Thanks for bringing it back.
I have to say though that the difficulty level has been ridiculously low so far, at least in the stages up to A (I have not advanced further).
This is not something that was changed during the downtime, but was evident since beginning of the third "season".
Much of the fun was that you really had to think who to chose and who to save for the next battle, figuring out how to make weak characters win by combining their strengths.
Now you can just waltz through the battles with any combination of lvl 100 chars, provided they have a good talisman set, since the opponents are so weak.
Lvl 60 4-stars should not be opponents in Gauntlet, this kills the fun for me.
No real challenge anymore...
