    Cool.

    Sounds like command points can be used to directly purchase 5* covers, but not 4*. Have to decide between cashing in for a pull on the slot machine or hoarding for the direct buy. Easy decision for me with only 1 covered 4*, but for a lot of people that's going to be a tough decision. Especially if the cost of that single 5* cover is as high as they make it sound.

    LIKE OML RIGHT, RIGHT?!

    Kudos to the devs for acknowledging that there needs to be something other than LTs to get us to 5* land! Also, major kudos for giving out so many points to start, especially rewarding people who have supported this game with purchases!

    So she is greenflag.pngpurpleflag.pngredflag.png
    SS is blackflag.pngblueflag.pngredflag.png
    And OML is yellowflag.pngredflag.pngblackflag.png

    You could technically have a rainbow 5* team now.

    Yet still no Elixir.

    Jean Grey (Phoenix) is a Green/Purple/Red character

    That's a new color combination

    It looks like it takes 720 command points to level up a 5-star. And you can buy leg tokens for 25. So you could buy 28.8 leg tokens at the same price and at 10% drop rate you would get 2.88 5-stars from those. So noone is going to use the level up feature unless it's the last cover they need.

    If percentages worked like that, then honestly no one would ever lose a gamble.

    So now we know why they moved the Health Pack readout, eh?

    I kind of called her having an ability that lets her die and come back to life with a new skill, although I didn't get it entirely correct.

    Command points still need a very thorough explanation. Including a list of all the ways in which you can earn them, and if you'll be able to directly buy 4* covers too.

    Jean looks interesting and appropriately powerful, and I have to say that her art is some of the best we've seen in the game yet, really good job on that.

    I think the new currency will be a great addition.
    But dissapointed to see another month go by with 0 emphasis on expanding the gameplay variety outside of more characters.

    So she puts down a red countdown tile, and you basically have 1 turn to disarm the bomb (since its doubtful anyone will give up the revive on a 5*).
    Now comes the question...
    If she is the last person alive and dies in this way, does the match end or does the countdown still provide the chance?

    Or if they really, really hate luck.

    Just look at all the people waiting to get 300 Tacos before they open their vaults.

    I hope there's no way to buy Command Points outright. If there is, anyone who's not a whale might as well just quit right now.

    Specific covers are always better than random ones, especially in the vault situation where you don't have to worry about duplicates.

    I have to say...I believe this to be an excellent start to bringing this game back to its former glory.....now just fix it so i can only be hit once in pvp while im fighting and we're talking!! (Phoenix is a much more appropriate choice for 5* than OML...I like it being incredibly powerful chars like SS....just my opinion)

    Also, I wasn't aware I could back up my game through FB. How is this accomplished? Because it sounds like a no-brainer even w/o the incentive...thanks

    Oops....I'm on steam, not my phone, sounds like this isn't for me... icon_cry.gif

    Same as it ever was. Seems like they're piling on now though. icon_e_wink.gif
