ThaRoadWarrior said: This definitely feels like it was the correct Minimum Viable Solution to the rewards overhaul. I too am very curious where the lost mid-core hp/cp is going to come from now (if anywhere) over the long term. I also think that determining the best way to to roll out future feeders needs to be carefully considered. I would propose that new 4* feeders be released already feeding, rather than having to do all this again. Figure out what the right time interval is for a 5* to languish in Classic before they deserve one, and then just release a new character with the built in feed structure at that time.Count me in the group that would absolutely love a post-mortem on what led to this moment and why splitting covers out across 3 levels at the expense of game currency was decided on.

Like if I hypothetically had a max champ 3* at that time, and sold it in the last day or so, will pepperidge farm remember it was there, or have I made a horrible life choice? Just asking, that isn't my personal situation, but I imagine it is somebody's.

IceIX said: As part of the roll out of Shards, Champion rewards for 2-Stars, 3-Stars, and 4-Stars were updated to include Shards. This amounted to updating over a hundred characters across these three tiers. This represents one of the largest changes to the game that we have made. As part of this release, players received Shards and covers depending on the progress their characters had made to that point.We received feedback from the community that the recent rewards that were received did not hit the mark. We took this to heart and have spent the last couple of days figuring out what can be done and plan on how to execute it.Well, we have good news! We are planning to initiate a second round of “retroactive rewards” for the daily patch on Monday-Tuesday (as long as it passes QA). These rewards will include any character that had their Champion Rewards updated to add a character or update an existing character. This also includes any secondary Shards that you would have received.
