I am pre-emptively mourning the Spidey nerf because he can completely shut down a 141 Pun by himself

Jeff, count yourself lucky with your 10-pack.

The Spider-man changes are terrible. The only buff is higher heal without webtiles -- who cares. A 3/5/5 Spidey will act somewhat like a current 2/2/2.

5 open roster spots, 150 hp
Picked up a hood cover, a new lazy thor, two rags; levelled out hulk and classic mags and hood/lazy thor. Think i'm gonna focus on levelling up/out ragnarok until i get another three star cover; this krakadoom nonsense seems likely to repeat in whatever season 2 is.
High level punisher/hulk/ares plus whatever combo they stick me with plus OGBW means this sentry competition isn't that bad just now; kinda digging the new comic canon accurate, villain perspective storyline (even when the writing is shit).

And I just got a black panther card from a standard pull. Always nice to see that gold cover flash on the screen.

I miss when an event finished and you got your rewards within the next fortnight.

was waiting for the inevitable Sentry storyline

It bugs me in this game the progression awards don't progress in terms of quality.

I haven't hit a gold cover in forever, sure makes it tough to give a f tbh :/

I'm sitting on 11 tokens (combination of standard and heroic) with vague hopes of waiting for Lazy Daken to become pullable.

spent the week taking Model 40 to 128. just BARELY got a Lazy Thor from the Lazy Daken tourney, so I took him up to his level max. still thinking hard about just buying Pun's last green cover, but if I could pull 2 Psylockes from the Raga tourney then I could take her to 141. patience patience.

I GUESS I could get on the Rags & put him at 102 but I don't really see that as giving me much of an edge even in the Ragman tourney. I won't use his green or red over Pun's, so why bother?

ah shit, no, even with 2 Psylockes I can only get her to 128. damn.

Just been randomly blowing 500 ISO on standard pulls. Gotten several 2 stars, which I don't need, but I have so much ISO, may be worth it to drop 20k or so. I'd be guaranteed to get at least 4000 ISO back if I got all 1 stars and sold it all back.

eh whyyy, it's so easy to get standard tokens in events/lightning rounds. i have 40-something just sitting in the corner, i try to leave some in the bank as they usually take some time to add the new characters in to the rotation

I get all those, but then I buy some , I have more. I'm just looking to turn the numbers over quicker so I can eventually land some more 3 stars.

Some people on D3 feel that the results from bought tokens are better than reward tokens, though I don't think they've gone as far as tracking their results.

I haven't pulled a gold star from a standard token in a long time now; for a while they were dropping a bunch. luck? or...something else?

duh duh DUH

3* pulls have only been 2.92% for me, so it's a long ass wait between gold stars

they require Lazy Daken for some of the Sentry missions. bah.

here *gives u a gold star <3*

Nhex, you've been outperforming the spreadsheet rate (2.55%)! Meanwhile, I've been pulling 1.88%.

Feelin u on teh Lazy Daken Sentry missions, but at least the ever elusive green Ares seems within reach.

What's your sample size, Leee? I definitely got closer to the sheet values as my inputs went up; currently at 789 tokens.

319. About a hundred pulls ago, I was actually under 1% and then hit a bumper crop of 3* pulls, so yeah, the probabilities converge to ~1/40 in the long(er)-run.

NB I didn't start keeping track from the very beginning, so that may have skewed my "real" numbers.

I'm pretty sure they've tweaked drop rates in the last 6 months so it's probably not a very accurate collection for me anyway, since they added new cards every two weeks. I think they straight up said the rates had changed a week or so ago - interesting that for Heroic and other packs now they actually tell you the % drop rate for each card now, which is shockingly magnanimous for a F2P game

standard token drop rates def "seem" to have gone down; I've barely gotten anything but one stars recently, and it wasn't always like that

Agonising whether to shield in top 10 for the two Psylocke cover, because I'm pretty close to being able to buy a new slot for the Alliance.

SHIELD YRSELF imo

Similar boat as aldo -- how much is a new alliance slot?

early for shielding no?

I'm @ w3rk how dare you imply that I'm playing rn <_<

I guess the real question is if we have the HP, if we should use it on ourselves vs. buying another alliance slot.

Dropped out of the top 20 while I dithered, but some of the shields above me when I started thinking about it are out of the top 10 too zo it's irrelevant imo, people are grinding their way in. Will just play it till the end, since it finishes UK time.

Yeah, that was my plan to. Six pm DK-time. But there's a film I want to see. And just the fact that I slightly think 'hm, dilemma' makes me certain that I really have to go to the cinema. Otherwise it's all over...

never worth it to shield until 8hrs in i find, and typically 3.

early shielders tend to get passed up by the end anyway.

yep

I'll probably shield this one but not until the end. reaaaaaaly want top 10 but what I really reaaaaaallly want is the black cover but our alliance doesn't have the power for that.

Who else wants to join the alliance? Hands?

Speak up, because I'm really tempted to take a vacation from MPQ for a bit and squander my hoarded Hero Points

I also am going to ease off a bit. Kinda bored.

Beginning to think I should have shielded at 800 points - every time I take 5 minutes away I lose 40-odd points, struggling to stay top 50 now.

I am 25 away from being able to buy a new alliance slot if we need it btw.

With this new storyline, I'm wondering if we'll finally find out if the Void actually was an original biblical plague, or whatever that nonsense was about. Man, those Avengers books were bad...

player rank #51 in season one. aaaarrgghhg so close to another 10-pack.

Well, I got that wrong...

Saw I had dropped to 48 and saw 5 grinding players within 10 points. Unshielded with 2 minutes to go to play an easy fight against 2 mid 20s level 1 stars...

Made the first match then never played again as it destroyed lvl 85 Ares and OBW with cascades.

Ended up at 51. Arse.

I also betrayed the ILX alliance. joined another one so that my season 1 score got us a Nick Fury (reward pending) and a black Psylocke (which I REALLY wanted). player rank #202 in season 1.

I'm hurt.

D:

I didn't know that was an option!

felt less bad about the betrayal since it seems like ILXors are losing interest in this game. whereas for me it's a perfect game, esp since in just over a week I'll be leaving the country for a year+ so all my gaming will be mobile. & I've spent many recent summers playing match 3s, including PQ1 & PQ2.

The recent changes to the game have made it very hard for me to get top 50 in any of the pvp challenges with my ** guys, and the alliance isn't even getting top 200s. And the allure of leveling up my new Spiderman is suddenly less strong.

When they nerf Spider-Man that's gonna be a heavy blow. This might sound thin, but the game takes so long to load compared to other mobile games, that if I'm going to do only one or two battles it almost doesn't feel like it's worth opening the app; know what I mean?

Definitely sad about our alliance doing so crappy but what can you do...

Jex u will feel my wrath
