    If they’re overhauling PVE, then I wish it was progression only so that I could try out fun new teams without being penalized for going slower. Plus, I don’t have to schedule my real life around a game!

    Even if they didn't want to go that far, at the very least it'd be nice if they could disconnect the need to do your timed clears to fit a particular schedule, one day where your scheduling was even slightly disrupted being able to basically disrupt another 3 days of perfect clears has always seemed like a disproportionate level of impact.

    Having more flexibility in how you were able to schedule your clears would also help them with that target of most mobile games too, that of "user engagement" since people could pop on and play far more often than their 20 mins or so either side of their events start/end time.

    The early ascendsrs got 4x the rewards they were supposed to. How could you argue that they would need further compensation? That's such a silly stance to have.

    In other news, ascended Kang is now working in pvp after latest data push.

    "Working" The ascended one is at base level 290 too.

    Edit to say never realized 3*s get a 146 level boost.

    The boost gets bigger the closer to the max champ level the character is. It will likely behave the same for the ascended Kang once he nears 370. The boost should push him too over 500 then.

    5⭐ 550's only get 117 level boost and I haven't paid attention to 3⭐ in a long time. I usually take the loaner in with me anyway. I've been selling the max champ as soon as I had a dupe to 166. I just so happened to have Psylocke ready.

    Seems like it’d be in the spirit of things for Ascended characters to always get at least the boost that the next star rank down does, even if they need a few more levels put on to go past it.

    The problem is that not all levels are equal. As I recall the level curve takes off exponentially around lvl 350 or so. So +50 levels from 250 to 300 is significantly less impactful than +50 levels from 450 to 500.

    This is why 5* powers/health at level 450 are about 4x their base strength at 255, while but 4* power/health at 270 is only about 2x the base value at level 70.

    Hey all,

    We've put in a temporary change that makes these rewards a batch of Iso for now, and we're planning on putting in a stronger fix with the next release. At that point, we'll run retro rewards and change them back to what they should be.

    Next release was available at google play. But after update, game still shows just iso for first levels on ascended characters. Does it mean we need to wait one more release to fix it? Or the problem with multiple rewards is fixed already and rewards will be changed with some data push?

    It's on ios too, and the ascended characters are gone from the "ready to level" filter in the roster.
    Thank you for that, that was really irritating.

    And the ascend filter is there too. Happy with that.

    Was Melinda May always able to be ascended or was she added with the latest patch? I didn’t think Melinda was included in the first batch, but she popped up in my Ascend filter this morning.

    Just went to check the original list and not on there.

    @YumeWarlock @MPQBlaine - are you able to confirm if new characters have been added or was Melinda just missed from the first list?

    Hey all,

    Just confirmed. She was originally intended to enter with Batch 2 (along with several of her other S.H.I.E.L.D. friends, but the cavalry charged forward a bit early. :D

    Thanks @YumeWarlock. Excited to hear that batch 2 is in the works. Any spoilers you could provide as to when Batch 2 is roughly set to drop? Days? Weeks? Months?

    Yes, I second that request. There’s a lot of planning ahead in this game

    Yeah I want HARD in the anniversary store and now have trips of some characters on my vine (Polaris, Grocket). I would love to add those covers to an ascended 5* rather than roster a third copy. First world problems I know, but still would be nice to know.

    I'm sure Grocket and Polaris will be a later batch

    Well she did mention “fellow agents of shield”. Wonder if we get the following…

    Agent Coulson
    Black Widow
    Blade (3-4)
    Captain America (2-4    )
    Deathlok
    Mockingbird
    Nick Fury
    Quake
    Maria Hill
    Human Torch (Jim Hammond)
    Taskmaster
    Silk
    Hit Monkey
    Hawkeye (1*)

    Tasky would be the first limited and Hawkeye the first two-power character.

    Only ones I’d be interested in are Coulson for the battery, Quake for damage negation and Deathlok for obvious reasons. None of my dupes are near max though.

    Both Blades could be interesting.

    Obviously 4* Carol, Riri and Peggy are studs from that golden era of 4* releases around vaulting that include Vulture and Gamora.

    Cloak and Dagger with the true heal/battery.

    I’m interested in seeing how 4* Panther, Shuri and Ronin scale.

    Miles for Webbed Tile play.

    MEHulk/Karnak are full rainbow… just saying. Probably not competitive, but fun!

    And I don’t have dupe max champs of any of them lol.

    Street Level gets us:
    4*
    Elektra
    Hobofist
    Kingpin
    Kraven
    Mockingbird
    Black Cat
    Punisher
    Misty
    Ronin
    Howard
    Hellcat
    Melinda May
    Echo
    Lizard
    Rhino
    Colleen Wing
    Mister Negative

    3*
    grey suit widow
    punisher
    iron fist
    bullseye
    hawkeye
    daredevil
    spider-gwen
    elektra

    2*
    bullseye
    Hawkeye
    Widow

    1*
    Hawkeye

    Some of those i think we already have, but that's an interesting assortment. The Avengers affiliation is quite large, with some top tier 4* characters in it. things could get interesting next batch for sure.
