    Is there any update on potentially expanding either the max boost per round past 5 or the total boosts (for color damage) past 30? On a related note, has auto-replenish of boosts been discussed as well?

    Now that standard tokens have a lot more usefulness, would it be possible to make them the reward for beating nodes and bosses on Heroic Boss Events? The Boss Events are mostly devoid of tokens to begin with. This would incentivize playing the Heroic side a bit more

    In the past, there was some mention of auto-battles. I think in Shield Simulator is an excellent place to incorporate this. I am constantly up against 400k-600k HP teams; it can be incredibly time-consuming. I would pay to auto-battle as the mode of play. Something like 1000hp for 10 auto battle tokens, even if it is 50%win pct, I would buy it. Can this be considered in 2024?

    You’ve acknowledged the Iso-8 drought. But with the new Support system, I find myself also in a Red Iso drought: I’m gaining supports faster than I can level them. How are you planning to address either resource scarcity?

    The Roster "Ascend" filter shows which characters are currently maxed out, but I have no way of easily finding which ones already have duplicates, what level the duplicates are at, who I can actually Ascend right now, etc. I really need a new view that sorts all versions of the Ascendable characters together to make this easier, since I have dozens of characters at various stages of the process.

    Is it possible to shift offers back one hour (from 9am to 10am PST) so they don’t overlap with the start of PvE/PvP slices?

    Some of us played Midnight Suns as a male character (yeah, I'm a guy).

    Is there a chance to get a free 3+5 male Hunter costume so if we prefer Hunter to be male in MPQ, we can play that way too in this game?

    As a player of the game, its there anything that frustrates you about the experience and what is the thing you enjoy most?

    will we see unique 3's instead of a 3-star variant of a dual 3/5-star release?

    Now that the support shard rollout is complete what are the plans/timetable for bringing supports to PvP?

    Submitted via form but also posting here because I don't know what's going on lol. Plus I can make it longer here.

    Q: You guys mentioned adding in new milestones (eventually), especially ones related to ascending characters. Is it possible to make these retroactive? So they count ones made before the milestone comes out? I have friends that lost out on a LOT of the old milestones when they came out, such as iso-used and championing characters, because they had done a ton already.

    • Followup/related question, any news on new milestones such as if it's planned for 2024 or just an in-general plan?

    Now that the support shard system is here are you planning new ways to earn support tokens? I think I've gotten like 4 since the system went live. A couple through the puzzle gauntlet and a couple through random vaults.

    Larger touch targets please and fewer required clicks for boosts. Also larger back button in top left on all pages.

    Please make saved teams save characters AND the supports we want them to have equipped AND the boosts we want them to use. Thanks.

    EDIT: Was over the 250-character limit and added an additional request.

    Hi team! We all noticed that ascended 4 stars are capped when we encounter them. Is that a temporary thing, will it stick or will it be a combination of the two depending on the character?

    Can there please be someplace in the game to go to see what daily rewards are available and which characters allow you to qualify for each?

    What’s up with ascended 3-star Juggernaut red (headbutt) doing more damage to himself than the enemy at 5 covers? The 2-star Juggernaut only takes half damage at 5 covers.

    Would it be possible to have a message pop up if you are about to use an ascended character to level up a lower level character like it does when you are about to sell a 3* or higher? I purchased the vault with ascended Thor2>4 and was in the white tab that allows you to level up characters with both shards and covers and accidentally used the 4* version to level up my 2* one level. Didn’t even know that was possible. Basically got screwed out of 6k HP.
