wymtime said: So my wife also plays this game and is transitioning from 3* land to 4*. I actually do see how this will help her progress faster and helps her in PVP. Overall I don’t think this solution is good for the long term health of the game. My wife is not going to be playing 40 matches to get the 4* cover as it still takes a lot of time. If you take a look at placement CL 6 and 7 are going to star getting more 5* players taking placement away from true CL6-7 players. As players progress and get a championed 5* their progression will be slammed to a stop because they will start facing 5* teams and use up all their health packs trying to get to 40 wins. The same thing will happen to new 4* players. Imagine having one buffed 4* and all your PVP nodes were Medusa Rocket teams? You would be using a health pack on your 4* every match while trying to get to 40 wins. The players who were grinding really trying to get the 4* cover will be in a much better situation and that is good. The gap between 5* players and 4* players in reality will only close as 5* players leave the game. The gap at this point in time is too big. These changes are for the pod of the game but the reality is the quality of life is only good for not worrying about getting hit. The quality of life as far as play time goes is reversed. In order to progress many players will now have to play a lot more then they have in the past and this is not just 5* players but 2*, 3*, and 4* players. The devs could have done a lot of different things to fix the issues in PVP they caused. I will accept the changes because I have to or I would leave the game, but I feel it is extremely important to give my feedback in constructive ways.
The rockett said: I would be absolutely embarrassed if I worked for a company that had this bad communication to its customers. All we have been asking for the past 2 days is something. Anything. Yet they seem to think that we do not need to know until it shows up. Yea maybe I am going over the edge a bit, but this is insane.

Brigby said: I'm afraid my original comment may have appeared a bit disengenuous. The original reason for this implementation was because the developers determined there would actually be more players that achieved the CP reward if put in placement, than if they tried to acquire it in progression.The reason I said that I didn't know the exact reasoning in the above comment, was more so that I wanted to reaffirm with the developers if this was still the case, after reviewing the results of the test. I apologize for the confusion.
The rockett said: @Milk Jugz I agree. Need to see the season info also and I am very concerned about that as well.
Liftoff said: Thank you devs! Now I have more free time since I will be going only for 16 wins instead of 900. More time with my kids!!!!
