Oh right, nevermind... :-) Basic pattern recognition says he "could" be next, sure.Logic says that half of the groups of 3 Latest they've run have been completely out of release order, and that no pattern for how they choose Latest or Classic characters has been released, so it could have been ANY character in a Latest token.People are getting bent out of shape because the devs didn't follow a rule that is 100% made up by the forums.I'm all for calling them out when they make mistakes, but the people here basically shouted "Trust fall!" and leaned backwards into an empty room and then got mad when the devs (rightfully) didn't catch them. There is NO RULE in what we have been given that says Thor should be before Archangel, and people playing by that rule only have themselves to blame.Would it be nice if they had a pattern (like using release order?) that we could follow and predict who was next? Sure. But it's certainly not a mistake when they deviate from a pattern that they didn't come up with in the first place.

(nevermind, cause we shouldnt expect logic orders from d3..)You said nothing said it should be. The last 3 times, the 3 5ess were in order of release. Before that, they messed up with 3 latest and 2 classic too. I think you could with good reason expect them to continue that order. Also, as Angel is the 3rd latest in this cycle, we will skip Thor now, which wouldnt be very logical.Thats 2 viable reasons to assume it should be Thor, which i wouldnt call nothing.Also, if there is no logic in this order, i would suggest they make this a priority and asap share it with us, as this can seriously impact peoples game. I assume, if i may, they dont just roll a dice each cycle, right?
LifeofAgony said: It’s the same problem that keeps coming back up - any information we do happen to get out of the devs via our community manager is often inaccurate, incomplete, or ambiguous. The only information we got was 3 latest, 2 classic (which they’ve broken that order too already). Would it be so difficult to just lay out an actual featured list rather than the endless guessing? Given that they were able to put out 2+ weeks of pvp events before they went on holiday, it would be hard to believe they don’t have the events planned out a few weeks+ in advance.Clear accurate communication, its not this hard.
JHawkInc said: Your use of sarcasm is irrelevant because your point was wrong.I didn't call it "nothing." I called it "rules made up by the forums." The last three cycles were in release order, the two before that were not. I wouldn't call something that happens 60% of the time (3/5) a guaranteed pattern. Since this time they didn't follow release order, that would tell us the odds of the Latest 5*s following release order is 50/50 (3/6). You can't say it's "logical" for Thor to be next and then ignore all of the facts that suggest it's just as likely that they would go with Archangel instead. (and we're not even looking at the classics, which have never rotated in release order, which, if anything, suggests that the lastest 5*s being featured in release order is the oddity, not the norm) You may want to joke about d3 being illiogical but the evidence we have says the people here on the forums are being illogical, not d3

Yasuru said: To those who are saying there hasn't been an order, this is the list since 5*s were added to HfH:Classic - BB (not HfH but part of the pattern)Classic - GG (Black)Latest - S-M (PP) (Blue)Latest - DD (Yellow)Latest - Gambit (Purple)Classic - Iron Man (Red)Classic - S-L (Yellow)Latest - S-M (PP) (Green)Latest - DD (Green)Latest - Gambit (Red)Classic - Hawk (Purple)Classic - S-M (BiB) (Blue)At this point, Thor was added and S-M (PP) went Classic.Latest - DD (Purple)Latest - None due to Apoc event. Should have been GambitLatest - Thor (Green)Classic - BW (Purple)Classic - Hulk (Blue)Latest - DD (Yellow)Latest - Gambit (Black)Latest - Based on the above, should have been ThorThere's no logical reason to skip Thor in the cycle. My thought is that they intended to add AA to the end of the latest cycle, and drop DD, but they did it one cycle too early.
