poll: new characters yay or nay?

mpqr7

The roster cost doesn't bother me. With championing, I get plenty of HP to cover the costs. I sometimes go nutz on pve for new releases, and other times, I just wait to get it in the following pvp a week or so later.

I'm just getting a bit burnt out on the game, and I can't use the new characters for around a year or so later, so it doesn't really matter how quickly I get them fully covered.

I would also like to add to my previous post that cp needs to increase across the board. No more of the 1 cp here or there. If they plan to keep with the two new character releases per month then they need to up the ante with resources so players can keep up. I understand that cuts into their profits as some people will whale resources (myself included from time to time) but that may come to a screeching halt if players start to weigh the cost/ reward ratio (such as I have).

Reading some of the recent posts, I would like to point out that players saying the new chars won't be usable for a year are not playing optimally. 4* Pun has been out for a little while now and mine is 2/5/3 (soon to be 3/5/3 after I complete sim). I am currently in 2nd place in the PvE (no late join, started last Thursday) along with vets in my bracket and pulled a Drax from the vault so hopefully by the end I will have a 2/2/2 build. Granted that is not optimal but he has a pvp event soon so there is another cover at 1000 plus the possibility from the event tokens, he will most likely be the reward in next season's sim so there is two more covers just by playing. I am not familiar with the player names from the posts I am talking about so I cannot comment on rosters, play style, etc...just pointing out that if you want to make a character useful it shouldn't take anywhere near a year...iso cost to level them is a different story but from 70 to 150 is not that much iso and at 150 most 4*s are plenty usable.

Not playing optimally or not in a top alliance? For those of us who are not in a top 50/10 alliance those covers are a lot harder to come by. A lot of us are hated by the randomness of tokens too, I know I used over 30 tokens to get Howard the Duck from his Vault and didn't obtain a single 4* cover. Then we have the following versus event for new releases, again nit all of us are in the position or alliance to get those placement covers. After the release story event and the filling versus event a lot of players are lucky to get 1 of each character and then have to wait months for the next versus event for additional covers.

I could NOT care less for another new character...

No to level.
Diluted chances for covers.
Etc.
