Sure it sucks to lose this particular feature but the new feature will help the 95% of the players not looking for 5* LL swaps, but rather saving that 3* Dr Doom they're so bummed about. We were all there at one time Sure... but Dr.Doom is hundreds, if not thousands of times more likely that a specific 5*.I fear this is another nail in the coffin of MPQ. I wonder how many more of my friends will quit at the end of this season.

nycjonny said: Brigby are the swaps that happen to another LL when and if you have an LL character at 550 also ending?
bowla33 said: DarkPhx - because your chances of getting a particular 5 are still much higher. .

And they're trying to walk the fine line of making the 1% happy while (assuming) continuing to make the game desirable for new players too.Long story short if it's that big of a deal maybe it's time to find a new game/hobby to spend your time on. I have a few champed 5*s but am in no way a whale, to me this isn't a big deal at all. Certainly not to the point of being legitimately upset over.
Basepuzzler said: So what I’m reading is the developers coded a way to allow 1 for 1 swaps to replace CS tickets. But then they multiplied the cost by 5. In what world does that make sense?

In what world does that make sense? It wasn't code. This was a temporary service that Customer Support provided through Support Tickets. We wanted to help alleviate the concern of unusable covers, but it quickly grew to consume a significant portion of their CS efforts. This was one reason why the team developed an in-game feature instead, that accomplishes the same goal, with the added benefit of applying to 2-Star, 3-Star, and 4-Star characters as well!

But it's a positive in so many other cases. The vast majority of the time, you'll get the 13th cover before you max the 5 saved covers and have to convert. Yes, exceptions happen, but they'll be pretty rare.Everyone knew the 5* swap wasn't going to last forever. I'm currently opening LL's right now trying to complete JJ and Okoye, so this might end up affecting me, but I'm still fine with the change.As with all changes in the game, some will accept this more quickly than others. Some never will. It's the nature of things.

The number need for a 5 swap is WAY to highif you needed 5 for 2 and 3 4, for 4 and 3 for 5 cover swap that would be pretty reasonable and I wouldn't have as big a problem with it.But a 5 to 1 ratio after having a 1 to 1 ratio (even as a courtesy) is a huge kick in the junk
Akari said: 5 to 1 ratio is impossibly high. Maybe 3 for 1 for a 5*, because that's already super painful.It's gonna be super hard to cover latests now (for those of us without hoards).
