    So his purple power gets weaker the higher you level?

    At level 700

    3 - 3 turn repeater that does 61k damage
    4 - 2 turn repeater that does 25k damage
    5 - 1 turn repeater that does 8k damage

    So using lowest common factor of 6 turns, having his purple at 3 will do 122k damage, at 4 will do 75k damage, and at 5 will do 48k damage. What am I missing?

    i think the idea is to get 4 chances to get a cosmic purple to gain more ap and fire it more often, thus spamming the board with cosmic tiles (as opposed to charged where it benefits both parties).

    Great so I have shards for this lovely shiny new 6* character but there is nowhere to view him except clicking on the image and it tells me how many shards I have

    I hope we will be getting more info today

    Also... it seems that we will have 6* Supports

    Oh good, I'm running out of supports that need to be brought to 5 star.

    Thank goodness for you.

    Eh, I think someone was told to add 6* to dropdowns. No one bothered confirming which or all dropdowns.

    Still wandering how many shards per 6* cover. W/o that basic bit of info, it's impossible to value any of this stuff.

    It's 600. If you click on Galactus at the top of the main screen it'll show you.

    Everyone talking about 6* supports but it would be a perk they’d add to all supports. No support has had a rank. They are all the same - a potential to be from 1-5. Sometimes you don’t have one and pull a 5 immediately.

    Anyway they’d be adding a potential rank 6 to 72 supports and this seems completely impossible to imagine happening right now. For me, anyway.

    Great something updated, and it's nice that a pattern continued. Also confirms how vastly overpriced these initial offers are, but they should start conservatively.

    Just got a $49 offer pop up that gives 100 shards of Galactus + 4 star Refreshment Cart support + 4 shards for Refreshment cart along with some ISO and other stuff.

    So there's the baseline cost. 50 bucks for 100 shards which works out to $300 for 1 cover based on 600 shards per cover. Let the Whale sightings begin as it's been a while since we've had confirmed sightings :)

    KGB

    Well, whether you do or not, the game values those other bits. $50/ 100 shards won't be the rule.

    Consider the first step in this chain .... by the standard of usual game offers, this is a reat deal on several classics and a unusually large pile of ally CP, along with 25 G-shards for free, wheeeeee..

    Yep. The first offer was thrown off by that support, which is something they always charge a ton for. We don't have enough evidence yet to figure out how much 6* shards "cost."

    This is a chain offer, does anyone know how many shards total you get if you buy all 3? I’m guessing 175. If that is the case, then by my count there are 575 shards available counting all offers, vaults, and quests that could be acquired at this moment. Can anyone confirm if this is the case?

    Cool, $150 for 200 shards.

    Not worth it

    That's mighty steep. I'll do any challenges for shards they throw our way, but, I prefer to take a leisurely stroll up that mountain than run it.

    It really bothers me... the fact that not only we have bad communication, that also all it's scattered between this forum and discord...

    What should we really track/follow?

    This is correct. This information which is official communication about the game is posted in one place but should be duplicated on other social media places.

    It’s unfortunate but well established that they are not good at repeating info in multiple places. Often on discord they mostly post a link to the forum.

    There’s a channel on discord with multiple bundle chains so players can see what to expect (they all follow one of a few patterns) so the Gman chain was put there.

    If you as a player feel like you want to be on the cutting edge of info you need to be in multiple social media places. That’s just a fact. But most of the time someone from Discord will post relevant info here. It may be annoying and you may think that they should be better at this but communication with MPQ isn’t anyone’s full time job there.

    I’m not aware of an instance where some critical info was only put there and not eventually posted here by someone.

    Introducing a new tier and locking acquisition of the only 6* behind purchases isn't a good look.

    I've tried to be positive as much as I can over the last few months, but this is ridiculous.

    Yes you can get 75 shards through the currently available quests but you can double that currently by spending money.

    I don't like it. Maybe there's more to come but it's so super secret they can't tell us but that doesn't tiny kitty matter. Lack of communication speaks volumes.

    And when you promise exciting new ways to collect exciting new characters... Only to deliver special offers that provide more shards than you can earn without spending it says all the wrong things.

    Offers are fine but there should be at least equal chance to earn through play.

    Anyway...I'm not mad, just disappointed even though I saw it coming.

    They're in business to make money. It is not a "bad look" for them to try to make money.

    If anything, you should be able to buy WAY, way more than double the number of shards given away for free.

    Obviously they need to bring in revenue.

    I'm not speaking to logic, I'm sharing a feeling I have.

    They can do whatever they want with their game, and I can express my disappointment they chose to charge money for the shiney new thing they said would have exciting new ways to acquire, while they're already losing money due to other poor decisions.

    And you can tell me I'm wrong.

    How long have you been disappointed, then? They've been charging money for the shiny new thing since 2014.
