A beautiful thing (possible bragging)

I just crossed day 820, and gleefully received a black Logan cover. Beyond the fact that I got a free cover of the only character that matters in the whole of MPQ, something else magical has occurred. My luck has played out such that my Logan is now 4/4/4. This means that any cover of his I pull will allow me to immediately champion him. Bliss!

The downside, of course, is that I will have achieved the pinnacle of useful roster progression. Nothing else matters, at least until the next completely broken 5* character comes out. But that doesn't bother me since only the super-duper-ultra whales will have that new game-destroyer in anything less than a coon's age.

Whee!

    I'm terrified because my OML isn't fully-covered, but I already have 5 blackflag.png . So it's highly conceivable that in a few months, I'll win that OML blackflag.png as a login reward, and instead of being a moment of triumph, it will be a moment of complete frustration.

    As someone who has at least 5 of a color for the first 3 (OML 2/5/1, SS 2/5/4, PHX 5/2/0), and already drawn three useless/duplicates of those color, I'm quite envious.

    That already happened to me. I hit day 730 and got a black SS cover for my 2/3/5 Surfer.

    For the OP, I also had a 4/4/4 Logan, and it's indeed a beautiful thing.

    Oooooh you have been super lucky! Congratulations!

    My OML is 4/2/5 and I am dreading the day I will pull another red cover. My PH is also 5/2/5 and I have already pulled 3 PH covers that I couldn't use. And this SUCKS HARD.

    When you pull a 5 you should always be allowed to use that cover. ALWAYS. It is already hard enough to pull their covers.

    Lucky! I just crossed day 820 last week...and my luck has played out that my "Only Character That Matters" is now 1/1/1.

    Same here. I Think I am up to six Silver Surfer blacks (only have 2 blue and a red), seven OML yellows (he's 2/5/3 now, so he's getting there...), seven Phoenix red and ten Phoenix green... and she's 5/2/5.
    RNG can be a female dog at times.

    Well, that's okay I guess, but in two days I'm getting a icon_invisiblewoman.png cover from the Shield resupply (day 310), so try to contain your jealousy.

    I rostered a 2nd SS as a "Trophy" for hitting 6/0/0 (now 5/1/0 and 1/0/0). I also rostered a 2nd Phoenix trophy later on - with a 1/5/1 I fully expected to roster it early but ended up being at 3/5/3 before I rosted a 0/1/0 "trophy" Phoenix.

    RNG only progression is just THE WORST, but it's followed closely by RNG cover progression.

    My OML is level 452 and sits on the bench a good portion of the time. He's very good, but I don't think he's "broken" good.

    Whee!

    GG and IM46 are completely worth additions to a 5* roster, even if you will use OML more than any others for grinding purposes. It's not a waste of your time to chase those 5*s.

    Now let me sadly slink off to my 0/1/0 OML . . . *sniffle* . . .

    I pulled my TENTH purpletile.png Phoenix yesterday. She is 1/5/2. The terror is justified.

    When you've been leveling/scaling/playing with/against the same people for two years, you feel like you get to know them. It's nice to give a "Gratz!" or "Bummer!" to those who you've seen out there for so long...and it's why it's painful to watch those that have done it with you leave the game occasionally as well.

    Let me recount my story of "terror".

    My OML was 0/0/5 for a long time.

    Everytime I pull a 5* and I see the wolverine icon, it will fill me with hope.... And it ends up in disappointment when I see it is the dreaded red cover.

    Not once, not twice.... But FIVE times.

    So much so that I dread seeing the purple wolvie icon because of the potential disappointment.

    I now have a 3/3/5 oml, and also a 0/0/5 oml.
