Yes, but it's a 1v1 faceoff for the most part. So no bringing in Kamala Khan and Hood to do the dirty work while Professor X hangs around and invises.

So you're saying that once anyone can beat anyone, it'll be easier to get high scores? Sorry, but we already get a taste of that in BOP and Combined Arms, and it's always much harder to hit high scores in that. Partly because players don't shield as much off-season, but mostly because there's no safe float score, since everyone can beat everyone.

(5*s first and then backsorting for existing characters) With match damage being adjusted by class (so tanks do more damage and supports do less). This is a very interesting idea. If true, is SS standard, or support? Or is the system dynamic, so player can assign roles to different chracters before each match?

First when i saw this i though Well at least if they cant score 1300 pts in PVP they could always get the reward in PVE, Then i started thinking ummm unless you have all 3 ess people needed for the PVE your not going to get 2x progression. So if you dont have the 4 star needed for the PVE i dont think they will earn enough ... Just wondering how many have hit 2x or 2.5X the final reward without having all 3 people. Now i know top 50 is doable with 2 but im talking about 2x progression. unless we are talking major insane grinding down to 1s

It would add UI complexity and be confusing to users that don't quite get what it's for (why on earth would I make my guy weaker? Everyone gets the 25% buff!) and it'd probably result in some rebalances for implementation. I could see some kind of tile destruction w/damage ability being 25% more broken with 25% more power.

Then I read some more details about the DDQ 4*, and now I'm disappointed again. You open up a new, higher tier, when most players can't get into the previous highest tier. And your initial attempt to ameliorate that situation, doesn't appear that it will be at all effective. If I still have to get multiple 4* covers by other means, in order to have a chance in the upcoming DDQ 4*, then I am no better off than I was before. Disappointing.

Disappointing. im really frustrated right now, couldn't even hit 1k points for elektra in army of one...I think what you're saying here is the best way to express that without me getting reported/banned again I think this army of one was a particularly tricky PVP for those without strong 4* rosters. Punisher is always a bloody featured character because he has multiple cheap powers that all do a decent amount of damage. He doesn't often produce outright defeat, but he makes every victory painful. It's very hard to deny him all of his colors while also fueling your own offense. Moreover, the 3*s boosted this week exacerbated that problem. none of the top tiers were boosted (cage, cyclops, switch, bp, kk, etc). Instead you got daken and patch, both of whom extend matches via their regen, and also tend to produce fair bit of damage without actually letting the ai win. All of which means that this event was very taxing on healthpacks. As for the introduction of 5*s, if you aren't already whaling, then you have to accept that there will ALWAYS be a tier of play beyond you. It's impossible for the game to survive otherwise, as the devs need to have content that is a challenge for the biggest whale and the newest newb. So 4*s won't be made easier to get for the masses until there is another tier above them to satisfy the whales (just like ddq wasn't introduced until the 4* release rate ticked up in the spring of '15). It will be the same next year for 6*s (if the game lasts that long). It's a perpetual treadmill and the only way to get to the top tier of play WHILE IT IS STILL THE TOP TIER is to pay. Otherwise you can just wait and be content knowing that you will always be a little bit behind the whales.
