    Hello, all-caps.

    I agree it's disappointing, but, c'mon man. It's a completely extra event. You spent a few minutes and got a few hundred ISO that you wouldn't have gotten otherwise. And then you can continue to acquire Rogue covers in exactly the same way as any other new 4* release. It's not like this was the only way to get a Rogue cover.

    How about we finally bring back the Xmen but *evil laugh*  demand players have very specific characters to play in the event and spend a great deal of money!

    This. Yeah it sucks but I don't understand why people are having meltdowns over this.

    Generally i suspect the  money pressure comes more from d3 than demi.

    But while complaints about the fairly steep requrements for this event are fair, c'mon people!  MPQ has been charging 100USD for less iso than it takes to champ a single 3* for more than 3 years. That is a hundred bucks for less than 1/40th of the 3rd rate tier of play!  We cannot now be shocked, SHOCKED, that the game is pressuring us to spend.  It's irritating, and disappointing, and a good targrt for criticism. But it's not surprising.

    yes you are missing the fact that you've only played this game for 3 months - the rewards aren't that big , you're making a bid deal out of nothing

    True, that is a good way to look at it. Disappointed, but not surprised

    5 months not 3, and with 6 stark salary, it count as more than 5 months, anyway i have 48 4* char (another way to look at it).

    Yes, this is how it should be.

    I've been playing 10x longer than you and spent more money than you. I don't find it unfair that there are awards available to me that aren't available to you yet.

    i was not looking for Rougue cover (it make no difference to me) but ISO help.

    True it is extra event, or maybe not, a month ago or more, was another extra event (maybe it is regular now), but in the previous event we were able to get all nodes rewards and 2 4* covers.

    anyway (new events or regular events) it is for all players (or it should be), not all rewards should be for all players.
    but that does not mean a new events for some player should get less than 1% of the rewards.

    I kind of agree with the original poster. I have the full 4* roster but they're not high-level enough to do the final mission that nets the Rogue cover. (You need Wolvie, 4Clops, and ProfX... AND they have to be 209 or higher. I have those three in the 120-140 range, I have OTHER 209s, but not both.)

    I mean, yeah, I'll probably have Rogue this time next week -- maybe sooner if I decide to spend some of my HPs on extra chances -- but my initial enthusiasm that they added the character which was my first choice in the poll kinda got kicked in the jimmies just a little bit by having her be put out of reach by something so seemingly arbitrary.

    6 starks + VIP in 3 months is a respectable amount of whaling.  But it just isnt that much when it comes to MPQ whales.  There are players that spend that much every week.

    congrats, I've played for 1323 days I am afraid to count how much I have spent, I might get to the 3rd node at the bottom, this isn't little league baseball, we don't all get a trophy

    Dude, I can't even be nice about this. If you want people to read your posts:

    - Learn what paragraphs are
    - Don't fall asleep on the punctuation keys
    - Lay off the caps
    nice comment, I liked it, but would you please explain the first point to me "Learn what paragraphs are"
    as English is not my language, I did not understand it, what do you mean, what should i change when i make new posts?

    @Lucifier - You have posted nearly the same thing in at least 3 different threads now.
    The answer to your question, is: Yes. This is how it is supposed to be.
    Are the new 1* and 2* players pissed they can't enter SCL9 and get all those sweet rewards? no, they know they have to put in time and effort to build their roster before they qualify for all the rewards.

    I am not claiming to be a whale or something, all my point is:
    new event for a player that have 48/56 4* rostered can only get 400 iso (or less than 1%) of the new event rewards.
    I can not put it in any better words.

    I don't want to guess the intents of the company here but this is an anniversary celebration. MAybe they wanted to do something special for people who have played for years, not months. All of us that have played for 2-3 years have Cyclops - Xforce and ProfX

    I think the only big issue with this event is that it launched before the Rogue and Friends Vault. Whenever there is a required character they have done a good job of at least creating the illusion that the character can be obtained. Until the Rogue and Friends Vault appears that just is not the case for Cyclops, Wolverine, and Charles. The odds of opening one, let alone all three, of them right now is nonexistent. It should have launched with the Rogue and Friends Vault and IMO the vault should feature 4 4*s (one of each) rather than 3 (1 Rogue and 2 random of the 3).
