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.

Nhex, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 18:06 (nine years ago) link

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.

Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Tuesday, 20 May 2014 18:19 (nine years ago) link

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

Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Tuesday, 20 May 2014 18:25 (nine years ago) link

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

Nhex, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 18:28 (nine years ago) link

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.

Daniwa, guys! Daniwa! (aldo), Tuesday, 20 May 2014 19:12 (nine years ago) link

SHIELD YRSELF imo

hella good Jewish homies (DJP), Tuesday, 20 May 2014 19:13 (nine years ago) link

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

Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Tuesday, 20 May 2014 19:23 (nine years ago) link

early for shielding no?

Euler, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 19:28 (nine years ago) link

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.

Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Tuesday, 20 May 2014 19:32 (nine years ago) link

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.

Daniwa, guys! Daniwa! (aldo), Tuesday, 20 May 2014 19:37 (nine years ago) link

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...

Frederik B, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 19:59 (nine years ago) link

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

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

wat is teh waht (s.clover), Tuesday, 20 May 2014 21:43 (nine years ago) link

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.

Euler, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 21:46 (nine years ago) link

Who else wants to join the alliance? Hands?

sitting on a claud all day gotta make your butt numb (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 20 May 2014 22:27 (nine years ago) link

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

Nhex, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 04:15 (nine years ago) link

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

polyphonic, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 04:17 (nine years ago) link

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.

Daniwa, guys! Daniwa! (aldo), Wednesday, 21 May 2014 11:40 (nine years ago) link

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

Daniwa, guys! Daniwa! (aldo), Wednesday, 21 May 2014 11:50 (nine years ago) link

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...

Frederik B, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 12:34 (nine years ago) link

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

mohawk ororoducer (abanana), Wednesday, 21 May 2014 16:06 (nine years ago) link

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.

Daniwa, guys! Daniwa! (aldo), Wednesday, 21 May 2014 16:10 (nine years ago) link

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.

Euler, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 18:42 (nine years ago) link

I'm hurt.

Jeff, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 18:43 (nine years ago) link

D:

I didn't know that was an option!

Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Wednesday, 21 May 2014 18:44 (nine years ago) link

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.

Euler, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 18:44 (nine years ago) link

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.

polyphonic, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 18:51 (nine years ago) link

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

Nhex, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 19:09 (nine years ago) link

not with my l115 3-3-5 Psylocke I won't!

Euler, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 19:15 (nine years ago) link

;)

Nhex, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 19:33 (nine years ago) link

ARGH hit a gold cover for the first time in what feels like ages... i see the wolverine logo... get excited... x-force. I$ETGH@$IJTY$@MY$@IJMIKHM#

Neckbread (Will M.), Thursday, 22 May 2014 01:14 (nine years ago) link

lololol MPQ trolls its players hard.

Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Thursday, 22 May 2014 01:16 (nine years ago) link

Four heroic tokens out of season one, and there's not a single two-star character I couldn't improve! Hit three abilities I've already maxed (out of a possible five) and a bagman...

Frederik B, Thursday, 22 May 2014 01:45 (nine years ago) link

four heroic token, one gold, it's a green hulk which I've already maxed. damn

fury in the house btw ;)

Euler, Thursday, 22 May 2014 03:04 (nine years ago) link

5 Heroic tokens got me 2 Lazy Thor covers I've already maxed out, plus 3 junk covers.

mohawk ororoducer (abanana), Thursday, 22 May 2014 03:05 (nine years ago) link

All my were stupid. All that grinding. FOR WHAT.

Jeff, Thursday, 22 May 2014 03:30 (nine years ago) link

7 Heroic tokens at the end of season 1 - six 2*s, but I got my 5th Yellow Hood cover, so I guess that's.. something. He's 5/1/5 now

Pretty behind in the Sentry tournament, can't make any headway without Lazy Daken...

Nhex, Thursday, 22 May 2014 03:56 (nine years ago) link

seven heroics got me one usable green lazythor.

stunned by the betrayals! i care about rewards less than team ilx.

(although hey lurkers we have an open slot!)

also pulled a yellow falcon lately and a daily reward put my panther at 4/3/4.

was well prepared for the spidey nerf (haven't been playing him lately anyway) but man when the mags nerf comes i have no idea what to do with my a team.

wat is teh waht (s.clover), Thursday, 22 May 2014 05:04 (nine years ago) link

5 heroics got me my final green hulk. Rubbish apart from that.

Daniwa, guys! Daniwa! (aldo), Thursday, 22 May 2014 06:18 (nine years ago) link

Four heroics, got one useful Punisher cover. First 3-star cover I've pulled in what feels like months, other than solitary two-cover throwaways like the Human Torch.

Millsner, Thursday, 22 May 2014 13:52 (nine years ago) link

Think the best way to improve placement is to wait till near the end and then sprint to the finish.

Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Saturday, 24 May 2014 01:36 (nine years ago) link

should i take daken, patch, modern thor or steve rogers. or should i kick off some of my 2-stars for them. idk

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Saturday, 24 May 2014 08:20 (nine years ago) link

o man i can't get more slots until i get 500 hp :((((

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Saturday, 24 May 2014 08:24 (nine years ago) link

Shielded at #4 or 5 with 2.5 hours left... ended up at 50. Yeesh.

Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Saturday, 24 May 2014 08:38 (nine years ago) link

I'm taking a break from this game. 1 day clean.

mohawk ororoducer (abanana), Saturday, 24 May 2014 15:41 (nine years ago) link

got a first 141 today, big pun

three lazy dakens from the psylocke tourney

Euler, Saturday, 24 May 2014 15:49 (nine years ago) link

Which is worse, the Falcon I'M A DICK!!!!! Animation or the Sentry's Victoria's Secrets pose?

Daniwa, guys! Daniwa! (aldo), Saturday, 24 May 2014 17:37 (nine years ago) link

so if i have an ipad and an android and want to switch the one I use to play this game, i can't like transfer my account or anything right, I would have to just start over?

Panaïs Pnin (The Yellow Kid), Saturday, 24 May 2014 17:52 (nine years ago) link

xp definitely the Sentry. i don't know what the hell they were thinking with that art. his self-team damaging abilities are fun though!

i think you can login to Facebook to save your account data/transfer it over? i haven't tried this though
