Was the forum this insanely upset or is this the biggest blow up ever seen on the forums? Trying to gauge how seriously they might take it this time.

Ps: Oh and it is also great that in day 715 they are going to give me a SW purple. Just what I needed ... I'm feeling for you. My 10-pack gave me 9 2s. Then the tenth was gold and I got that surge of excitement -- blue She Hulk.

Was the forum this insanely upset or is this the biggest blow up ever seen on the forums? Trying to gauge how seriously they might take it this time. The negative feedback from this event is probably comparable to the Great Kerfuffle over true healing. The difference for me between the two is that the healing changes were the right thing for the game, although the messaging could have been better. Selling "True Healing" as an exciting new feature was a bit like the IRS trying to get you hyped up for tax day. It's a necessary thing, but don't try to get people excited about it.

Tip: for a 4*, the circle around the SHIELD eagle pulsates white.. just so you don't get disappointed again next time

Outside of a 10 pack of guaranteed 4* draws at the end of each loss, I'm not sure much can be said or done differently. Player based is much along an expectation and anything short gets rage monkeys.

The other 17 aren't aware of your 'design process.' They aren't aware that they're 'supposed to lose.' They don't get this info via the game. There's no pop up screen with Iron Man going, "He's the most powerful opponent we've ever faced, every hit counts!" All they know is they're dying. And nothing in the game, or in past experiences with the game, have prompted them to accept this as 'what should be happening.' It runs counter to the expectations that the player has, because the game has trained them to expect that they will win. Not every time. Maybe not even the majority of the time, but 7 out of 8 battles ending in total team wipe? If this is a game mechanic, it was horribly handled from beginning to end. If this explanation is a face saving softshoe, which I think is more likely, it's insulting. I don't expect to be fed constant wins. But I expect my time and effort and careful consideration to strategy to be rewarded. This does not, it makes me feel stupid for wasting my time and money.

I and others have said this before, but seriously. Yes, the forum guys are a small, vocal minority. We get that. But just because we're the minority, that doesn't mean that others don't share our view! Minority or not, we probably play the game more than almost any other group of players do, and if we, the people that play your game the MOST, have an overwhelmingly negative reaction to something, don't you think maybe the people that play a little less are having the same experience??

I suicide-bombed my characters, not playing PvP or much DDQ because I wanted to do something for the top people in my alliance for once. I wanted to get them a 4* cover or two, even though a 4* cover is next to useless for me. Instead the top 5 of my alliance got punished for not being in a Top 150 alliance and as a bonus, they got mostly 2*s from their tokens.
