    @Daredevil217 / @DAZ0273 - grateful if we can keep on the topic of the discussion, rather than interpreting each other's responses.

    I really wish swearing was allowed on this platform.

    I just skipped about 5 pages of comments to get to the end and pose one question? Is this character even any good? I personally don’t think so. I’ll still champ her because I champ everybody, but I don’t see her being that good. That being said, I get the point of the discussion is having procedure established so we don’t get screwed in the future. Kind of already made that point about 100 comments ago though.

    There's zero chance this will be a "one-time" exception. The precedent has now been set.

    It hasn't though. Unless another Batch 1 4* non-feeder gets made into a feeder. But I thought Nico was the only one?

    I have no skin in the game. My Nico is small.

    The back peddle by the devs is hilarious. A blanket 12.5 covers is kinda sad. Reeks of amateur.

    No matter what side of the argument you're on, exploit early and exploit often. While people held back waiting to max/max ascend to maximize trickle rewards, I'm still so rich from their batch 1 blunder. And now they have a sweet vault to spend all that hp on.

    If we could hear if this is a one time thing, or for all of the non-feeder characters... that'd be great. I'm sure it's one time, but why not make it an actual new rule?

    It is really clear in the post at the start of this thread. "Please note this is only a one-time exception for those who have already ascended Nico Minoru. Going forward, the 7-day window will apply."

    Now whether you believe that they will make a u-turn on this is another matter, but I don't think they could have been any clearer about this being a one off.

    Is there a statement by devs given about a character is already a feeder now feeder changed and retro rewards are being given will still be treated the same way as non feeder four stars when ascended

    Like for example Chavez now feeds Jessica if Chavez 3 and 5 are released in the future and if Chavez was only ascended less than a week of announcement will she be treated the same way as for non feeder four star ascension

    Just assume no retro rewards in the future.

    Haha, no. The next time an ascendable 4* from any batch is made a feeder, devs will offer retro rewards -- probably through CS again.

    If they don't, a small group of loud, entitled players will review bomb the game and harass the devs personally until they cave and give retro rewards.

    And they will cave! So it's easier for everyone to just skip those extra steps, like they did with Nico.

    Ah, the famous, non-existant death threats again?

    You and I both know who those (few, specific) players are and what they'll do if they don't get their way.

    I'm not even mad about it -- it is what it is at this point. But if BCS is just going to cave anyway (and they are), why bother going through all the extra steps with them and generating all that negative PR? Just set the policy so you don't make that group angry in the first place.

    Well I'm hoping you're wrong about that. Still probably won't affect me either way, but there would be no conceivable reason for future exceptions.
