    I Think it may be a Classic fourstar awarded in PvE Before December 27th, so it may be an older option. We will see in a month or so.

    Well, it's 7am, and yet the Shield Training is strangely absent.

    Might be wrong, but I’m not sure we tend to get SHIELD Training when there is boss event...

    We get SHIELD Training (they already announced it was coming) but it does not start until the Boss event starts, so noon eastern time.

    ... except that the Prowler post (https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/76247/prowler-aaron-davis-updated-11-26-18/p1) says 7am Eastern.  So.

    Previously, there were some mistiming with the Shield Training too. I think it appeared together when the previous boss event rolled around. Anyway, Shield Training is available for 6 or 7 days.

    Oh, I know.  I just like it when posts are accurate, and when things start when D3 says they're going to start.

    Remember that time where, for a few shield trainings in a row, D3 used the other 40+ older 4* characters for all 3 essentials and it allowed almost everyone to compete and finish instead of one of the newest 4* and only allowing a smaller percentage a chance?

    Those were the days...

    Its been almost 3 months since Dazzler was released folks, if you still dont have her at 209, thats on you.......


    What i would like to see changed, is teams we face in SHIELD Training. Ideally they would even be topical to the new release, like fighting all kind of Spidey teams or at least characters from the Spider-verse... Or at least something else than last time...

    Probably just copypasta from previous release announcements. Why write a new text when you can reuse an old one?

    Honestly, what I really miss was more variety in the 4* featured node in PVE.  I greatly prefer their original solution to dilution (having the latest 12 4*s share a 50% pool of the drawn 4*s,) than this.  This honestly seems the worst of both worlds - we do get more covers for them, sure, but not a lot more covers for them and it makes the 4* featured node much harder for most of the player base, and irrelevant for the top of it.  I like playing my 4*s, but an undercovered lower level one contributes very little to the fight.

    I mean, it works, I just champed Dazzler to 273 (bad draws,) but with the old system I was getting my 4* characters to about 300-310 before they dropped off, now I think it will be 280 or so.  300 is about the point where you would consider fielding a 4* instead of a 5*, so those extra levels are very important...

    I remember when the backup characters were Prof X, Cyclops, and Wolverine, and lots of people complained because they hadn't actually champed all the old 4*s yet. That I remember.

    Yep, I was one of them. I had two of the three, but had zero luck getting any Professor X covers. Still do. He was one of my last 4*s to get champed, and still one of my lowest overall 4*s. Good times, good times.
