Out of the last three event (Pve) all I was able pull from event tokens were 2*! I checked with my alliance mates and it's pretty much the same story.....

1. Is anyone else having better luck?
2. Should the draw rates be betters for 3* now that the company is starting to transition towards 4*and 5*?
3. Anyone else getting burnt out with all these new toons?

Good luck to everyone in 5* land

    Vault aside, they did up the odds in all non-vault tokens at the beginning of the current season, upping 4* draw rates, taking it from the 2* pool. If you have hoarded tokens from previous events, before the change, they will change when the event comes around again, so you may want to hold on to those.

    They should use event tokens to fill in the missing token step they skipped when they created Legendary tokens. Guaranteed 3* with a small chance for a 4*. Your average player is probably opening between 3-10 of these per event, depending on event length, number of sub events, etc...With the current state of the game, you're not going to convince me that a few extra 3*s coming into the economy, with the rare 4* being pulled, is going to harm the game in anyway.

    I pulled one old event token today and got a Ragnarok. My tracking sheet says 59 of my 235 event token pulls have been 3* or better, so that's 25%. Can't complain about that I don't think.

    My sheet still shows my sad 4/242 golds on event (non-ultron) tokens.. PVP tokens on the other hand, have been great.

    I lump them all together. The Ultron tokens were nothing but junk for me though, that much I remember.

    Last season I was in a bad drought. Almost all my tokens yielded 2*. This season is a lot better.

    Pulled a icon_iceman.pngblueflag.png from Venom: Heroic today and got a 4* icon_deadpool.pngpurpleflag.png from Meet Rocket and Groot. Your luck will change eventually.

    I do not remember about 3* but I pulled a icon_thing.png out of my first R&G event token.

    Ultron tokens (not the carol run) were insanely good for me, so many HP and gold draws.

    During rocket & groot I pulled a blue iceman cover from an event token after sub 1 finished. When sub 2 ended, I got a yellow thing cover (the other two were gold too, can't remember who it was though. Best rewards for top 2 in a sub by far).

    My token luck has been complete trash historically. However, since the buff to the odds on tokens I pulled an Antman and the ever elusive (for me) PX yellow yesterday out of a couple event tokens (R&G I think and a PVP one).

    Just got a Heroic and a Identity Theft token both star.pngstar.png . Seems like you have to pull a 10 pack just to get a gold pull, at least in my experience.

    i went through a stretch for a good couple months with nothing but 2*. then i went through stretch where i probably got 6 for 10, including 4 in a row. now i'm back to 2*. it varies.

    I got another purple Iceman from a heroic. So...that at least cheered me up.

    Woulda preferred a green, but I'm not complaining 83

    I feel like the 12.5% draw rate on the featured 2* skews my perception. Like, my event token 3* draw rate isn't horrible, but if I get four event tokens in an event, it feels like two of them are the featured 2*, which doesn't leave a lot of room for 'valuable' draws.

    I think I've gotten a 4* out of an event token once, and my 3* roster is nearing completion, so the event tokens are increasingly ISO fodder for me.

    I wonder if it'd be damaging at all if event tokens just had 3stars and 4 stars. I mean there are 40 3 stars alone, with 4 stars in the mix thats roughly 58 in the mix.

    Even if you move 1.4% out of 2 stars, most players won't see a statistic difference from that overall. The odds change is too small for people to say they are seeing a huge increase in 4s or decrease in 2 stars. Especially if I'm not mistaken that percentage is just being shifted by tier, not per character.

    1.4 divided by the 18 in pack 4 stars is a %.07 increase per.
