It’s literally set up to reward players who have taken the time and effort to clear most of the game? What you’re asking for would be like if all the story and event quest missions were available from the start. That’s like if I started playing the game yesterday and I felt like I deserved to start Act 6 to see what it’s like. There’s been events and event quests i couldn’t do because of my roster and now i can. It’s just natural progression.
I am much less concerned with not having access to the top level due to not being uncollected than I am with not being able to complete the levels I can access due to not being awarded certain champs. I have little to no control over whether I have a certain champ on my roster.
While I was waiting to get these missing champs, I duped my Rhino NINE TIMES just from the homesick crystals. That is frikkin annoying. I am not looking for anything I shouldn't be entitled to due to my current progress in the game, I just want the same opportunity to finish the difficulty levels appropriate to my progression as everyone else.
Yeah I know they are gonna release the new special solo objectives to allow us to get them, but that means I have to waste time and resources to specifically grind for those champs in content I might not need or want to participate in.
Let's get real. Would it break anything to just go ahead and give everyone a 1* version of all the champs needed for these gates? Or just not require those champs in the first place??

You have the same opportunities, we are all subject to the whims of RNG, but even still they are giving you the solo objectives. You dont have to waste the time, you can jsut not do those gated content, it is your choice , just like most thing.
I started a new discussion to compile suggested paths to help ppl acquire the missing champs with a minimum of effort and resource expenditure. Please contribute if you know any:
Buying tickets is just a unneeded step that adds confusion. They should have made the gates require shield tokens to open, not tickets. Also, they needed to put the tokens in the Resource Summary menu with Glory and Loyalty. Having to go to your inventory to check is another unneeded step.
RNG still punishing me despite opening a plethora of Homesick (and other) crystals.
Hopefully the 50 fight event won't be as bad as it sounds.
I think many seem to be unaware of the 50 Fight objectives that are coming today. There's a reason the event extends 2 weeks beyond the unlock of the final chapter. So you have time to allocate any missing gate champs. They've made it possible for anyone to 100% the highest difficulty they can access. Just have to wait until the objectives drop and you'll be good to go.
Even with the higher energy requirements, you could easily 100% any difficulty for free if you plan it right. If you lack the patience to do so, you'll be purchasing Energy Refills. Gating the difficulties is nothing new either. You cannot access the UC EQ difficulty until you're at Level 40+ and have allocated the Uncollected title. While the Epic difficulty of the Class Trips is relatively easy, it's gated by progress just like many other things.
Now, as to whether or not this practice is fair is subjective. Honestly, I see it as fair considering it has been ongoing for quite some time, and it mirrors a lot in life. You work towards the higher content by completing the lower content 1st. It's a journey that you cannot take short cuts in. So what? This isn't singling anyone out. This is how it has been, and likely will continue to be as we go. Throwing the 'it's not fair' out there is likely to fall upon deaf ears considering everyone that can access the content at one point couldn't as they hadn't met the requirements.
Sure, there are those who completed 5.2 in its entirety when it dropped giving them access to any UC related content from the word go. However, many did not. Some came after UC came into being. Fact remains, everyone has to do it to get into UC/Epic here. It's unfortunate for those who haven't made it that far, but it is what it is. Keep fighting and working your way up! You'll get there eventually if you keep at it. Truthfully, it's a rarity in life that when you're entry level at a job they'd immediately hand you a management position. You have to earn that. In a sense, this is no different. Experience, and progress are the keys to unlocking higher end content.
Opened 5 homesick crystals today and got sym spidey (the last one I needed), sparky, miles morales, venom, and doc ock. All are champs required for the gates.
Could just be coincidence, but maybe... possibly... they are making the ones we need more available in the crystals as we approach the end of the event...?
Gwenpool event was insanely boring. Literally just busy work... hope it never returns. Those that do can’t earn 5*’s on their own and want a hand out as usual.
