When do you think the 4* DDQ will restart?

LegendReborn

So, the 4* DDQ is getting very close to reaching the latest releases, although they seem to be trying their hardest to stop that (I'm looking at you double spidey-verse release). However, at some point they will have to restart the cycle.

So, if you had to bet, when do you think the 4* DDQ will restart?

After they're through with every last one of the 4*s.

I have no idea why they do that since everyone after Rhulk will be very, very badly covered by 99% of the playerbase, but that's how they roll.

Devs need to adress this ASAP, which is going to be the last 4 in DDQ before the reset?

It is not that we can do anything about it a part from complain if devs decide it is going to be Venom, but this is way too much, 99% of the people has just a couple or three covers of GR and he is featured in DDQ ?!?!?!?!? And it will be worse from now on (even though personally I have more chulk covers than GR).


PS: Devs need to communicate more with us the players, there are a lot of lingering questions in the air right now

I can see the argument for sticking with new 4*s through Ghost Rider and Amadeus because they have had a progression-based cover outside the normal structure of release PVE and the 3 PVP tournaments a week. It's not a particularly compelling argument, though.

LegendReborn

Personally, I think Ghost Rider should be the last before they restart the cycle. We're already scraping the bottom of the barrel where it's almost to the point where only people who have whaled the new 4* have a shot at the token. However, I doubt that will be the last 4* ddq before the restart.

With the current pace of releases, we need a "never" option.

In the first two rotations I put out this problem and made a guess when it would re-start, sometime 2016 way back then and I won't be disappointed.

The problem is they are introducing two new characters every month, but only have four events every month. So you are only catching up at a slow pace.

It is time for DDQ 4* to be a daily thing!

It honestly wouldn't surprise me for them to revamp DDQ on a whole before ever restarting the 4* cycle. They'll keep expecting people to beat a level 270 opponent with a handful of covers.

My tinfoil hat side wonders if they see a spike in HP spending/buying on these days as people try to cover they're undercovered characters to complete this one node.

PeterGibbons316

I thought they would have restarted by now. But since they haven't I just assume they are going until every 4* released has had their shot.

I don't particularly understand it, I guess they want to give the whales a shot at another LT from their shiny new 270 GRs and Chulks???

Punisher5784

That's why the devs keep releasing 4*s faster, so the 4* DDQ never resets! Mwhahahahahahahaha

LegendReborn

I added another option for never.

Sad, but true.

Well we know when the next DDQs are:

Dec 29, Jan 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28...

We currently have 4 (GR, Cho, Miles, Venom) more to get through, that takes us to Jan 13th. Most likely we'll have one more release in that time (if they go back to the every 2 week pattern after new years). That should release around the same time, but may or may not be in time for the DDQ on the 18th.

So if they're mean and do Miles/Venom before rotating (and you know they will be), I would expect the rotation to flip either Jan 18th or Jan 23rd.

If the answer is 100% honest and unchangable "When we run out of 4*s", would communicating that REALLY be something that'd help?

Like, it'd honestly just get people more pissed off then they would be if they were silent. What part of that communication would help out? All it'd do is try to get people to scream at them how they want them to NOT do that.

Yes. People like to plan for the future, including what they are willing to spend on it. So I'm hoarding ISO to use on potential DDQ4 characters that would otherwise be spent on whaling Iceman. If there was a plan for future events that was made public it would actually encourage spending.

Not the right kind of spending. There's no money gained or lost in your ISO spending. You're hoarding until you know the future, so if I let you know the future now you'll stop hoarding now. In neither situation are you more likely to spend actual money.

But for the instant gratification individual it's a whole different world. They get 1,000 ISO they spend it on improving something. Immediate gain based on what they know right now. If they knew the next 6 events they could spend it more wisely, but that isn't an option.

So when an event they need an edge in appears they don't have the resources within their account to fix it. Now they either throw in some money or miss out. And as instant gratification junkies they hate to miss out...

OnesOwnGrief

I fully expect something to change before it even resets that makes everyone wonder why the did it. You will never get that second time around for easier leg tokens.

Akari

Since DDQ is every 5 days and a new char is ~every 2 weeks, they will eventually catch up and reset. The Gamependium calender currently lists the reset at Jan 13th but does not have Venom. Assuming there's 2 characters in January, the reset will likely be in early February.

LegendReborn

The ddq for the calendar is accurate because it follows a known pattern. We don't know if they want to restart the 4* ddq before they catch up with releases or not so the calendar just lists 4* ddqs in order of character release. Yes, that's largely the order the 4* ddq has followed but until we can check the next char featured in the 4* ddq when the rewards swap over, it's 100% speculation.

My thought exactly. If they go as far as Spider-Man &/or Venom, it's getting a bit ridiculous.

WelcomeDeath

Never. The closer it gets, the faster 4* are released. Coming soon ddq 4* every 7 days and 2 concurrent 4* pve releases per week. No sleep, must mpq.
