To assist with the distribution of this sudden character windfall, we’ll be giving away a copy of this bonus character, pro bono. 

What does this mean exactly? You're giving us an extra 1k HP to go with the character? Or an extra roster slot for everyone?

Or are you guys just throwing a few extra covers at us and saying it's a "free" character? Because if it's just covers, then saying you're "giving it away for free" seems a little duplicitous, no? Like I understand that most of the MPQ forum users are likely 5+ year players who are already post-HP, but the vast majority of players are not yet Post-HP. Sudden extra characters, and the trend of knowing there are new 3-stars coming in addition to 4's and 5's is a bit concerning.

I'd kill to have my roster slots only cost 1K HP again. No, once you're past 300, each slot is 2K a pop. 

It's not really all that hard to get at least one cover for a new 4*, so forgive me if some "free" cover(s) isn't exactly doing much for me. If you're handing out a free roster slot to roster said "free" bonus character, that's a different story. 

But I see this and all I can really think is, "Great, gonna have to cough up an extra 2K HP now."

Thanks for the heads up!!!  I look forward to the new characters.  I hope I have enough HP to roster 2 4* so quickly.

oh wait I have 84395 HP.  I’m good

Pretty sure not everyone is so flush.

The benifit of playing since close to launch.

We need more 4s released than 5s to catch up on feeders so I think this is a good thing.

I personally think that if you are hurting so much for HP then you just aren't in a spot in the game yet where you need every 4 rostered, which is fine. I didn't get all the 4s rostered until like a year ago, but keeping up on HP since has been quite easy without needing to grind events.

That was before characters came out weekly (maybe) with tandem 3/5 releases in addition though?

If the bonus character feeds a 5 star, awesome, if not, oh joy more dilution haha

This thread is wild. Can't believe all the complaints about getting a free new 4*. Good God.

Also, I'm guessing the 4* coming Monday and the bonus one will be a she Hulk tie in. It's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Must be your first time in the forum, welcome . Get used to it if you stay .

So your solution to the increased roster slot pressure from an added character per month from September is... To start the 3 chars / month in August.
Makes sense.

For players past 300 slots, where y’all spending your HPs?

For me boosts, shields and health packs in pvp.

Character slots, boosts, pvp shields, shards and vaults that have 5* shards in them that I need and I'll spend a little on the Anniversary vault if it's decent.

They previously announced that every new character would be a feeder from now on.

May as well have gone all in with an extra 5*.

HoundofShadow

I spend on slots, ap boosts, pvp shields (150-300hp and up to 1050hp for T5/10 placements) and healthpacks. The reason why I spend on healthpacks sometimes, mostly in shield sim, is due to inspiration for new teams. I can't afford to lose that fire due to rng from pulling healthpacks.

And every 4* will be a feeder, even if it doesn't make sense thematically.

I'm honestly amazed at new devs ideas.
According to Q&A, they designed: hulking (great character), Gorr(my usually main PvE third wheel), new 4* character (powers which can disable abilities), KK (really fun character who can allow fast winfinite), MThor ( not needed words here), and chasm(a character with huge potential).
And as a bonus, extra 4* characters.
It's hard to believe the amount of fresh ideas they have and how hard they are working on the game even when we are not still on September.
Now I'd want to say on this very thread that the best thing it could happen to MPQ is Broken Circle Studio taking  charge of.

I’m not over 300 slots yet, but I’m pretty close.

 I’m usually around 1k-3k hp so I can always buy a roster slot.
Most of my hp goes to slots -> 5* hp store daily deals -> shards -> some vaults.

Once we are getting 3 characters a month there will probably be no chance I’ll dip into vaults with hp.

This might sound crazy but I would like to see a free roster slot added as a reward somehow or daily resupply.

Well said! My sentiments exactly. Looking forward to more 5* feeders ( I selfishly want Deadpool and Ronan) so looking forward to an extra 4. And Broken Circle has made the game feel fresh again.

It is not insane but sadly very unlikely.
