more ap.


    There are so many creative ways to go with this game and it seems like it's time to grind the axe and go for it.

    Good luck with that. All evidence time and time again shows how highly risk-averse an organisation we are dealing with here.

    It's far easier to just not think about it and to play the game for what it is.

    If this is true, I am going to be VERY pissed off. I have almost 700 and have been waiting for then to finally announce that they are done with releasing more 3*s or 4*s or at least the pull rate odds for 4*s from Standards or taking 1*s out of Standards or SOME kind of boost. And then I was going to open every one of them, specifically for 4*s.

    It's like they specifically want to take as many dumps on me as possible.

    - 3* release is "stopped".
    - Veterans like me have all 3* complete
    =>
    Standard token now useless

    requesting devs to make 100 Standard token = 10 Heroic Token = 1 Legendary token based converter

    There are not enough phrases to accurately describe the neverness of this occurring.

    Fundamental issue is that standard tokens and all other tokens are utilizing different currencies. They will never cross that up. Ever. After a certain point, all they are good for then is ISO. So be it.

    Awesome ideas like this that are favorable to the player are not in the best interests of the house. The casino must maintain its edge.

    OK, so there is absolutely nothing I need in standard tokens now.
    Devs, could I get a button so I could sell my standard tokens unopened? I'll happily settle for 100 ISO a piece.
