Gift Horse, Mouth, Me. Dismiss all? Seriously?

DB just added an option to dismiss one or all of the characters pulled at the portal more easily.
Gee, thanks DB.
Basically, this is them saying "We know you keep getting fully fused drops and beholds, but we don't care about that and aren't going to address it. Here's a way to get rid of them faster so you can keep buying more useless packs."
How about that "Refresh" option on beholds like you just added to the Dabo wheel?
EDIT: Granted, it's useful, I'll give them that. It's pretty annoying to sit there and dismiss 10 characters from my crew screen while making sure I don't airlock existing crew by accident. Thank you, I guess?

I don't dispute that! It's great. Hence the "gift horse in the mouth" thing. What I'm saying is that it basically amounts to them saying "we know you're going to get nothing useful out of this expensive pack. Instead of addressing that, we're going to make it easier for you to throw away." It sidesteps the other issue.
I understood you on that one. I just didn't want to re-hash that part in detail - but yeah, it's incredibly annoying (and purchase-suppressing), but I can't envision them ever changing it.
It just hurts a little more now that they gave it to us at the Dabo table. Would a refresh button on a behold be so different? What's the phrase, insult to injury?
nice as I am I will tell you a "well guarded" secret:
Characters up to superrare can be aquired in many different game modes. So, "shocking, shocking", dublicates of cards with a high droprate and many ways to get them are the most normal thing in any kind of card collecting thingie. Go to your local store, buy football cards of the season packs. And it will happen to you already on day 1.
But that here dublicates of lower level cards happen to long term players like you is, again, "shocking, shocking"
Tze, finally you have your so desired crew slots. And still not happy and complainy, lol.
Thank you for knowing me well enough to know how happy I was to get the crew slots.
In any case, seeing as I was the one with the initial idea of the "reshuffle" option on the beholds, I feel like this is something I of all people am uniquely required to point out. Whether it applies to me personally or not.
And the behold reshuffle... With all the ad stuff they've done, I'd say we have a solid mechanism for it.
Seriously DB, are you listening to your customers? We need more shiny lights! You solved the shuttle problem everyone was upset about by making every shuttle a winner, why don't you do that for pack pulls?
Frankly, while we're on this topic, I think the honour rewards for duplicate crew are a little too much. They should be scaled back a bit. Maybe we can get a couple thousand credits per crew instead? One can dream!
I had to dismiss 1,400+ crew after the recent portal update. This would have been very handy! I’m very happy to see this QOL change.
Took a screenshot of the EV Burnham and age of sail Crusher I pulled in one pack and I accidentally activated it while swiping my screen!! I put in a support ticket I hope I can get that Burnham back! I've been skunked on the last few developer packs no rain Robinson or Gary seven.
Screenshot of shame for reference:

Whoa... wait a second... so you’re saying using the “auto dismiss” button means they don’t go into that temp buffer where you can recover them like a regular dismissal?
No need to be careful at all. All dismissed crew is showing here and can be reactivated. Of course only within a certain timeframe.
I wrote the same thing above but in the other thread he suggests they don’t show up there... want to confirm if that’s true.
They did when I tested it with credit pulls
He simply just waited too long to get them back and check.
You only have 4hs to get dismissed crew back into ur crew quarters.
I just panicked and didnt even think of looking in the airlock thanks to the quick thinkers though my embarrassment kept me from posting earlier.
I've got to say, when I first saw this, my first thought was "how many people are going to accidentally click it and put in a ticket", but I too completely forgot about the "buffer".
I was hoarding packs for quite some time. I kept buying offers and getting portals from events but I was not cashing any of them in because I was waiting for the portal to be updated with new crew. So once it got updated I had quite a bit of fun cashing them all in
Lol, I bet!
