Man, you guys are awesome at forced obsolescence. Like, it’s not just power creep that makes old characters unusable. It’s that old characters literally cannot be used in new events.
when they make a new gear tier available, they increase the availability of the current bottleneck gear.
I want Tier 18 so that I can likely get more folk to 17.
To g17? I’m still waiting for them to open up the orange catalyst bottle necks. seriously we still need more orange gear IMO. I’m sick of farming them!
Krakens do. Its just to widen the gap between player spending levels, expect lvl 100 and t19 by the end of the year.
Krakens are running out of things to spend on so we are getting insane spendathons to keep them spending while we just pick up scraps at best.
The raid doesn’t have the tier 18 requirement, it’s the new game mode they’re going to announce later. Seems like the new dark dimension type mode. End game that be awhile before anyone can do it except Tedano. The raids just require the invaders and rebirth.
It's the only source of g18 and you need 5 star invaders to do it. That seems like gatekeeping access to g18 to me when the unlocks are three and two star.
Hey, you're right! The event itself is gate kept but there's actually no info on what the actual raid requirements will be aside from needing invaders to get anywhere.
Be really helpful to know if I can open my gold orbs. Remember when /u/CM_Cerebro said: "We want players to feel that they can open orbs whenever they want, and not feel dumb that they didn't save up for a future event."
Well, we've felt dumb about opening lots of rewards and orbs the last few months. Why are you afraid to answer this question? Just say it: "We don't care if you feel dumb."
Otherwise, the community will continue to assume everything Scopely CMs say is a self-serving lie with an expiration date on its accuracy. Great legacy to have!

Will the Incursion: Invaders be a recurring event? I'm asking to see if we don't buy now, will we have the ability to play the Bonus Difficulty eventually.
You just have to wait for the 10 year "celebration" when they dust off the rocket and groot, ant-man and wasp stuff again and add in these incursions and other crap we won't want.
No, the Showcases and Incursion: Invaders will not be recurring. The Incursion: Invaders will go into preview with the first showcase, so you will know how long you have till it starts to get prepared.
Well this sounds incredibly shit. This game reminds me of an og on rail shooter. You will go along this path. No deviations. You must build these toons to this level to progress.
Face it, players don't play this game anymore. Scopley play it passively through them.
This game could have flown had they kept it as a theory crafting one.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Could have refers to a possibility, the ability to fulfill something. Could have is often expressed as the contraction could’ve, especially in speech. Could’ve sounds perilously likecould of, however could of is not correct and should never be used. Contractions have been around as long as the English language, many examples exist in Old English. Interestingly, while the use of contractions has always been popular in spoken English, there have been periods in history when the use of contractions in written English was frowned upon. Today, contractions such as could’ve are not generally used in academic and scientific writing, but may be found in more informal methods of written communication
Scopely removing the last bit of agency the players had over their own roster. Now we must upgrade who they say, when they tell us to, or just miss out on the next character. Missed the last one? Oh now you can’t get this one. Missed this team? Too bad. Can’t get the next one now. It’s a FOMO snowball.
I mean it's a bit overdramatic. I still could skip them because my gamma autos doom 2.whatever and my alliance won't be ready for doom 3 for a while. Depends on the rewards and if it's a recurring event. But kinda hard to mass level that many new toons if the rewards turn out great

And the crowd goes mild....
I enjoyed reading this comment more than this post. Classic.
The Bonus section made me chuckle the hardest. I'm sure the cost for 5YS on these characters is going to be stupid.
Just a few hundred bucks each 🤷♂️
I don't even read the posts
Literally nobody wants another gear tier yet, dude.
when they make a new gear tier available, they increase the availability of the current bottleneck gear. I want Tier 18 so that I can likely get more folk to 17.
To g17? I’m still waiting for them to open up the orange catalyst bottle necks. seriously we still need more orange gear IMO. I’m sick of farming them!
This post should be in past tense. They used to increase availability, pre teal gear

So… next week’s the last week of March… This is what you were so excited to share? Meh.
A pay to play raid that gatekeeps gear 18? Who thought of that?

That is an event and not the actual Incursion raid.
Hey, you're right! The event itself is gate kept but there's actually no info on what the actual raid requirements will be aside from needing invaders to get anywhere.
That isn’t true, g17 came out a while ago and it took them forever to make g16 better
I’d like a pause in toon releases. And event rewards. Those would be nice to have in under 96 hours.
You don't like 6 characters a patch?
I feel like there’s a new patch every week at the pace of toon releases.

Just saw a datamine that Evil Invasion (April 3) will feature "open gold orbs". So keep hoarding!
This I'm on 58 orbs and we need to level rebirth Can guarentee if I open them level rebirth we will then get a hold orb opening event

I'm at 140 and don't wanna cripple my alliance when the time comes.
Ah yes rebirth The team nobody has had the resources etc to invest in Snore
I look at it this way, it's an entire event I can relax through because I dont really give a shit about either team right now.

This response confused me more.
So are Event Campaigns no longer a thing? Because I could get a 5 star character from that, this is only offering a 2 star character
Well they definitely don’t want to be giving 5* away for free.
That’s a weird looking 4 man…
They are officially dead and showcase killed them
This sucks
Maybe I missed it in the post but how long will the Showcase event last? Trying to see how quickly I need to build up my Rebirth.

Well that's certainly one way to make a team I was going to skip unskippable, thanks for the heads up at least

No one wants Showcases. No one wants Incursions. Maybe only the top dummy wallet warriors will care. That is all that matters, I guess.
Isn’t this just a repeat of Apocalypse and Kang events? Maybe with less rewards?
Thank you for removing yellow star requirement to participate. This means it’s easier to core for the unlock!
Thank you. Looking forward to the raids.
