    Anyone noticed they're giving two 3* star covers in progression rewards for pvp now?
    The second cover is for lower CL, they give put a 3* at 900 instead of a 4*

    Um, what are you seeing?  Everything looks the same to me.

    I think he's talking about the progression rewards list in the first post. And as CT1888 said, the list on the post mentions 2 covers because lower SCLs have a 3* cover for the 900 pts reward.
    Oh, yeah. Nothing new there.

    Not that it isn’t high time for some reward revamps....

    It's never a bad idea to keep a base of 250 CP for scenarios such as this. Just my two cents.

    I personally don’t keep my CP for very long as I am still building my roster and that is 10+ covers with possible 5* opportunities. When I get a bit further into my roster build I might consider hoarding CP.

    If u mean building 5* variety I feel that is a waste. It's like an aerosol random approach vs pinpoint and wanted 5* covers. I'm a saver, wish I saved early enough though to buy OML.

    I like to have at least one cover for every 5. This way I can participate in all essential nodes. Until I had reached that point and covered all my 4s I pulled classics too. It all depends on where your roster is and what your focus is.

    But I gotta scratch that itch man. If I see more than 20 cp I go crazy. A resource not being used makes my eyes twitch for some reason. Lol.

    HFH did make me very happy. I dropped that 250 CP and have no regrets. On my way to champing my first set of 5 stars. Okoye, Thor, Kitty, OML, Gambit, Cable, Loki, and Thanos. I just need one more Thanos cover and about 500,000 iso.

    Ronin being required in Shield Training is hot garbage.  Everyone involved in the process knows that people have been complaining about the dilution, and the accelerated release schedule.  And now this.  This is entirely unacceptable.

    Yeah, so Ronin is essential for the next Shield Training..? There was a message back when Magik was required that it was an 'oversight' that a character that was only in rewards once before being featured in ST. Any questions on this subject when it happened again when 4* Thanos was essential were pretty much ignored or 'overlooked', but now this makes 3 in a row.

    I guess this confirms that the oversight was not having new characters as essentials, but that the oversight was this new set-up was not announced. Communication is hard, right? Makes me a very sad panda...

    I know it's just 1 free cover that is getting harder to get and we as players are not entitled to these things, but this is one of those changes that we could have REALLY done without in my opinion. Ugh... I was already kinda expecting this, but still a bummer...  :/
    Agreed, I really don't love the frequency with which newer chars like Ronin are in SHIELD Training.

    I already had Ronin at 209, just made it... I’m more annoyed at having to drop 100k ISO into Fisk. Going to do it though, just in case the next 4 is amazing.

    Well, about that...


    I expected Sabertooth to be the E4 for this one. When Magik popped up in placement I thought maybe we'd dodged a bullet. But nope.

    It seems we had a fairly steady cadence of these things falling on more mature 4s up until the point where the normal rotation was broken for an extra-long string of vintage 4s. Since then, we're stuck on a more, shall we say, aggressive setup.

    Another bogus shield training...... I think I'm starting to feel the burn now.....

    Seeing Ronin as an ST essential is annoying and frustrating (not as much personally as to the playerbase at large).  But that's also kind of expected at this point....

    Question:

    Infinite Pursuit - 3 Day Duration (6/20/19) *New Update*

    Does anyone remember if any of the 4 subs in the first run were especially annoying or hard?  I'm curious which one might get skipped coming up.

    4E with Symbiote feeding Venom and Carnage. Irritating enough?  :D
