Mrcl25 said: So now they decide that only new 4*s will be feeders so no one will gets retroactive rewards? D3 never fails to disappoint us... I hope the player base reacts like last year, so they change this.

There are not that many compelling answers but I simply suggest one possible answer was they were held in reserve for what I suggest above. MPQ is quite easily capable of such forward thinking. Anyway, let us hope we get some info in the not too distant future. OK. Ignore the part about the assumption, I should've worded it differently. I think they're not happy with what they did with the 3*s either. I heard there have been some changes to the development team in the past year or so, so what was done before by the previous design team might not be happening again.

Vhailorx said: coming late to this thread, so apologies if the answer to my question is dicussed already.Is the reference to Shardmas 2.0 meant to be hopeful, or insulting? I mean, everyone remembers that the shardmas 1.0 was an absolute clustertinykitty, right? Maybe we should just ask for the feeder update and hope that everyone completely forgets about 2019.

Shardpocalypse was when they gave players the finger and the forums melted down, Shardmas was when they righted their wrongs and then everyone rejoiced and drank their favorite seasonal beverage. So I'm hoping that they will give feeders for the 5s that were released in the past year but then going forward have the new 4s feed the new 5s so we don't have to wait every December to get the next round of feeders.

If it is just RG and Scorpion, then they have taken the meanest path possible but hey ho.

san said: Sorry for more questions, but who do they feed? Does it make sense? I am guessing that there was no announcement in this case, which is not completely unusual for this game. I've been at it since 6 months after it launched, and this has been the case for the most part. I am very disappointed if this means no additional feeders.
HoundofShadow said: Every transaction consist of at least two parties. And most people are always putting their own interests first. This is probably why many problems remain unsolved. Do I love feeders? Yes. But, experiences tell me that something will be traded away. To players, double feeders are reasonable because it gives them a steady and faster route to champing 5*. If you put yourself in the shoe of the other party, in this case, the dev, it might not look as reasonable as you think. 5* are the end-game, the highest rarity of characters in this game. The dev paid big money to Marvel to get them into this game. In turn, those characters become an asset that helps the dev generate income for their companies. By now, the "side effects" in the past histories of changes/additions in MPQ should be pretty clear by now. If they end up giving double feeders to 5*, something that the players hate will happen: they will likely "take away" your precious CP and HP. If not, 6* will be coming your way. Either way, it's not going to be pretty.
Cannibalqueen said: I actually take this as good news. Probably means in the future, new 4*s that are thematically relevant will roll out day one as feeders. It’s a system that should have been in place for a long time. I don’t have my BRB or iHulk fully covered yet, wish I did, Getting to double dip on a second Shardmas would be great for me personally. But I’ll be really happy if this starts becoming a regular thing. I mean not every single new 4* needs to be a feeder, but when it makes sense and there’s a hole to fill.
