    The cover cost is the problem? Are you kidding? How about stop adding new characters until scaling is fixed. The cost is nothing, I can build up the few hundred I need in the time I have, I'm just tired of losing characters I should've won because of scaling.

    I believe this thread would be a better solution to your problems.

    How? I said I don't have a problem with the cover cost.

    I wish they would add more, all at once. All 1* characters. All unpopular villains, so people wouldn't feel obligated to collect them.

    You could win Bulldozer, Piledriver, Thunderball, and Wrecker! (The Wrecking crew)

    You could win Sabretooth, Sandman, Kraven the Hunter, Lady Deathstrike, Scorpion, Absorbing Man, Jigsaw, Taskmaster, Onslaught, Shocker, Mephisto, Pyro, Blackheart, Chameleon, Dark Phoenix, Carrion, Stryfe, Mr. Sinister, Morgan le Fay, and Tiger-Shark!

    The main benefit would be seeing more variety in opponents. No-one would collect all of these guys.

    I don't follow the comics as much, but I'd collect Pyro like you don't know who. I got extremely excited when first playing MPQ and noticing some 'Pyro' in my enemies in Prologue. Got disappointed icon_e_biggrin.gif
    And my favourite character in TF2 is also called the Pyro, which is not a coincidence...

    Anyway wouldn't that skew the chances of getting the actually needed characters from tokens? Most people only know and like the Avengers anyway. And Zoidberg. I mean Spidey.

    I'm definitely wondering how they will address the covers that are difficult to acquire, with the rosters growing. I understand they have to make money, but, I still have an IM40 with no blue and a Hulk with no red. Buying packs is a waste because I believe some covers are intentially restricted.

    So how is it going to be possible to acquire missing covers?

    Easiest way is getting them through tournament rewards.
    Otherwise it's just chance really. Ultimately it helps prolong the length needed to get to the "Endgame", and gives people something to aim for to keep them playing - and possibly spending.

    If a lot more 1* characters were made available, then you could definitely collect them. And it wouldn't be too hard -- since they would be common, you could get one most of the time you got a 1* token. They could have a special where you could get 10 1* characters, guaranteed (which is pretty much how things go now anyways). With a set of choices like this, I might get rid of my 1* black widow and Hawkeye, and pick up Sabretooth and Lady Deathstryke instead. I've already given up on Yelena. The next time a 1* tournament rolled around, it would have much more variety. However, I wouldn't feel much of an obligation to get the new 1* characters, because none of them would be particularly competitive, even when maxed out.

    They need more 1* characters, and a week-long event for any of them would not be fun. One day events might be okay. 7 new 1* characters in 7 days would be fun. And seeing them the next week in the 1* tokens would be fun.

    Another problem is that is harder than ever for an 'average' player to get any of the new heroes.

    Since less than 10% of players even get a single 3* cover reward from most events now as standard (45/500), I have almost no hope of getting the new characters as I simply don't have the roster or time to be able to compete for them. I got Punisher to 5/2/3, got stuck with Hulk on 5/0/1 and haven't been able to win any Daredevil or Psylocke covers yet, and when you don't have the newest covers the game becomes even harder as you're excluded from key parts of events.

    Everything is more and more geared to draining more money from users through cover packs in order to get more profits for the publishers, which is what always happens with FTP games and why the model sucks.

    I feel you on that. It would be nice if you could get guaranteed covers for a fee. I would spend $2.50 or so to at least fill in my Red Hulk, Blue IM40 so they are at least viable in team comps. Or purchase a cover to be able to participate in an event. I remember earlier there was an event that required IW, and it felt really **** to be excluded for it. And there was no way for me to earn her.
  • We need some useful 2* and 1*.

    Quite honestly, DC's writing is way better at this point. Marvel's output has been lacking in recent years.
