    This just sounds pointless.. you have players who aren't even ready for 4*'s yet opening 5*s and stating their scaling is worse. I was hoping the new 20 CP token would be 4*'s only or even a vault.

    So basically the 25 CP Legendary will contain only new 5*'s, with each 5* release moving the older 5* to Classic in order to keep them at 10%. How about just rotating out some 4*'s to keep the 5* odds high?

    So basically we're one 5* release away from having OML only be available in tokens only acquirable via CP.

    So basically anyone who didn't get OML up to speed in time, via RNG or otherwise, is going to see progress towards that grind to a halt.

    Awesome.

    Why not balance 5☆s with 2 in each pack variety with a 5% draw rate

    Latest Legends packs contain the last three released 5-Star Heroes and all 4-Star Heroes (except Devil Dino). Currently, the Latest Legends pack contains Spider-Man (Back in Black), Jean Grey (Phoenix) and Wolverine (Old Man Logan).

    I want to champion the Dino! icon_e_smile.gif

    Now there's the longest of the long term goals. I don't think I'll live long enough to manage it.

    All Legendary tokens that are obtained in the game will be redeemable as Latest Legends packs.

    Why couldn't you let us choose between the two instead? It would give those behind a better chance to catch up due to the lower cost.

    Do all hoarded tokens turn into "latest" tokens tomorrow?

    sounds like all earned past and present legendary tokens will be "latest". and classic will only be bought with 20CP

    Don't forget SS. We are one more 5* away from having no chance to finish him.

    Splitting the legendary characters into 2 different legendary tokens, while only being able to earn the latest will be awful. Right now, it doesn't really matter, but in another month when the 7th legendary character is released, there will be lots of upset people.

    If instead of always giving the latest token, they rotated the classic and latest tokens on each event, it would be a great change.

    why would people be mad.. who said they are going to remove SS maybe they will just lower the 4 star odds and push more 5 stars in the pack... ALSO has it been confim we are getting a 5 star every month?

    there has to be a way to BUY CP i mean they just cant change this much of the game and remain it to keep everyone around

    also what would be nice if

    25 CP the odds was 5% to draw a 5 star
    20 CP the odds was at least 10% to draw a 5 star.
    15 CP where its 4 star only

    Here's to the hope of a 4* only token...

    Let's say you have 3 OML covers or 6 SS. The only way to finish covering them will be to buy the "classic" token or outright buy the covers. There will be no way to win the covers by playing the game.

    I would rather have an option to finish off a character I've started with the tokens I've won, rather than get a new character.

    10% chance for a 5 star, 3 five stars, 13 covers per character, thus 39 covers is 390 latest legendary tokens every 3 months on average.
    If you earn less than 390 latest legendary tokens per 3 months you are on average behind and cant catch up anymore.

    Little disappointed that the 4*-only token from the video appears to not be happening but at least if I'm still risking 5* pulls it's costing less.

    Which would probably be fine, IF 5* characters were released as they were originally advertised - unable to be directly purchased. It would make them incredibly rare, especially 13/13, fully covered versions. But, instead, we got a system that costs more than most new cars, but so long as you can afford that, you can have the new toys. Didn't pony up multiple thousands of dollars? Too bad, so sad, you'll pretty much never have a 13/13 silver surfer or Logan. I and many others have said this many times before, and I stand by it: making a class of character that completely outperforms a team of 3 characters from the tier below singlehandedly, then making them purchasable was a huge tinykitty mistake. My half decent roster of 5 championed 4*s, 35 championed 3*s and a handful of covered but not yet leveled 4*s means precisely kitty-all to anyone with even a 7 cover Old Man Logan. Translation: my two years worth of time invested in this game is worthless, and I'm this close to throwing in the towel. I can't catch up, and I never will...it really sucks.

    Well, except that you earn 20 Command Points by, um, playing the game. PvE, daily rewards, and championing rewards. technically placement rewards too, but those aren't available to most people.

    It'd be nice to have more ways to earn more of them, but I can't imagine they'll do much with that until they see the effects championing has on the economy.

    Championing is a HUGE source of CP
