I don't entirely understand the question here.
We consistently release new Champions to the 7 Star pool in various ways.

There are 8 new 7 Star Champions coming in August -

Are you wanting us to just mass drop every 7 Star into the pool all at once?

Quote a simple question really. What’s stopping you from increasing the release cadence of champions not available as 7*’s?

We’re already at the rank 4 progression of 7* and there’s a lot of champions not released in the highest rarity. At the pace we’re on we’ll be moving towards 8* before the full champion pool has been released as 7*’s.

That's exactly how it was with 6* though. We had a ton of 5* left behind for a long time.

It was obviously a few years ago now, but I don’t recall the release cadence being anywhere near as slow as it is for 7*’s currently.

There's a reason for it that Mike already stated. If they give us all champs in-game as 7* right now, what exactly would there be to look forward to? Also, how would you rank any of them up? There's a reason the game drip feeds you champs and rank up resources. You'd play for a month tops, get bored and delete the game. That's basically a console version of mortal kombat.

This thread isn’t asking for all champs to be released in one go. It’s questioning why certain champs who don’t particularly need a tune up or buff aren’t being released.

Its literally why though. They are spacing them out. Not that hard to understand.

Because the pace we’re on it will take another 2/3 years to see some of these champs…

Which fits right in with when 8* will probably start to be seen. That's part of the entire timeliness of how often they release old champs at the new higher rarity. Its all connected. They have all this timed out in advance. They know the lifecycle.

We obviously disagree on kabams approach.

7* were released in May 2023, so over 2 years ago. Waiting another 3 years, (or 5 years in total) for all 6* champions to be added to the 7* pool would be questionable to me.

At that point there’s literally no point in releasing them, because as others have said earlier, they’d be completely out of date.

Good thing you don't work for kabam though. They apparently know what they're doing and are happy with the approach. And I guess yall seem to forget that when 6* came out we had significantly less champs than we do now. So when they do start rolling out 8*, you might as well be prepared to wait a few years for your old school favorites to release as 8*. I mean, it makes absolute sense when you actually stop to think about why it's being done the way it is.

One thing I’d like to clarify (and I think your post supports this point) is that I’m not referring to champs like Herc or Doom or Quake. There are host of favorites that aren’t coming soon or at all and I’m at peace with that.

Although he’s probably a bad example, I’m referring to champs more like Rhulk—a champ I didn’t really use as a 6* (although he’s fine), but who has at times been a staple for me as a 7* pull for his poison and incinerate immunity.

I’m not saying I love Rhulk, but timing of his entry into the Titan allowed me to appreciate his utility in a way I never did when he was only a 6*. I imagine the stat boost for a champ like Wasp or CV or Cable or some
of the others I mentioned in my initial post would make even more of an impact.

I play the game to have fun. Champs are the vehicle I use to interact with the game and to have fun. There’s no reason to dump a batch of them into the game suddenly, but I’d enjoy seeing more of them get worked into the game in more varied ways.

We posted about the shift to Batch Updates a few months ago. There are various reasons why we shifted to Batch releases instead of the old system - one of them being, it does give us more time for full review where we can make sure if a Champion needs a tune up they get one.

At the end of the day, Patriot was already doing what he was supposed to do.
The "disagree" count on the video I linked doesn't change the fact that Patriot can perform.
It's totally fine to not like him, I don't personally enjoy using him - and I will never sit here and try to convince you to use a Champion you don't vibe with - but he's been obliterating higher-ranked Photons in 40 seconds in Battlegrounds since he was released.

After the buff, he'll be doing it even faster and easier.

It isn't about "waiting" to release his buff, it's about having an orderly process that allows the team to do their best work without having to crunch to unrealistic timelines.

mike you surely realise by the time you increase the numbers a tiny bit and make some adjustments, that let's be honest dont even improve the character that much, their kit is already on the verge of being obsolete?? You a member on the team know better than anyone else how fast things move in this game amd how quickly kits become obsolete when there's simply a better option available. I understand the reason for the batch release but by the time you do the buffs the buffed version would most likely already be dead too, so you might wanna talk to team about the sheer uselessness of taking more than half a year just for a slight tune up

I mean, who can make any sense of this? Normal content is really easy to see what the rewards are, especially the totals.

But why is valiant EQ so messy, like why does one quest have like nearly 100k T6B fragments, and then no quest has corresponding T3A fragments? How many titan shards do we get? Why do I need a Masters in Maths to work out how much T4A I’m gonna get?

Would rather the rewards were either standardised, simplified (like one quest for shards, one quest does all the catalysts etc) or just put into chapter/act rewards?

Like why does the last quest give better rewards than the whole chapter does? Or does it? I can’t even tell?

This was a problem last month but I thought it was all just bugged (don’t need any more PTSD from those 24 ISO selectors, or was it more?)

I guess valiant EQ has always been and always will be one big mess.
