    Sorry, sorry, you're right - I saw Moonstone's entry and got excited. /sigh

    BUT I did see that the new "daily" deal is 100 HP instead of 200. That seems new.

    That's been like that for a while I think.

    I started about a month ago, and it's been 100 HP since I started.

    No she isn't. Her official name is Captain Marvel (Ms. Marvel), and the list goes from Captain America (Modern) to Daken (Dark Avengers Wolverine).

    (As an aside, not Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers)? Really?)

    Presumably not everyone is familiar enough with Marvel lore to know Capt. Marvel and Ms. Marvel are both Carol. This way it's pretty obvious why you can't use them on the same team to everyone. It's icky and I'd probably have just done Carol Danvers (*alias*) to avoid confusion instead.

    EDIT: On the topic of tokens. I'm starting to remember why I thought people were insane for saving standard tokens...after close to 100 I got 1 3* (I might use it but probably not)...ISO now is definately preferable to opening hundreds of these things for marginal chance of something useful.

    EDIT2: Final tally 149 Standards 2 3*s...at least the 2-10 Packs were full of gold.
  • I'm about a third of the way through the standards. I've gotten five golds, which is a little above expected. Four of them have been useful:
    Yellow Lazy Storm (from earlier)
    Black Doc Ock
    Green Doc Ock
    Red Classic Mags

    Also, I pulled a Green Sentry that I didn't need.

    I've already pulled about twice as many useful golds out of the standards as the average would have out of the whole batch of standards. Going well so far.

    That makes sense too, I just wanted the door left open for Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) at some far-flung future date.
  • I had stashed 2 10 packs, and around 36 singles.

    Mostly 2*,
    Notables (not able to use):

    yellowflag.pngicon_blackpanther.png

    Notables (Able to use):
    purpleflag.pngicon_nickfury.png
    X2 blueflag.pngicon_invisiblewoman.png
    yellowflag.pngicon_beast.png

    So not to bad.

    I used up all my token luck last night (7 anniversary tokens all gold in a row)...

    32 Single Heroics, 2 10 packs, and 119 standard tokens got me a grand total of 1 useable 3* - green doc ock...
  • I only had 7 heroic tokens and 1 10-pack from the last season. One blackflag.pngicon_hulk.png .

    I wouldn't mind this too much, but combined with the 25+ anniversary tokens I've had that had 2 beast covers and one Invisible Woman, I'm pretty much hating the token system right now.

    Decided to note my results today. I had been stockpiling Heroic Tokens and 10-packs for a bit, but opened them at the start of the previous Season when there was still no news forthcoming on when new 3-star characters would be added to packs. Grand totals by token type are behind the cut, but the actual types of the tokens were about 50 Standards, 2 Heroic ten-packs, and 7 Heroic or Event tokens:
    51 Standard Tokens
    Black Widow x6
    Hawkeye x3
    Iron Man x11
    Juggernaut x8
    Storm x7
    Venom x3
    Yelena x7

    M. Hawkeye x1
    Moonstone x1
    C. Storm x2

    Daken Classic x1
    Spider-Man x1


    2 Heroic
    OBW
    M. Hawkeye


    2 Heroic 10-packs
    Ares x3
    OBW x3
    Bullseye
    Captain America x2
    Daken
    M. Hawkeye x2
    Johnny Storm x3
    MN Magneto
    C. Storm

    Grey Suit Black Widow

    Invisible Woman
    X-Force

    1 Starfall
    MN Thor

    2 Venom: Heroic
    Captain America
    MN Thor

    2 Combined Arms
    MN Magneto

    Captain Marvel
  • Ive had really bad luck.

    Opened 4 10 packs and have one gold cover out of 40. Others in my alliance are reporting this too so Im not sure if the drop values are correct so superstitious or not I'm not opening my reaming 5 10 packs today. I opened 35 single tokens and received 5 golds in those and the 10 packs should have higher percentages for gold covers.

    I did get about 7 gold covers on 380 standard tokens.

    All in all I gained 70k iso today and 2 colossus covers so its not all bad.
  • Finished opening my 609 standards. I had extraordinary luck with these; better than I had any right to. Got seven useful covers:

    Lazy Storm Yellow
    Doc Ock Black
    Doc Ock Green
    Classic Magneto Red
    Deadpool Red
    Beast Blue
    Doc Ock Blue

    Aside from those, I got a bunch of other 3*s I could sell as if they were each 2 bagman covers:
    Sentry Green
    Sentry Red
    Falcon Blue x2
    She-Hulk Blue
    Spidey Purple
    Lazy Storm Green
    Lazy Daken Blue
    Psylocke Red
    Beast Yellow

    ~501 1*s, ~83 2*s (they don't add up quite to 609, so I missed a few - I think I'm off by 8). About 76,400 ISO. I might put the breakdown into the tracker.

    Going to open the heroics now, then the 10-packs. At this point, my need list is:
    Classic Mags (1 Red, respec)
    Captain Marvel (1 Yellow, respec)
    Colossus (1 Black, 2 Red)
    Beast (3 Green)
    Doctor Octopus (2 Black)
    Plus all the 4*s from before.
  • Heroics and 10-packs weren't as overwhelmingly good in most ways, except in one: I got 3 Nick Furys (two purples and a blue). Two usable 3*s: Yellow Captain Marvel and Black Doc Ock.

    I got two more 4*s to sell, including a Black X-Force and a Yellow IW, and also sold:
    Blue Beast
    Purple Daredevil
    Yellow CMags
    2 Blues and a Red Psylocke
    Yellow Spidey
    Black, Green, and Yellow Lazy Storm
    Blue and Green She-Hulk
    Yellow Lazy Cap
    Yellow Captain Marvel
    Yellow Colossus
    Black Hulk

    So of the 17 3*s I needed, I got 9, I think - still need Colossus (Black and 2 Red), Beast (3 Green), Doctor Octopus (Black), and Classic Mags (Red, for respec).
    Of the 17 4*s I needed, I got 3 - still need a green X-Force for respec, 2 green IWs, 7 covers to be determined for Nick Fury (I need to actually look at his build now), and 2 Reds and 2 Greens for Devil Dino.

    Very good haul overall, though almost all of it was in the standards. The heroics were a little disappointing, and the 10-packs were about what was expected.

    I opened 44 Heroics and 6 Heroic ten packs.

    Heroics: 13.6% 3/4* draw rate
    10 packs: 18.3% draw rate.

    I had a 50/50 aggregate chance at Fury and managed one pull. I got two useful covers to respecc older characters, BP and Daken.
    Otherwise I got two "new" characters: Deadpool (Whales) and Beast (Medical Marvel).

    I just banked 44,000 ISO after using the 5 useful covers and starting a 2* Daken. Not the best, not really worth the wait, but acceptable.
  • As of a week ago, I was planning on opening mine since I wanted some icon_deadpool.png covers. But then I won them and maxed him out for Tex Mex.

    I'm sitting on:
    124 Standard
    71 Heroic
    7 10xHeroic packs

    The only 3&4 star.png covers I'm missing at this point are icon_nickfury.png (3/5/4), icon_colossus.png (3/3/2), icon_doctoroctopus.png (4/2/3), icon_beast.png (3/3/3). And icon_caroldanvers.png is 4/5/4, so I'd like 1 more yellowflag.png to get her to 3/5/5. So a total of 15 covers that could be of use. Except, really only icon_nickfury.png and icon_caroldanvers.png are ones I'd find useful. So I think I may keep hoarding until icon_thor.png shows up. Unless maybe the next new 3* to go in there is worth having and using.

    Even the iso8.png they would bring is not really an incentive at this point. Just broke 400k today with the LRs (up at least 70k from them), so there's no rush on that.

    Best of luck to all of you opening tokens. May the odds be ever in your favor! (And may it not take 3 hours to open them all. But it will.)
  • I opened about 180 of them (9 10 pack, ~90 heroics) and got like 3 useful covers out of it. I got a 3 4*s (Nick Fury blue, Nick Fury purple, IW blue). I think the most of a character I got was 4 covers (Dr. Octopus and Spiderman). It'd be quite depressing if I had to pay for those tokens.
  • ^ yeah today really hit home how bad of value tokens are for people buying them. I opened 4 10 packs and got 39 2 stars.

    Opened my season 10-pack and got a icon_magneto.pngblueflag.png . Also had 16 Heroics saved up which netted me:

    icon_blackwidow.pngredflag.png (sold as I already have 5 red)
    icon_sentry.pnggreenflag.png
    icon_doctoroctopus.pngblueflag.png
    icon_captainamerica.pngblueflag.png (thirteenth cover, putting him at 3/5/5)
    icon_falcon.pngpurpleflag.png

    Also opened 20 standards and they were all 1*. icon_neutral.gif
