    3k progression reward is IM40 blue YEEEESSSS

    (I've had this 5/4/3 IM40 forever)

    Other than that... competition should be much fiercer this time around, what with the 20k+ alliances.

    So much for a break in between seasons.

    Back to the grindfest! And with Psyduck giving out Ldaken...not looking forward to the bracket nonsense this is going to bring about.

    Money. That's all I can say. They could have given us a damn week to catch up on sleep, work, etc. They have become way too greedy for their own good.

    Good luck everyone. Here we go into another month long grind fest 2 seconds after the last one, lol

    Has anyone informed the devs that you NEVER EVER should go full ****....Half **** is fine, just never go full ****....


    If I offended anyone with my comment, I apologize, had to get my Tropic Thunder reference in...

    They only listen to metrics, apparently.
    Until a majority stops playing they'll keep considering seasons a success for all the player engagement, bracket changes a success for the rise in shield revenue, so on and so on.

    Repeating season 1 with pink instead of blue just seems like a recipe for stale bread. Alliances and seasons were good ideas and I liked them, but with the MMR/bracket changes I'm content to stay at one Fury cover.

    Personally I'm fine with it. I wasn't gonna take a break anyways as I would still have to play for standard PVP event alliance rewards.

    The only way I would take a break would be if both season and standard PVP event alliance rewards stopped.

    Tl;dr Daken > Nick Fury for me.

    They're interested in maximizing their revenue. Have any of you been part of a company before? This is just par for the course.

    Yrah...agreed. but, us faithful will probably keep pushing for ourselves, or alliances...then D3 will throw in a few more ninja-nerfs, then people will start giving up.....people leaving alliances...and then once it's over, s3.

    By that point, I can see a good many of us giving up for at least a while.

    I think I might have worked out why it seems like the devs don't read the forums - They just don't understand sarcasm! All the posts I'm seeing littered over the forum saying "Season 2, YAY!", maybe they're taking them seriously?

    I've owned a company for ten years. Even a radio station at one point. So yes, I understand about revenue and methods to get it.

    But this is not smart for long term customer retention. Better to give customers a taste, and make them want more of it, than to force feed them.

    Eventually, they'll get sick of what your feeding them due to being burnt out on it. When that happens, all bets are off.

    Pretty stupid of them to just start Season 2 right after Season 1

    I'm trying to tell myself to not try this time. I burnt hp to get rewards I didn't even use right and left. There were maybe 4 tournements.I had any business competing in the last season (which was less than 20 min ago....) And I built a xforce up to 3/2/3 from tournement rewards. So useless.

    Plus, I have a feeling they are.going for the whole "never give his cover, BUY MEBUY ME! premium content crud with fury now. HHe won't be "finished" being released until late July.....are you kidding me? Finally have a useful 4****...and it will take 3months to earn him. Oooookkay. Fury is only.for ppl willing to drop 400k iso and 25khp on a single.cover that may or may not be good. Ooookkay. Sigh. I still want him, I just feel my alliance is so beat up from.this last one that we would be lucky to top 200 by the end.

    Also, they.need.to.increase reward ranges as more alliances are made. There are now 20k+ alliances and still only 100 uselful reward spots.
