I find it quite disgusting that D3 has made no comment as of yet about the status of Season 4 (If there is even to be one).
Are they just taking a break in between S3 & S4? 1 day? 1 week?
Are they done with the Seasons altogether?
Why is there no communication as to whats happening?
With the recent rash of unpopular changes and updates this one is not helping them keep any good name they might have had left.
All I’m asking for is some sort of comment on the situation and I think everyone will agree.
Personally, I don’t think most care when it starts as long as it isn’t in the middle of the Heavy Metal event. I think everyone is enjoying the fact they don’t have to grind it for season points and can take a break… unless they want the LDaken covers. I know I’m taking it easy on this one.
I agree with what you said, but I can see where HawkeyeSucks is coming from. An announcement wouldn’t change how anyone is going to play in Heavy Metal, but it would still be nice to know what is coming up next. People generally just like to know what’s going on, and uncertainty can be unsettling. It’s also another thing to throw onto the “stealth change” pile, which while welcomed by probably almost everyone, the lack of communication is still an issue.
I’ll also “go on record” to say that I don’t like being kept in the dark on Season 4. At least post something, anything to let us know what might be going on.
^This.
I’m glad there’s a break between seasons (or is it a break?) however I can’t understand the lack of communication.
If no forum thread, at least a notification in game.
It’s just a game, nothing really serious but a game that is continuously incitating players to involve daily (or at least frequently)
Therefore, devs should not be surprised that players are quickly hungry for information about the state of the game!
Personally I’m not worried about it. It’ll start when it starts, enjoy the break while it lasts.
Though I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some internal debate over a new 4* being the top alliance rewards, or if a 2nd round of Fury’s is in order. Sure there are those who have dumped in the Iso and HP to max them, but I’m betting there are more unleveled Fury’s floating around with 1-3 covers of all different colors.
IF a new 4* is the alliance reward, does that mean we will start pulling Fury’s from standard & heroic tokens? Will we see him in place of the Baglady’s & X-Force covers for the 1-2 rank Individual rewards for any upcoming events?
IceIX mentioned at some point that the season rewards were just special “bonus” or “teaser” Fury rewards, and that he would have an official release event (i.e. PvE) just like any other new character. If they follow the release schedule they’ve been going by fairly recently, this Fury release PvE will be the next one in a couple days, and then it’ll be another 2-3 weeks or so until they add Fury, She-Hulk, and Johnny (or they might wait another 2 weeks for the next 3* after Fury also) to tokens. They might start offering Fury as the top placement reward as soon as right after his release tourney, but they might also reserve him for “special” events (i.e. ones no one would otherwise want to compete in).
