    War Machine and Spiderman are both top-tier too. Goliath also ranks pretty high. I think you have the same team-goal as Hitmanb.

    And right now there is an ongoing maintenance for the new update, so none of us can login.

    Not really, I disagreed with you and explained why. That's called disagreeing with someone, not being rude. Odds are the overwhelming majority of the human race would disagree with you about something, best not to take it personally.


    LOL, you said nothing about more characters or uniforms. I guess if we could read your mind, we might be able to be very generous in interpreting the above to imply you wanted more characters, but you most definitely did not even imply by association diddly about uniforms :)

    Your words, sparse though they were, complained at them dumping the new characters in lots vs. doling out (assumedly) the exact same characters one at a time every ~2 weeks.

    While it may not have been your intention, the only reason I could intuit someone complaining at releasing character sets as, well, a set vs. trickling them out is the "all you can eat buffet" complaint we often see where gamers essentially blame the developers for their lack of self control.

    Sorry I misinterpreted your rationale, but if you really are "the typical player", then the complaint becomes even more bizarre in some ways:

    If one assumes, somewhat generously, 1 bio per 9e spent in this game, then right now we have more than 225K worth of energy's unlockable characters (and am taking the arena and VS bios into account here). Assuming you don't buy energy, between natural, achievement, shield points, the free recharge, etc., about 500 energy per day is the outside available to players. In other words, just right now, we've got around 15 months of stuff to do for the "typical player" IF they play like this game is their oxygen. Anyone not playing to ~100% daily potential has an even longer endpoint...

    And that's if they stopped adding stuff right now. Of course, they aren't. In just the 16 weeks the game has been live we've seen them add two different sets of new missions with 8 GOTG characters and the 4 Ant-Man universe characters. We've seen them add the SHIELD Lab with alternative ways of getting stuff. We've seen them add in the dimension shifter mechanic. We've seen them add in new gear types. We're about to get a sort of co-op mode.

    So, although I can see how some people can and will get very bored the fundamental grindiness of this game's design, it is neither the amount, nor pace of release of content responsible for this, rather the slow pace of piecemeal unlocks for characters that keep a player repeating certain missions every day for months if they want to fully unlock a given character.

    It all depends. I bought two stark stash's since release and I have seven 5-star characters. Ronan/Giant Man (special stage), and War Machine, Black Widow, Luke Cage, Spiderman (3 elite stages + buying their bios), Green Goblin (chaos tokens + 3 stage farming = fast 5 star).

    3 stage x 60 days = 180 bios on average, buy a little bit from shop and you have a 5 star character every 2-3 months.

    Games that stay on top of grossing charts forever (Puzzles and Dragons in Japan, Clash of Clans) have very difficult end game contents where whales can really differentiate themselves. FF just doesn't have enough difficult contents. In arena you easily beat 6-star teams with 5-star teams, elite 8/villain siege is a joke once you get a well geared 5-star team, what else is there?

    I just hate to see Future Fight loses to vastly inferior games like Contest of Champions on the top grossing charts. Developer really need to make arena competitive and introduce more end game PVE contents and reward the best (biggest) players (spenders).

    Luckily, this game is still doing well in Korea (slipped out of top 10 however). Unlike 99% of the other mobile games, it is one single global server so as long as it continue to top the charts in Korea, we will get our contents. Hoping for good raid boss / alliance war contents.

    so in one sense, I will eat some crow. My comment about characters/uniforms was in a previous post, both blended in my mind. I do find your comments to be written in a manner that....lets say i interpreted as being rude. But it's neither here nor there. Bottom line is that i enjoy this game and want to continue doing so......

    Personally I'd recommend the new choice bios on the more non-easily farmable heroes! GM, WM and Spider-man are all super good, but the last 2 have 3 stages for bios and GM still has his special stages.
    any other rare'ish characters you have your eye on? My go-to right up there with Hulkbuster, is Malekith, he is the ultimate V.Siege Bullseye killer! Immune to slow and comboing his 2nd and 3rd skill take down tons of his health! Plus first skill teleport is pretty fun

    Wow they added a $9.99 IAP to instantly rank up anyone to 3 star? That is a little overboard lol.

    Haha maybe, though I would have preferred to be crystals it no doubt would have cost much more (counting current 550 crystals=$10 and it's like what 900 crystals for 70 bios in shop sale)
    anywho, it's kind of nice if you were short bios for a rare character though. Unfortunately, the only one I'm tempted with now is Hulkbuster, but he's 8 bios away from 5* so not worth it haha. -_-

    This game is becoming more and more P2W.

    Pay to win what exactly? Seriously laughable criticism for what is a (far less sophisticated) superhero Pokemon game.

    Haha you're not wrong. P2W was simply the easiest way to describe the fact that the game is becoming more and more overtly a money grab.

    Nothing wrong with companies wanting to make money, game development is a business after all. Just hate the f2P model where they beat us over the head with what feels like begging.

    Well if you're a whale, you can buy gold with crystals too, don't forget. As I've said before, the biggest thing stopping whales getting powerful highly ranked and leveled characters fast is not getting experience given by using clear tickets, and the fact that experience chips aren't that effective. And even if they do abuse the $10 deal, it's still going to cost them, what, around $80 per 6 star character? Then on top of that they need to work out some way to get enough stones for their masteries, and to level them up. If they pay actual money for all of that, it's going to still be very steep... Oh and don't forget changing to a good ISO set (more gold) and ISO itself...

    And even once they do all that .. Arena is going to be much harder unless they have unlocked pretty much every character (like most people in the top have) due to the bonuses and lack of team depth means support characters won't be effective. Villain Siege is also only going to be beatable for the first 3 levels assuming they have 3 beastly characters, and no one much else. Plus, they still have to play through every normal and elite level once to 3* and unlock bonus levels, and multiple times per level for daily and special and dimension rifts to unlock the higher level ones of those.

    Once you look at all that, it's probably not as much pay to progress as one would think .. sure, people can have nice shiny 6* heros comparatively easily .. but a kitted out, formidable 6* hero is another thing entirely.
