    In R62, battles have a chance of dropping Boosts. If you don't get a Boost, the battle has a chance of awarding a Team Up assuming that battle has TU applicable abilities.

    If we are getting Dino now, that means we can get his TU. What about his old ones?

    If, (i hope this don't happen), Dino's green ability gets changed, (less damage or something) what happens to his old TU that I have saved? Do they stay the same, or change to match his current power levels? If they do change, I guess i should use 'em while I got 'em, huh?

    Old C.Mags TUs stayed around when he was changed, I see no reason why current Devil Dino TUs would be changed.

    we desperately need a feature where when there is a new team up and our slots are maxed at 20+ we have the ability to delete one. Often the slots fill up quick and we head into a Lvl 200+ fight wishing we had deleted a worthless TU and open a spot up. Cant say how many times it happened, very frustrating.

    Also, it would be nice to automatically assign some teamup boosts to a match if player "forgot" to choose.

    I applaud all the changes done here. They are all useful and have been asked for many times in the forums. Hopefully, we will see more of our requests being implemented because, while this is a very good looking patch, the forums are full of topics that require attention and responses from devs (Token drops and new characters, end times?).

    Magic 8 ball says "Ask again when First Parties say OK"

    My 8 Ball is remarkably concise yet vague sometimes.

    If boosts are going to drop does it mean 3+ all colors drops too or just the ones that doesnt cost hp?

    So there is a chance of receiving neither a Boost or a Team Up after completing a battle with applicable abilities?
    Just want that clarified to know it's working as intended when implemented.

    • Events now correctly show their complete time remaining.

    Does this include PVP's as well as Events?

    My PVP timer was off by an hour today--first time I've seen that problem. Was really annoying when the event ended while my timer said there was still an hour to go.

    Does this apply to PvE? In Doctor Octopus 1 I have a chance to win critical boosts, so could this potentially give 2 boost rewards in one battle?

    And in PvP is the boost / TU award in isolation to the ISO-8 (see what I did there, ISOlation, <wipes tear from eye>) / covers awards? It's not that getting a boost or team-up will be instead of these, is it?

    (They may be stupid questions, but I've seen announcements where something's given with one hand and unmentioned stuff is taken away in a wheelbarrow. Present company excepted, of course.)

    Still no update on character token pool. This is getting stupid.

    Well there was an update in the anniversary thread but that update amounted to the same "We're working on it" response they've given for over a month now.

    What if the 'fix' is that newer characters are restricted to event tokens for longer periods, and not to general standard and heroic tokens? Have noticed doc ock in the sentry event tokens, at 1.5% for singles. I'm not sure what the general population's response is when they really want a character, but it seems to be 'buy tokens and hope you get lucky'.

    So there is a chance that you get absolutely nothing now? Well played.

    I get nothing now approximately 90% of the time, so this sounds a lot better.

    Both of the all-color boosts have a chance to drop.

    Yep, if you're lucky, you could win one as the mission reward and one as a random drop.

    The Iso-8/cover reward from a PvP mission is separate, right. You might win both one of those and a boost.
