I’m still holding out hope that whatever new character(s) we get is permanent in game obtainable content and not tied into a tower event, if that is our next “event”.
That way I don’t have to participate in a multi week tower event just to collect enough EC for items for ONE new character. Let tower events be a way for newer, or casual players get characters/buildings they don’t have and let the players who do continue their event break. Or better yet, let us still collect items for said character thru regular game play, and any EC earned can buy items to speed up the process. Either way, make it so we can get the character even if we don’t participate in the tower event.
