Also was hoarding Latest for Strange and CP since I have no ISO - so I might as well be in also.

Strange came in tokens and I needed ISO...the hoard got pulled and I've had a hard time stopping since.

So who is actually still doing this?
Seems like everyone has dropped out.

I'm still saving up my LTs and CP, currently at 6/319 respectively.

Trying to hoard other tokens but having limited success

Stay strong, everybody! Almost there...just over a week, and we can have one big token festival!

yanked mine. got an extra strang3 out of one and some other stuff. kept track of stds elites and heroics but stopped recording when I got to the event tokens. I was nearly asleep. anyway. really hard to hoard when its not necessary for your roster.

I have not been an active participant in No-Pull November, but I have been following this thread and coincidentally began hoarding LTs and CP around the start of November for my own reasons... I had suddenly max-covered 3 characters and instead of opening tokens as I go and potentially being stuck with multiple covers that will expire before I champion the character, I decided to save up ISO and champ as I get 14th covers for the ones I have maxed. I've been opening all other tokens (sorry, No-Pullers) but it's been fun to watch everyone's progress this month.

At this point it looks like I may make it all month before touching any legendary tokens, and I was amused last night when I hit 404 Command Points. It's like my account is saying, Error 404: Legendary Token Not Found.

And then this morning I randomly received 7 CP from an anonymous, generous alliance member, so my new total is: 411 CP. So I now officially have the 411 on Command Points.

I also have 8 Latest Legendary Tokens waiting, but I don't find that nearly as cool as 404 or 411.

We are accepting late applications. As you can see, turnover is an issue here. Such a lack of discipline!

Confession: I broke the pledge and opened standards, elites & heroics to get ISO to champ Thing for this boosted week. I make no apologies for that as it's made pvp easier alongside the Agent Venom release.
I do apologise for opening some event tokens that weren't needed to champ him; a word of warning; once you open the tap, it's hard to stem the flow.
381 Cp and 8 LT though didn't get touched, alongside tacos and assorted event tokens.

YOUR DISCIPLINARY HEARING IS BEING SCHEDULED!

THIS GUY, TOO

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH CANDIDATES!

In case you hadn't noticed, I am really getting a kick out of this. Here's me, for reference:

• 380 silver
• 135 elite
• 249 mixed gold
• 2 Heroic 10-packs
• 55 legendary
• 895 CP

I am getting more excited about the end of season than usual. FUN!

Since I fell off the wagon last week I've been struggling to scramble on board again. I've had some seriously good/bad token-pulling luck in the last couple of days*, though, so I feel like I need to start marshalling my resources once more. Lightning round day seems a good time to start.

LT: 12 (+4)
CP: 555 (+128)


* E.g. opened heroic token hoping for 2* champ level. Got Teen Jean green. And now I have to scramble for the HP to roster her.

I am really curious to see your pull this season. Are you going to go full LL ? or you will open from both?

I am saving CPs, but I am not strong enough to not open my LTs. I opened 5, and got nothing AGAIN, raising my no-5 streak to 20. I should have waited and opened everything together. LLs really hate me.

JVReal

I usually only ever pull LT's from LL, and Classic for my CP, but with hoarding, I currently have 250 CP, and 6 LL Tokens, so I just might pull all from LL this time when November is up... then again... I still have no OML... so I would like at least 1 of those... I'm so torn.

monsieurmojo

I was championing all of my 3*s (and have recently begun to champion a few 4*) while he's been available, and have ended up with a 5/2/1 Black Bolt. I have to pull nothing but LLs until he leaves that pool.

Beginning to think that's the only pool worth pulling from any more.

Stay strong! Still part of the hoard horde here

Gonna keep trucking into December too!

I've kept meaning to post a reply here ... but have kept forgetting to do so.

I joined up with No-Pull November when I first saw the post (probably on October 31). Over the first few weeks of the month, I more and more enjoyed the huge stockpile I was building. Once I got past the initial shakes on the first couple of days, I just forgot about the stash, except in the most cerebral sense; the various progression and placement rewards (and the late addition of the Intercepts) certainly helped with this.

Around about the end of the Power Gem Season, I got to thinking that I wanted to continue hoarding after cashing in in December, since I was enjoying it so much. However, it made more sense to me to tie in my opening parties to the end of the PVP season, rather than just the calendar month. So right before Time Gem Season began, I went ahead and opened up all of my tokens (except for Legendary Tokens and Command Points). This was what I got in those 18 days of saving:

at start:
SHIELD Rank 63 (3/2025 XP)
279092 Iso-8
220 Hero Points
300 Command Points

after opening tokens:
SHIELD Rank 63 (567/2025 XP)

after applying covers (including the sale of one 2*):
SHIELD Rank 63 (1760/2025 XP)
435542 Iso-8
1295 Hero Points
321 Command Points

The actual haul:

86 standard tokens
7 1*, 2* Storm, (2) 2* Human Torch (8) 2* Moonstone (11) 3* Gamora (2) 2* Hawkeye (20) 2* Ares (6) 2* Ares (11) 2* Moonstone (10) 2* Black Widow

I feel for you sir and I pray that I get a better return of 4* next week .

I like this idea... I like hoarding, but can't do it for too extended a period of time...

I think after No-Pull November, I'm switching over to a No-Pull Season routine, and only pull everything either at the end of the Season or just at the start of the next season (to benefit from the new releases being added to token pools which usually happens at the start of new seasons).

For now... Stay Strong this Holiday Weekend.

Remember, don't drink & pull. Play Responsibly.

Because when you drink and pull, they can look Coyote Ugly in the morning....

Slightly surprised by how quickly they mount up. My finger's been itching to open them all day, so I'm posting this to keep myself honest.

Standard: 31
Elite: 10
Heroic: 4
Legendary: 13
CP: 566

I have, as I originally said I would, still been opening vault tokens. I'm going to try to leave any Prodigal Sun ones until next week, though, because the vault will still be open.

Tacos are fair game, though. A girl's got to have some fun, right?

CT1888

Since my disciplinary I've been behaving myself, but the season 10 pack came in today, and I was off work, so been fighting that itchy finger.
Back up to 129 tokens and 439 Cp.

Another 7 days....and all of a sudden the month of November has gone into slow motion.
