    Pick only 3? With no 'all of the above' option?

    Lol, sorry icon_e_biggrin.gif . I wanted this to be focused thus only three choices, but I agree, I still had a few more I could have added but didn't want to dilute the pool too much. Seems to me that Roster slots are the hot topic.

    What's funny is that if they fix a few of these it would actually fix most of them. For instance, if HP and ISO were more accesable players could afford roster slots and leveling characters which would ease transition from 2* to 3*. At that point you just need to fix token drop rates which is simple, but with more ISO and HP, players are more likely to spend money to get that last cover or two for a character. For me I think ISO needs to be at the rate where you could level a 3* from 0 to 166 in 2 weeks, faster if you play a lot or place high, this would really help a lot of people, and as I said before, HP rates need to be what it would cost to add the 1 or 2 characters for that month for the cost of roster slots. In other words right now you need about 1600 HP to open up 2 more slots in order to get the next 2 characters assuming you currently have them all, plus you need to add some for shields and placement meaning they need to have about 2000 to 2250 HP flowing out each month as of right now, in a few months they would need closer to 3000 HP flowing per month, as you can see if they don't fix roster slots soon they are really going to be slamming players against a pay 2 play wall.

    This is how HP should work for players

    Beginnesrs--Roster slots
    2-3* guys--Roster slots and some covers
    3*-4* guys--Covers and shields
    4* guys --shields

    In other words, roster costs should plateau so for a vetern they are spendint their resources playing PvP where as an early player needs to be getting spots for all his characters. The transitioners should be less worried about slots and more about building up characters with HP since they are a rare commodity as well as shielding in PvP, but a fully developed roster is all about Shielding and playing against guys thus thats where their resources will go.

    You forgot one thing, expand Alliance functionality.

    Even just adding a general type spot that can demote or kick commanders would be great

    Because I'm an MPQ nerd, I happen to be tracking my Iso/HP gains these days.

    So far for 2015, so 2 weeks, I'm at 156.5k, which is pretty close to a max 3*. While I do play a bunch, I've been playing the PvE literally one pass per sub for both Hulk/Deadpool. If curious, it breaks down like this:

    60770 from PvP
    58770 from PvE
    7230 from Lightning Rounds
    26800 from Tokens/sold 3* covers. (sold 1/2* covers from progression or winning battles are in the PvP and PvE numbers)

    As far as placement, I'm generally top 25 PvP, alliance is top 100 and occasional top 50 these days. So decent but not elite rewards.

    While I'd love more Iso influx, it does meet the current criteria, at least for me.

    I would like some clarification. What are MMRs? I've been on this forum for about a month or so now but I still don't know what that is. Can somebody please let me know? I noticed that the poll has checkboxes (for multiple choice) rather than radio boxes (for one choice), so I assume that's a sly way of saying they are all important issues, so choose one if you dare? Personally, I would go with slot prices and iso8/HP scarcity. I would also say drop rates, but I recently found out that they do some stupid rotation thing with the covers, so at any given time you might not get what you want. Well, hopefully with the transition to 3* being the new 2*, hopefully they figure out that they need to increase drop rates.

    Oh, and one other option that I wish OP had added to the list (I only voted for two things when I should have voted for three, but I definitely would vote for this):

    Decrease rate of new character reveals and inclusions. What did they say? That they would "flood" the game with 4* this year? Not good. And isn't the rate 1 every 2 weeks? Way too fast. Make it 1 per month and make it meaningful cool characters, not stupid characters like Squirrel Girl (seriously, she's the new cover in the next PvE event).

    I'm surprised shield Nerf isn't more popular. Fixing the 3hr shield cool down shouldn't even be up for discussion. It's should be right up there with "Oooops we screwed up"

    Patch it - done. Now the other issues....

    I can't see "Squirrel Girl" in the list.
