JHawkInc said: Why is Doc Ock getting run as a 5-star again so soon? We shouldn't have seen him again until like, August of this year. He's already been featured this cycle, so running him again just makes it take longer for every other classic character to get a chance.

ThaRoadWarrior said: How long ago was the 4* Kingpin/Fury tandem rebalance? I feel like it wasn't THAT long ago, but maybe it was?*edit* - found a post complaining about it from 2017, so i guess longer than I thought.

EDIT: Who followed only Doc Ock and Gambit in ALL of 2018.Each rebalance requires a LOT of testing as there are 202 characters in the game now.Don't hold your breath.
ThaRoadWarrior said: 2020 is a leap year, it could be some sort of schedule adjustment as previously mentioned to account for 2/29
ThaRoadWarrior said: I wonder; there are some basic numbers tweaks that seem like they wouldn't cause any riots - for instance if you just take every character at 450 and compare basic match damage and base hit points, and normalize that, would anyone cry about it? Would you sell back your OML if his match damage was made to align with modern characters like Danver5? Or if Silver Surfer's health were as good as GE Doom's with no other changes? I think it's harder to break out the pitchforks over number tweaks than it is for tear-down-and-rebuilds.

bluewolf said: @IceIX I was looking at the 4* PVP rewards and noticed that the rewards were skipping a bunch of 4's in the expected order.Back in December the 4's (which progress alphabetically) had been progressing into the "S"s with Quake, Red Hulk, Riri, Rocket, Sabretooth....However, when the special PVPs were run they added in Deadpool, Iceman, The Hulk (Main Event), Jubilee, Agent Venom (for some reason) in the middle of some of those.Now we are moving forward with Drax, Elektra, (Northstar for his), Gwenpool, Hulk (Totally Awesome).
