I definitely agree the 4* tier is over - my feeling is not that I actually want, well, any more 4*s to have to roster, but they serve as a buffer to 5* acquisition. By spacing out the 5* releases it gives you a window of time where it's realistic to chase them in latest to champion. that 4*s are coming out in between is, to me, the necessary evil that facilitates that capability. This new development is coming with no updates on how or even if post-carbage 5*s are going to be assigned to feeders. So we have an apparent acceleration in release rate on 5s, radio silence on how they might be fed, and a general reduction to cp/hp/iso8 rewards all over the place. Fearmongering or not, it paints a picture.

It's not really something that is written in stone and I believe a lot of it depends on the character they are developing for the game. It may be that the way they designed them makes it more appropriate that they be placed in the 5 star tier instead of 4. Either way, I'll get them when I can. What bothers me is the lack of alliance event for the 5 stars and no mention of shield training for the new 4 star. There are members of my alliance that depend on those 4 star rewards during the alliance event since the pool is so large now. Also on a personal level... I've worked my butt off to get the new 4 stars covered enough for a shield training.... I WANT IT!! (lol, I'm nuts, I know.)

bluewolf said: A note re: actual event scheduling....Here in the States we have Spring Forward this weekend. An alliance/boss event is fantastic when those time changes happen because you're not trying to plan around a time change and your locked-in time which doesn't get shifted so you need to do it "an hour earlier".But instead of an alliance event, or even a merciful 48 hour sub that runs Sat - Monday, we get a normal old PVE. Strange Sights, in fact.Feeling burned out yet.......?

DAZ0273 said: Agreed on all of the above. It is actually impossible for me to participate in the 9am refresh on a Friday as I don't play on a phone (or at work).However when it was run that time on the Monday through Thursday for Battle at the Basilica I couldn't even make personal progression because I missed I think like 4 clears due to the awful time for the UK. So purely selfish reasons how it is is better than a Monday start up.
