Why so many 3* characters?

This may seem like an odd complaint to have, but it feels like there are too many 3* characters, when you take their rarity into account.

Just looking at the raw numbers, slightly less than half of all the characters in the game are rated at "Rare" or "Legendary".

While it's clearly not fair (and, quite honestly I'd be stupid) to think that you shouldn't add new characters to the game, and that there shouldn't be new "Rare" characters added, it seems like a disproportional number of new characters are "Rare".

Perhaps it might be worth it to consider making more new characters 2*. Looking back to the Ares release in the second rendition of The Hunt, adding a new character that was not easy, but not difficult, to get really changed the game for at least a short while. Especially since those who got him could be reasonably expected to level him up to about 50 or so quickly.

Most of the variety in the game, at this point in time, comes from late game content. And there are getting to be too many 3* characters. So much so that it's unreasonable for the developers to be able to reasonably give copies all of them out as tournament prizes without taking a long time to do so.

All I suggest is that 2*, and maybe even 1*, could be given some more love in the new character department.

    I wouldn't mind a few more 2*s, if introduced over time - right now, I don't need any covers, and it would be nice to have some incentive to get some 2*s - but I don't think the game should add any 1*s; they're just too useless and limited once you transition into 2* play.

    Because it forces the new(er) user into holding onto them and encourages them into buying more cover slots. With HP as restrained as it is, it puts them in a situation of shelling out real money for that HP or losing one of their coveted covers.

    The rub is that those single (or even multiple) covers do nothing in the short-term in helping their progression in the game. They just languish there until they get lucky enough to accrue 5 or 6 more. But the new user doesn't really understand that when they are first starting out.

    More 4* would be sweet. Especially if they're playable.

    I have to imagine another 4* cover is not terribly far away - it's been quite some time now.

    They should really release third abilities for 2 ability characters. There are ability holes at all rarity levels, and players who didn't have to shell out more HP for roster slots might happily do so to rank up fresh new abilities for their dudes (and lady-dudes).

    Shouldn't they fix the ones we already have before that?

    In general the drop rate of new ***+ looks way over the top for me, I thought BP was rushed but then we'll have a few weeks of rest. No, Thor*** is here already.

    I think unless the Hulk event drops substantial amount of HP for me I'll start dropping the unused * and ** part of my roster instead of investing on more slots, this is just not nice.

    Yeah, increased 3* character release rate + throttled HP distribution = sad pandas. They need to give our wallets a break.
