You may not like 8* but would really invigorate the game

New raid requires 8* for heroic for g13 or something but 7 * rewards would have to be good.

Whales and dolphins be mad refreshing again (bring back 8 attemtps permanantly). Drain on credits, could affect arena rankings (debateable) depends who people choose to 8* first arena team or raid teams

Give day 1 whales and people with Nothing to do something to do.

All the refrshes and stuff boosts CG income while we are in this marquee chase drought

Be honest lots of people would moan and complain but after a month or two. Or once ppl hitting 8* raid tier that would settle down profits up game gets another 3 years

  • Just no.
  • LOL, you are overlooking the simple fact the devs have categorically stated that eight stars will never happen.


    Now if you want to truly cause a mass exodus of players, Asking for an eighth star will do that in a blink. After converting hundreds of excess shards to gear, deciding an eighth star is needed would be the worst decision possible lol.

    Interesting idea. I know that the stash of credits I have would be missed since I would have to re-upgrade my characters. However, it might be interesting to see 8* raids. Those could be the Mythic raids that everyone was talking about a few months ago, and have increased difficulty in Rancor since most guilds just sim it at this point, with HAAT likely to get that ability sooner rather than later. Personally, I wouldnt mind it too much other than the fact that I would have to go back to every single character node that I have been at.

    One issue that I see with this is legendary characters and journey characters. Would you have to go back into their respective events to 8* them? Would CG boost the last level's reward of shards up (and give all players who already have them at 7* shards in the inbox)? If players have to go back into their event, is Mythic closed off until they get 8*? Or could it be like getting Capital ships to 7*, and you have to 8* them through the Mythic events?

    I think this is interesting, but I can see a few problems arising from going down this route. Personally, I think 8* would be a fun and interesting way for players (like myself) who are running out of characters to 7* to get back into the game and invest in the game more.

    I can’t imagine having to go back to all the farming locations I’ve done for another 150ish shards. It would definitely make me quit.

    HARD PASS. Half the reason people declare Marvel Strike Force to be trash is precisely because they threw in the ability to go beyond seven stars, requiring ridiculous amounts of shards to do so.

    I have 151 7-star characters. You want me to farm what, another 125 shards for every single one of them? No. Screw that.

    Won’t happen,

    Lvl 90 to 100 and gear 13 is 100% coming.

    No. Just no. Especially considering that they are doing all they can to hinder shard farming. Just imagine having to get 150 - 200 more shard from a single hard node...

    Horrible idea. Devs stated 7* is maxed case closed.

    If I am honest, I dont remember the Devs stating that 7* is max. Im fine if that is the case.

    I think we can all agree that first half of thread title is right, second half is wrong.

  • They'd have to either rework every legendary and journey event to either drop extra shards, add a while extra level or two, or do the coding that adds the toons for GET once you 7*. That sounds like way more work than bumping the level cap up or adding a new gear tier or two that could achieve the same result.

    The only thing I dislike is this useless suggestion and it’d really invigorate my game if no more useless suggestions were suggested.

    If youre really that hard up for something to farm make an alt. Dont suggest things that harm 99% of the playerbase and adds yet another reason for new players to never start this game

    I'm sorry....figured these boards are filled with 299 useless suggestions....

    Ask for ship stuff for 2 years you don't get it.... why would they do this.

    That's the best part of these boards... no matter what you say or do NOTHING will change

    so worry not youngling I can make all the useless suggestions I want..... because in the end...it' dont' matter cause they dont' care upstairs what we say for the "most" part

    Remember Gear 12..... DEV - "we have NO INTENTION of releasing G12 anytime soon" 2-3 weeks later

    DEV- "We are proud to announce G12"

    They can say whatever they want.... They are going to do what they are going to do irregardless of suggestions we make OR the STATEMENTS they make.... It is what it is

    They say things then go back on it and in the end that means one thing..... ANYTHING can happen at anytime.

    I can recommend somewhere cheap for ink. Is it just cyan? Are you OK for magenta, black and yellow?

    You've already been told by other people why they will never do 8*. If you want to bring up something I either don't remember or wasn't around for, while ignoring the other posts, ok.

    But to your last point, why make a suggestion if you know they will do whatever they want regardless of what you suggest?

    The difference is that they didn't say they were never adding g12, just they weren't adding it just then. And it was longer than 2-3 weeks between the two statements. They have explicitly stated that they will never go beyond 7*, because the game is not programmed to allow for it.

    I have two thoughts on this.

    1. Why?
    2. NO

    I mean, who doesn't want to farm an additional (atleast) 100 shards on a single fleet node to max out Nest and b1? That would really invigorate the game for me !
    haha
