What about all those max 4* you have and aren't you bothered about your 5* not being maxed yet? This is how the game evolves. They introduce new challenges and stronger content, and people grow from working towards something. It's not a sudden change. It will be gradual, and other changes will come before we see many of them floating around. We can't expect the game to continue and thrive if it's always at a comfortable homeostasis. New goals and challenges have to be introduced. It also doesn't mean that past effort was wasted. That's an exaggeration. I'm all for growth. The game is not one where you achieve some level and stay comfortable forever. As long as it continues to expand, it means there is constantly something to work towards, and that makes me more inclined to play because I won't get bored anytime soon. Those are my reasons. Lol.

What about all those max 4* you have and aren't you bothered about your 5* not being maxed yet? I'm a F2P player. Never spent a dime on the game. And although, yes one day (when we have enough 6*s and can rank them up to rank 3 AT LEAST) 4*s will become useless for newer content. But i don't think that time will come until 2019. The reason i support the addition of 6*s is because off the following reasons : 1) Duping 5*s atm gives us less stuff than duping 4*s. (No shards vs 275 5*s shards, same ISO and gold) HOW does that make any sense. This way we would be getting shards for something 6 months earlier. 2) Adding 6*s means 5*s will be more available, and i want to grow my 5* roster further. 3) 6* coming means the resources for ranking up 5*s and especially 4*s like T4CC, T2As, T5Bs would be made more available to us. Looking forward to upgrade my R4 5* SL. Now i will still be maxing out my 4*s because i don't think 4* DV, GP, Iceman, AA, Hulk etc would become useless anytime soon, even in the next year too.

Superman69 wrote: » nameplas wrote: » Yeah, totally agree with the first reason, then 5* would be more available as well, but what about all those featured crystals everyone opens, they would have expanded their roster by opening the basics since their dupe would give 6* shards. Well that was everyone's personal preference, they spent more shards and got way better champs than others who mostly got IP, Antman, Colossus etc. All those 5* Icemen, DVs, GPs, Dorms, will stay top champs for quite a long while. Plus, they gave us a 6-month notice now. So you can decide whether you still want the featured ones or not. That's why i say this was a good move by Kabam, announcing them early on. They will probably release T5 Basics when 5.3 comes out, alongwith some T2As. People will have r5 5*s then. If they had announced 6*s right before releasing them, what would all these people say then? They couldn't say what mostly are saying atm, that we can't max out our 5*s. Plus, we would have to start with 0 6* shards then while they would already be there in game as opponents in Story quests, Events, AQ etc. So i say this is good for us.

I know I gather enough shards for a 5* in about 2.5-3 weeks. Even if they double the shards acquired, we will be looking at a 5* once every 1.25 - 1.5 weeks. To get a 6* you'll need to dupe a 5* 36 times, i.e. 45 - 54 weeks! And the pre-requisite is ALL the 5*s you pull have to be dupes. How likely is that given that the 5* pool is increasing in size every month? So even if 6* shards are made available in 2 weeks, realistically it will take, at the bare minimum, 1 year to get a 6* champ. Now putting that into perspective, come August 2018, should Kabam announce the introduction of 6* champs, would you think that's too early?

How do you know 5* champs will be more available? For money you can buy more shards possibly but no way Kabam starts making it "easier". Lower players are screwed and it will widen that gap of progression.

Now putting that into perspective, come August 2018, should Kabam announce the introduction of 6* champs, would you think that's too early? Game doesn't need 6* period really and how the **** does one even get a 5* that fast. I wager you are a fair spender and pick up offers for 5* shards when you can can and or you grind for every basic and featured champ old or new just to get the 5* shards. The problem isn't really for someone like you that is willing to shell out money. The more free end player would need to see a 5* weekly for this move to make sense at all cause like you said the 5* pool is ever growing. Myself I have 13 5* and only ever duped 1 of those with a crystal the other had to use a gem. So brag about your shard collection rate but doesn't change the fact that 5* crystals come far too infrequent for most mid level late game players to warrant this move.

What's ironic is you say people mostly get antmans, hulkbusters from basics while you're having a 4/55 starlord. I agree those top champs will stay there for a while. And it isn't about the 6 month period that they gave, it never was. They should have taken a poll from at least those who have the uncollected title and then decide if it's the right time.

Lower players are screwed and it will widen that gap of progression. Well have you read their announcement posts !? They said this exact thing in that, that they will be making 5* shards more available to the players in upcoming times. HOW are lower players screwed. If anything it benefits them. When i started, i remember my top champs were a maxed 3* SL and 3* UC for months, until i pulled a 4* out of a PHC. Now you see people with 10+ 4-stars after 2 months. And even when 5-stars came, it took us months to save and open 1. Now newer players get one in first couple of months, and now 4* and 5* shards will become even more available because they won't be as rare as they used to be once, because of 6*s.
