LifeofAgony said: This is definitely not a positive change, despite the new save feature.i am not a hoarder. I open primarily latest as I play pve and need new 5* more frequently. I am usually able to finish the toon while they’re in latest without hoarding. This has largely been doable thanks to swaps. For LumberCap I pulled 10 purple covers. So my save box would’ve been full long before I had the requisite 13. Now you’ve gone from a service that let me exchange 1:1 where now I need FIVE(!!) to get 1 and even then, may need to potentially do that multiple times if a certain color is particularly elusive.These did not need to be done concurrently. Adding save feature didn’t need to replace this feature.

scottee said: I'm a F2P 5* player who has used CS cover swaps three times.I'm ok with this change.Yes, it delays the completion of 5* characters, which is a negative. But it's a positive in so many other cases. The vast majority of the time, you'll get the 13th cover before you max the 5 saved covers and have to convert. Yes, exceptions happen, but they'll be pretty rare.Everyone knew the 5* swap wasn't going to last forever. I'm currently opening LL's right now trying to complete JJ and Okoye, so this might end up affecting me, but I'm still fine with the change.As with all changes in the game, some will accept this more quickly than others. Some never will. It's the nature of things.
Pico said: @Brigby What will happen with the dupes that already people have? Cap.America ... at 2/5/4... dupe at 0.4.0. Will we be able to merge that to saved covers or will just end up to be a lost cause?
The old Captain America I assume? With the new one you could just have gotten the covers swapped.
My 0/5/0 Okoye is not too happy about these news...

The rockett said: I know somebody has this info, but when did they start the LL tokens and doing the LL swaps? How long has this been going on?
Thanos was the first time I heard of Latest cover swaps, so almost 2yrs.
I know we've been complaining about the 6th cover issue since the beginning so almost 5yrs there.
Brigby said: nycjonny said: Brigby are the swaps that happen to another LL when and if you have an LL character at 550 also ending? As of right now, we do not plan to continue any cover exchange policies following the 27th.

Jexman said: Yes, this is terrible. I’m a day 1600+ player. The only reason to keep playing (and spending) is a hope that gameplay will at least stay as fun as it’s been. The endgame is not fun, as this thread is spelling out (hoarding is soooo boring, and there’s a lot of competition for other even ftp mobile games, not mention all the other fun things to do with our time). I see this move and the move to end vaulting as moves aimed at shedding longtime players in favor of new players. The developers have decided there’s nothing they want to do to improve the endgame (make it a middle game?), so they’ll just get rid of us and try to find new players. Bleh.
