Hi Everyone,
Here are the season updates for the Mind Gem Season, starting on January 11th:
Pack Rotation
America Chavez will become a Latest 4-Star
Cloak & Dagger will become a Vintage 4-Star
Angel (All-New X-Men) will be entering packs
Characters
Gambit sell-back prices will be returning to the normal 5-Star & 3-Star sell-back prices.
Is the 3* Gambit price also returning to normal?
Sounds like a very unexciting season.. I was hoping to start the new year with some rebalances. Poor 3* Punisher has been shooting with a water gun
I’ve edited the article to show that both Gambits are likely to change at the same time back to their original sell-back price.
Wow, went all out this season…
Guess they were too busy counting the money from digi day to make any changes?
Seriously tho, no updates, no rebalances, no bug fixes. What exactly are they doing?
Or they just didn’t have any updates ready to implement this month. Nevermind that it wasn’t all that long ago when there were no updates or rebalances EVER. We aren’t entitled to one every month, and nobody benefits from you insinuating that they aren’t doing their jobs.
This is the third season in a row without character rebalances, no? Can anyone provide insight into why this might be? Since they started the rebalances they have only skipped one season at most, and normally offer one to three rebalances (two being the typical number.)
No 3* Gambit buffs huh.
I think Gambit was rebalanced in December (second last season). It caused an uproar all over the forum. I’m surprised that you didn’t catch that.
Kraven would be a new playable character and I suppose it might rebalance the game since many players complained about Medusa/G4mora/R4G.
I’m pretty new to this game, so I guess my expectation from D3 is comparably lower than the seasoned players.
I was hoping to see new 5* champion rewards for a few more 4*s
The Gambit update is technically a rebalance I suppose, although that was done as an emergency update, so to speak. Typically they have two character rebalances of older characters attached to the start of each PvP season. 4* characters are the usual focus, but we get the occasional 3* and rarer 5* update as well. I believe there have been one or two changes to 2* or below characters bundled into these before as well, as a third character update. There is probably an official list of rebalances somewhere but I can’t find it.
I haven’t seen an official list, like something posted separately that players can reference, so I’m working on one, but in the meantime, a quick list.
Season XXXII - Silver Surfer & Amadeus Cho
Power Gem 1 - Star Lord & 3* Champ Reward Updates
Time Gem 1 - Invisibly Woman
Reality Gem 1 - Miles Morales
Soul Gem 1 - Steve Rogers (First Avenger)
Mind Gem 1 - Mr. Fantastic & Sam Wilson (Falcon)
Space Gem 1 - Wasp & Spider-Gwen
Power Gem 2 - Elektra, Carnage, and Old Man Logan
Time Gem 2 - Carnage and Drax
Reality Gem 2 -
Soul Gem 2 - Venom (Eddie) and Spider-Man (Classic)
Mind Gem 2 - Riri Williams and Mordo
Space Gem 2 - Ghost Rider and Kingpin
Power Gem 3 -
Time Gem 3 - Nick Fury and Psylocke
Reality Gem 3 -
Soul Gem 3 - Gambit and Gambit
Mind Gem 3 -
So, 17 normal seasons + Power Gem 3 (which was short, but when combined with the Infinity Season and Anniversary fills out about the same amount of space as a normal season), and we have:
four 5* updates (Surfer, Cap, OML, Gambit)
seventeen 4* updates (Cho, SL, IW, Miles, MrF, Wasp, Spider-Gwen, Elektra, Carnage x2, Drax, Eddie, Riri, Mordo, GR, Kingpin, Fury)
four 3* updates (Falcon, Spidey, Psylocke, Gambit).
a stealth 1* Spider-Man change in the middle of all that that they never announced or explained
So we’re just about averaging a 4* per season, with bonus 3s/5s thrown in, even when they take a season off.
Sorry my questions don’t align with your principles. Thankfully this is a forum where we’re allowed to ask questions, and I’m sorry you think it unfair to wonder aloud what they’re doing.
Strange sights still busted, boosted banner still broken, a number of other bugs still awaiting some attention. Lots of characters awaiting some long overdue rebalance. It’s now 2 season in a row nothing has been changed at all.
And 5* gambit still irrecoverably OP.
They’re busy making sure that their second pass will completely gut Gambit.
And coming up with a fourth in game currency to purchase 6*s with.
I guess it’s time to dismantle the 3* Gambit farm. Had a good run though - five Gambits harvested, that’s Three new roster spots since it coincided with the roster slot discount.
And no action taken to tone down 5* Gambit. Looks like PvP will be equally unplayable for another season unless you’re lucky enough to have him already champed.
What a monster slap in the face. No rebalances/buffs/5* champion feeders with the upcoming season … no nerf to god-mode gambit (rendering another season of unplayable staleness as mentioned above).
Looks we have yet another lazy season where we all fight like crazy for weeks on end for a measly heroic pack that usually yields mostly 2*. We give this game gold and we get peanuts in return.
I have never seen such an expensive, time consuming game give back so little in return. Not to mention all the bugs & glitches left untouched too. Woof.

What about new 4* progression rewards?
