If that's how you feel why are you still here? What reasoning keeps you playing?

Loki and Wasp were given feeders right away which was a HUGE plus in the eyes of the players and an awesome change we were all asking for. But no....here we are again with nothing at all and we wait and wait and wait all while more and more players leave the game. Oh well doesn’t matter anymore.

shobi6669 said: Does anyone think that they will build to the point where each classic 5 has a feeder and then start in giving them a second one? I have been sort of hoping that if the release schedule holds true, there should always be enough 4 stars that each 5star could end up having more than one feeder in the end. Probably just wishful thinking, but it was the feeders that drove me to enter the 5star level of play (due to all the feeders that came out prior to saved covers) and multiple feeders may cause a similar influx of players at the 5star level.

The game play is stale and boring and that is just a fact. 1735 days in and never missed a day.

I wouldn't be surprised if they saw significantly reduced token pulls for those two characters: if you were an established player and only wanted a single cover to unlock essential nodes in PVE, then it likely guaranteed you that cover without the need to spend any hoarded tokens or CP.That might have been a boon to players, but not great if the aim is to sell more HP and CP.

JHawkInc said: Don't hold your breath. These devs are NEVER going to answer simple questions like that if they can help it. Don't want to risk making even a vague promise and having people be upset if things change later down the line. It's easier to just deny providing information in the first place so it's impossible to break a promise in the first place. You see that plenty of that with all of the patterns going back years that the players have mapped out that the devs will follow 99% of the time and still never acknowledge.
HoundofShadow said: There are only 9 5* including 5* Captain Marvel left without a feeder.Archangel, Cable, Captain Marvel, Doctor Doom, Dr Strange, Gambit, Kingpin, Kitty Pryde and The Hulk.
ThaRoadWarrior said: @Daredevil217 you’re not wrong about being wrong about feeders lol. I’ll never stop speculating though! Isn’t prefer C4rol feed her simply because I have a decent C4rol and an unclamped Fury with just a few saved covers. Fury is one of the few Pull-as-i-go casualties I had from the pre-saving day’s though - I must have lost about 8 covers since I could only ever get blue for him

Managing a game is a pretty constant balance between being too generous and being too stingy. If you're too stingy players lose interest because it's too hard, but if you're generous people lose interest because it's too easy.
I will point out there are a lot of players out there with a max-level 4* Captain Marvel -- point of fact I'm one of them and I think I was pretty late to that party. At this time CM is my only max-level 4*, and I suspect that's true of many other players. I do have a duplicate, because we got a rush of her covers my duplicate is currently 283. So if 4* Captain Marvel feeds 5* Captain Marvel, that means I'll get 7 covers - six from the main, one from the duplicate.
By contrast, if they have Fury feed her (which is still a strong connection because of the movie,) I'll get 4 covers - my Fury was never set to my bonus hero and I actually champed him a bit late because he's so-so. He's still old, though (the 3rd 4* in the game, and the first one that didn't suck at the time,) and is exactly 340.
I strongly suspect unless they decide to go really new (which they have in the past, but never less than around two months old,) it will be Fury instead of Captain Marvel. Talos is a good fit (though they probably won't do that for months after the Skrull's release if so,) War Machine is a strong connection but already taken, but theoretically any Avenger is close enough. Heck, at one point she was a Guardian of the Galaxy, but since that isn't an attribute on her character they probably won't go with that.
