MPQ Suggestions and Feedback
Wasp and Loki were each given a four-star feeder before they were required in PVE. That was really cool, and it would be great if that were the norm.
I’ve pulled 42 Latests since Cable entered on Monday, and I still haven’t gotten a single Cable cover. And now he’s required for PVE tomorrow. That’s really frustrating!
It would be really nice if new Legendary characters consistently got a feeder ahead of being required in PVE. Maybe a Classic feeder could be announced at the same time, so that those would eventually catch up, too.

This was one of the things people asked for since they become essentials so quick. When they did this for 2 5* in a row many thought that this one concern was finally addressed. Looks like they didn’t make a fix for this and now back to the same old same old for Kitty and Cable.
What also sucks is you play for a top 10 PVE ally and now since you went 0/42 for Cable you are in a bad spot to help out our ally.
I asked this before with Kitty and never got a response.
@Brigby
can this be addressed? Was the Loki and Wasp only a 2 time thing? Do they understand how this effects the players?

Have a guess.
Feeders means people don't need to Crack hoards to get the required chars.
They tried it twice, looked at metrics, and went straight back to no feeders for the new releases.
Gee, I wonder why.

Would it be nice to have feeders before the 5 is essential? Yes, of course.
Pushing out feeders is obviously nice for players and helps them avoid cracking hoards. It might depress spending a little, but you can't complete anyone with just a feeder. It's a very nice goodwill gesture.
But Cable is hardly the first person to be essential soon after entering tokens.
Here is the history: (date are Release, Tokens(entered LT), Essential (Time from tokens to essential)
DD R 8/24/18 T 9/11/17 E 10/2/17 (3 weeks)
Gambit R 10/5/17 T10/23/17 E 11/9/17 (2 1/2 wks)
Thor R 11/3/17 T 11/20/17 E 12/17/17 (4 wks)
Archie R 12/14/17 T 1/1/18 E 1/8/18 (1 week)
5GR R 1/25/18 T 2/12/18 E 2/19/18 (1 week)
JJ R 3/181/8 T 3/26/18 E 4/16/18 (3 weeks)
Cap IW R 4/19/18 T 5/7/18 E 5/10/18 (3 days)
Okoye R 5/17/18 T 6/4/18 E 6/7/18 (3 days)
Wasp R 6/28/18 T 7/16/18 E 7/23/18 (1 week)
Loki R 8/9/18 T 8/27/18 E 9/6/18 (1 1/2 weeks)
Kitty R 9/20/18 T 10/8/18 E 10/21/18 (13 days)
Cable R 10/18/18 T 11/5/18 E 11/11/18 (6 days)
We have had 6/12 5's be essential just a week (or less) after entering tokens. Wasp was one of those....
The point is, the complaint is valid but not new. If Wasp and Loki hadn't set an expectation (false as it may be), we'd be upset, but it wouldn't sting as much.
Note that if the devs looked at Wasp and Loki, saw reduced spending, and drew a conclusion, well....the desirability of the characters may also have had an impact there.
I do hope the devs decide to make more insta-feeders. It's definitely not too late to set up feeders for Kitty and Cable....

This is great data
@bluewolf
. Too bad this thread will die in this dead sub forum and not many people will see it.

My fault, Rockett, for placing it here. I don’t use the forums very much.
