POLL: How will the growing backlog of characters be released

[system]

C’mon, D3. It’s not that difficult.

[system]

I’m hoping for an overhaul; I think indecision might be the most likely of those, though.

I think going into the tokens regularly is the least likely, because there’s no reason it should have taken this long if that’s all they’re going to do.

[system]

I would like to think an overhaul is going to happen as well. at least sometime. Hopefully arounf anivercery time.

[system]

Should have made 2 choices available. I believe they will be released at the anniversary AND there will be a new type of token system.

[system]

Obviously the last choice is the correct answer.

Based on the back-and-forth in the 1-year anniversary thread, it looks like “paralyzed by indecision” is the real answer.

ICE will we finally see a fix to the heroic tokens be rolled out in r62?

I am up to 98 heroic tokens and no longer need any of the covers available in the tokens…

I don’t think that’ll be connected to a client side change. That doesn’t mean that we couldn’t roll it out with R62, same day for a bit more impact, just that we don’t necessarily have to tie it to that.

Can we get some sort of a hint as to what’s going on with tokens? I don’t need specific and day/date, just a general sense of what’s going on (if anything). There hasn’t been a peep about it in months.

All the word I can give you at the moment is that it’s actively on the boards for implementation. What that actually means though is that we’re discussing an poring over numbers as to the “right” way to do things. The big problem that we’ve run into (that gets worse as we go on) is adding so many characters to a pack means that each character has so little chance that players can never collect them all without being a real estate tycoon or an oil baron (or both). That’s obviously not good for the game. But then, so is not having the characters available at all. I’m 100% sure that we’ll share info about a solution when we have a solid one that we’re going to implement. We just don’t have that one quite yet.

Sooooooooooooo true. Speculation confirmed. Guess it’s time to shut down the poll since we have the answer straight from the Ice’s mouth.

I really really wanted to vote for 2 options (the 2 leading options).

[Katai]

I really hope they don’t decide to create a whole new set of tokens. I have so many heroics saved up, and I really only need 1 Sentry cover and maybe a Daredevil cover from the current set.

[CrookedKnight]

If they did that the most reasonable way to proceed would be to let us redeem Heroic Tokens from either pile, but IIRC they’ve already shot down that concept as too unfriendly to less-crazy players who don’t check the token percentages.

Crafting. All the cool ccgs do it.
