However, as someone who's approaching 4 years playing this game, I should be able to complete all the nodes above that. At present, that shall not be possible with a 7 cover Dazzler. Have you gotten the Dazzler cover from SHIELD Simulator yet? There is a progression cover coming up this weekend in Meet Rocket and Groot too, so that's two covers for Dazzler that are relatively easy to get. You need 10 covers to level a fourstar to 209 (9 if it's a 5/4/0 build), so if you haven't gotten the Simulator cover you are really just one cover away if you put your mind to it. And she is awarded as a placement Award in The Hunt too...

She'd be a good sidekick for someone that uses it (shame that doesn't apply to Deadpool or Cable, but as a member of X-Force she could work with X-Force Wolverine, add more board clearing to the fight). Curious to see how much more black drops during Domino v Domino fights. Seems like she'll be a good fit with Vulture and C&D. With Vulture, you'll be collecting Black anyway to keep him Airborne. That's fuelled by Domino's Black and Cloak's passive Black, further boosted by Domino's Green destroying non-Black tiles. And of course, adding more Black to the board ramps up Domino's Red.Given how much she interacts with Black tiles, Dr Doom (5 in Blue) and 3* Iron Fist are also great partners for her. Which is exactly what I mentioned lol.

Yeah, my first mention of this team was a full day Before yours. Great minds Think alike I guess. I did not go into details at that Point though...

Hitting 2K in Simulator is very, very difficult for me at this time as a fairly recent convert to 5* land so thats probably out of the question. That said, it shouldn't require scrambling for covers. They simply shouldn't be picking characters this new when Shield Training was, apparently, designed to reward veteran players.

For this mode, length of time playing is not the determining factor. It is having three specific characters at specific levels, one of whom is new (rewarding spenders) and two of whom are old (rewarding vets). Does it suck? Yes. Does it feel like a slap in the face after they seemingly got it right? Just like the return to dilution, absolutely. I can empathize with all of that and feel it too. I can even empathize with the 5* players who used their bonus heroes on feeders instead of Dazzler, only want Domino as a reward factory, and are upset about missing out on a single cover. Fair enough. But the entitlement around “I should” does bother me and when that occurs I find I have to really work to muster sympathy. No idea if the developers feel the same way. I’m guessing they just do what makes the most money and they were probably making more under the old system (thus the return to it).

I’m guessing they just do what makes the most money and they were probably making more under the old system (thus the return to it). And it irks me when people try to wave away complaints because people have the audacity to ask that we be presented with challenges that we've had a reasonable time to prepare for. This isn't an "extra" event. It's a regular part of the release cycle, and has been for OVER a year now.It's not about "I've been playing X days, I should be able to complete Shield Training." It's about feeling that you have a reasonable chance to prepare for the event, and that being unable to complete it is your own fault, instead of being because the system is unfairly bent against you.It's funny you use the Crash as an example. Because we know the order that characters rotate through the Crash, AND we know the criteria a new character has to complete before being eligible to show up in a Crash. Why? So the game provides us with a reasonable number of chances to earn covers for that character before presented with a challenge that requires them at a certain level/coverage. Why is Shield Training suddenly exempt from that? The Crash gives you a heads up so you can prepare, why is it "entitlement" to ask Shield Training to do the same?All people want is to feel like they're getting a fair shot. Why are you against that?
bbigler said: ...So, you complain that you can't complete Shield Training? Are you also complaining that you don't have enough HP to buy every HFH deal? Or enough HP to clear every vault? Or able to champ new characters and take advantage of them being boosted the first month? This entire game is a complex reward system based on money spent and/or time spent. Find your balance of time and money in this game and accept that level of rewards. Or in other words, accept that you can't get everything if you're not willing to spend loads of time and money to get it. I think the problem here is the mentality that we expect to be able to get all progression rewards from PVE.
