Have they stopped giving these out since team ups?

    I've gotten a couple Crit boosts, but nothing else.

    They have not stopped, but the TU drops have impacted the drop rates of boosts. The AP boost is the easiest way to shield hop and if they are dropping like candy shield hopping will still be massive. I think the Dev's would rather everyone bring TU instead of AP boosts. AP boosts just give such a huge advantage because you get all your big powers off before the AI can get 1. The top scoring people in PVP are still buying boosts though.

    That's probably 1 of the 4 awards for winning missions.

    Oh, you're right.

    They definitely stopped. I'm sure I've gone through 200 games since TUs are introduced without seeing a boost dropping not counting the mission rewards, and even at 10% chance (10 games per boost, which seems really low) the chance of this is astronomically low (would be better off buying powerball). Now, I wonder if boosts are still dropping for people with room to take TUs. That is, the logic might go something like 'if no room for TUs, get nothing, otherwise give TU or a boost'. I haven't been clearing out my inventory of TUs since it's a huge waste of time.

    I've not had a single boost outside of the game levelling ones - crit in PvE and extra colour in PvP. They have replaced them at least for the moment (without telling us) but the more concerning issue is what is to become of them...

    I think this is **** that they stopped giving these out with no heads up.
