Is it now time for 4* time-outs?

I'm all for shelving those 3. Sadly, I already have those losers max covered and I don't want to get any more.

And IW, and flaptain.....

.... so long as this vaulting is in regards to all games aspects. That is, I don't want them popping up as an essential somewhere, post-vault.

Of course, they'll ban all the dreck the day after I finishing champing them all, meaning those champs will never pay out any rewards

I think this (championing) is the reason vaulting will never happen again. it would build up a ton of ill will with players that have chosen THAT character as their first champ. there are lots of xfw as first 4* champ, but I've seen antman, Elektra, IW, ive seen starlord as one of 2 champs. that would screw them royally.

Serious question though, would someone with only IW champed really want another champ level for her instead of better odds at a better character they haven't finished yet?

maybe, maybe not. I know I would, but others might not. I didn't care about rags being in the vault, but I was not pleased with panther. that's why I think split tokens might be better. but finishing that last guy in the 'classics' would suck too. no real good solution to the flood of characters.

Appreciate the discussion and other ideas. I think groups of 4*'s in different tokens could be cool.

I also feel like I nailed the hate index estimate.

i don't think this would be a big issue if there was a reliable way to get specific heroes from say a one shot event in which 4 * character that can be bundled with lower ranked heroes to hand out covers. every 3 days there would be a new event, 3 stages one unlocked per day. 2*, 3*, 4* rewards is what it would be based around( you can even do a all wolverine one if they wanted to ).

it would have 10 nodes 3 easy beat them all get 2* reward, 3 medium beat them all and reward, 3 hard fight beat all get 3* reward , last node difficult but not luck based impossible beat all to unlock 4* reward. this reward is for the featured 2*, 3*, 4* and it gives all the first color. the second day unlocks same set up but gives them the second color, and the third day gives the third cover.

I know what your thinking this is far too generous and is not the MPQ we know. Yes you are correct. i could suggest only make it a buy in to win, or cut it back to only a 3 day period per week, but i won't this is what they should be doing getting everyone a chance to feel out their heroes and play with them and experiment with them see what work and what doesn't work.

the best thing about marvel is the stories they tell and we are not getting any thing close to what we should be getting the could getting set ups into comic stories where we are left on a cliff hangers, or our favorite hero/ villain enters the fray. if we want to find out what happens check out issue # from ___ series. they can be funneling new people to get caught up in their comics. i would love to see a superior spiderman event. or get launched into one of their new breakout heroes, or have the thing clash with the hulk, or go on the hunt with the punisher, watch deadpool hunt carnage. and get this if you buy the comics guess what here is a code to get you more covers or you link to your account and they show up in your gifts!! win win

they are using all the wrong ways to exploit peoples frustration to try to make them pay more by keeping them starved and poor, may players with start to associate this frustration with marvel, or just to Demiurge studios if they are lucky. Why would they want to do this?

they could be doing so much more with this opportunity with marvel but they are just squandering this chance of a lifetime and it is like they are actively trying to not tell stories just release characters with out telling their story. This could be such a launch pad of marvel but it is just predatory and disgusting.

But just take this as one person's opinion on how to get more 4* in the mix with out having to TINYKITTY vault characters.

PS. they could also have each fight give larger and larger amounts of ISO to help with that. Start 500 on lowest and increase by a 1000 each level. and maybe a 5000 bonus for beating each grouping.

Yes, apparently it is time.

Coming soon to a game near you.

they should let us pick who we want in the packs. or who we want increased odds of or something. power to the players!!

This topic's a year old. If you're going to revisit an old idea, make a new topic and link to the old one.

Jeez, this does nothing but clutter up the board with out of date topics that confuse people.

haven't read the whole thread. Vaulting was a bad practice and should not be reintroduced. It's very disadvantageous for anyone who does not already have most or all of the older characters fully covered.

But some changes do need to be made to let players target specific characters as they build their rosters. I have been saying this for at least 18 months. The different between Thor/Iceman/Peggy as a first 4* champ versus fantastic/elektra/wasp is massive. And there is basically nothing the player can do if RNG says "YOU SHALL HAVE FANTASTIC COVERS!"

33 4*'s.

That's the number of 3*'s that were in DDQ when it started. I don't think we need to rotate 4*'s in tokens - I think D3 needs to accept 4* is the new 3*. They need to be rewarded in DDQ, put everywhere that 3*'s were, and ISO needs to be adjusted so you can max a 4* in a couple of weeks (since that is their release rate anyway).

-Because- the topic is a year old, I'll reply to my younger self.

I still see this as quite valid. With champing more than ever - 13 covers is just a -start-.

More 4*'s than 3*'s now, and more coming every week. Daily DDQ -RIGHT NOW- would give you about 9 covers a year of each 4* (if you could beat each one!).....probably 8 covers of each by the time the year is done.

Talk about confusing.

I read permanently vault IW, starlord and Cho.

This is an interesting little time capsule where (some) of the best characters were once the worst.

Please don't necro threads as it only confuses the majority of the forum base. Any details about Bonus Heroes will come out in an official post.
