I am sitting on 42 covers for my 2* characters, but all of them are unneeded. Also, 53 tokens.

Has the game EVER given any sort of bonus for selling our covers? "double Iso on cover sales," etc?

Any special on redeeming tokens?

I was gonna try and hold off selling the covers and testing my luck with the tokens until the Deadpool PvE starts in the hopes that some kind of BONUS would be coming down the pipeline, but.........am I just kidding myself?

lol

    As far as I'm aware, not specifically.

    If a character undergoes a funbalance, then D3 will often have a grace period afterwards where they will offer a higher amount of ISO plus HP to sell them (Sentry, and 2* Hawkeye were the most recent, I think), but that's not the same as selling the covers directly.

    No special offers on redeeming tokens, either. The main reason why you might want to hold onto tokens are if a character that you want isn't in the current pack (ie - vaulted for Heroics, or not on offer for Event tokens). If you wait long enough, you might find that a character comes back into rotation.

    Occasionally a debuffed character will be able to be sold for imcoin.png . At that point you can put 2 of the same color cover together, level them up, and sell them. It's unlikely to happen any time soon tho, as they seem to be more focused on buffs than nerfs atm. Hawkeye was the last one who got tweaked and could pair up his covers to sell for spideycoin.png , was fun times in PvP that week.

    Just push the sell all button, they expire after 6 days if you don't.

    It would be awesome if they changed that so covers would yield some HP at the 3+4 star level so you could sell maybe 10 3star covers and have enough to buy 1 that you need. Would make transition a lot easier.

    It used to be like that.
    Then they changed it because vets would win PVPs where they didn't need the covers because they wanted to sell the covers for HP.
    To give those covers to the people who needed them was the given reason for the change.

    Then they introduced seasons with alliance scores, which ensured that the whole T10 of any given season PVP is people who don't need the covers and will sell them for ISO.

    Hmph...too bad. But people who don't need the covers are still winning and selling them to get the ISO and level their 4star characters really. So the problem remains if on a smaller scale.

    I just thought adding HP to selling covers would have been the easiest way to implement that feature. Collecting covers and trading them for other covers without the detour via HP would be fine too. (need to remove the timer for disappearing and create a trade in screen then obviously)
