Unlocking Legendary characters

I'm sort of with you. I have only played it twice (the 2 times at the end of solo campaigns). I did extremely poorly then mainly because I had no idea what I was doing. I mostly solo stuff (will occassionaly play with friends). I am planning on getting my missus to help me on split screen though, and a mate is going to get the game and wants a bit of a hand. So getting the legendary stuff is probably going to be within my reach.

However I don't really want to spend 5 stars each time, and I'm not really keen to spend what appears to be an inordinate period of time in a horde style game mode - for the possibilty of getting some elite stuff. This reminds me far too much of other games (cough....... Destiny), and personally I thought PopCap and garden warfare were better than that. At the time they probably thought it was a great idea, but it just might come back to bite them on the bottom. Sometimes you can be a little too clever.

I think they should incorporate acquiring these legendary characters somehow into the main game/modes (not an add on mode tacked on at the end). I'm a 313'er so I'm more than happy to work for them, just not this way. If the dev wants to keep it the way it is - then like the rest of the game, they should open it up to playing with AI support, and definietly get rid of the star cost - that is a particualrly dumb idea.
