Updates to S.H.I.E.L.D. Training (10/17/17)

Jarvind

While I'm not particularly upset about it, requiring a 209 Rogue just to complete the main block of missions is flagrantly ignoring the #1 complaint about the first run of this thing.

Esheris

Couldn't it just require that character instead of needing a level attached? Kinda like how Deadpool Daily works, at least then we can try. Would be a lot friendlier and possibly receive good feedback (Which would be a breathe of fresh air!).

Ever wonder if the developers ARE "the whales" man?

Umm, no.  Every indication we have seen suggests that the devs have a very poor grasp of high level play in mpq.  I would be legitimately shocked if anyone at demi turned out to be a stealth whale. . .

An event with requires 1 characters to be at high level, 1 of whom hasn't been released until the event starts and the other hasn't even made it into rotation yet.  

Why go through the trouble of creating events almost no one can fully participate in?  Do you want the player base to hate you or was a decision made to cater to only the players to pay the highest amounts of money?

This event makes no sense at all, but what is worse is what one expects is that the next character release will feature Rogue and Nightcrawler on their Training Event - assuming the next character is released before anyone can pick up either of them. 

We have to keep out the Riff-Raff after all.

I'm trying to be more positive about things these days.

Right now I'm happy that I might be able to reach that 1,100 ISO reward. That's the only positive feedback I can give to this entire event.

That's what they want you to think

if they were good at 4D Underwater Chess they'd be much better at making good business decisions

Looking forward to getting 0 Nightcrawler covers just like I got 0 Rouge's the last time.

If you can't achieve Top 100 to get that first cover, then you're either not willing to play hard enough to achieve that or...you're roster isn't ready to make the cut. If it's the latter, we've all experienced that and nobody gets to skip it. It's part of the achievement structure of this game.

For many months I could not play 3* and 4* essential nodes either because I didn't yet have the character from previous events or didn't have the spare HP to roster them when I did get them. That's part of the game structure. Every decision you make has rewards and consequences. You can't always have everything.

After sticking with it, I now have the ability to get Top 100 every character release if a decent life time schedule allows and I put a certain about into it.

I was never as frustrated with not being able to go faster than I wanted to because my expectations weren't unrealistic.

Those of you who are really frustrated with these situations, the best thing you can do is evaluate your expectations. "Expectations are premeditated disappointments." The more unrealistic they are, the more pain you're causing yourself.

By the way, my Rogue is three covers (I'll be very limited), my Elektra is five covers (lvl 120 is all I can achieve), and my Invisible Woman is champed. So I'm not someone who isn't also missing out a lot on these rewards. I'm not as irked by it (some irked) because I don't expect to be able to have it all. Spending the money is a choice. I never have and I don't feel forced to.

Thanks for making an event that caters only to the top 20% of the players. "Here's a new event that requires you to have the 4* character that just came out, fully covered and levelled to play" LMMFAO.

VASH1456

I better hurry and spend my kids college fund on the off hope I'll actually get 10 covers for rogue that i need and not other **** cover pulls where the game gives you 56 of the same color cover lol. 

robertbah

Hey don’t be surprised that the next required characters are nightcrawler, Rogue, whoever. They try very hard to make us spend to cover the new release 4* as soon as possible.

Zobaken

Wow, new SHIELD training is even worse than the Rogue one.  It's like you've listen to everything that players has pointed out as wrong and then doubled it. You really hate us, Demi, do you?

SirLanik

10 Rogue covers required to get Nightcrawler? So this event is aimed at like, .02% of the player base? 
At this rate will we need 10 Gambit 5* covers for the next one? 

bluewolf

Rogue is in tokens in about 4 hours.  Money.

By the way, devs, maybe running this at the same time as wins PVP beginning was not the best choice.  Did you want Anniversary to create a positive feeling about your game that could continue for a little while?

TriSentinel

Wow, this is hot trash! Thanks for making it worse! 

WEBGAS

If I should express my real feeling for D3 at this moment, I surely will be banned.....

Great job Devs!  (sarcasm intended)

pheregas

Unless Rogue covers fall from the sky like mana from the gods, due to the Rogue Paywall, I've actually completed less of the event this time as the last run.

TriSentinel

I’d like to see a shift in how they set the game up, because a change like this that locks out non whales, is a slap in the face to players that have been playing and supporting for years.
