TranscendGod said: I'd like to know about the PvP experience for 5* players, especially if you have high level 5* champs (500+ or 550s). How is the initial climb? How do things change when you get high enough to queue more people? How often do you queue non-meta teams (excluding grills)? How often do you get hit? How does the experience change in a 3* featured event vs a 4* featured event? How about events where you can use choose all 3 characters (I know that simulator is filled with gritty/bishop for lower level 5* players past a certain point, is the same true for high level 5* players)?I'm trying to decide whether it would be more fun to have a few high level 5s or many low level 5s. Thanks for your time!

JackDeath666 said: 2 ill-informed comments... 1) After all this time whatever you do don't rush into a decision.2) Paradoxically, don't horde until this game is shut down and miss out. 1 year? 2 years? 5 years? Who knows?
Vhailorx said: _vitto, surely you agree that having 550 JJ, DD, and BB would be worlds away from having 520+ thorkoye + kitty.So which characters you get to very high champ levels seems every bit as important as getting to high levels.If TC has a mixed hoard of LTs and CP it will be hard to get a threesome of meta characters to 500+. At best to has to wait until rescue leaves tokens, and hope that the next two releases are beats because storm is not meta.So even for a putative contender, just chasing levels, or even chasing levels on "good-but-not-meta" characters seems like a mistake.
AXP_isme said: Then again, the next meta-defining character is always just around the corner. Unless you really get a kick out of the endless anticipation then all those saved tokens aren’t providing any benefit. Why not crack the hoard? It’s a bit like having a few cases of really good wine in the cellar. You may never find an objectively best point in time at which to crack it open. You have to decide how you’re going to get the most out of the asset. If you leave it indefinitely then it’ll spoil. If you only dip in every 5 years you’ll probably miss the sweet spot and it’ll all be on a downward trajectory by the time you decide it’s ready to drink. At some point you may as well take the plunge and stop worrying about what ifs. It’s only a game, after all. side note: I love it when people write horde instead, the mental image always makes me smile.

This is the longest period without a new potential meta change we have had in 2 years.Previous to that, Okoye was May 2018, Thor November 2017 and Gambit October 2017 so we have gone from a pattern of two strong/meta 5* per year to none in 2019. I think this period of releasing less impressive 5*s might be related to the fact that the previous Lead Designer has left Demiurge. There might be a change in direction in terms of character developments and other stuff.
