    These are great for 2* farming, better chance for 3* champs too. When I open standards I don't even think about 4* so this is nothing but a great change to me.

    Are LR going to have clearance levels I wonder?

    They will not. Too bad, this would be amazing in LRs.

    Too much to contemplate a 'Veteran' token that is 3* & 4* only?

    I could see it replacing heroic/event tokens at high-ish clearance levels.

    Top clearance level should only have 'Veteran' and 'Legendary' tokens. No reason to bother with even heroics or event tokens.

    That might be coming in higher Clearance Levels... Who knows?

    Nice! If only the game load times were still playable.

    Odd choice of naming, but I guess elite sounds better than standard+ or something like that. icon_mrgreen.gif

    I really liked this new "improved" Standard token! Glad I won't be pulling so many useless 1*s anymore icon_lol.gif

    Moore"]Hi everyone,

    With the arrival of Marvel Puzzle Quest's R109 update today - many of you will notice a new type of token in the game.

    Does that mean some of us wont? I just updated, but there's no sign of Elite tokens just the usual Standards.

    And I thought this was going to be a garunteed 5* for 1st place in the highest tier of PVP and PVE.
    I guess I was. Little delusional

    How do the odds of these elite tokens compare to that of heroics? Is the 3* chance in elites higher than the 3*+4* chance in heroics?

    Moore"]Starting with S.H.I.E.L.D. Clearance Levels, there will be a new token that players can earn: Elite Tokens.

    Looks like Elite Tokens arrive with SCL, which isn't until the next PVE: Deadpool Vs. MPQ (Sept. 15).

    3* chances in the Elite token actually appear to be a little bit lower than in the Heroic. The difference in the 3* and the missing 4* odds seem to have gone directly into the 2*.

    From my math, 3☆ rates are seemingly identical. Heroics are .6% per character * 40 characters = 24%. Though, agree that the removal of the 4☆ pool went to increase the 2☆ pool in their new tokens.

    Tinykitty! Now I need another column in my token tracker.

    Also, since there's no chance of drawing a 4* from one of these, I probably won't be able to nail down the 4* percentage in the Standard tokens. Seriously. I have been assured that people have drawn 4*s from Standard tokens, though I have not (out of over 5500,) I was thinking that the chance was probably around .02% and I was just unlucky.

    Seriously, though, this sounds like a nice thing - improving our rewards (a little) from PVE tokens and the one PVP token we get at the beginning. It's a small change, but a positive one.

    Though, honestly, I too think that "Elite" is just the wrong word for it - it makes it sound better than Heroic.

    You are correct. It appears I made the mistake of calculating with the 40-pack rate, instead of the single pack.

    They should call these "Standard" and move the current standard ones to "Sub-Standard".
