I'm off for a week(ish) but before I go I wanted to drop the outline for the next big Marquee event we will be running in late January (tentative). This is the event where you will be able to unlock E...

For event 1 & 2 consider adding in a super duper murderous bonus tier with a first time reward of enough shards to raise them to four stars. For event three a murderous bonus tier that brings them up to five stars, that still leaves 185 shards to collect and it does make the characters semi useful.
The reason i suggest this is the following... $100 buys you roughly ten refreshes in event four. That's one hundred sims. if it's JUST Faust and Erasmus then this one hundred dollars stands a reasonable chance of finishing them out, but as you add more characters to the probability table the odds go down pretty severely. Personally, I like the murderous bonus tiers so much I'd even be happy if you lowered the shards to 2-5 or even 2-4 as long as it's truly even odds and not like the odds of getting 100 falcon shards ;)
Still, I like this introduction system and if you don't change a thing it's still light years better than the tourney introduction, which is sad because I do like the tourneys just not the cheating and the unevenness of being able to obtain usable characters.
I also like making the murderous bonus tiers, so... you're welcome... I guess? =P
I've been thinking of adding a bonus tier to the 4th event, but there's a lot of weird limitations in our system for rigging up content so I'm going to investigate when I get back from holiday. As for the shard dilution, I'm pushing to keep it at 3 units: Faust, Erasmus, and (probably) Shoretrooper. That way no matter what, you're getting shards of one of the hot new units, without the frustrating experience of just getting a whole lot of random junk. That means that most spenders would probably need to spend on average $300 to just "buy" Erasmus and Faust with refreshes (yes, they'd be functionally unlimited). That's actually pretty cheap compared to similar offerings in competitors games (relatively speaking). Ultimately though the rewards quantities, drop percentage, and refresh schema are a collaborative effort so the fine details are likely to change.
