    A not small part of me wants someone on the Dev team to pop in with a really late April Fools post...

    Your memory is wrong, then.

    Probably. I only remember 200 updates appearing on tuesday in 8 hours more or less, for android.

    Up until Broken Circle took over the updates were almost always Tuesday. After that... honestly they seemed to be all over the place? Sometimes Saturday, sometimes Wednesday? I know I've seen updates over the weekend, which surprised me, but they've also been pretty late in the week too.

    I'm not sweating it, as soon as it goes live I can get my 2* (1) Spiderman, but that's probably about it for a while.

    Store updates are Monday, like clockwork.
    Always.

    Covers Needed per Character to Reach Level 550:

    Tier Max & Min 2 Max Diff
    5★ 113 113 0
    4★ 526 526 0
    3★ 952 1,152 200
    2★ 1,404 1,804 400
    1★ (3 Powers) 1,508 1,908 400
    1★ (2 Powers) 1,460 1,860 400

    From my stats I am able to build and sell full 2* in cca 50 days. It is 63 covers. So to get 1800 it is roughly 29 times more, it is 1450 days. So in less than 4 years I could possibly have all 2* ascended to lvl 550.

    For 3* it takes me around a year to max another copy of one character. Its 113 covers. 952 needed are more then 8 times more, so it should be more than 8 years to get to lvl 550. It can be "just" 6 years for older 3* as I hold 2 max champed copies of each one already. But as they started to produce new 3* recently, it can be even longer, as the same rewards will be divided between more characters.

    When I look at 4*, I see 3-5 years passed between champing 1st a 2nd copy for most of the older ones. It seems, that 526 covers will be for me something like 12-20 years.

    It is just counted from current income of covers, math and statistics. I don't suppose to play another 20 years to verify my math for 4* ;)

    I'm mostly T20 personal CL10 PVE, T10 alliance PVE, T25 CL10 personal PVP (not going for 1200 points or 50 wins, mostly just 1000 points or 25 wins), T25 alliance PVP. So, if you play better than me or use money on the game, you can be faster. I think, most players will have even slower income of covers due to worse placement.

    I never even notice when the MPQ app updates now...I can't remember a recent version release that's had anything I cared about in it. I just have the app on auto-update and it does its thing whenever.

    What about number of covers to get to 450? not everyone has 550's (I don't) how many covers does it take to get a 1,2,3, star to 5 star level at 450.

    I have 5 fully maxed 3s Ironman dupes on my roster, none of my 5's are above 470, how many do I need to use to get him to be a 5 star?

    I also miss the times when there would have been posts saying that "the players" are at fault that the update is delayed, because we "forced" the devs to roll this out before it was ready.
    Actually, no, I don't miss those times.
    It's nice to actually be a bit critical without being called heartless, cruel and greedy for it.

    Hmm .. 4 covers per 5* level, so 400 covers less to get to 450 vs 550

    You can use 4 of those to ascend 2 of them to 4*. At that point you will have a pair of 4* Iron Man's at Level 303 (your 100 extra levels on your max champ translates into 33 covers).

    To ascend one of those 4 to 5* you need to get from L303 to L370 which is 67 levels at 3 covers per level which is 201 more covers.

    At that point you'll ascend the 370 Iron man with the 303 Iron man and get a L458 5* Iron Man (your 303 has 33 extra covers which translates into 33/4=8.25 levels on the 5*).

    So 201 more covers.

    So there is another one who remembers updates use to appear on Tuesday. Is his memory working wrong too, mr @Bowgentle ? Or is it just mine?
    Yeah sometimes has appeared wednesday but the usual time it appears on android (I can only talk what I play) is from now until 2 hours, Tuesday.

    I’m getting lost in the thread. Have the devs addressed how favorites work for ascended characters?

    R286 is dated september 12th (a tuesday) in the Apple appstore, and I had the forced update one day later. My 'usual experience' is that an update comes out on a monday So my guess is that updates can come anywhere from monday onwards by 24-48 hours. (And I think it's happened once that an update came out in a thursday, but that could have been a forced one and I was just late.)

    Yeah on playstore it can be seen when it was your last actualization.
    And mine was Sep 7th. Tuesday!
    It's nuts isn't it?

    There may be a simple answer to this - the Devs are on Mysterious land near Pacific time so possibly they do submit it on a Monday but that translates into a Tuesday in sensible time zone Britannia and mates?

    OK I have no idea.

    For a new player starting from scratch, you just subtract 400 covers from the earlier numbers for 4★ characters and below:
    5★: 13 covers
    4★: 126 covers
    3★: 552 covers
    2★: 1,004 covers
    1★ (3 Powers): 1,108 covers
    1★ (2 Powers): 1,060 covers

    Just wait until you've loaded up your seed teams in the Lightning Round that starts in a bit, that'll be the time the update comes out... ;)
