It's not that different to what they released to coincide with Avengers 2.

bluewolf said: The PVP schedule appears to no longer be following the rule “run the longest-ago run PVP”. Spidey ran 1/18, 3CM ran 2/8, and Doom is Spidey’s reward even though we had his PVP just a few weeks ago.I guess we shouldn’t have figured out the pattern. I sold my 3CM, but the dupe is 215 already and I should be fine.
THIS!
This is INFURATING to me! When D3 folks were on Puzzle Warriors 3 a few weeks ago, the boyz were nice enough to ask my questions about this and the answer was not satisfactory. There seems to be a loose schedule for PVP, but when folks like Daredevil come up three times in a twelve month cycle and She-Hulk once, it makes no sense.
They'd been pretty predictable recently. Shulk aside who got skipped a few seasons ago, it's been following a nice pattern. Makes for easy planning on the 3 star farm (one of the least exciting features of this game!)
Spidey is approx. 15 PVPs too early, or about a season and a half. Cap Marvel looks to be next after Widow based on the placement rewards, she's 22 PVPs early or 2 seasons.
Calnexin said: I don't understand why the new characters don't just come pre-loaded with the 5* rewards (where applicable). It seems like a bit of a ripoff for P4nther to take up a release spot when he was just released. Very few people are going to even have him at the first cover anyway, so most players aren't losing out those "bonus" LTs or getting into a dupe situation. But it delays the release of rewards from classics. It's just slowing the process down to do it this way.
bluewolf said: Something of interest in the 4* PVP rewards: it has folllowed an alphabetical progression. The last few were Lockjaw, Luke Cage, Medusa. 4BW breaks that for obvious reasons. Then it jumps to Peggy??? Is she our next feeder? Will they go back and finish the M’s and N’s later?

Maybe they will run a Peggy themed PvP? Isn't she joining the Exiles soon?

It's not that different to what they released to coincide with Avengers 2. Ok. Let’s talk about this. 1. Biggest movie of all time for MCU and maybe the biggest movie of all time. Let’s re run a boss event with nothing new that is in the movie. Didn’t add in The Black Order or anything new. Just a re run. Yawn. 2. Adding 2-3-4-5 new characters is NOT a tie in that a lot of us are looking for. This is a given, almost a mandate for this to happen from Marvel. So this is not surprising at all. 3. Supports. I don’t even want to go down this rabbit hole but I will say it was cool to bring The Black Order to the game. Bad thing is they will never be playable characters now. 4. Yes. Free tokens in a 300 item vault with 171 2*. Maybe we should complain about the free tokens but that vault was terrible. Yoor last point is off. We had a BRAND NEW boss event, Ultron. In fact, I remember when their was a 2nd page for this event that had many different Ultron Bosses you had to beat too. Civil War had a new boss event. Spiderman had a new boss event. Guardians of the Galaxy had a new boss event. Doctor Strange had a new PVE event. Black Panther had a new PVE event. Guardians of the Galaxy has a new PVE event. Ant-Man has Growth Industries. I know I am missing some, but it still comes to the same point. Biggest movie EVER in MCU had.........Nothing new. This is just sad and lazy.

I know I am missing some, but it still comes to the same point. Biggest movie EVER in MCU had.........Nothing new. This is just sad and lazy. I agree that the 300 item vault was unappealing, but I was referring to the free tokens they've been giving out after the vault closed: so far, four beginner support tokens, and two advanced support tokens. I've got two of the Black Order so far, and am interested to see what I get from the remaining two tokens.As far as adding new features to the game, can we consider the whole supports system as being tied into the movie release? It came out a few weeks early, but seems to have been a trial for what they were planning for IW.I know it turned out to be a bit of a disappointment, but that doesn't cancel it out as effort by the developers. I do wonder how the feature went in play testing before the accountants clamped down on the supply.
jamesh said: I guess that explains why we've got Peggy Carter coming up as placement awards and then progression for both story and versus: there's an in-game news post advertising the Exiles issue featuring her.I wonder if it is going to be a 4* versus tournament after Black Widow, or if she'll just be a progression award in Captain Marvel's tournament?
