Thanksgiving Update - New Stories/Characters on their way

My money is on Guardians of the Galaxy and Ultron! Maybe Thanos??
Anyway, too many characters too fast. I can barely manage HP for shields...

Regarding the robot reference we could see the vision, or maybe a story involving sentinels.

Can they just stop with the new characters for one freaking month?

They are requiring this game to be pay to play because no one can farm 500-600 HP for a new roster slot at the pace they are going and still have HP for shields in PVP.

If they want to increase the number of characters being released, they should increase the HP rewards on PVP progressions by at least 100%.

I feel the HP flow is fairly adequate, but maybe I am more conservative with shielding than the average player. You can afford to put up one 8-hour shield or two 3-hour shields and still break even as long as you get all HP progression rewards and at least top 50. Then there's the alliance reward as a bonus, and PvE HP also goes straight to the stash.

For all the new characters HP flow is not enough right now. Given your example of a top 50 finish and a top 100-250 alliance and 150 HP spent on shields in PVP you will be earning 50HP per PVP event. You get 100 for progressions 50 for placement 50 from alliance-150 from shields. If there is a new character every 2 weeks and your HP slot costs 500 HP you will have earned only 300 HP from PVP events. Yes you can earn HP rewards from PVE right now top 10 in subs gives you some HP and final placement will earn you some more, but overall you will be very close to HP neutral to a little HP positive every 2 weeks. Now if you are a transition player, and you pull a cover you don't have you are now HP negative with roster slots. This is the issue with so many new characters. Players can no longer build up HP to buy a 3* cover that could really help them with the game becuase they need to stock up on HP for roster slotes to get the new character so they can play the essentials in the next PVE.
My suggestion is in PVP top 10 gets 150 HP top 25 gets 100 HP and for alliances top 100 and top 250 gets 150 HP. This will give a top 50 player an extra 150HP per week and a top 25 player an extra 300 HP per week which with good PVE play you can open roster slots and occasionally buy a 3* cover. This will help transition for F2P players. P2W players will always buy HP to get there covers so it is just an extra bonus for them. I also feel they should double the drop rates on ISO so players can actually level all these new characters since for the most part it is brutal to level them with ISO with so many new characters coming out. They are not even playable for 4-6 months as the game currently stands.

I'll be happy if it's new dialog, regardless of the rewards - I am ready to hear some new exchanges. I wish they would delay new character introductions until they had a new story arc to go along with it, but it sounds like we may be getting some new dialog/story soon. Hopefully it's not just a heroic recycling!

I assume Vision is the new robot.
Iceman should be the chilly, Christmas character.
Guardians seem beyond obvious at this point. Can we get a Ronan the Accuser as a 4 star?
