i think they're way too early. were bound to come eventually. especially with relics coming, there's bound to be bugs that need to be fixed and something that needs to be changed based on feedback. i think having the two come within the same span is just trying to not have another big gap of no change in the game, and it's not gonna end well
I think it's a bit early, but I also think it will be a long time before 7*s matter and we'll be used to the idea by then. There was a lot of outcry about 6*s when they were released. I'd like to hear one person who was protesting at the time honestly argue that the game would be better and stronger right now if Kabam had stopped progression with 5*s..
Comparing the 4,5,6 build is totally different to 7 stars. There are now 225+ champions in the game and with the cadence of continuing to release 2 per month, it'll likely be 250 champions by the time most of the playerbase is able to access/open their first 7 star crystal. Unless they specifically filter the pool of champions available or change how the cystal system works for 7*s , lots of players will end up with their first 7* groot/cyclops, likely enough to officially push them to quit.

7*s will come out with an initial pool which will likely not be all that great. New champs will be added to the pool with some existing champs over time. The number of champs that exist will make no difference to the available pool of 7*s for a long time. That's the way it worked for 5*s and 6*s.
IMO there should have been a way to ascend ur 6* champ into 7* champ Some adjustments could've been made for sig levels so that sig 200 6* doesn't ascend to sig 200 7* However starting the collection again just doesn't seem fun to me Seems like repeating last few years all over again
I wasn't playing when 6 stars were first introduced so I've never seen the impact of it on the community. I do imagine that 6 stars will stay relevant for the next couple years at least. I am excited for a new rarity to be added to the game.
I think it doesn’t make sense to introduce 7*s when the current content isn’t challenging enough for 5*s. They should first work on creating content suitable for 6*r4-5 before thinking of doing something that crazy.
I'd rather prefer to add one or two ranks to the 6 stars, so it doesn't stop at rank 5, but maybe 6 or 7. Just thinking about how long it took to get the first 6 star dupe / awakened champ makes me wanna cry, i honestly don't want to start that all over again with 7 stars, that may indeed be a reason to quit for me

Early?.. 6* have been out for what? 3 years out of 7?...u consider that early?
With 7 stars and relics coming one thing I can assure you is that I and almost all of my members of 2 of my alliances would be done with the game soon.
As someone said: it's inevitable. I am not glad for it or against it. I play what Kabam gives me to play.
I play other games and I know how hard it is to catch up for newbie so can't give up this game for small reasons. In this game I have everything, huge rosters, high level skillset and knowledge, and I have done every contents. So, will keep playing it.
Don’t know how to say. But most likely I will officially retire from the game. I just don’t want to spend half year again to collect more than 200K shreds. Hunting for a character in feature I want, but still miss..
I just quit. I slept on it to let it sink in. Told my alliance of 4 years goodbye, left and uninstalled the game. There's no way I can invest the time and cash into a 7* roster. My 6* roster was finally something to feel good about and in 5 months it'll be useless. No thanks, not doing this again. Good luck to those who cantinue. If ascension meant turning your 6* into 7* I'd be cool with it, but that's not happening so I'm out. Kabam will screw up relics and ascension because let's all face it. That what they do. They screw up evrrything new in the game. Bugs persist for months, nothing is done to modders and cheaters. I can go on, but there's no point since this game will have no part in my life anymore.
I don’t care personally, don’t play proper alliance for nearly a year now and just do whatever story, events and side quests take my fancy. Sometimes go months without logging in.
I’m doing 8.1 still with r4 5*s so as long as 5/6* don’t get hard gated out I’m not bothered. I’d just treat it as another avenue to get missing champs I’d like to use. Should also boost 6* frequency and hopefully easier to awaken them via gem acquisition.
I’m actually looking forwards to solo incursions and relics seem like a version of incursion boosts/buffs which were generally pretty fun so I’m ok with those too.
If the Ascension system works like I think it'll work, I think 7* will ultimately work. However, I'm a little surprised that they didn't lead with the Ascension system way ahead of time. If they had introduced that system early so that players knew what it meant and how it would impact their roster, then I feel like the eventual announcement of 7*s could have gone a lot smoother. Players wouldn't have felt like they had to restart yet again, because they'd know how the transition would work.
But no, they announced them at the same time, giving players no opportunity to see the Ascension system in practice before having their rug pulled out from under them with the 7* announcement.
On the one hand, I find the 7 * Champs to be the next logical development step in the game. On the other hand, this step comes much too early for me. At the moment there isn't a single player who even has a single 6* R5 and we're already talking about 7*. Irrespective of that, I believe that the 7 * will not be a big issue for a long time. Most champs need a high sig level and before using a 7*R1 unduped I'd much rather play a 6* R 3 or R 4 or even in the Future a R 5 duped with a high sig-level. In addition, there is also the possibility to pimp the 6* with the relics, if that works. From my point of view, 7 * is not a real option in daily gameplay for a very long time. So I think it will take at least a year from introduction (Aunt 23) , until the 7* are really relevant for the Game and my Rooster.
My 6* roster was finally something to feel good about and in 5 months it'll be useless.
Sanest forum user.
6* will be still more usefull than 7* for at least 1-2 years, and even when 7* start to pop up more, it will take long time until 6* start to feel underwhelming, especially with the new ascending system.
But hey you quit because in few years you'll have something new to chase after. Such a great idea.

Wait, you quit because by spring next year you might have 1 7*? 1 7* will negate your entire 6* roster? Good riddance if you ask me.

That’s literally their game model.
I’m calling it now. A few years from now they’ll make 8s champs too.
It’s nothing new just a basic repeat of everything you’ve done before and loved before with a power creep to make it feel new.
Making 7s champs is probably the least surprising announcement in gears.
Some adjustments could've been made for sig levels so that sig 200 6* doesn't ascend to sig 200 7*
However starting the collection again just doesn't seem fun to me

The hardest content rn is simple enough w r3 6*s. We have big fat ZERO content for r4s, so I'd like to see hard content before moving on w ranks
