    This should be right:

    This I think should help for individual rewards showing actual received taking into account the "+ rewards from lower levels".

    All levels are not receiving 4* characters.

    "Rewards from the previous rank" is not going to work the same way across all clearance levels. We have examples of CL3 and CL6 screen shots already. Based on the chart, if I had to guess, only CL6 and CL7 will work that way.

    Is there going to be any change to progression or are clearance levels *only* about placement?

    Pretty sure the progression previews were posted in the other thread today.

    So, will clearance levels affect Node (awards... those spots with 6 rewards, dunno how you call it) rewards, or only progression and placement rewards?

    Confirmed via the in-game preview, progression rewards are different for every tier and include a fixed 4-star cover at CL7 in addition to the 25 CP.

    Does this mean for the alliance reward everybody has to be at the same CL level to get the best chance for the alliance prize, or can it vary, and it is just based on point total?
    It is hard to see if that will be a level playing field or not.

    A step in the right direction, excited to see clearance levels 8-10 in a few months.

    Earning alliance rewards is going to work the same way it always has. The points you contribute to your alliance for the event will help determine where your alliance places. What's going to change is what you'll potentially get in return for your effort.

    If you're playing at CL1, what you get won't be as nice as what you'd get at CL4 won't be as nice as what you'd get at CL7.

    Which represents a step back for newer players, but also perhaps reduces the OH TINYKITTY WHO DO I KEEP pressures that new rosters so often face in those first couple-few weeks. Placement for individual users may vary because they'll get bracketed with other people playing at the same level, but assuming functionally the same progression point totals for individual users before as after, alliance finishes should be unaffected. A T50 alliance will remain so, absent a change in the points put up by their members or those of other alliances.

    So i just signed up for pool vs mpq at lvl 7 which stated multiple 4 stars..then previewed prog awards to find...
    The progression rewards are not only not better than what they have always been but theres only 1 4 star cover in it
    In addition the placement rewards are basically the same...
    So..is the preview broken or is basically nothing better at lvl7 even though we were told it would be?
    Am i nuts here or is this basically the same?
    I mean its SLIGHTLY better iso but other than that im not seeing a noticeable improvement

    Look at it again. Progression rewards are much better. Two 3 stars, one 4 star, plus 25 cp at the end.

    With that said, placement got the nerf hammer hard. Less 4 star rewards, much less 3 star rewards, no 2 stars. Just useless elite tokens.

    What was your placement giving you before? Were you among the 1% actually making top 10 for 3 rares and a legendary? Your Legendary just moved to medium-high progress in the next event. .5% getting two Legendaries and three Rares? Poop yourself now, because you still get those, plus 2 Rares and a Legendary in progress in the next event. Top 100 are kind of screwed though. 3 Elites tokens, dropping who knows what, and two rares of the same color. Except that Top 100 in tier 7 probably have their rares Championed anyway, so they still get 2 Champion levels from Progress, plus a Legendary they weren't getting before. Dear Lord does the .1% at the number 1 spot benefit. 6 covers won, and still able to get the progress rewards next time. There's bad here, yes, but there's definitely good here.

    Why are they giving Standard tokens for CL7 at all? Especially when David said no more Standard tokens for CL5 and up?

    This annoyed me.

    I was looking forward to grinding nodes for Tokens that matter.

    I've cleared 2 nodes in MPQ and gone back to finishing the Gauntlet.

    Enthusiasm is now rock bottom.

    I don't Think he ever said "no more standard tokens", just that Elite tokens would be replacing standard tokens. The Community read it as "all standard tokens" when he clearly meant "a few standard tokens"...

    Yeah imagine them saying what they mean, instead of being as vague and contradictory as possible.

    Clearance levels 8-10 had better be right around the corner instead of 3-6 months away, because I'd really really really like to compete for rewards that are actually meaningful for shield level 69+.

    I don't Think the announcement was vague or contradictory. It was lacking in detail, and we got a bit optimistic filling in the blanks, but considering details seem to change a lot I'd also be hesitant to post too much info and then have to redact some of it.

    Maybe my memory isnt great of past evenys prog rwds but other than an addtl 3 star and the cp that just doesnt really strike me as very meaningful...
    Also i signed up lvl 7 and the cp is 15..not 25
    But whatever i guess a little bit of something is still better than a whole lot of nothing so far as the "improved" rewards are concerned...just hoping lvls 8 to 10 are significantly better.

    Also i swear the preview of lvl 7 stated Multiple 4 stars...not just one

    Guess i am greedy but what i was really hoping for is better mission rwds based on clearance level...that would actually make the grind of clearing same matches over and over a bit more tolerable and would actively provide more iso to the higher lvl rosters that need it most

    The 25 CP is now divided into two 5 CP milestones and then 15 at the end. And there's also the 4* cover at about 60% progress...
