I really wonder why the 'cutoff' for those MMR bubbles seems to fluctuate that much from tourney to tourney, something must be getting tweaked somewhere. I think it's just where the crazies settle. When they're all higher more "normies" can get higher before reaching them which in turn boosts all scores. Also, if anyone wouldn't mind hitting sandhi marvel I'd appreciate it Edit: and boom they got hit! Muhahaha

The pop-up said he got 39 points, but it was 0 points to me because of the shield. I popped back into chat to mention that it was lucky I had shielded. Then I went back into the event and was perplexed to see a retaliation node for TheBigWax, even though my points were not affected and it still had me showing 1185. Again, I went into chat and mentioned how bizarre that was. Then I went back into the event to see if I could find some queue up some good matches and, only after I had skipped several and queued up a 15-pt match to take me to 1200, I looked at my score to see that I had dropped to 1146. I know there is sometimes a sever lag with shields, but, according to the chat timeline, my points did not change until about 5 minutes after I had shielded. And I've never seen points change for a battle after you are told it cost you 0.

If it wasn't for those darned alliance points I would absolutely just let you have it. And now seasons too. Our bracket is going to be intense with Kingsucram, Ferret, entropic, icarus and noob in the mix! Heh, you're probably overestimating my roster and the time I have available to make the bracket competitive. I know that as it stands, I can't sustain a 1300+ average to compete for the no.1 spot. Would still love to finish 2-5 but my final roster placing is going to depend on whether I can hit the season average benchmark that I have set for myself.

If you are at 13/13 covers and get another cover for that character, then besides being able to respec you should be able to use the spare card for a lvl boost. Here's how it would work. 1* m storm is sacrificed to a lvl 37 m storm. She is now lvl 38. 2* Dakken goes to lvl 25 Dakken. He is now lvl 27. 3* patch goes to lvl 110 patch. He is now lvl 113. 4* IW goes into a lvl 164 IW. She is now lvl 168.

Current economics won't allow this. ie. 3* example, you are suggesting a 500 ISO (market value) card be traded for ~7,000 ISO in levelling? If the devs go for that, maybe I can sell them a bridge...

It doesn't necessarily have to be to that extent. I do feel like we need some form of power up from putting the extra cover of same character in once maxed. I mean if you have a 10/13 you don't have this option. The only time it really takes effect is if you have a non maxed 13/13 and happen to get that card again. If you have a card 13/13 maxed the 3* would still only be 500. That's why I didn't think the 3-4 levels for higher lvl rarity cards would be that big of a deal because it's somewhat if a niche situation. I understand your point though and do somewhat agree. I'm sure d3 could find a nice little balance to possibly add this in. With the semi recent update of increased sell prices though I feel like all I have ATM is wishful thinking regardless.

Yeah, I don't really see the point of this change, since selling the covers for iso functionally results in the same thing. I guess your idea is more of a small bonus for selling a cover to level up the same character, but I don't think that adds enough to the game to be worth the development time.

I have 0 idea what developmental efforts the implementation would take so I can't really comment further on that point though
