CAUSE...back in the day we never thought 6* being in the game and 5* DUPES back then never gave out 6* shards.

so imagine all those poeple who got screwed back in the day not getting 6* shards for duping iron patriots,iron man,iron fist and anything else that wasn't starlord or majik back in the day.

    People have ranked up 6 star champs but only rank 2.

    How long before we get 8* shards for those 7*s!?!?!

    Why would you think anyone would have a clue? We can’t even rank up a 6* yet. Pfffffttt

    Yes you can rank up 6*... multiple YouTube videos showcasing them

    noone had a clue when 5* was released there was 6* coming. and 5* shards was so hard to get and the pool was really bad back in the day if u actually played.
    pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff back at you!

    Couple of years and we should start getting them. Sit tight and get ready to ask for 8* shards that very same day.

    Well if you look at the past you’ll see 7* shards when 7*s are announced.
  • GroundedWisdomGroundedWisdom Posts: 36,236 ★★★★★
    Um....pretty sure 7*s are along way off, my friend. We haven't even had Act 6 released yet, and the highest you can Rank a 6* is R2.

    My guess is August. They should be announcing the coming of 7* champs in August for 2019. This way everyone has plenty of time to accumulate 7* Shards by duping 6* champs.

    Look at how long 5* existed. We have a long long time to go my friends.

    exactly. But think about how ridiculous it was way back when. I expect 6* to have the same progression. If they do, we're looking at like august 2019 before the announcement of 7*, and then february 2020 before we get 7*.

    i know how it was back in the day just like how 4* are to easy to get and are basically handouts to new players, and the current 4* cutoffs are now a joke.

    i did over 6mil on Nc arena from basic and missed out on him.

    yea but imagine all the "dupe" 6* u get, so until 7* are release then u wont be gettingt any 7* shards from dupe 6*'s

    but who knows. 7* may exist or not. just makes you think value of 5* was very high like a year ago, and my goal was to get my first R4...

    As soon as there arent any RDT, nerf blade, and make missing OG champs available in 5/6* form, posts. Or possibly when Spidermans Sister is introduced into the game.

    Probably longer than that. 6* champs start at rank 1 comparable to rank 4 5* champs. 7* champs if and when they arrive will almost certainly follow a similar pattern. So unlike 5* champions that had an accelerated rank up schedule because they needed to be ranked up to at least rank 3 to be competitive with 4* rank 5 champions, 7* champions have no reason to exist until we can at least rank up 6* champions to rank 4 or 5 and there's not the same pressure to enable those rank ups as fast. We can't even rank them up past rank 2 at the moment.

    First they enable 6* rank 3, then they enable 6* rank 4, and then sometime after that when a significant number of players have a significant number of rank 4 6* champs, that's the *earliest* you'll likely see 7* champs being seriously discussed. More likely you'll see 7* champs arrive around the same time the ability to rank 5 6* champions arrives, plus or minus. The absolute earliest I would expect that to happen is late-2020. I would not be at all surprised to reach 2021 without 7* champions in the game.

    I hope it just ends at 6*. 1-5* was a good system. 6*s are a little bit ridiculous to me. Anything more than that would just be silly. Maybe by the time it happens I'll warm up to the idea.

    stop assuming act 6 will come out

    Im curious as to why you would want spidermans sister to be added when we could supplement her with either taskmasters sisters or black video 6 stars???

    Even though kabam themselves have told us act 6 will come out? The story literally says “to be concluded in act 6...”

    take it easy on him. He probably hasn't finished act 4 and is making a post about asking for decreased energy costs

    Agreed....if 7 stars are a thing I think I'd just be over collecting champs at that point, and that's one of the biggest joys I get from the game.

  • VoluntarisVoluntaris Posts: 1,198 ★★★
    when 10 star shards.

    Weren’t 5* in the game for well over a year before 6* were announced? I would expect the same timeline of not longer for 7*

    I would expect the timeline for 7* champions, assuming they ever arrive, to be completely unrelated to the timeline for 5* champions and in any case much longer. They learned valuable lessons for what went wrong with 5* champions, the first of them being that because of the significant overlap in power between 4* and 5*, the first three rank up levels of 5* champions were, in progressional terms, mostly wasted: they only served to make 5* champions roughly equal to the 5/50 4* champions that were already fairly common. 6* champions are immediately useful as comparable to 4/55 5* champions without even any rank up catalysts, which means Kabam can take their time slowly releasing the materials necessary to rank them up at all.

    So 7* champions don't even have to be considered until we can rank 6* champions up to at least rank 4, possibly rank 5, which I don't expect to happen any time soon because there's no significant pressure to release the ability to do so.
