    The idea of you being in the character selection screen, deciding to train, and the selection screen being on the same character after you finish and go back is a good idea. 

    This (seemingly unintended) consequence we are seeing - which is probably the most common impact of this change on your play and roster interactions - is not helpful at all.
    And that's what I thought the patch was meant to do, but I just went into the Roster screen, levelled up Emma Frost, clicked back and was right at the top of the list again.

    So...the thing I have wanted for ages wasn't patched into the game and the thing no-one wanted was.

    I wonder if they just mis-understood what we wanted.
    For that, you could just bh those you want temporarily to see that selection... no need to change ui for that... 

    Kinda hoped this was attempt to improve finding available essentials. Especially if different variations of a character are possible like in boss side nodes. Just drag them to first page of team like in LR or DP3*/4* (Valentine) pvp... (but test first please, if you wanna give that a try...)

    This change is stupid and serves no purpose, whoever greenlit this is a moron. When i logged in i thought why the hell was i rolled back or something
    It's those mini heart attacks that i can go without.

    Also i foresee this somewhat slowing down pve grinds. As a 5* player i need my 5*s more than whatever is in the middle of my roster at any given time.

    Please fix asap

    Glad to know this is a bug; it is highly unpleasant to deal with

    In the grand scheme of the game this is a medium level annoyance.  But it's unique in that it makes me not want to play the game.   I expect it to last the entire event now which is gonna be a huge annoyance with 5 different essentials each refresh.  If this was really a priority this should have been fixed before sinister six started.

    GUI design is like dolphin extermination.
    The fewer clicks the better.

    It's like they think, "You know what, going through your roster is not quite tedious enough, wait, we already change cover art every three days, then we created about 15 covers with the same horrendous white background, so you have no idea who they are, lets make selecting characters to play really, really REALLY awful, by making our victims click the backspace button 15 times before playing a match".

    This is even more annoying in this boss event. Whenever you go to the side nodes, it plonks you in the middle of your roster every single time. Like why? Why would you put this in the game? Its so utterly pointless.

    Brigby has acknowledged it's a bug and not the intended result. They'll get it fixed. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

    @Brigby
    when is this getting fixed?  I haven’t seen a single positive response and personally I can say that if this continues any longer I will both stop spending money and reconsider using these amazon coins I have been buying each week in preparation for digital day. @IceIX can you assist with this please?

    More than likely the next update.  It feels like this might be a 2 week bug unless they do a Hot Fix, if that is possible.

    'wolverine ready' - 'may we suggest the 2* version!'  ...  'no?, well have fun scrolling for 2 minutes to find the one you want!'

    Whats taking them so long? Certainly doesn't take them this long to fix wrong draw rates on 5*s.

    This was the same for me except the game thought it would be good to suggest I use my 1*, level 1 black widow over every other iteration in the roster. And that's all the way on the right side of the roster.  Wasn't there  a scroll bar instead of clicks for roster mavigation?

    God those covers are so ugly and bland. They should have just used variants with a 10 in the corner. If they change the artwork from a 10 to a 5 for Anniversary I'm going to cry.

    Why does it think that I really want to use Bagman in the Spider-Man essential node?

    Because Bag Man is way OP!!!   But really, this is something that comes up ever once and awhile. No idea why the system cannot select your highest for you.

    Because that's a percentile number that can be changed easily with a data push.

    This fix requires digging into the code and figuring out what is triggering this issue and how to circumvent it without compromising anything else.

    Coding is like playing Jenga.

    A normal company would rollback to the last version, then code the new one while the game is stable again.
    And then, you know, maybe actually TEST the change before rolling it out.
    But the concept of testing is still alien to Demiurge, even after 5 years.
