So the question is what is "Bonus Heroes"?

Anyone care to guess?

JHawkInc

We've seen speculation on this, I think.

If memory serves correct, the idea was to let people select a Bonus Hero, and then get better odds of pulling that hero from tokens, as a method of allowing people to pursue the characters they wanted most instead of being completely stuck to RNG.

No idea exactly how it would work, but that was the idea, in theory, at least.

Did you tell him to push the [?] button?

This should exist at all S.H.I.E.L.D. levels after! It'd help people building their 4 and 5-star rosters be less frustrated. Even a bump of 10% is a big deal.

We're not allowed to discuss unreleased features that are currently in the live game...

Cough DDQ updates cough

And the forum's general consensus?

Oh man, can we get a thread announcing this and then a halfhearted retraction? That was hilarious.

Regarding this new feature that I've never seen and about which I know absolutely nothing, let me be the first to say...

I HATE it!! It SUCKS!!! Another feature entirely for the benefit of 5* players and whales that sticks it to the little guy. It's all just a big money grab. Ooh, I'm SOOO impressed. This just proves that the designers never listen to a word we say. I demand that every single one of them be fired on the spot, along with the executive team, tech support, and the custodial staff. Brigby too. So you mean to tell me I have to actually press a button to get the characters I want!! Are you kidding me??? Way to go D3. Thanks for nothing!!!!

That's really odd. I checked my game after the update, and it isn't there

You softcapped your roster for nearly a year, how do you not have a ton of Iso all saved up? Lol. Anyways I'll gladly take extra covers for champs or actually getting characters covered. You can always sell the extra covers for iso.

Sometimes it would be nice to have things announced and explained before they're live in the game already...

Locking topic. It seems this is an unintended release of info and we the mods have decided to err on the side of caution and lock this thread until we can get an official response from Brigby or a member of the dev team. We apologize for the confusion and frustration this causes but ask for your patience and understanding while we get official word on this feature. We also ask that you refrain from starting any new topics related to this matter. Thank you.

Hi Everyone. I guess you can consider this a teaser! We are really excited about this new feature, and we'll have more to say about it when it goes live.

broll

Any official word on when it goes live and/or how it might work?

huktonfonix

I came here to make a snarky post inviting bets on how long before Brigby redacts the image that is already live and viewable in-game. I see I'm 20 minutes too late with my snark.

I understand most of the information will be revealed in due time, but is there anything you can share with us at this time?

You redacted the picture, though.

I'm not complaining, myself. I'll see it when I see it, and I appreciate a sense of humor about the leak.
