mega ghost said: Here's the thing though, the fact that they've offered insultingly bad deals around supports yet again leads me to believe that the previous offers were actually profitable for them. So I'm also very mad at the players that have taught them that this behavior is not only acceptable but have reinforced it financially.
Assuming that these are all direct dev quotes, I thought some things are worth providing direct feedback.:1. I don't expect Supports will have a huge impact on top-end competitive PvE initially. Especially since it'll take some time for players to collect and level up Supports to a high level. But there are Perks that affect damage and would be relevant in situations where speed matters.2. We'll be introducing more Supports in the future, so players should have a variety of them available to utilize and strengthen as you progress through the game.3. This is a big change to the game, and it's possible that it could result in changes to the character schedule down the line. We're not in danger of running out of awesome Marvel characters any time soon, but part of what motivated this feature was thinking about what would let us continue to add exciting new things to the game for many years.4. Everyone with a 3* or better gets the same starter batch of Supports.Over time, though, folks with better rosters should have an easier time doing well in the ways that let you earn more Supports and strengthen them more quickly.5. We’ll also be experimenting with different ways to get Supports and Red Iso-8.

Those in between 2* to 4* might not have excess HP to make this purchase. It's going to take many months of saving HP before a 3* or new 4* players can buy this deal. Again, they would rather use it to buy rostwr slots. However, 250CP can be saved in a month or less for most of the 3* or 4* players. So, I think I'm jumping on 4* BP deal.

To be fair, based on my experiences when I was hoarding as a 4 star player, 250 CP was earned faster than 7600 HP. But just pointing this out doesn't explain why a theoretical player, at a point where HP is rare but CP is not (while still being at a point where they're hoarding hundreds of CP) would feel compelled to buy this anyways. They'd have to be a big fan of Wakanda/BP and a big fan of supports.
Seriously, *roughly*? Now, assuming that this means somewhere between 1 in 29.5 and 1 in 28.5, we get a number between 3.39% and 3.51%. Because... more rng I guess?
I would just like to point out that that is roughly 3 times worse odds to get a 5* support than before (10%). But there are so many problems with supports that only a few people have actually brought up this point so far in the thread. And I didn't really think the odds were particularly good before.
So umm... 250CP for one 4*, and a ~3.5% chance at a 5* support? That's just brutal.
(For the record, I think supports have potential. They're just needlessly hard to acquire and level up in any meaningful way as currently implemented. And they appear to be getting worse rather than better, which is some kind of feat on its own.)

Magic said: I think we need more supports and less ways to get them. Also - the flow of RISO is too strong. SMH
