No-Pull (Insert Month Here)

monsieurmojo

Cheated on NPN for three pulls, and ended up with 3* Strange at 1/1/1. I guess I'll take that.

I'm so sorry, NPN. How can I make it up to you? Dinner? Diamond ring?

Can anyone verify that once your standards say 99+, that you are in fact still earning tokens over 99?

Thanks!

edit: Nevermind. It keeps track to 3 digits. Love it!

The bad news: I went ahead and cracked about 1200 CP.

The good news: I now have a 9-cover Dr. 5trange.

So ... yeah.

Well done you
5* Dr Strange is a monster, I'm so envious.

The Bobs pulling set me off last night and I cracked. Pulled oml and ss. Was happy. Back to hoarding though!

I've got nearly 1k .... this post gives me a little hope.
Not sure if I want to spend them in these tokens or classics.

His yellow is fantastic against goons and cheap powers.

I also cheated on NPN for 3 pulls, unfortunately I got 500 ISO ×3. I feel cheated.

I think I just found a potentially fatal flaw in NPN for a portion of us, at least on the low end of pulls: I don't have all the 2* rostered; I just have four or five farms that I rotate through as I get the covers, and a rotating spot at the end of my bench for the 2* essential. I keep a cover of each of the 7 I don't have in the queue, and just insert as needed, as will be the case for DPvMPQ.

But when the stockpile of covers ends, it'll basically be up to RNGeezus gifting them through Lightning Round pulls, and I may end up dipping into Standards, or worse, Heroics, to fill the gap when needed.

My thoughts exactly, I like you haven't rostered all the 2* and only roster the required 2* as and when needed.

With no new covers coming in, there maybe trouble ahead.

I feel a song coming on...

There may be trouble ahead
But while there's music and moonlight and love and romance
Let's face the music and dance

I cheated...kinda. I cleaned out the Orb vault. Only because I didn't want to miss the chance to guarantee pulling the top prizes if it switched to a random vault and/or restricted buying pulls after the event closed. I still have the other tokens. Don't give a **** about the non-Strange prizes in there.

I'm up to 130 CP. Feel like I'm over the hump now.

But I'm still opening everything else when I get 'em (Although I've managed to hoard the Strange Sights tokens, gonna splurge when it finishes!)

Figured I would update on Sundays if I remember. Would have more but opened all the Strange event tokens in the hopes of getting him. Got top 300 so I was able to get one. Here is my mini hoard. I also spend 50 CP in the hopes of pulling a 5* Strange but got 2 purple Spider women instead. This is good anyway cause I need to champion IW and Ghostrider before I open any more tokens anyway.

Not been playing much PVP this season, so I'm short on PVP tokens, but I'm going to get back on the PVP train this week.

Ok, so I had one of the more elucidating moments over the weekend. I really enjoyed 5 Star Strange, one of the funner characters I've played in a while. Suddenly the 150 command points that I'd been saving had a clear purpose. I drained the heck out of them and got some good pulls, including a blue 5 Star Strange. So, thanks for those of you that have been sharing your hoarding strategies. Things clarified a lot for me over the weekend.

Now, time to start building up my stock again.

At this point, I've got 8 Taco Tokens and 13 Legendary Tokens.

I'm saving the Taco's for late November, I worked it out at one point, but there's a run that has three, three star characters that I need covers for. I think the Sweet ones will hold until December. LT's I'll hold on until I have free roster spots.

At this point, I need to open up a roster spot in 11 days to have a spot for the Bullseye's in my queue, after that I just need The Hood and I'll have 39 of the 3 stars rostered. (I don't, nor do I plan on rostering Rags or Sentry)

Once I roster those two, I'll start opening LT's when I get a slot.

Meanwhile, I'm going to keep opening the heroics and elites cause my two star farm is always using them. I'm on the fence about the Standards, someone mentioned this earlier but I like the idea of having 40K in reserve for a sudden iso crunch.

So, sorry, I just kind of rambled there.

The real point of this post is thank you to the posters in this thread, it's helped me organize and plan my resources better and got me to think about resources in a different way.

doing ok overall. felt like I had to pull the strange pve tokens since I don't know what actually happens to the %s when they go post-event, and there was a ton of them. actually got a strang3 out of them. still successful in the other event/heroic/elite/std tokens.

edit: since everyone's updating their pile at the approximate 1-week mark:

88 standards (added 83)
31 elites (added 31)
46 heroics (added 42)
23 event tokens (added 23 - 20+ strange tokens not included)
36 LTs (added 4)
1691 cp (added 174)

updated 11/7 3pm central

Tacos: 12
CP: 108

Total: 110

I was weak. I cashed in the various Strange tokens I received from my alliance (thanks gang!) hoping to get strange for this deadpool PVE. I didn't play it, so I did not have him yet. No such luck, unfortunately.

Slothkins

I'm doing well.

36 Standard
62 Elite
13 Heroic
8 Legendary
20 Strange sights

117 tokens, 99 CP. Looking forward to the CP crossing into 3 figures.
Almost at 300k iso too. Very much in unfamiliar waters just now!
