If you knew everything you know now would you still register

How long will it take for a new f2p person to even get a single 3* character without spending money now?
If they can't grind constantly in pve?

Knowing what I do now, its a LOT to ask of someone for virtual game rewards that completely disappear the day they pull the plug.

This. I started eight months ago, but have had a heck of a time transitioning since they keep adding characters - this lowers my chance to max out any one with covers. It seems they haven't added HP or ISO in the meantime to try to keep all my under-covered characters up to snuff.

And since then, the character count seems to have doubled. Transition time continues to grow, and they refuse to lower HP costs to allow people to keep all characters on their rosters. As a mid-timer I enjoy playing, but I wouldn't start new today.

Of course I would.

There're some frustrating things, but stuff like "it takes too long to transition" and "I can't be #1 at everything all the time" have never been things that bother me. It's a game. My requirements are:

1) Is it fun?

The answer is yes.

I started playing 5 months ago - mostly off and on.
Prologue got me hooked as I liked the light story that tied the nodes together and the semi-RPG elements of the game.
As they have released a torrent of new characters, the game feels more grindy than fun at times.
Reminds me too much of an MMORPG without even a **** overarching storyline to make PvE progression semi-enjoyable.
The PvE game seems to be how fast one can clear all the nodes to hit those refreshes at an ideal rate so you can earn placement rewards - story be damned since it just slows you down.

Yes it is set in the Marvel Universe with characters I love.
Though the artwork is what drew me into the universe, it was the stories being told that kept me in that universe as pretty artwork only (or rote gameplay in this case) lasts only so long.

Yeah, but I probably wouldn't have been in such a hurry to get to the 'good characters'. Realised quite a while back that this game is a marathon, rather than a sprint.

I probably still would have played since I'm a Marvel nerd, and that was the appeal.

I would still pick it up since it really fills that niche of "I have a few minutes to putz around doing something...what to do?" A decent game that has a puzzle element (sorta) and you can pick up and put down at will.

Although I would have started for kicks, I never would have got serious about it, especially jumping in now? No idea how anyone would "catch up". I would have started, but chances are I may have quit already too.

If I wasn't in a great allaince full of good people I probably would have quit as I wouldn't be playing some events, and eventually the pace of always being behind (which most of us are) would have caught up since I wouldn't be getting good allaince rewards.

I've seriously thought about quitting a few times already, but I have enough of a roster to want to continue to make a fun one.....so for now, I'm still all in. Eventually I may drop off to a casual allaince and just play the odd events that I want to play. But it's the constant influx of goodies that keeps me coming back. Heck, I'll drop in a couple quick rounds just for a common token.
