Yet again another character release on the horizon. This issue is not solved. DDQ is not the solution. It’s barely a band-aid fix.
Umm…you’re waiting for Godot, holmes. They’ve made it pretty clear that roster slot costs are not a problem in their eyes. And I can see their logic. Just let it go. The only thing that will likely change their minds is when the game hits that tipping point that people start dropping out left and right because of it.
Well D3 expect you to either spend real money on the game or have a depleted roster. I know people want everything to be available for free with no compromises, but someone has to pay for the game or it goes out of business.
They have introduced things like Deadpool Daily to make it easier to get covers, which reduces cover purchases and pack purchases. Is there any element of the game you are actually willing to spend money on?
How would you handle that? Have the purchaser select a tier when they buy the slot, and then only characters of that tier can go in there?
If they made that change, would pre-filled slots get tied to that tier? If you had a 1* on your roster, would you be locked in to only ever being able to have a 1* in that slot?
I don’t think you’d ever have empty roster slots. When you hit the “recruit” button, it would charge you for whichever tier you are adding. When you hit the “delete character” button, that roster slot goes away completely.
bumping this back up because there is a new character release, surprise surprise, and this is still one of the biggest problems affecting players in this game.
Had to laugh when I read this.
So, you mean like now?

I know that this is the day and age of disc locked content / downloadable content, but still there is no way in Hades that a character should EVER cost you $5.
I voted for 400, because $5 is like 550 in this game correct?
And even if a super awesome character is an okay expense at $5 for a Playstation or an Xbox, this is an app…on our telephones. lol. Not only that, but you also may be spending that $5 on a freaking 2* that is an essential or even a 1* (eventually), which is in no way shape or form worth $5, to begin with.
A mess.
You should check out Marvel Heroes. Characters there require loads of bringing to unlock or to be purchased outright with cash. They just released Doom, who I wanted to play as since release, it cost $20 just for him.
Would be nice to have an extra roster slot as some sort of reasonably obtainable reward if they are too lazy to do the math and adjust additional slot prices.
…Woops sorry I must’ve dozed off and typed this while dreaming. 
Spending 850 to add carnage is going to hurt, but will still leave me enough for shields this season. I need some luck in DDQ or something to build back up.. if they release another char this season, he/she/it may end up on the bench.
Didn’t read through this, but here is my general feeling:
I wouldn’t have a problem with charging progressively more for roster slots if there were no essential characters. Having a large roster is not just a nice bonus, but a necessity to be competitive (or even participate) in all events. I think roster slots should be given away as daily progression rewards - every 14 or 30 days you get a roster slot, something like that.
I think the biggest improvement they should make is awarding roster slots with new character releases. So when bust your ass for 7 days straight to get top 50 in the new 4* release, you not only get your shiny new character, but also a free roster slot for him. It’s unfair to charge such ridiculous sums for a complete roster - necessary to finish all essential nodes (even moreso now that they are adding a lot of 2* and 4* characters as essentials).
To reiterate what has been stated, multiple times, above: DPDQ is NOT the answer to roster slots. DPDQ is luck based, and as with tokens for compensation, random is NOT good.
Personally, Ive cashed in every Taco possibly earned so far (in batches) and Ive pulled the 250HP exactly 6 times, and never the 1kHP. If my math is right, that is 110 days worth (so 220 Tacos) and it hasnt even earned me enough for two roster slots…and I dont have every char!
Before anyone starts, yes, Ive pulled some 3*s from those Tacos as well and they should be factored into the value though very, very few have actually been useful for me. As purely another way to get HP for slots…its an epic failure.
May video: We’re capping roster slots “where players feel it’s comfortable”.
Um…1K is not what people are voting/saying is comfortable.
Just like their definition of “Fun” is unrecognizable to most of us
“Comfortable” probably means something different to them too.

What they meant was “where we feel players will be comfortable”. Clearly they can’t read our minds or feelings, but they do their best to give us a balance between what we actually want, and what they think we will accept.
Clearly none of us wanted True Healing, but you can not deny the effect it has had on the game, up to and including the soon to be 10 health pack storage system. Yes while we might want the cost to be capped lower (lets face it, it’s in our best interest to push for the cap to be as low as possible), I can accept 1,000 as a nice round cutoff.
A number where most players haven’t reached yet is clearly the sensible choice on their end, so they don’t have to deal with “I paid over X HP and I want my HP back! Wah wah wah! Rabble Rabble!” threads. Right now, Slot 80 costs 1,000, and soon everything above 80 is coming at a discount. Given that 2s are becoming required more and there are currently 82 characters (including 7 1s) and no signs of that number ever stopping, I will accept a slot 80+ discounts.
1K? How…entirely unreasonable.
Never change, devs.
I just wish roster slot can be more affordable once you reach past 60. It’s definitely getting more difficult to spend on hp when I would personally spend that gold on covers that I need for max optimal builds for Iron fist or black panther.
