New store fix for Vaulting AND 5* dilution.

I’m hoping @Brigby will pass along this idea for a new store. When I (and others) talked to @Cthulhu in the original bonus heroes thread, the main request was that we wanted a way to get legendary tokens that had the older, vaulted characters in them. So far the devs have done vintage heroic tokens which have a chance at older characters, and Heroes for Hire store which lets you directly buy an older 4* with HP. These are nice steps, but what is missing compared to what many of us wanted is something more like legendary tokens – a 4* & 5* token that we can buy with Command Points. So here’s my suggestion, which I think addresses the vaulting as well as the dilution of older 5* characters in classic legendaries:

Rotating Themed Legendary Tokens

You could have a special temporary legendary store for like a week at a time, similar to the legendary stores when a new 5* is released, except with a limited pool of 5* and 4* characters that fit a theme such as team affiliation. I propose it would cost 25 CP and have two 5s at 5% chance each – the total chance at a 5 is then 10%, the same as the new release stores. You’re still paying a premium for the more targeted pool. Here’s some possible examples.

Spider Legends

5*s: Black Suit Spiderman and Green Goblin

4*s: Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Carnage, Venom, Kingpin, Agent Venom

X-men Legends

5*s: Old Man Logan and Phoenix

4*s: Cyclops, Iceman, Jean Grey, X-Force Wolverine, Professor X, X-23

Civil War Legends

5*s: Iron Man and Captain America

4*s: Hulkbuster, Winter Soldier, Sam Wilson, Ant-Man, War Machine, Captain Marvel (She was big in Civil War 2, right? Maybe someone else has better suggestions there.)

Cosmic Legends

5*s: Silver Surfer and Thanos

4*s: Starlord, Drax, Nova, Mr. Fantastic, The Thing, Moon Knight

Each of those examples has only six 4s, but if you want it to be more, like 12 to match the new legendary token style, you could add some 4s who don’t meet any of the other themes to each of them so that everybody is represented in at least one token. If a different themed legendary store was available for, say, the week between pvp seasons I would definitely be spending CP on them! There are plenty of older 5s I didn’t get fully covered and are now facing classics dilution, and this would also be a token to get more champion levels for older 4s, or finish covering them for newer players.

The idea of a Vintage Legendary Store has been proposed since the beginning of vaulting, but this is a more detailed proposal. I like it, but I doubt that they will take it because I haven’t seen them use any of our ideas to date.

It seems like the only things they implement are things we never suggested.

I really like this suggestion; it would meet the players’ needs, and it doesn’t seem like it would be a ton of work for the devs to implement it. @Brigby, please communicate this proposal to the development team!

unfortunately it will never happen because it doesn’t put the player base at enough of a disadvantage. The only changes they make these days seem to be ways to make it worse, so that we might use real money to try to avoid the crapstorm
