HoundofShadow said: Hadronic, can you do one without Saved Covers and without 1:1 swapping service?
awarnica said: Just going to throw this out here - you guys worked hard on this idea. Weeks maybe months of design. Then - minutes after you posted, people pointed out potential issues. Then you changed course within days. This happenned with the save feature and the cover swap removal for 550’s. Maybe - you should have a small subsection of players - not a survey but a group of 10 2*/3*/4*/5* players and poll them in advance. Not a survey but a real conversation. You may find out that there are smart players who put in way too much time analyzing the changes, and find some opinions before the release! Maybe even do some tweaks prior to the announcements!This is not a unique idea, focus groups are used in a number of other places.

Pants1000 said:Does your math assume you exchange any time you get 3 saved covers? If you have a 5/4/3 character with 3 saved covers, you’re probably better off holding onto them and waiting for the next pull. No matter what they do some people will complain. It will work perfectly for some people and horribly for others. I’ve heard a few people say they had a character at 10/9/0 or something like that. With 3 cover exchanges you could exchange 3 times and have them champed. With 5 cover exchanges you’d have a 5/5/1 character with 4 saved covers, still at least 2 more covers from champing them. Personally I’m fine with 3 or 5 cover exchanges. Either way is a lot better than 2000 ISO.
