bluewolf said:If you assume you wanted to test just 100 characters (half the game) with a character on teams of 3, that would be 9,900 matches to run to make sure they work together (no bugs). 39,800 for 200 characters. EDIT: Let's go with 9900 matches and assume you need 5 minutes to do good, full testing for each match. That's 49,500 minutes, or 825 hours, and with 4 people that's 5 weeks of work at 40 hours per week. That's also not accounting for however much time is needed to note the team they ran, results, etc.

captainheath said: The new offer is a great example. I have 5 Jean Grey near fully covered. Why would I spend $50 to get another cover of her when she is so clearly behind? Simply modify some numbers. Give her really high match damage or a high damage/low cost red so the player has reason to down her first. I'm not going to spend that level of money on a character that I'll never use.

I'm not going to spend that level of money on a character that I'll never use. I mean, look. I agree 100% that they are not helping themselves by leaving characters untouched yet trying to sell us covers for them.IMO buying Phoenix covers is such a bad idea at her current power level that it's borderline...well.....I won't say predatory, but it's a very bad idea.I am 100% behind the developers rebalancing people over pushing more new characters and diluting the tokens further, I assume the vast majority of players are months to years away from a complete roster as it is.My points earlier were simply my attempt to explain why, despite many many many many many many many! requests for them to rebalance/improve characters, we have not seen them do so in a very long time, and only very rarely over the past 2 years in a game that has only been around for 6.If the devs did address this idea they would probably just say "there are no plans at this time, but maybe we will in the future." Unfortunately they have mostly shut down all communication.
