    Dangit. I just opened 3 new slots for dupe 2s... It's a good way to blow some of the HP from the recent sale I guess.

    Hey cool thanks!
    Randomly caught this post just before I need to roster three 3* dupes before tomorrow.

    My guess is that the time it takes to update might differ slightly from platform to platform. It's always safe to give your device some buffer time for updates to propagate.

    Why not make the discount permanent?

    30k HP for 10 bucks for Steam users who haven't yet partaken; 20% off slots. That's, what, 38 slots for a Steam user?

    Not seeing a discount,  Android 

    If you're going to put a date AND time on a feature,  might be a good idea to deliver

    Hmmmm, might have to open a few slots just for the heck of it. I'll use them eventually. Get 'em while they're hot! 

    Suggestion for a follow-up sale: 20 percent off the total ISO cost to champ a 4*! :grin:

    Hi Everyone. Apologies for the confusion. The daily update is currently in the process of being deployed. The roster slot discount should be available once this update has been implemented.

    Nice. Lot of people wanted this for a long time.

    Though I wish there had been more notice on this.

    I just bought 25 roster slots after digital day. I know somebody else who did the same : (

    No offense, but did a lot of people want a 6 day discount on roster slots for “a long time”?  Given that we have added 30% more characters over the past year, this could be permanent and players would still have increased roster costs.  Especially given that we’ll see, I’m sure, another 30-ish new characters this year.

    We've been asking for this for years! I'll just assume new character releases will be weekly now.. stock my friends

    Yes. Alot of people have wanted the price lowered on roster slots. This is first step in that direction that I can remember. I think you pick to much at my sentence to be honest

    You are right. No offense. It is nice to have a discount.  I just feel like they could reduce costs permanently given the number of characters in game.

    Time to buy some roster slots for upcoming 3* dupes.

    Just wondering... under what conditions does the game automatically apply a cover to an empty slot? Is it only for a character you don't already have rostered?

    "Hey, guys, every member of the X-Men will be getting the 5* treatment this month! And we will start with Jubilee! Hope you have enough hp!"

    I was looking to raise another 1k so I can put it towards rostering 5* Strange, Star Lord and Archangel but it looks like I'll have enough time to raise enough to cover them as well to prepare for rostering my first two 3* dupes. Guess I won't be using shields for a bit. RIP decent pvp placement.

    If you're like me and don't have a character right now for a discounted roster slot, it may be an idea to just roster any character and sell that character once you get a suitable one for that slot.
