One piece we heard repeatedly is that Supports just weren't strong enough to bother playing with. We're thinking about how to respond to all all of your feedback, but this was the piece that we felt we could address the quickest. Quicker than increasing the amount of RISO available for players to earn in events, quicker than increasing the number/quality of supports offered as rewards (placement/progression), quicker than making vaults of realistic size and acceptable odds so that you have a decent chance of getting a support instead of another 2* cover?

Now you can only realistically get 2 perks on any support, and most likely the most useful perk will be the third one if the newest "improved" perk is a good example of future designs. At least some of the old supports had good perks at 2, 3, or 4. Imagine that with the change, perk 2 is equal to perk 3 AND perk 4 from a support today. Possibly with improved numbers. That's what I'm reading here. I'd say that makes 3* supports better than today, and 4* supports, at the very least, more or less the same.

Heartbreaksoup said: Actually, you know what would be lovely? You know that node in Webbed Wonder that rewards a Howard cover? How about adding an optional node to each PVE story that does not award any points whatsoever, just a Support token. That way, the players who enjoy Supports can play it for a prize that we want, and the players who seem offended by the very existence of the things and want our fun toys taken away from us can skip the node and not worry about earning one.

Everything else is 2* or lower."Everything else" being 13/33. Can't find them.Not that it would matter - my 5* support is "up to" level 119, I barely would have maxed any 2* support at this time.Supports and Riso need to be MUCH more common to make me pay any attention to them.
