4* DDQ - Character Order

I am a bit disappointed about the order in which the characters were run - going from oldest to newest (generally) has meant that to date I have won 11 battles of the 15 so far but, thanks to the thread asking how many we have won to date, I realise that I don't stand a chance in any of the remaining battles as I have very few covers for the newer characters. I will probably participate again some time in mid January, which is really annoying.

Couldn't there have been a better mix of old and new so that wasn't a huge gap where most people can't compete? I can't be the only person in this position.

    That would've been a nicer way to present it to us possibly. I think the coming battles are where they'll see if the frustration of futile fights leads to less engagement, or the buying of more covers. I know at least a few red Falcaps were bought yesterday.

    Mixing old and new would have meant even less people would have been able to win the FalCap fight. Going oldest to newest makes it so that more people at least have a shot. (Yes, I realize the irony since they made the last DDQ incredibly difficult.)

    Have they said that it will continue until all 4* characters have been featured? Who is to say that after JG it won't start over at XFW with the newer characters being added in to the end of the second rotation?

    That's exactly what I've been wondering, when is it going to restart the cycle? As is, I think Cyclops & anyone newer are too new to include in this cycle.

    What was the first 4* character to be released after the new 4* DDQ was introduced? That would sound like a good stopping point to me.

    Iceman, I believe. We'd still have Mr Fantastic after Jean Grey, but that's it I think.

    I have a real strong feeling they are going to go through every character regardless of the outcry. First, I've seen many people with fully covered X-23 and cylops already. Not the general but there is a lot. Reasons such as you have X amount of chances plus purchasing specific covers etc. maybe given. Second, I think it going to be a test phase seeing how many players buy the covers they need. Because let's face it for every good thing they do there is always a background catch to it. It is a business after all.

    If there isn't any significant increases in revenue during those times, who knows, maybe they will come up with something that it always resets upto the last X amount of new releases? As much as I would love that to happen, I just don't see them doing that.

    What I would really love is a response. I'm sure they already have it all planned out already. And a simple explanation for something like this goes a long way with the community. But alas, we have yet to be proven wrong on the poor communication between player and reds for some time now that has yet to be proven wrong.

    Saved round: I believe they did mention 2* characters as opponents too,so a less scaled 2* may also be an additional route. Regardless we want to know!! It's not like we are asking for the secret Krabby patty recipe or something!!
