    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.

    @Jinx - raise a ticket with customer services and they can reinstate it for you.

    Is there any chance we could get a daily random boosted 4/5 character? It would make a big difference for me to be able to incentivize switching up teams throughout the week

    Since you guys aren't allowing saved covers for 1*s, could you give people a chance to swap excess colors for needed ones? I've got 2 IM35s with max yellow and 5 more on the vine, but not enough red and blue to ascend.

    I have millions of ISO purple and red, I will never be able to use all of it. I can’t convert it to CP or HP is there a way you can allow us to gift it to our alliance members instead. We can send team ups so why not a request ISO button

    OMG - Ha ha that would be amazing. It isn't going to happen but even so as somebody who is both iso starved and your team mate this is the best idea ever (that sadly has absolutely no chance of becoming reality)

    The Devs want you to purchase from the bank of Devs, not the bank of friendship. But maybe as a one off Christmas gift? :wink:

    They've answered this one repeatedly before -- allowing you to gift specific things (iso, covers, etc) to your alliance would quickly create an out of game real-money economy (ie pay me $100 via PayPal or Venmo and I'll join your alliance and gift you 500,000 iso or whatever). They don't want that, because it creates a ton of issues on their side.

    And understandably so.

    Question posted: Back in March, there was a blog post saying that existing Supports would be updated. Maybe to reflect the newer support breaks in ranks/max effects. Have any been updated? Are there plans to do so?

    A topic that was always present in this forum was dilution. Recently it was replaced by complaints about busted characters (I’m looking at you - old Chasm but also, not taking my eyes of MThor), however new dev team made the dilution problem way worse by introducing a 3* pretty much with every 5* addition. This obviously must be incredibly frustrating for newer players (for older players I guess it is just a minor annoyance).

    I’m guessing this was decided to force newer players to pay real money as they can’t keep up rostering. It’s understandable, we all know the game needs to make money.

    If so - would you consider creating more user friendly alternative to monetizing? Perhaps adding a paid battle pass that actually rewards players that decide to pay with progress tied to amount of games won or something like that. I know there’s VIP pass but let’s face it is is mediocre given how bloated the game is. Maybe a tiered pass where each tier gives you rewards from 1/2/3/4/5 stars with 1 star battle pass being free and 2/3/4/5 get progressively more expensive. Upon completion you’d get a massive reward - for example a fully covered character from its respective tier including a roster spot.

    What do you think of that idea?

    I think giving away free rosters slots without any RNG or HP involved is as likely as us being allowed to trade resources.

    Is it possible to rotate the opponent characters in DDQ? I swear we have to fight Nick Fury and Scarlet Witch 6 times a week.

    Personally I hate fighting 2 star storm because it seems every bit of damage triggers her passive which ends up doing hundreds if not thousands of damage to my team. It's WAY out of proportion to every other character in DDQ.

    How about choosing your boosted characters from a batch or perhaps another method of allowing a bit of “dealer’s choice” to boosted characters? This way we can setup some actual teamwork based on inherent synergies.

    There’s a fair number of folks out there that will take one look at the boosted lineup and say, “Whelp, looks like I’m sitting out this week.”

    Any thoughts to running Lightning Rounds seven days a week? Would be nice to have more chances to grab 1* tokens with Ascension here and there really is no reason to only have it three days a week.
