    I opened 50 Standard tokens and the only one I could use for anything except iso8.png was a icon_humantorch.png --and that's only because he's required in the current event.

    The big enchilada was beyond insane today, are devs really that much against progression?

    Really? I thought today was rather easy compared to the previous two days.

    Different players, different rosters, and (I'm sure) different gem drops.

    I'm sorry you had a hard time.

    I'm away for the weekend to a place with limited mobile reception, so was planning on leaving Venom Bomb to attempt a late bracket snipe. I go to enter Starflower to try for 300, and it only tiny kitty opens up Venom Bomb.
    Some what miffed. I'll away put in a bug report as that's a new one for me.

    I hate yellowflag.png covers, or perhaps they hate me... My last 3 LT draws have been yellowflag.pngicon_nova.png , yellowflag.pngicon_spidergwen.png and yellowflag.pngicon_professorx.png. Except, my icon_professorx.png is 1/1/5 already. icon_evil.gificon_evil.gificon_evil.gif

    I knew it was going to happen eventually. Day 131 and in the 2* to 3* transition. Pulled my 6th yellow cover for 4* Sam Wilson Captain America. He's at 5/0/1 and one of my most covered 4*, tied with my 2/2/2 Hulkbuster, 2/3/1 Antman and 3/2/1 X23. A lot of them only have 1 or 2 covers.

    20 CP down the drain. So frustrating. I got a yellow Starlord from a Venom Bomb heroic token earlier today so this must be MPQ karma letting me know that all good luck will get balanced by bad luck.

    Edit: Kingpin black from today's Venom Bomb heroic token. Maybe the good moments can offset the bad ones and I shouldn't be complaining.

    Downed practically my entire roster on the final node of Venom Bomb. Finally beat it (with Rhulk, 4* Cyclops, and Mr. Fantastic who died four turns in). My reward? Critical boosts. icon_e_sad.gif

    Seeing the fifth yellow Patch cover that I need as the 101-200 placement reward when I already know I'm going to go top 100. With my luck the progression reward in the next PvE will be another green one that I can sell instead of the red one. I think I've sold 3 already and have another one in my queue.

    So this one worked out. Progression reward is a red cover but I already max covered him because I was able to get a yellow from Starfall PvP. The green cover has 3.5 days left on it and I only need 30,000 more to max level and champion him.

    Pulled three LT's this morning, two from CP and another from DDQ.

    MrF (13 covers...but of the worst 4* out there. No way I'm sinking ISO into this to champion)
    IW (Another one with 13 covers but no way I'm sinking ISO into it).
    HB (at least I can champ it, I guess).

    Have been waiting for months for a 12th Thing/DPXF/RHulk - the last three rewards for those three are the only covers that I have five of, so they haven't been advanced. Have barely seen any of the new characters, but reliably get more of those terrible 4*'s.

    Really wish D3 would fix some of their characters to not be so useless, so we could feel good about maxing/champing them.

    Really wish D3 would fix their ISO rate, so we could actually max the characters.

    Returned too late from my travel and I have no way of reaching the Thor progression reward in Venom Bomb. During my trip I also missed some DPD 3stars that I needed. And lots of tokens, of course.
    Well, I guess I can try joining Venom Bomb at the last hour and get me a couple covers. That method still works, right?

    Got enough CP to do 2 - 20 CP LT pulls.

    Pulled purpleflag.pngicon_nickfury.png - he's cover maxed and a million miles away from being maxed. SOLD!
    Pulled yellowflag.pngicon_cyclops.png - Nice! This makes him 4/2/3 and I had enough iso to push him up to 188 (as high as he can go with 9 covers) and allowed me to beat Hulk Buster on the 6th try! Yay!

    Beat Hulkbuster on 6th try, got my LT... pulled it... and...

    Really want to place top 50 in this pve event because of the Daredevil covers. I roster the punisher max for the event for better odds... Bought a hero points pack for first time ever to increase the roster space...

    I didn't even make it through one clear and my entire playable roster is. downed. icon_e_sad.gificon_e_sad.gificon_e_sad.gif

    Head butt, head butt, head butt... Devour.

    Sigh....

    Man, I saw Red/Purple Rhulk in my vault today. Grabbed the 12th Rhulk last week through 3* Thor championing, need either other cover still, let's go get that last one! I have 160 Tacos, about a 50/50 chance right? So now, you can read a SLEW of Worst Moments.

    1) Did not pull one of those two Rhulks (or any top reward) through 160 Tacos.
    2) Did pull 135 Health Packs. Um, horray? Horray if I could sell them for ISO....
    3) Pulled multiple Psylocke.
    4) Felt the need to not waste #3, maxed/championed Psy.
    5) Used all of the ISO received from emptying this vault (including cover sales) to max that Psy.
    6) To receive a XF cover (at least I could champ it, I guess. Not any kind of "win" though).
    7) Tons of Falcon/Bullseye/Beast/Captain. None of these matter outside of PVE, which is the pits anyway.
    8) 3* did give me enough CP through championing to buy a 20CP LT - for a Jean cover (at least I could champ it, I guess. Not any kind of "win" though)
    9) Opened token #60 or so...and the game crashed. Bets that this was one of the top reward tokens?
    10) Used all the HP gained from emptying this vault to buy a ten-pack and try again.

    ....yes, that ten-pack got me one of the Rhulks (Red...so 13 covers 4/5/4 will need re-spec if I can ever find the ISO to max him.) Net gain from 170 tacos: zero ISO (all went into Psy), zero HP (all went into another try), zero helpful from two LT's, one RHulk (now I need 300K ISO to max him I think?), and 135 health packs. That one little "win" after all the "Worst" doesn't cancel out the overall bad-taste of this experience in my mouth.

    I feel for you. This is why I don't hoard tokens.

    I agree. I stopped strategizing the taco vaults long ago. tacos = healthpacks when I need them (last night I need two 5-pks and used 7 tacos to get them). anything else is just extra. sorry to heat that snow - but reinforces that I shouldn't be targeting vaults like that.

    No PVE starting/ending times that I'm not at work or sleeping now that the hours changed there and here.

    App spontaneously quit not one, not two, but THREE times on me this morning... the first two at the start of a match before any moves could be made, as usual, and the third mind-bogglingly after I fire a sniper rifle just a few turns from finishing the fight with Charlie's Angels, instead costing me the battle. Seems fair.
