The Family Legends CP store returned as it expired 2 days ago. The store length is 28 days. It sits above LTs and Classics so every time I want to open one of those I’m scrolling past this FL store. Every time it runs out, it returns.
I have a screenshot from Dec 18 showing it had 8 days left. I am not fully sure when it started - probably late November but this means it’s been in game constantly for at least 5 months. Every time it’s been 28 days or 4 weeks long.
On the one hand, it’s nice to have an option to use CP somewhere besides LTs and Classics. But it seems like it would be better if some rotation of characters occurred. If this is an intentional thing, to offer a 25 CP store with 3 old 5s weighted and some 4s (12 in this case) weighted (differently than Classics), then rotation would be appreciated.
It just annoys me, personally, at this point. Can it be turned off, or some character rotation occur for the next one? Or like at minimum have it only appear for a few days every 4 weeks? Anything besides this eternal store.
Also in general novelty is the thing that spurs interest and engagement in games…this is just the same thing, constantly there.
I hate it because it gives me hope of something new in the rotation. Then it comes back and destroys that hope and I remember this game is like that first ex people have that they think they can change. They aren’t going to change, but you can keep on hoping.
Edited to add apologies for not using burger or bank references. I understand that is a break from protocol. I am ashamed of myself in hindsight.
I thought routine was the most important thing, and novelty was what drove players away.
If this store is permanent I think that’s great, but it’s not designed for us. It’s functionally a non-rotating Latest, that gives new players a chance to get covers for Strange and PX, who are still pretty useful (and also Jessica Jones I guess).
Isn’t token pool dilution this huge problem that they MUST figure out for new players or they’ll all quit? This gives them a permanent non-diluted token.
I also would like a change. Love Strange, and I even need to cover ProfX! But I don’t want to use all my CP to keep pumping up Strange (who I don’t use all the time) and JJ (who I only use when she is required).
Something they would never do, but I feel like the fanbase would love: Pick 3 LT. You select the three 5*s that are in the pack and then you would use all your CP!
That’s been one of the most popular requests since they split Latest and Classic tokens. It would probably cost closer to 50CP if they ever did it, but I’m not sure why it never happened.
We might be more likely to see this as 6 roll out, because 5 will become more and more irrelevant.
My guess is that they’ve never done a pick 3 legend vault because it would be too difficult for them to code. It seems like things we’ve always assumed should be pretty simple have turned out to be giant tasks.
Yeah I think the closest we’ll get to a pick vault is either the classic legends that we used to vote on (I don’t think they’ve let us vote in a while? Maybe I missed it).
Or they could do a vault of pick tokens like they do for “choose the reward” bundles and stuff. Fill it with 100-200 items that and make it reset for free. Put the tokens in with 4* covers in whatever ratio the family legends has. Obviously not a perfect compromise but a compromise nonetheless
They haven’t done a Classic poll since last year in May or June because Today’s News is still Yesterday’s Functional Button and there’s no way to direct people to a poll from the game.
But they could theoretically do one again if they get things working.
6 days left on the current one, I guess we’ll see what happens then.
To me the most obvious solution would be to have a rotating legendary store that is tied to the season pass in some way. (There are always 4* costumes so why not the characters that go with it?)
We now also have a month long heroic boost list, so could easily tie to that too… would certainly be a good incentive to spend that cp.
I really think the purpose of this store is specifically that it’s non-rotating. For players trying to cover their first 5 that don’t want to hoard, this is the best way to do it. They can pull as they go against this store and get these 3 covered eventually. Rotating the store would screw them over.
I’m still not clear on why it seems to bother so many people here. Can’t you just ignore it? Does everything have to be for you?
I think it’s funny that we get so many concern-trolling posts saying “but think of the new players!” and then when they do something that’s ACTUALLY great for new players (and specifically NOT for vets) the reaction is “make it be for me!”
No one is fully right and no one is fully wrong about this but it’s odd in a game which always has rotating and new characters and vaults to have the same exact set of characters in a story for 5 or 6 months in a row.
So it seems somewhat unintentional. If they left a similar store always there and it changed every 4 weeks it would create more urgency for people to use CP and maybe spend a little sometimes.
There are pluses and minuses to it but it’s definitely weird in the scope of the game.
Don’t forget a LOT of players got the 1A5 Juggs from the vault in December just before the new Devs took over. Practically day 1 players got tokens for that vault. I imagine the number of players with a 1A5 Juggs (and thus number of players with a 5 star champ) dramatically increased after that vault.
Whether it’s a mistake or not, I think it’s highly likely that it’s helping some of those all-important “new players” (their highest priority, right???) cover 5 without hoarding.
But yeah, they should probably get rid of it (or rotate it, which would be the same thing for new players) because it’s super annoying for vets to take a half a second to scroll past it.
roll out, because 5
