The timing of the vaulting wouldn't matter because it's not like you'll go 'oh Daken is back this week better buy 42 tokens!' because if you can do that you'd be better off just upgrading covers (assuming you had 1/1/1 at some point) not to mention this is a rather ridiculous scenario in terms of expenditure power to begin with.
Phantron wrote: The vaulting of characters should also phase the characters out. Not having Daken or Thor is a pretty significant disadvantage, but it's not as bad if no one else gets to use them during at least some events. For that matter the 4*s should be on a rotation as well, with Nick Fury/Thor/X Force rotating each month and themed so that each 4* would dominate their month. Well, you wouldn't need anything special for Thor/X Force (Thor would easily be the top without X Force). Nick Fury would need to have quite a few characters rotated out of 3* (great green users + The Hood) to be the most powerful but it's definitely doable and it'd also give people a reason to level up other 4*s.

Play as much PvE as you can, collect as much of the progression and Iso/HP/tokens/cover drops as you can. Do what you can in PvP, and make every effort to at minimum collect the free 3* at 3k and the 10-pack at 4k. Even if they aren't great rewards and the tokens don't have great drops, you can overcome that quickly that through sheer volume.

"Two weeks ago only had one 3* I'm trying to build and last week had none but this week has four of the 3*s I'm trying to build, so I'll splurge the heroics and standards I've been saving for the past three weeks" is EXACTLY how it would go, what are you on about Again not that it's a significant difference because "pulling golds from tokens lol lol" but the effect on how "fun" it feels to play the token lottery would be tremendous
GrumpySmurf1002 wrote: This is probably going to sound mean, but I'm not trying to be. I understand your general frustration, but this is not the roster of a transitioning player. You're a 2* player who has a few 3* covers. Even if every characater was available, you're months away from even beginning the transition. You haven't maxed either the best offensive character (Ares) or the best offensive team (Mags-cStorm, add Hawkeye for Sim) in 2* land. You have limited to no covers of the important 3* characters available (Hood, XForce, LCap, Patch, among others). You're right, there is no obvious progress to be made at this stage, but this stage is not about transitioning. This stage is about hoarding resources. Play as much PvE as you can, collect as much of the progression and Iso/HP/tokens/cover drops as you can.

Even if they aren't great rewards and the tokens don't have great drops, you can overcome that quickly that through sheer volume. That's probably a frustrating answer and might be a turn off to continuing in the game, but reality is that every day that goes by, the transition becomes a couple days longer. If you're not ready to invest 4-6 months into the game and slog through the grind that is just getting from 2* land to the 3* transition, better to cut bait now and not waste your time.

While the combo you mentioned does have its perks, I still do just fine with my current roster, which, as you said, should be all about gathering resources and whatnot, and for that purpose is fine as it is (I'll still level hawkeye and ares though, cstorm will remain at her current level til those two are complete, at the very least. I feel that the small boost in her blue doesn't warrant 42k ISO, and her HP is sufficient to win the matches I bring her into).
