Unstable iso-8 vault

I'm always so happy to see an event vault. I would take a vault over the normal random blind token any day. Vaults give me a sense of purpose when I use a token. You know what your token has a chance to produce. Can we please turn more events rewards into vaults?

    I'm not happy, because I have regular event tokens. Oh well, I guess my time will come.
    I wonder how long the devs will keep doing these 50/50 tests? I buy tokens when it's a small vault, I don't buy regular event tokens. This has been going on for a while, so I figure they'd have enough data that vaults do in fact increase sales...

    The last 50/50 vault was with X23's release, which might have skewed some data.

    How so? Most 50/50 vaults have been associated with new character releases.
    I suppose it might be time to see if it works even without new shiny characters in there...

    I assume we'll get a vault later on.

    I got the vault!! Vaults are great. It makes me much more likely to play the pve seriously, and also I spend 100 HP per day on the single token. It's nice to know that even if I get a **** prize, at least I'm increasing my chances for a better prize! Each vault, I've generally managed to win at least one 4*, which is always nice. We'll see what happens this time. So far, I've won Clint icon_razz.gif

    No vault for me, which is great if I get one for the next new character PvP, and okay as long as there is another half.

    oh you're right, the one before x23 was iceman. Then yeah, I guess they wanna get some data from vaults without new character releases.

    I got the vault, but it's got Elektra, XPool, and Iceman in it.....don't really need them.

    Has the cost gone up? 9800 for a 40-pack, 14k for a second.

    The Regular Token 40 packs are 11,200 and 16,000. So you guys get the vault and cheaper tokens. Nice.

    For the vault single token cost is 400hp, with a daily deal of 100hp.

    There's roughly 54 2*'s and 22 3*'s, 3 4*'s, and a Legendary. So roughly 1/3 chance to get 3* or better! Naturally I just bought a 2*.

    Vaults are great when they have a 4* you need until you've pulled everything BUT the covers you bought tokens for!

    This is an example of "don't let this happen to you". I ended up buying another 10pk just to pull 1 of the 2 Cyclops covers, and it was the LAST token! icon_lol.gif

    Same thing happened to me punisher, all I wanted was the KP covers and I pulled everything else, then my next legendary gave me the KP cover I wanted.

    I have never gotten the PVE Vault - always the PvP Vault. Which sucks, since by playing you can get ten PVE Tokens compared to two PVP Tokens. Disappointed that these "tests" seem to go the same way every time.

    If it's any consolation, I got the vault, but with an Elektra and two GThor covers. I'm looking for ways to spend my HP, but I don't think this will be one of them.

    Could use the LT, Carnage Red, and some 3* covers to champion with... rest is probably iso.

    Speaking of iso8 vault, I tried my luck with a daily and a 10 pk. ended up pulling all the star.pngstar.pngstar.pngstar.png covers in the vault, none of which I need plus the LT. I was hoping for the LT plus some star.pngstar.pngstar.png covers to feed my star.pngstar.pngstar.png champs.

    Ah, the curse of good luck! icon_e_confused.gificon_neutral.gificon_lol.gif Hopefully, that LT will turn into a star.pngstar.pngstar.pngstar.pngstar.png spidey. icon_lol.gif

    I don't have the vault. How many items are in it?

    I really wonder when/how Demiurge is going to increase CP flow. CP from champions was a bit of a one-time shot during the initial championing frenzy, but isn't going to increase flow enough longer term. Getting to 120CP for a single 4* cover (or 6 random 4* covers) will take a very long time for 98% of the population.

    Now - giving out CP in place of LT's or putting CP into vaults would at least be a step forward. I get it that the dev's want us to "earn" our way, but if that's the case then they need to make it more straight forward to actually earn CP.
