by rarity:

applied blacks and yellow. dupe of 2 reds makes no sense. really hesitant to just sell though.
applied 1 red and 2 black. considering dupe - would be -/3/1. not sure that's worth 8K iso, especially with no blue in sight since my main only has 1 blue.
nothing. kinda bummed. I think she'll be a fun character but she's so far behind now, who knows when I get her going.


will be sold. needed blue to finish respec.
will be sold. needed black to finish him.

all applied and looking forward to finishing him and leveling him.
2 purples applied to dupe. need blues for him. others will be sold.

edit: counting these up looks like I missed a couple, but not going back to proof it - you get the idea...

12 5* pulls is really good, but keep in mind I came into it on a dry run of 20-30 pulls. selling some of them will really hurt. does anyone see any value in a SS dupe? blue is not coming for the dupe any time soon, so I'm not sure how much value there'd be. right now the 8K iso looks more appealing. happiest about OML yellow (obviously), quake yellows and blue, and punisher covers. figures that Elektra and venom are the ones I got stuck on over and over again. 2 that I don't ever think i'll consider putting iso into. x23 getting jean in her boosted group in the offseason hurt since I just maxed x23 but could have done kp. today I got more x23 than kp and landed the OML yellow, so looks like that was a good decision.

OML immediately went to 330 (just enough iso for that) and i'll keep him there for a while. I think he'd be better with another yellow or 2 before I take him high. played a couple of daken matches with him and he's not fast, but you come out at full health. well, i'll say he's not fast...until you transform. then poof the match is over.

I feel for those on the other end of the pull spectrum and for those without yellow like I was for so long. really a **** system.

Even factoring your 20-30 "dry run" 12/96-106 is still ahead of the curve

stochasticism

I was inspired by this post and did a little classic token opening myself. Opened 9 tokens, got 3 5*. (now 1/2/2) and (now a useless 3/1/1).

The 4*s were half good and half bad. and levels, to move him to 5/1/4 and IW, Fury and XFDP turned into ISO.

Thanks for giving me the motivation to do this Tx, the best set of tokens I have ever opened.

Vhailorx

This thread inspired me to open some classics too. Then I realized I had no cps or tokens saved and have been on a brutal cold streak (just 2 truly useful covers from all LTs and cLTs since march).

TxMoose:

Duping OML is a tough choice. He is so good that I understand the temptation. But he is arguably the character that benefits least from a duplicate since he finishes almost every match at full health. 4K is probably the way to go. (since you can't give them to me! I desperately need oml covers. . .). Grats on finally getting a yellow.

SnowcaTT

Wow, all the OML's pulled. I've lost count of how many LT's I've opened and found -two- of the covers of the only character that matters.

Congrats on finally pulling OML !

i'll happily trade some OML reds and maybe a black for some phoenix. funny how RNG giveth....and not giveth.

Melevorn

Holy Small Cats!

That's an amazing 5* rate. Since my 170-token effort (pulling twelve 5*'s) I've probably opened a dozen or so more legendary tokens - zero 5*'s in them.

Feel my envy...

Pongie

So jealous of your pull... one more pvp event and i'll hit 2000 command points. Lets wait and see what I get from 100 pulls

Polares

I don't think having dupes for any of those 4s is worth having (Phoenix resuscitates, OML and SS self-heal). But maybe if you roster the covers they can later turn them into covers to champion them? (There were doing this for some people, weren't they? or maybe I just dreamt it)

I am one of those in a OML draught. I have opened 64 classic tokens without an OML and I am starting to feel the effects in PvP. I used to have a better than the average OML, and now I am in the average, soon below average. I really need to pull at least one to be safe I have even considered saving 720 CPs !!!!!!!!!!!!! (Man covers are to damn expensive)

PS: I can't be angry because I am still pulling 5s, but pulling SS covers or Phoenix greens is not the same as pulling OML covers or Phoenix purples
PS: I guess we still don't have confirmation on the chances for 5s once they add Spidey to the classic ones... (I don't know why I want confirmation, everybody knows it is going to be 2.5%).

I just opened 400 cp worth of tokens and got 1 black Drax and. Champion covers and the rest ISO. I pulled a Lott of Ant-Man and X-Force a cho. Overall this is the first Tim I pulled 20 LT in a row and got no 5*. I was really hoping to get another OML before Spidy entered the classic token mix.

Congratulations, fellow hoarder! See, all you other non-believers. Hoarding is the only way to go. One more brick in the wall of confirmation bias!

TxMoose

so...I've been contemplating the latest tokens (have/had 27). bssm/phoenix vs. 5steve/5tony and such. for several reasons I decided to pull the trigger on my latest tokens and here they are:
bye pull:

1. gwen yellow
2. cho blue
3. GR black
4. drax red
5. x23 red
6. hb blue
7. antman blue
8. hb black
9. starlord yellow
10. starlord yellow
11. gwen yellow
12. px purple
13. fury purple
14. 5* bssm purple
15. starlord red
16. x23 green
17. pun blue
18. nova red
19. GR red
20. cyke red
21. xpool black
22. gwenred
23. 5* goblin purple
24. 5* phoenix green
25. hb blue
26. carnage black
27. drax black

by character:

now -/1/1
first one
now 2/-/-


needed for respec
needed for his last cover
needed
champ level
needed, up to 2/2/4
iso
black needed for respec, red sold.
yellow are 12th and 13th on her - at 4/5/4. red sold
champ levels
iso - so many red/black sold. only 1 yellow so far. sitting at 5/1/5 for a while
needed for 12th cover. at 2/5/5 now
iso
iso
champ levels
champ level

so all in all, very happy with those pulls. 3 5* covers, one each and only 8/27 covers wasted for iso. success again. feeling very fortunate.

carrion_pigeons

So have you hit the point where 50 percent of your unchampioned 4*s are fully covered? If so you may want to consider holding off opening any more tokens until you can farm a bunch of iso.

TxMoose

yeah, 13 covered vs 7 not covered - I'm back to hoarding as soon as the new guys get inserted.
