Just an observation, might mean nothing more than an development oversight, but the inbox filter hasn't been updated to include 6-stars despite the fact that the roster filter has already been updated to include them. Does this mean there won't be covers for 6-stars?

That would be interesting, but seems sort of unlikely to me.

It sure would be nice to get some actual information about their plans that wasn't written by some stupid AI.

The picture of Galactus shown has a comic book cover on it, so unless that is just there for a laugh I assume we are getting covers.

Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll be available at a price in the range of buying a near mint copy of his first appearance.

A quick search found a 9.4 grade one for $32,000! Now is that per cover or for a whole set?

I don't see those quests on mine. Must not be hitting everyone yet.

We'll all say it's crazy (because it objectively is) then somebody will pay it and become unbeatable, and then suddenly he'll magically be everywhere and all the revenue problems will be solved.

Hopefully we will get some information today , the fact it’s taken so long I’m hoping for a really enjoyable anniversary season 🙂

Hmm, it's unclear if Galactus is going to be released instead of the next 5★ or the next 4★ -- they said in general they're going to replace the 4★ releases but also said that they intend to release the first three once a month, then slow down.

I tend to think substituting the 4★ is a bit more likely, this means his actual release will be three weeks off. We may not hear anything for some time.

They were there really late last night/early this morning, and I even was halfway through the Beta Ray Bill quest but the whole thing has disappeared now for me. I'm guessing they set it out too early.

DAZ0273

I don't have any quests.

ThaRoadWarrior

My quests are also gone

That makes sense.

Kross

No Galactus or quests for me either yet.

Apropos of nothing but I don’t expect Deadliest Woman will 1-shot galactus. I’m pretty sure it just does a buttload of damage under the hood to kill the target, so if that is throttled down to 32k or whatever it would I imagine just do that amount

I hope you're right, but doesn't Deadliest Woman down targets in Support Gauntlet even if they can only take damage from specific conditions?

I know it did at one point, so it makes me think even if it's just a lot of damage it is coded to bypass reduction.

glad i completed those quests fast.

For something that is meant to be the next big feature, I really thought we would have more details about it by now

I’m doing quite well on getting shards thing I’m up to 200 now but still no idea how we get to see it

Would also like to know more about the new SCL , I expect I’ll be in the top tier but no idea without communication

Hammer3001

Given the pace of shard release and cost of I’m guessing (because I’m not paying for them) $100+ for (guessing again here) 100 shards, I’m going to ask how long will it take to get 13 covers to Champion Galactus.

Is that even the same as other levels?

Do we need 13 covers to champion him?

Once you get 600 shards, can he be played in PVP & PVE?

I’m going to say that unless the new levels 9 & 10, give at least 100 shards per event; they will have put feeders in when only a handful of people have a remotely useful Galactus after 3-6 months.

Read_Only

It's a marathon not a sprint. They added ascension as the end game chase and then completely destroyed the economy allowing people to have zero HP worries and blast 2, 3 and 4 stars straight to 550.

It was a good idea poorly followed through. If it takes someone 2 years to get 13 covers on one of these without spending big, good. I don't even care if they are as hard to win as stones until the game shakes out with 20 or so of them. It was years before I fully covered a 5*, so not sure why we would expect any different with these.
