    I would have expected him to take damage at the cap, he took 0 damage?

    Oh for sure, they definitely would know that already. But I'd be surprised if being vague and withholding that information is going to result in players spending big on anniversary, and then cracking open their wallets to spend big on 6-stars in the event they've used up all their resources. The bean counters can hope for that, but it would be a pipe dream.

    Agreed. I think they want you to at least look at the new toys. If they told you the plans you might just go ahead and walk away, without taking it for a test drive.

    I see a lot of people walking away from this if they haven’t already. We’ll see as time goes by.

    5* drove a lot of players away. The new tier was really expensive and hard to get and completely obliterated anything the long-term players had access to. Surfer alone could easily solo the best 3 4*, and there were a few trick teams that could beat him but it wasn't easy. When OML and Phoenix showed up, the problem got even worse. Whales who spent thousands of dollars in a sitting became completely unbeatable and could basically do whatever they wanted in game.

    A lot of top tier competitive players walked away because they couldn't compete anymore and couldn't or wouldn't spend to win. The others had to wait months until they could catch up. I could absolutely see something similar happening with this.

    Of course, the revenue injected by the new class of whales (many of whom were brand new players at that time, btw) extended the game's life for years and is most likely the reason it's still around today. Those players created buy clubs and that entire subculture.

    Here’s an idea the devs haven’t thought of that might invigorate this game. Instead of creating 6* level characters, why not create NEW CAMPAIGNS/STORIES to make this game even better. Week after week we keep playing the same damn campaigns, which kind of makes this game monotonous. It’s the same boring campaign every time. The devs haven’t thought made new boss campaigns, but that’s it. It would be nice if they created something new other than creating ways to siphon money away from us off cheap gimmicks like 6* characters or ascending old ones. With new stories coming out, that would certainly keep interest in the game in my opinion if they really cared about MPQ. Just a thought.

    Absolutely agree, no new stories since Black Widow, about 5 years ago?

    unity was supposed to help out with this, NO NEWS at all from Devs

    Well they did say that "Tower Mode" would start in the middle of the month along with the new season. That should be the start of more I'd hope...

    I'm hoping Tower mode is actually fun and rewarding, it's just uncomfortable around here with how badly most of the recent changes have gone. Unity sucks. Acquisition cadence for 6* sucks. A lot of us are needing something positive to happen.
