    Sadly, I haven’t seen any mention of a ROSTER SLOT SALE during this anniversary. This is long overdue.
    When was the last time we had one of those?
    ~March ‘19 I believe?

    I must comment that I am disappointed. I saved 7500 CPs (in 1 year) and I was not expecting that vault. I was hoping to strengthen my rooster.
    I used to support developers by buying coin packs as some of you know; Gold must be invested to earn all CPs in PVP. Now I will think about it a lot before making a next purchase; Well, why so much work in savings if in the vault where 3 target characters should be, these are not.

    Roster slot sale doesn't occur during anniversary. It happened during somewhere in the first quarter of the year. They'll probably have 30% Bonus Hero Point for purchase or 100% for Logan's Lonnies instead.

    It feels like we haven't had one in years. I certainly don't remember one this year and I've been waiting on one.

    I don't really follow what you're saying. Are you saying you won't support the game because of the fan favorites vault (that was voted for by fans)? Or are you saying you're disappointed because they aren't having a sale (yet)?

    That seems.... Strange?

    I’m also confused . I thought the purpose of the dev’s reward system was that people would use those rewards to improve characters , not to hoard them. I would think this practice would undermine the integrity of the game if players only used them once or twice a year . Speaking for only myself , I think I’d have a pretty sad life if I only opened my purse or went shopping once a year , and then didn’t spend anything because the one item I was looking forward to buying all year wasn’t in stock . ( Just my own way of thinking , this is not an analogy to anyone else ).

    The probability of the dev putting 3 characters that you want is 1 in 185, 136. So, you are disappointed that this is a store voted by the majority of the playerbase. You should target your disappointment at them, not the dev.  >:)

    Threatening to stop spending is about as common as threatening to quit, with the added bonus that often the player never spent anything to begin with.

    It's just another way to say "I'm mad about this but not mad enough to walk away." (Which is also what threatening to quit says, generally)

    And it will have the same effect on devs that all the others threats types.

    I’d like to know what 3 he wanted. If I was the devs I’d put okoye in the next launch vault of the new 5*. Then people have to think if they go Shang ultron new 5 or fatten the okoye.

    He saved one year of cp resources, beginning from October 2020. Back then, the meta consisted of Apocalypse, Okoye, Kitty, BRB, iHulk and maybe Thor. I assume he's already covered Apocalypse and Kitty because he's still disappointed. So, he probably wants Okoye, BRB + Thor/IHulk. However, with the hot trio of Wanda, Colossus and Shang Chi, he probably changed his mind and his trio probably changed a little.

    The only type of players who save up cps is those who visits the forum and listens to advice about getting meta characters. Your casual players spend all their cps as they get them.

    I would like to know his ideal fan favourite and I hope his choices surprise me.

    Not true, there were one or two stores that everyone went crazy for I believe.

    Edit: His expectations of a banging vault weren't realistic. However, I think everyone is being way harsh. CP is the single hardest resource to get alot of in a quantity sufficient to pull for high level great 5*s. You want to place high in pve or have an easier PvP experience, you need the top 5*s. It's that simple. The yellowjackets, rescues, lokis, starlords, kingpins & etc. are interesting to use but that's it...interesting.

    This forum is way judgmental on players who hoard waiting for top tier characters. Why does that offend people so much? To each their own. Misseyedoctorwife, sorry you are confused. There is always different ways to spend resources (lol @  undermine integrity 😆).

    That is half right.
    The only type of players who save up cps are those who learn how pvp works, possibly because of visiting the forums.
    I saw RacsO2 today and he is already  at almost 1200 points.
    He has 3 5* meta characters, right at lev 450.
    So congratulations RacO2.

    I mean, this is a Fan Favourite store, voted by the playerbase. This is not <insert your IGN> Favourite store. He's unlikely to spend money on the game anymore because the playerbase doesn't give him what he wants. That's an ambitious goal. 

    At least we don't have OML, Dr Strange and Kitty again in this store.   :D

    People were pretty excited about the Kitty/BRB and came around on the Colossus/Switch stores. The thirds were mid-pack on both of those though I cannot remember who was offered with Kitty/BRB. Apocalypse/Kitty is pretty awesome though Kitty is probably on the lower end of the current meta, especially if you’re a 5* player.

    Trying to remember who the 3 was in the store I blew like 5000 CP on. I know okoye was one. 😁 But pretty sure the other two were good also.

    After I unhoarded my MPQ experience was much better in both PvP & pve.

    I was really pleased the store was of no interest to me as it meant an easy decision to unload on latest to get shang-chi. Only up to 1/4/4 covers but the game is back to being a fun challenge of match 3 skill instead of just watching the passive powers dominate every fight. 

    Boosted in pve at the moment is insane, with 10 combo points and a crit able to dish out 200k damage

    These days the forum is just way more intolerant of the kind of whining we've all accepted for years.  As a frequent whiner myself, it's been a bit of a culture shock, but I think it's probably a good thing overall.

    Being the big majority of players in 4* land is just natural that the fan store features characters not appealing for 5* players.
    Interesting that thing of the culture shock.
    In another thread it was mentioned players softcapping 5*s, and for that reason I said I saw that player achieving 1200 points with just 3 5*s champed.
    Because he is brave enough for to be saving cps in each pvp and surely all pves, and when he unloads his hoard like acescracked did he will achieve a big progress.
    Anyone can be a 5* player and perhaps it could be benefitial for us 5* players to teach 4* players how.

    There's two sides to every coin. Given that those who hoard for meta characters is also pretty harsh on most non-meta characters, I think it's pretty fair. :D  The probability of releasing meta characters is 16.7%. Those interested in non-meta or fun mechanics get rained down on more frequently than those chasing meta characters. 

    Anyway, we have two more 5* characters left for this year. I'm waiting for my web tiles or airborne meta.  B)
