Anyone have thoughts or Information on it and what it could look like. I’m asking because a friend of mine said it would be 8.2 100% and 3 7r2 xD.

My assumption is that the new progression title will be bound to 7* r3 champs. The amount of three seems about right but not this year
It is highly unlikely Kabam would make any progression tier require 100% of any Act. There are design reasons why, but the bottom line is that for a while now the devs have treated story content (and in fact, even monthly content to some degree) as a "completion mandatory, exploration optional" thing. This gives them the flexibility to add interesting (for some definition of interesting) node combination and new mechanics to that content to spice it up, without worrying that if they make it too hard or weird it will blockade progress - as Act 6 once did with super hard (for many) bosses. Requiring 100% exploration for any story arc chapter would be going against this design philosophy.
I also think it is unlikely at this point that the next progression tier would require R2s. I thought it was 60/40 a while ago that the next progression tier would require R2s - because of the problems inherent in the overlap between 6* R5 and 7* R2. But with the flood of R2 materials added to the game since then, there's almost no chance that the next progression tier will require any number of those. There's just too many of them: the next progression tier would essentially be not just easy for a high number of top players to reach, it would be a completely non-event. They'd not only have them, they'd be way past them.
At the bare minimum, I now think R3 is the next progression requirement target. Not only does it make the R5/R2 overlap moot, its something no one has yet, so no one can be already over it. It is still something to strive for.
Instead of r5 my 6*, been saving for 7*.
Have enough to bring 3 7* to r2.
Also been saving 7* crystals for next drop.

and even if they are thinking about this there's simply zero way it would require.a 7R3. only one person in the world would even qualify for it. the point of progression is not only goal oriented but also such that you have a generous starting pool of players.
you're talking about ticking off the entire ecosystem of players minus one and Kabam just isn't going to do that.
i hope there isn't a new progression one for a while. one that when it eventually does come, all the crystals are ready, the bonuses are ready, the calendar is ready et al. i'd like a fully realized title and none of the "coming soon" or "later" tidbits.
