    So quick to lower featured odds from GUARANTEED! to 33% to 2.3% but so slow to raise 3* odds just a few percentage points. Sad.

    I couldn't agree more, I mean most of the 2* characters have really high percentages, so even if they lowered those a tad and made room for the new characters, why would that be so bad?

    Either they are slow to do anything because they know people will buy the additional covers on characters they really like and think are worthy of $15 bucks a cover or whatever it equals out to.... or they just want to sell more covers....oops I mean they haven't figured it out yet on how exactly to break down each percentage....

    I hope that math program that someone sent Will helps and we can finally get this resolved.

    I have thought of that as well. I am holding on to hope that the reason there is silence on this issue is because a new token system is coming on the anniversary.

    A man can wish.

    Then again, if wishes were horses, poor men would ride.

    I know we'd like to, but let's not forget that icon_beast.png is missing as well.

    Also, icon_shehulk.png has been out so long that many of us, myself included, have fully covered her just from rewards and she is still not in tokens. That is embarrassing.

    Wow, I didn't realize I had completed icon_shehulk.png purely on events alone. This is sad.

    Using tokens is enjoyable, and removing these from end game will have serious repercussions. I have tons of tokens unopened because there is simply no point, and the game has gotten a lot boring since. Please D3, add the roulette back in for my hard work! For once I am not looking forward to the seasonal 10 pack, and that is a highlight of the game.

    The only thing that happens when the newest characters are added to the token list, is that it makes the older *** characters that much more unlikely for me to pull. Eventually the chances of getting a useful cover will be so miniscule as to be nearly non-existent.

    Not necessarily. If they just add the new ones at the expense of the ** covers, then the older ones aren't any less likely to get - everybody would still be .7%, but 2*s would go down slightly from whatever they are now (I think 7.2%) to about .3% less each (thus about 6.9%).

    I'm assuming its the 10 pack+ guys who need this the most, as even if they add these heroes the odds of you pulling the ones you want will still be abysmal. especially from single gold tokens.
    icon_e_smile.gif I'm sure its all working as intended.

    It would be funny if they go over to a new token system but don't change the old tokens, leaving the stockpilers with nothing else to do but click redeem a couple of hundred times...

    I'm sure it's been mentioned many times before, but do we really need 2* characters in heroic tokens? They're easy enough to get now from pvp, progression rewards, etc. that they have no place in heroic tokens. Standard tokens, sure. But having only 3* and 4* in the heroic variety should simplify things.

    It would simplify the random draws, sure, but it would also dramatically change how the game's played if every heroic and event token were a guaranteed 3 or 4 star cover.

    Yeah, I'm not touching that comment with a 10 foot pole.
    I dunno, sounds like a modest proposal to me

    Hey D3, stop trying to maximize every penny you can get from us, and start doing the right thing for your damn customers. Is that clear enough for you?

    They are too busy counting all your money to fix this.

    Or to even comment on it for that matter.

    Break tokens in 2* and 3* for crying out loud.

    Here are three main ideas to keep this game going:

    - Break tokens depending on rarity (Standards = 1*+, Heroics = 2*+, Champions = 3*+)
    - Stop rolling out 3* characters.
    - Start bringing 4* characters.

    Currently you have TOO many veterans playing for ISO. Give them something to hold on to. Create that 3* -> 4* transition.
    I am tired of the 166 wall in every PVP. There should be more to fight for than just being a part of that wall someday. There should be light after that wall. That light will help us challenge the wall instead of cry out in forums all day.

    Just add the new ones at .7% chance and reduce all the 2*s by an equal amount to compensate. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

    Let's also include to this thread how many Heroic tokens everyone is stockpiling because they only need what hasn't been added yet.


    5 - 10 packs
    8 - singles


    58 total covers.

    Standards - 460+
    Heroics - 89
    Heroic 10-Packs - 4

    589+ covers; assuming an average distribution, that would be approximately:
    384 1*s,
    175 2*s,
    30 3*s,
    2 4*s.
    (there's some rounding there, so it doesn't add up perfectly)

    Together, those would be worth 99,150 ISO, minus any useful covers. Statistically, that would average one 4* cover, and the 3*s would vary from an average of 1 useful cover (given the current mix, from which I need two out of the sixty covers) to an average of four (if they added the remaining 5 characters to the mix, for which I need 8 of the 15 additional).

    ...

    Your restraint on standards is impressive. I have a couple hundred heroics. But the odds are so low on the standards, the thought of redeeming more than a hundred of them dissolves my restraint and my lust for ISO kicks in. As it is, I usually hand my phone to my kid and let him redeem my standards when I get ~75. That way all I have to do is review the rewards and sell all. Outsourcing at its best!

    Yep, holding onto these little ISO vouchers (standard tokens) is not for ISO-hungry folks. I open every token - figure I have a better chance of winning new covers in Versus than actually pulling them when/if they are added, and ISO never hurts. Out of the recent characters, only maxed black/yellow Marvel has any merit; if you have one single purple Daredevil that's also more than enough.
