    Hoping mthor and shang aren't getting nerfed I use those everyday.

    I was really hoping season pass would take a break for anniversary

    Don't like the idea of 6 stars, but on the positive side, I have duplicate 550's of every 1a5 and just got my third 550 of 1a5 juggernaut. Hopefully I'll be able to merge them all together as soon as 6 star becomes available.

    I'm fine either ways. Really in apathy mode now. As long as they don't paywall the 6*. And when will they address the SC300 cap?

    The game makes half the money it used to last year.

    What do you think they’re gonna do with 6s in this situation?

    Good. The game isn't making money because nobody has to spend to win anymore. There's nothing worth buying.

    No one will ever quit, and they also want to win -- give them something powerful to buy and they will.

    I'm hoping 6* is something on it's own, not just a natural progression from 3-4-5->6, as in, stronger and bigger numbers.

    Would be cool if a 6* was your whole team, and would have unique powers and goons. Or alternate win conditions like apoc/galactus

    Gotta admit, I'm envisioning a terrible time with 6*. I finally got to a place where I can get all 5s to 13 covers at least, zero at 550. I've been able to continually reload my resources enough to keep this going. But that means also spending my resources as they come. So I have no CP or LT stockpile. I'm worried a new 6* tier will mean I'm back to chasing a new tier. Not quite resetting my progress, but putting me further behind. I haven't felt truly behind in a long time, and I'm not looking forward to getting that feeling back.

    This is kind of how I'm feeling. I have about 40 550's now. All of the 1a5, almost all 2a5, a few 4a5, and many natural 5's.

    I just got to the point where I'm running a pair of boosted 672 every pvp event. Now I'm gonna be chasing the new 6 star tier and the whales will immediately have every character boosted to level 800 or whatever it will be.

    6* on the way?….. I’d be laughing if I said I didn’t groan when I read that. I guess I’ll just hope iit doesn’t suck.

    On the bright side, I’m VERY MUCH looking forward to the rebalances starting the 16th.

    If you are going to release 6*, then please keep the current pvp mmr.

    So how much will Unity screw up the anniversary that’s the real question

    I've been playing this game long enough to remember when 5*s were introduced and people freaked out. Relax everyone. This is a good thing. Don't be afraid of the unknown. The only constant thing in life is change.

    I was around when 4* was introduced. Shoot, I was around when 2* BW was meta. The problem with 6* is that they have to make it rarer to obtain than 5*, and a tier more powerful than 5*. If it happens that only whales can get a usable 6* and regular folks don't get one until two years in, then the experience will be one of regular folks getting crushed and giving up from 5*s being useless.

    The best way to implement right now might actually be, no ascensions, and make 6*s so rare that you can't buy them. You can only get shards in events, or go back to the olden days where only 1st place gets a cover. So that whales can't instantly buy them and have to actually play to win. That would create more activity in both PVE and PVP.

    Of course I know that. Just wanna rant out that's all... :D I envisioned 6* to be a 1-chr-team like those bosses so it somewhat balance the playing field... Maybe ... :|

    Curious how you know it is a good thing. Because 5* worked out? Just because it is change doesn't mean it is automatically good change. Not everything that is different is good. Just like not everything different is bad.

    Don't see the need to panic. If they let us ascend 5* to 6* we get all these dupe 550 guys out of our mmr. Win.

    The games miles off being able to create a decent experience with a 6* mmr. I certainly wouldn't be nuts enough in year 1 to ascend 1* ascended spider-man and co to 6* if it works in the same way as it does now. Of course if you just play pve then that's a different story.

    It wasn't mentioned but I hope they also make both events harder or add CL.

    How does the 6* tier fit in the release schedule? Are only 5 and 6 stars released now? Is it like how we sometimes get a 2* instead of a 4* but now with 2, 4, and 5s?

    Looking forward to the changes, but would like to see the current game get more stable before more things to go wrong.

    I'd always hoped that 6* would be squads that you could buff by having f.ex. all members of the FF4 or the Runaways.
    Or perhaps the really powerful characters like Galactus, Death, the Celestials or the Watchers whose powers can make you win the game in different ways.
