Heh Nhex, mine is 3/2/3, so even more useless!

Took more than two tries for me to get the legendary token but I ended up with a red Silver Surfer ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

Nice!
In other news, might be time to start hoarding command points:
We'll be launching a new 4* or better token for 20 CP in mid-January, as a cheaper option for the folks making their transition to a 4* team.

Good thing I haven't been spending my CP for the last couple of weeks. I wonder how will that 20CP token differ from the 25CP token? I'm guessing a narrower range of covers.

my god, the amount of whining about the drop rate of 5-stars in the forums is astonishing:

I mean, pro-tip guys: maybe don't spend ALL of your time or any of your money playing this game?
― you're breaking the NAP (DJP), Monday, 4 January 2016 18:56 (eight years ago) link
DJP: ._.
xp I'm thinking that these new tokens will have lower 5* drop rates.
― Sofialo Ren (Leee), Monday, 4 January 2016 19:10 (eight years ago) link
They have to introduce a streak buster.. I threw thousands in the game lately, going from buyers club to buyers clubs with no result.. Im on a 70 lt pulles without a 5* usable (i had a dupe ss though) while i saw others keep getting 5* after 5* with a tenth of what i drew .. They must guarantee a 5* every 20 token (thats still a 5% odd, half of what they advertise).. Like that you know your efforts and your money are not worthless like now.. The frustration is at an all time high everywhere and i cant count the number of high end players ready to leave because of that.. Once again letting rng decides end game is absurd..

wtf
After I read that, my first thought was "if I was in charge of this game, I would reduce the drop rate on 5-stars and increase the drop rate on Star Lord and Mr Fantastic"
― you're breaking the NAP (DJP), Monday, 4 January 2016 21:42 (eight years ago) link
I still haven't spent a cent on this game :)

In the current PvE, both Colossus and IM40 are buffed. This means I have started prioritizing black and using IM40 as the target of Fastball Special, which gives me free Recharges and allows me to dump AP before getting a virtually free Unibeam or Ballistic Salvo. It's kind of hilarious.
― you're breaking the NAP (DJP), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 14:43 (eight years ago) link
that sounds like fun; I don't ever use colossus in pvp b/c fastball special is too slow there but it'd be perfect in pve. I only have mine at 120 unbuffed but that oughta be enough
problem is with pve right now is that the prizes aren't compelling enough. I can't grind enough to get the legendary token---I don't think? it seems totally unreachable every time. & o/w I don't need many 3 star covers anymore. so the only goal for me would be the legendary token.
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 14:52 (eight years ago) link
I'm primarily playing PvE for the command points nodes and to grind ISO so I can level characters; also it's just less stressful because no one is going to sneak up behind you when you aren't shielded and gank your progress.
― you're breaking the NAP (DJP), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 14:56 (eight years ago) link
yeah I gotta get some of those command point, though the alliance has been pretty good for that lately!
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 15:00 (eight years ago) link
yeah, lovin the random whale action for CP. still wondering who was crazy enough to throw down ~$100 around Christmas for the 7CPunfortunately it's a lot harder to get those CP if you don't have the required 4* for the PVEs. this time it's The Thing which I don't have. just as well, i'm a little burnt out after going full steam in December, i'm doing the minimum at the moment
― Nhex, Tuesday, 5 January 2016 15:19 (eight years ago) link
I did minimum for a couple of seasons, I got the 10 pack this season for the first time in a while.waiting to open it until the "champions mode" or whatever is added, gonna be a bunch of two stars anyway.that article posted yesterday said that they're done with new 2 and 3 stars, not sure what I think about that, since my 4 star collection sucks au moment
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 15:32 (eight years ago) link
i guess it's inevitable for this kind of game. there has to be an infinite supply of incentives, power bloat to keep people hooked
― Nhex, Tuesday, 5 January 2016 15:40 (eight years ago) link
it's definitely breathing on fumes but aren't we all
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 15:53 (eight years ago) link
It would have been interesting if, instead of making the lazy versions of character into distinct characters that take up roster space, you could "evolve" your 1 and 2 star characters into their 3/4/5 star versions Pokemon-style
― you're breaking the NAP (DJP), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 15:57 (eight years ago) link
that would be awesome. maybe the champions thing will be a little like that?
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 15:58 (eight years ago) link
seems like it
― you're breaking the NAP (DJP), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 15:58 (eight years ago) link
i think it will be, like "prestiging" your cards. i expect the cost will get exponentially high, like you need 50 covers or something to boost up another level. or, there will be a cap on how much you can prestige, like the 2*s can only go up to Level 166 or something
― Nhex, Tuesday, 5 January 2016 15:59 (eight years ago) link
If I can boost Juggernaut all the way to 270, lol
― you're breaking the NAP (DJP), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 16:01 (eight years ago) link
heh sadly only 2* or better
― Nhex, Tuesday, 5 January 2016 16:04 (eight years ago) link
yeah but given the # of 2 star covers they drop, that's no problem xp
I thought I saw that you'd be able to respec on the fly for your champions, which would be cool, especially for like Hood & Blade
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 16:07 (eight years ago) link
Aw man, they've already broken the balance of the game, let's just go full-on hilarious
otoh I am looking forward to Iron Fist becoming even more of a screaming nightmare than he already is
― you're breaking the NAP (DJP), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 16:10 (eight years ago) link
so jealous of you there, my IF is only 3-3-5
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 16:15 (eight years ago) link
here's the champion announcement video.
pay ISO to go into champion mode on a fully covered character (looks like 5000 ISO for 3*s) which allows free respecs. then each cover gains a level, no iso needed, and you get rewards for each level -- different rewards for every character, lots of CP. max of 50 levels for 2*s and 100 levels for others.
i'll probably go for OBW first. i wonder if any whales will try for level 550 5*s.
― remove butt (abanana), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 16:42 (eight years ago) link
it does give me some incentive to max out some of those 2*s like Ares and Ms. Marvel. sounds like another massive iso sink to distract me from finishing off my 3* roster! makes sense.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 5 January 2016 16:47 (eight years ago) link
I might prioritize Patch and Lazy Daken for this
― you're breaking the NAP (DJP), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 16:54 (eight years ago) link
yeah, this is a smart move. i started saving common cover tokens this week and am up to like 34.
― Does that make you mutter, under your breath, “Damn”? (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 17:02 (eight years ago) link
I had 70 including vault tokens but broke and spent a bunch trying to get a Mystique cover (didn't work)
― you're breaking the NAP (DJP), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 17:05 (eight years ago) link
Currently I have 83 standard tokens, 12 heroics, and then 26 other event tokens, with 51 and 19 (I forgot to play one day!) taco tokens.
OBW definitely going to be one of my first champion priorities, I want to love her again, as well as 2* Storm. As for 3*s, Patch, Loki, R&G, Hood, IF, Cage... well, almost all of them, lol.
I can't grind enough to get the legendary token---I don't think? it seems totally unreachable every time.
― Sofialo Ren (Leee), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 18:55 (eight years ago) link
As for getting the Legendaries in PVE, you just ("just") need to play each node in each sub-mission 3 times (doesn't matter when exactly), and you'll be close enough to getting the token with a final grind on the last day.
― Sofialo Ren (Leee), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 18:57 (eight years ago) link
hmm... i'll give that a try on the next PVE. too late for this onebasically i've been grinding the 4* nodes and the final node (if i can get that far) for the CP. never came remotely close enough to getting the Legendary reward, though.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 5 January 2016 18:58 (eight years ago) link
the idea of OBW or 2-star Storm with a sensible number of hit points is very appealing (ditto Loki/Hood)
― you're breaking the NAP (DJP), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 19:17 (eight years ago) link
k, they changed the character card interface obviously in antipication of the new Champions thing, but it's turned off, so it's just a blank area at the bottom of the screen. odd
― Nhex, Wednesday, 6 January 2016 02:46 (eight years ago) link
People on the forum were saying that D3 has to make sure that everyone who's playing has downloaded the latest patch first before they turn on championing on the server-side.
― Sofialo Ren (Leee), Wednesday, 6 January 2016 03:49 (eight years ago) link
... Why? All they need to do is check the version and pop up their "hey dummy, update yr app" message
― you're breaking the NAP (DJP), Wednesday, 6 January 2016 04:15 (eight years ago) link
have they ever forced an app update? i think you can keep running old versions for a while even if they bug you
― Nhex, Wednesday, 6 January 2016 04:23 (eight years ago) link
Sometimes they force updates.
Anyway, Champing is coming tomorrow:

Command Points can be used to purchase Ability Level Upgrades for 3 and 4-Stars (20 and 120 respectively).
― Nhex, Thursday, 7 January 2016 00:38 (eight years ago) link
it is a bad deal IMO; the chance of a 5* makes legendary tokens much better
― remove butt (abanana), Thursday, 7 January 2016 00:54 (eight years ago) link
maybe. one thing's for sure, i'll actually be completing Deadpool Dailies for the 3* card again...
― Nhex, Thursday, 7 January 2016 03:06 (eight years ago) link
yeah I'd skipped deadpool daily for a few weeks but then I decided to try to take lady thor (5-3-4) to her level cap & by golly wow that takes a lot of iso.
I like all these changes a lot btw.
