bluewolf said: I just realized that they again ran an essential that was boosted last week (Lockjaw), effectively making one less boosted 4 to use. It would be nice if the boosted list got bigger with almost 60 4*s now.

I think there was only one week between Archangel and America though, and in those instances, I think they've tended to go with three 4*s in between. But of course, that's always subject to change. There was 10 days between their releases: 12/14 & 12/24. 1/11 will be 18 days. I think they did America 4 days early because they wanted the new release on Christmas because they hate us spending time with families. I'd expect the it to be America, New 4, New 5 as per usual. They broke the pattern back with Thor, and I have a hunch they'll fix it like they did with Spidey. They did Doc Ock, Sandman, Spidey, which was 5/4/5, but made up for it with Vulture, Mockingbird, Yondu right after, 4/4/4.Daredevil, Lockjaw, Rogue, 5/4/4, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Thor, 5/4/5, Thor was early to be alongside his movie's release.Then we have Hulk, Nico, Angel, 4/4/5. I originally thought they'd do the 4/4/4 here and release Angel at Christmas (like Thanos last year), but apparently not.If they kept going on the new pattern, America, Kraven, and then an Unknown would fit 4/4/5 again, just like you're saying, with Kraven out on the 11th, that Unknown 5* would be coming around the 25th.But if they "fix" it back to the original schedule and do a third 4* instead, to make up for Thor coming "early", it would delay a 5* release until Feb 8th (assuming the normal two weeks between releases). Then, they could be running a 5* store alongside Black Panther's theatrical release.Now, I have no idea who would make a good 5* to capitalize on the Black Panther movie for cross promotion, but they've moved enough 5*s to fit movie releases that I don't really see them passing this one up. (of course, the cynical counterpoint to that is that they do a new 5 like what you're saying, around the 25th, do a 4* a week early on Feb 1st, which they've been known to do from time to time, then do another 5* two weeks later, even closer to the movie release)

That was my guess on what they'd do for new character.
djrdjr said: BFF should add Daredevil and Electra
That's one thing I've never really understood about BFF. Surely, the characters should be buffed only when with their very own BFF? Black Bolt and Lockjaw, both are boosted. Black Bolt and 5* Gambit, neither are boosted.
I guess that's not a game mechanic that's currently supported. Or will be supported any time soon. Or ever.
jamesh said: If the characters were only boosted when matched in a pair, it would further reduce the variety of opponents in the tournament.Also, it would raise the bar for new players wanting to play competitively: rather than just requiring two characters from the boosted list at a high level, they'd need two characters from the boosted list who happen to be paired up.
jamesh said: Not everyone has the same two highest level characters. And there's a decent sized list of boosted characters at the 4* and 3* levels, so I have been seeing a fair bit of variety in opponents. If the complaint is that Gambit dominates at the 5* tier, what else is new?
I may be a bad person, but I don't care about any of that. It's best friends. They support and encourage each other. Daredevil and Elektra together being boosted makes sense. Daredevil and Kingpin, less so. In fact, that should result in negative interference and a lowering of levels.
If you're going to have thematic events, make the game mechanics support that theme,
I may have mentioned something like that before: https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/comment/580913/#Comment_580913.

Possibilities for Infinity War. Nebula or maybe Mantis. One of Thanos’ various goons. Captain Beardmerica. 4* Thor with one eye (too soon after Ragnarok, please no). Spider-Man (Iron Spider), putting him in every tier and he was in the dang suit in the trailer, I can forgive this one being only a year after 5pidey, please put this one in.Um... 5* Scarlet Witch? Or, you know... Iron Spider.
