    Or heck, the new event mentioned!

    Like, " Sounds like a fun new event in the works"

    Is that just referring to Black-suit Spidey being released as an event by itself, or is there a new PVEish or PVPish thing coming?

    Don´t get me wrong I like´new´chars coming to the game, but latest 3 new chars were spidey chars.
    At least give us Goblin, Rhino or Lizard to name a few.

    I love that we finally have Black Suit Spiderman but we've been complaining about the near uselessness of 3* Spidey for almost 2-years. You released a much better 1* Spidey with an offensive move and a better web tile mechanism than 3*. Then 4* Spidey was recently released which again is everything we would want in a Spiderman.. can we finally get a better 3* Spiderman?!

    Let's face it, Spiderman does not heal in the comics and he shouldn't be healing in MPQ. His Spider Sense should always make a tile when a purple is matched, not just when we match it or drop the protect tile altogether. It is sad when Spidey isn't even in the T10 of Support-Only characters. We understand there would be no "revenue" by doing this but in return you would have a much more happier gaming community. Do Spidey some justice! icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Btw, this officially makes Spiderman the only characters to have an appearance in each * tier.. more than Wolverine!

    I can't imagine the current Legendary token will stay at 25 CP when it contains 4s and 5s, but a new 5* only token will only cost 20.

    Something smells funny around here... Why is there no info coming out about this?

    Because we are stunned at the release of yet another Spidey... and 5* to boot... so they have gone Invisible while we are stunned.

    LTs won't have 4 5☆s

    We didn’t want the addition of Peter Parker to water down the odds for the rest of the crew though, so we’re going to be introducing a new type of Legendary comic pack that will only include the newest 5-star characters

    They said "new legendary type of comic pack". As in, a new 4* or better token that can only reward Spider-Man as it's 5* character. (and other new characters when they are released.)

    When they said "out of the blue and into the black", I was kind of hoping for Black Bolt, who used to live in the Blue Area on the moon. And he makes much more sense as a 5* than any version of Spider-Man.

    It mentioned a new token pack for 5* Spiderman, but I kinda hope they use this to split apart the 4* group as well...

    Like, have icon_carnage.pngicon_cyclops.pngicon_deadpool.pngicon_elektra.pngicon_ghostrider.png in the Classic Legendary pack and icon_falcon.pngicon_hulkcho.pngicon_jeangrey.pngicon_iceman.pngicon_thor.png in the normal Legendary pack, like, set aside older heroes from "Newer" ones, and make it easier to get ones you're targeting or whatnot.

    So umm....what happens when the newest characters aren't so new any more?

    Most important question - what happens to currently earned, stockpiled leg tokens?

    Basically what they are saying is,

    "All the whales already have their fully leveled 5*'s in SS, OML, and PHX, so in order to avoid them pulling duplicates we are introducing a new Legendary token so they can take advantage of having a higher % for Spiderman and the next two future 5*'s. This will be ongoing and we plan to have 10 different type of Legendary tokens by the end of 2016. We want to give the players the option of what 5* that want a chance to pull."
