Increased sell price for revamped covers - not anymore

veny

Seems we have a new trend since Invisible Woman rewamp... why?

I have never understood this- so you spent resources on a bad character, now it's improved and people want to sell it?

veny

Improved? Thats very subjective...
And investing in bad character... well, interesting point of view. Should we rather invest in 3 best covers in each level?
Championing rings a bell?

Anyway, we had this "refund" mechanism for years... why change it?

Agreed it should only be for nerf characters but I believe the reasoning is if the character's abilities are vastly changed, even if it is a buff, some players like the older version (e.g. Devil Dino).

They did not have a sellback for Vision's buff earlier in the year either but he only received increased damage on all his powers and it was communicated there would be no sellback bonus. Maybe the devs feel since this is IW's 4th buff, that they finally nailed it and sellback is not necessary.

I disagree with this. Buff or nerf if what you had suddenly changes on you, you should have the right to return it. If my copy of Iron Man 3 suddenly turned into Spider-Man 2,some would call it nerf, others would call it a buff. I would call it reason to grab a pitchfork and demand a refund.

I hope the lack of increased resale value for is just a mistake. and still have increased resale values. Both should have returned to normal resale value by now.

and have increased value too. Frankly, they should keep Dino up, since he's just an anniversary character.

The method itself is a throwback to Ragnarok when he started out as stupidly OP and was nerfed hard to be less so everyone complained they'd spent real money to level him up and now he was worthless. So they learned that lesson and increased the sale price.

It became a standard practise to increase the sale price on a major character change as a method of compensation if the character no longer felt viable to the player. Perhaps this is Demiurge thinking "Wait...why are we doing this with every character, regardless of the changes?"

Or maybe it was an oversight, who knows?

No matter how good change is, there always be someone who is harmed by this change (except for obvious weaklings like Chulk).
Like Dino - Almost everyone is happy but revamp made him useless for me.

I am going to be a little bit sarcastic here. If they increased the sell back price for their characters because they changed the abilities and they play differently. Well then, they should increase the sell price of all characters when they change pvp or pve.

I mean that does change how their merchandise works right? I mean if pve favors faster clears or health longevity due to having to do 4 clears at one time, obviously some characters become more useful right? When they add new pves, obviously some characters will work better, so other ones will be more useless right. This is the same when they introduce new characters... I can go on.

Resale prices have been updated.

resale value is still increased.

Spiritclaw

This isn't the first time a character hasn't gotten the amped sell price. I think demiurge doesn't amp the price when they feel confident that the character is improved and will be perceived that way.

Anyone consider that maybe it was intentional until after Clash of the Titans?
