New Season Pass- Silent downgrade in rewards

Last season pass, the cover that was in there was a 4* (Sam Wilson), but now the cover in the season pass is a 3* (Daredevil).

Unless they adjusted the other rewards, that's just a straight up downgrade, right? I'm open to being corrected if I missed something

    I noticed that immediately. The best thing I got out of last seasons pass was a bunch of the same 4star, pushing them towards ascension. He was a **** 4star, but at least the level rewards were nice.

    This was another unfortunate slap in the face when trying to get excited about the new season. The ascended 3 star is a good character though, eh?

    Strangely pointless season
    Least you can save yourself the agro of defeat so many with a **** character

    I'm pretty sure the ascended Luke Cage is a repeat too. Why do they keep giving us the same few characters in that slot?

    Maybe someone has recorded all the season passes but my recollection is something like:

    1st one - 11th Anniversary - lots of Headpool covers

    ? pass - lots of 3* Namor covers
    ? pass - lots of 2* Bob covers
    X of Swords - lots of 3* Gorgon covers
    Last season - lots of old stinky 4* Flaptain covers
    Now - lots of old stinky 3* DD covers

    So sure, it's a downgrade in a sense, but IIRC the pass has, before last season, not given out any 4* covers. Usually it's a bunch of covers for the new 2 or 3.

    Anyway, you might look at last season as a nice bonus up from the standard because there was a movie to celebrate. But while I liked the covers and rewards (mine is ascended) it's not like I'm any more likely to use Flaptain than any 3 that isn't Namor or iMay.

    Also....we have complained about the pass, and the vault, and how we used to clear the vault, etc etc and they....did nothing with the pass, but made the vault smaller. And again clearable - IF you spent some money.

    Look, it's fine to complain, but they run the game as they want.

    It's definitely not a repeat, because I've managed to pull every 3a4 from every one of these vaults except a duplicate 3a4 magik from the 80 item one and I don't have a 3a4 Luke cage yet

    Ok good! I wonder how I got him to 5* then -- they must've offered the "buy 500 covers of a 3*" pack for him.

    No sarcasm, thank you for reminding me that past times they have done 2s and 3s. I actually don't feel as bad now, haha.

    They just need to get rid of the Season Pass pretty much nobody likes it cause the rewards are ****. Go back to the full vaults with Costumes etc.

    All I want from this vault is the She Hulk Daredevil Costume

    Does it make him... stronger?

    @Daredevil217, I accidentally had this guy favorited when I did a 50 pull of LL this morning and got 3 covers worth of bonus shards :cry: So much silent rage.

    Oh you meant the Daredevil costume that appeared in the She-Hulk tv show. I read your sentence as "She Hulk has a Daredevil costume"

    I love that costume, but I also love the Vigilante costume he already has. Decisions.... Which one do I want to see two or three times a year?

    I know they said no reworks for the foreseeable future, but this would be such a great chance to do something with him. I don't even think he needs that much! Just change some numbers around!

    Am I halucinating or did they increase the premium price from 1000 to 1500 hp?

    It was 1000 only in the first Season!
    Afterwards... they increased the value...

    They could have put 4* Punisher or Kingpin in this season pass, so it does seem a little bit mean. I wonder if 4* Punisher is still the least used 4*?

    That's a tough one.....I might use him over Karolina, at least. And Gert. and some others.

    But he does have a lot of setup to use the right way and his green stuns his allies (with 10 AP) which in this era of passives is....yeah, pretty much a no-go.

    actually I may have talked myself out of ever using him again unless essential.

    I will do the same as last season by buying the season pass, playing all of the quests, and buying all of the HP-costed offers that award tokens. Given that I was only able to get 49/60 of the vault rewards last season, I no longer look forward to the new one and will just treat it like something I do in MPQ to get some random goodies.
