    Wonder if there is anything to the emphasis on everyday in the announcement screen. I'm thinking those game mechanics where you climb the prize ladder for consecutive days played in it.

    Maybe that's confusing with the daily resupply and I'm not a fan of it in other mobile games but I play this one everyday anyways, so....

    Deadpool always teaches me the most useful things. when he was introduced i wondered what the whole whales thing was all about, until i found out that it meant people who spend a lot on a freemium game.

    now he (and google) taught me that this thing i always do actually has a name - interrobang. how cool is that?!

    It would be interesting if this was an upgradable system: like if a taco token was only 2 star characters, but you could convert a number of them into a burrito token for 3 stars, and a number of them into a chimichanga token for 4 stars. The problem with that system would be if the exchange rate is poorer than the probabilities for a Heroic Token, you are losing ISO from sold lesser covers for guarantees of higher rarity and wider character pool.
  • I want to know if it's going to be a specific 3* that you get that changes daily, or is it going to be a token tat gives only 3*'s and will be random who you get each day.

    And if the latter is the case, how much HP will they go for if they decide to sell them like other token?

    And if it's the former, will there be a way to know ahead of time who it is so that we know if we want to put effort into the event that day or not.

    1000 iso 8 is classified as 3 stars too.
  • Its been toted as an event meant to ease the transition into 3* characters, so there will have to be some way for a relevant number of 3*'s to be gained over a reasonable period of time. A 3* a day... seems a bit much perhaps, but one a week actually would feel kinda stingy even given its an extra. I guess it all depends on the difficulty and time requirements. I mean, farming every lightning round is well worth the effort, but as me how often I have time to hit more than 5-6 of them with a work schedule, family etc, on something that the jam in mid-week.

    I'm hoping that it is something where you can tell the 3* that you'll get at the end of the effort, even if its assigned ahead by the devs so players can see if its worth the effort. Going through a bunch of relatively difficult nodes to end up with a 500 iso dupe would probably be even more annoying than all the ones I've drawn from tokens.

    IceIX mentioned that it is existing art that is rarely seen like the Jennifer Walters art for She-Hulk.

    We now know that:

    1) It is indeed one 3* per day.
    2) The 3* reward is fixed per day - everybody who clears the daily quest on, say, Feb. 27 will get the same character and color.
    3) But in order to reach the survival fight with a 3* at the end you need to finish that day's essential mission, which will require the same 3* that's being given out.
    4) That way you can't just play the daily quest, but after getting your first covers for a particular 3* from PvE, PvP or the daily resupply you can strengthen them through the new quests.
    5) Characters who have been rotated out of tokens can still show up as daily quest rewards.
    6) If you don't have the 3* for the day you can still play other missions that give out rewards like 2* covers.
    7) We still don't know what the tacos do, exactly.

    More info, from Ice IX:

    * 3* Rewards aren't sequential (e.g. Loki black > Loki purple > Loki green)
    * Instead 7 characters are chosen for the week, each getting 1 turn as the daily prize.
    * Taco Token prizes draw from the weekly pool of 7 characters.
    * Enemy levels are preset.

    "Enemy level are preset, so players that are transitioning will be able to reach X relatively consistently, while others will be able to reach Y, and top end player will be able to hit Z."

    No clue yet then if there are such things as 3* Taco Tokens, or they are like event Heroics only with the pool of 7 characters as the 'featured' characters...

    The "Taco Tokens" seem to just be Event Tokens for the 7 featured characters for the DPDPVE (I am coining this acronym).

    That'd also help with the general problem that tokens usually contain way too many heroes to get anyone specific even if you didn't care they're very bad deals.

    We'll have to see what the odds are, but if it's a good batch of characters that you need it might be worth a roll of the dice on the single daily deals for that week at least. Cost will matter too, if it's 100 HP like for the Heroic tokens or usual 200 HP for event tokens. Time will tell.

    Also DPDPVE sounds vaguely dirty. I like it. icon_e_wink.gif

    Are the tokens gonna be GUARANTEED 3*, out of that weekly pool of 7 characters?

    Or is it possible that we will STILL be getting numerous 2*s, as pulls?

    I'm thinking 2*s. The token has 2* on it, and it would be way too generous to get a 3* from the DPDPVE and from a token from the event.

    Probably will cost more, but if there are only 7 3*s you can at least contemplate going for it if say 3 of those guys happen to be good, versus right now where you got like 20 3*s and practically no chance to even focus on anyone.

    Yeah, I'm thinking same odds as heroics except the pool of 3* is divided by 7 instead of 20.

    The Token isn't guaranteed anything. The guarantee 3* is in one of the nodes in the daily event.
  • As I understand it, the beginning node has a required character. The end node rewards a cover for that character. Taco Tokens are probably just tokens. They may or may not adhere to vaulting standards, or may feature the characters for the "week". 7 featured heroes.

    Either way, super excited to see this. ISO rewards, cover rewards, and non competitive PvE. Good progress. Deadpool brings us good things in MPQ.
