4* DDQ, a debate

Thanks to the bottleneck unlucky players could easily get stuck there while 3* players easily catch up thanks to the accelerated progress. 4* DDQs is a solution to this "bottleneck". With 3* rosters it wouldn't help with a bottleneck, but allow a fast progression.
In short, the better your 4* roster the worse legendary tokens are for you. So D3 created a reverse situation where the better your 4* roster, the more 4* tokens you can gain hopefully evening it out.
I would love to see a DDQ node that offered a specific 4* cover, like the 3*. If that were offered to help transitioner and elite alike, the current 4* node could remain for the elite and people would be more open to it. As it stands, the early transition is rough. It's better than it was, but could absolutely be improved.
I think you and I are probably never going to completely agree on this, though.0 -

I think you are seriously underestimating just how dominant the 166-270 crowd is in PVP these days. If you're a 3* transitioner, T100 is a reach, and T25 all but impossible. Even if you've got the boosted 166 teams, you're still just a big fat juicy target to the 270s.
And to reiterate something I said earlier, "guaranteed progress every PVP" - but it's still very slow progress. Any one of the 40 3* characters will only appear in PVP on average, what, every 1.5 - 2 months if that? Do the math. That's still a long, long time to 13 covers. Then you need the ISO to max them.0 -

My only big complaint with 4* DDQ is that it's only for one day. It really should be open for the entire 5-days DDQ cycle.
This, please. I see no ingame backdraw on it, and would grant us playing quality.0 -
IMO, DPD 4* is not for 3->4 transitioners; probably most of the fuss on this comes from the fact that we were told that it would.
DPD4* is there to reinforce 4* rosters, the same way the daily covers reforces 3* rosters: for daily, you need required char plus two more chars to fight along, for weekly you have a requirement too.0 -

If not, I used to just wait and join PvP events in the last couple hours. Every once in a while I would get a relatively fresh bracket and grind out a T100 finish with 600 points or so.
Also, focus on hitting that 800 progression early rather than trying to finish there.0
