  • Huh, and there are exactly 3 Moonstone's in my vault. Coincidence? I think not.

    I do not have a vault for Iceman. Why does this keep happening!!!!

    I did not have the juggs vault from his last heroic when the guy sitting next to me at work did have it. I like the vault format. To have a finite amount of rewards is always preferable in my opinion. Provided it is not a 1,000 item vault or more.

    for goodness sake why do they continue to A/B test this or alternative players on vaults. The point was to see data of old system vs. new vault system.

    it's clear most ppl like the 80 item vault vs old garbage tokens. no real reason to keep doing this

    Venom vault only had 1 Iceman cover. Mine did, anyway. Not that it matters, since I didn't pull any 4* rewards from it.

    They probably can't build a sufficient financial model to prove anything from one test, or even two. If they test enough to show they lose money on the vault, they probably won't implement it, and vice versa. If people are buying vault tokens left and right, but don't do the same on random tokens, one will win out. This likely has nothing to do with what the players like or want.

    The Venom vault, as previously mentioned, only had 1 Iceman cover. Also you still get the discounted HP tokens as well if you wish to spend.

    My point was you could earn 2.5x free pulls with Venom

    There's a thread on this in Bugs and Technical Issues. I saw the same behavior this morning, but it has since started behaving again. You may want to completely close and restart the app.

    I dont know what should i say about this but i feel stupid when i try to trace the pattern of the vault today.
    Personally i think there is really a very significant pattern when the no. of covers in the vault is relatively small. Lets say the pattern is like this: X,X1,X2(Falcon),X3,X4(Legendary token). Basically it repeats over and over in a single draw. I follow this pattern and i click on X2(Falcon) and the vault really stops at X4 but it gives me a She-hulk. I tested several times and the results are the same - the pattern is fixed and unchanged until i click on it. I dont know whether someone experiences things like this. Just want to share my personal experience...

    There's no definite way to get a specific reward out of the vault. The developers have said that the animation was just for aesthetics purpose only. However, I have personally noticed, with a 3* reward or less, what is given to us is consistent with the last icon that the vault shows and it follows the sequence.

    It's possible that when we time the icon to stop for 4* rewards, the icons could switch to a different one.
    Thanks for answering my question icon_lol.gif It makes me feel better but i still feel so stupid to spend time recording the pattern icon_rolleyes.gif
