    It does feel like an improvement, but yes more work is needed. This is not really an easy task, so we need to accept the need for many iteration attempts.

    Outside of the fact that there's nothing we can do about it...why?

    I personally don't know what the best workflow for displaying Ascension. so I don't really think they'll be able to craft a great solution in one shot. Already you can see the break between the current UI and the old method where you had to go to each character and level 1-1. Like they had to cobble screens from the before champ days into the UI.

    Its better, but its not as simple or as accessible as the info should be.

    Potential issue in R288 - I have two Lvl 40 1* Hawkeyes, both are max level & 5/5. I can't seem to Ascend them.

    Only 1* Iron Man, Spider-Man and Storm were in the first group of characters who are ascendable now. It wasn't said yet when second group will be added nor which characters will be in this second group.

    I must have missed that - so the three 3-Power 1-Stars can be ascended, but the 2-Power ones can not, at this time. Threw me off when I was reading what level they needed to be, and they mentioned Level 40 for 2-Power 1-Star characters.

    I personally do not like this new systems
    Convoluted and buggy

    It really seems like a raw deal to ascend a 4* at the 4:1 conversion ratio. I’m curious if the internal calculations on those rewards say otherwise.

    I think it will come only when the rewards thing is fixed.

    Which hopefully shouldn't take them weeks, but who knows.

    I doubt we will be able to ascend the remaining one stars until they have a third power.

    They have to fix rewards and manually send them, add a third power to 1* and fix it, and make the ascended scheme and probably nerf for chavez polaris or grocket.
    I wouldn't like to be in their shoes right now.

    They already nerfed the 3-star health so they're in the process. Plus one screenshot has 1-Star BW with a third yellow power, so that should happen soon too

    Yeah I would hope that they have a rollout Plan for this feature - which they coded themselves, of their own free will - ready.
    This got interrupted by the rewards bugs, but nerfing problematic 3s and 4s, and the balancing of health levels should have been accounted for in the plan, these are not "oops, extra work!" Things that they discovered after rollout.

    I know you're not new, so...

    Bow, WHAT...DID...YOU...TAKE?

    I mean the plan can't have been "rollout 5/9786 4s and see what happens next"...

    Oh dear

    Testing: Is Ronin supposed to do 467,000 per hit?
    Devs: Wait...we have a Ronin?
    Testing: Hawkeye dude.
    Devs: Ooops...
    Testing: Also I was meaning to talk to you about 3* Dr. Strange - ever since we ascended him he seems to now actually be capable to time travel. He reverted himself back to last Wednesday.
    Devs: Oh no that's intended or was that supposed to be Kang?

    Yes. It's why the Avengers only win if Clint is with them.

    Questions to the hive mind -

    Is anyone tracking the ascendant 1* character for purchase offers someplace? I suspect when "this character at this level of ascension" nodes finally drop, it'll be tied to the $$ deals.

    How high have we raised one of the lazy 3s that has a 5 match? I'm quite curious if 3* Kang or Omega Red will be "better" at 450 than their natural born dopplegangers. I've chosen to park my 3* on Omega Red I guess for the rest of my life so I can find out, but if anyone is further along that journey I'd be curious to hear it.

    I have given up trying to correctly farm because of this 2.0 mess and am only ascending 1 stars to two stars for the rewards currently. I can currently ascend 17 characters…but after doing a few on that first day…I’m just not into it and kind of wish I had not done them. Thinking I will wait to see who will be heavy hitters when ascended. Until that gets sorted out and the myriad of other problems…I’m just going to stick to what I know. Fortune favors the bold and all of that, so more power to the early adopters.
