About Galactus;

  1. Do we still have to acquire 13 “covers” to champion him?

  2. If it will take approximately a month to get 1 power to activate & use him, how is SCL 10 supposed be worth it? How are you changing the rewards?

  3. When are the SCL changes starting?

  4. Are you going to put 6-Star Shards in the Legends Vault?

Thanks

    I have a feeling the new 6* will be in a vault/store on its own... Cosmic, anyone? :D

    I am expecting a new Store that costs like 50 CP per pull.

    That would be massively under costing it if presumably the tokens were 85/15 for 5/6 stars.

    Right now a 25 cp token gives you 15% shot at a 5. One that was a minimum of 5 (100% 5 or greater) should be at least 6x as expensive or 150 cp.

    To add to this, remember when the:original scl 10 needed the same number of clears as scl9? ...And players complained and scl 10 clears were reduce to what they are now.

    So my question is have you reduced the number of clears on the nodes in the new scl 9 and scl 10 to accommodate the players complaing it takes too long to grind and clear the pve node?

    Just making sure that everyone participating here is aware there was a FAQ added that answers at least a few of the questions. Although many remain (of course…)

    Covers are gained through shards mostly (only?), so I don’t expect any 6 cover vaults.

    I'm curious about getting a higher SHIELD Rank than 300. Been at 300 for years. This should update along with the higher difficulty in scaling.

    its very appropriate this happens near the holiday season. It does feel like christmas day. They have full records on how much match XP you have logged so don't sweat it. They've never messed up that update (knocking hard on wood). Its been updated 3 times so they know how to do it/done it successfully.

    My biggest question is: what major life improvements are coming that we weren't able to have pre unity? All the major changes they announced and it's all more of the same as before. Yes, 6* chars and new events promised. But was until really the gate for that?

    We were told BIG new things would follow unity, and though we are still in a **** storm where many players are locked out of their own games, but why can't they let us know... What was the point of it all? Why are we still/already going full cash grab while long time players can't play and nothing is better?

    It's such a bad look to be "asking" for money from people who are so unhappy with the current state. Are we paying in hopes that things get better? Is "better" just back to the way it was, or is it an improvement beyond that? How can we expect players who have been locked out since July, with atrocious attempts to help, to want to come back at all? Not only are they mad and insulted, but they've now experienced 3+ months of life without mpq. Most of us were still playing because it's a fun habit that we at least found some fun in. Now, lots of people have broken that habit, who's to say they go back at all?

    Why does no one seem to care? I have to believe they do, but they aren't even talking. Sitting behind the computer in an "ivory tower" (obviously it's not the developers that are rich and powerful) and refusing to say a word... Insulting, unspeakable (pun intended). What a mess. THESE are the real questions

    Tout à fait d'accord

    Who knows what they’d do - what the break points would be and what the max level would be. All that.

    But ascension and broken MMR/Cover-xmas makes me wonder if they put in say a max of 450, how many players would just immediately hit that limit and start complaining again that they aren’t getting higher levels.

    I don’t know the equivalent xp for adding 1s and 2s or how ascension levels are tallied or anything. I’m at 300 so I can’t even see how much xp I needed last time to get from 299 to 300.

    But it’s an interesting thought that longtime vets might be at like the equivalent of 600 right now. Maybe more like 700. Who knows?

    Shield rank its just ISO bonuses and no the iso doesn't really matter for rosters who are past 300. Yeah the biggest whales will immediately hit the new cap. You get Shield Rank XP for playing and winning matches, so the cover drop thing didn't really change anything.

    Once your post-iso, the Shield Rank drops don't really matter. However it is nice to see it fully leveled out etc...

    As I haven't hit 300 yet, I just did a test to verify and can see that you get 40 XP for adding every single cover to a 1A5, so 160 XP for every level you add. So the extra covers would definitely have had an impact on XP gained and your theoretical SR level beyond 300 if you are currently capped.

    I just hit 299, and it takes 25950 XP to reach 300.
