Is it time for daily 4* in DDQ?

    Agreed on all of this. I am in no-man's land right now. Lots of great 3 stars championed almost entirely supported by DDQ and finishing top 50 in PvP. 4* covers are so hard to get so I barely have any 4*s close to max other than XFW at 12 covers. Even when boosted, under-covered 4*s are not usable and actually make you a target in PvP events. I can routinely get to 800 if I grind and shield hop, but at that point I am matched up against max 4* boosted teams and I have no shot. One win is met with 3 losses in that span of time and I'm toast.

    So, basically the only way to get a 4* cover is:
    - Hope that you pull one from the ridiculously low odds in cover packs
    - Grind like crazy to get 20 CP -- seriously a huge flaw in the game is how incredibly hard it is for 3* to 4* transition players to get CP
    - Hope like hell you get a usable 4* from the Legendary token pull

    Making it worse, as pointed out above, I have 2 5*s on my roster that I'm guessing are contributing to getting matched with in PvP with teams I have no shot of beating. I haven't leveled them up at all, but also don't want to sell them because the game is moving to a 5* game.

    D3 fixed the 2* to 3* issue with DDQ. We need a fix for 3* to 4* or people like me will just give up. Sucks because I do enjoy playing the game, I'm a daily player that puts in more time than I should.

    Well, as someone with all 2*s (9) and 3*s (34) champed, many 4*s rostered (but without a single one max covered, many floating between 1-7 covers, only thanks to the Shield Resupply, champed 3* rewards and some veeeery luck token pulls...) and with more than 1.2KK ISO stored... that would be awesome: a real 4* DDQ icon_e_biggrin.gif !

    Another possibility: on Clash of Titans days, give people an either/or choice: do the 1-v-1 for a LT, or do DDQ-style 1-cover-required nodes that give a fixed cover reward for that hero. That way people who are early in their 4* transition (or who just don't have many covers for that character) can still progress, but without simply increasing the flow of 4* covers for the haves.

    I'd love that. I would cheerfully sacrifice a shot at the LT to have a shot to actually progress in my 4* roster on the 90% of the 4* DDQ days I've had to skip up to now. And eventually, when my 4* are usable (which isn't the same thing as cover-maxed), I'd have the option/ability to go after the LTs again for the 5*/finishing touches on my 4*.

    THERE ARE OVER 100 FOUR STARS IN THE GAME NOW

    103 with 4 limited (Spider-Ham, Taskmaster, Dino and Howard) to be exact. Next 4* will hit 100 4* in  tokens mark.

    And as 4* transitioner I say, one "free" cover per day is HUGE. And not that much without the ISO.

    I think in the past year the game has become much more rewarding .
    A. Shards for selective covers , been an enormous new advantage. A year ago at 6th anniversary I had one 9/13 5* and about 25 champed 4*. No other 5* above 4/13.  Now I have 1 champed 5* and 9 more between 7-8/13. All new release 4* are easily champed by the time they rotate 3 times , and leave new rotation between the 280-290 level . 
    B. SCL 10 opening , way better rewards , I’ve only been in it 6 weeks but I average a 5* cover every 2 days using all the options the game has now to earn them . Previously I was averaging 1 every 2 weeks . 
    C. By still playing for enjoyment and simple progression instead of competition I have 13M leftover ISO which I’ll never use faster than I earn .
    The same is true for HP relatively.
    D. Recent castration of certain characters that I saw in over 60% of PvAI defenses makes placement and advancement much easier, hence more rewards . I never used them anyway I didn’t believe in bringing a gun to a knife fight .

    It's long overdue that there be some kind of daily mechanism that increases the availability of both covers and ISO.  Extending DDQ seems like the easiest route to go.  Add a daily 4*, and a guaranteed 5* on the every 5-day node.  With the huge dilution problem this game continues to have, that won't even put a dent in the overall covers required, but people will at least feel like they are making SOME progress.  And add a healthy ISO allowance on the 4 and 5 star nodes.

    Is it still a zombie if the original poster is the one who revived it?

    I reread the original post and was like, wow...  It was like reading comments in your senior yearbook 20 years after you graduated.

    Quaint, but with a hint of optimism.

    And the retrospective knowledge of how harsh life really is how some things never change...  even if they should.

    ****, I read the initial post here in the boards. I would have sworn it to be like 1-2 years ago.

    Damn am I spending time on this 😅
