XStatiX Alliances Chit Chat (40/40)

noobprime

Full disclosure on the end of Season story ... I may or may not have stopped at a Ralph's parking lot on the way home to try and grind out the SHulk as well. Hypothetically of course. It was only marginally less sketchy.

If you are foodventurous, and can get a night away from the kids, I HIGHLY recommend Tanuki. The Chef's omakase is a paltry $15-30, and you'll get a ton of excellent high quality food. This last trip I did the $25 and had about 16 different dishes, about 8 small and 8 larger. It's worth much much more. And you can get a shot of sake and can of Hite for $4!! If they were in LA I would probably be there weekly ... actually they would probably have a chair named after me I would be there so often.

Other highlights, Lardo and Carte Blanche - both very kid friendly and terribly excellent. Salt and Straw is kinda mind blowing, but they are opening one in LA soon. For a different date night, the Oregon Culinary Institute runs a restaurant for their students, it's cheapish, a nice experience and I think a good way to help the students out. If you have some free time, the U-Pick farms in Sauvie Island are fun, and again great to do with the kids. I did the Sauvie Island Farms and even got a tractor ride around!

We finished 36th in Combined Arms which is a quality finish.

Nefarious Foes has Psylocke as the reward so more opportunities for people to move up and grab an extra cover.

21 Aug - 28 tokens opened
1* 24
2* 3 (including black Johnny Storm which cover completes him)
3* 1 green Patch.

Gave me enough iso to put another 5 levels into Sentry.

mohio

Not bad. I'm 10k iso off maxing sentry if I were to just dump it all into him. I know he's op and all that, but I keep having to fight the urge to put iso into HT or falcon or BP instead.

Edit: adding my opens since I might forget them...opened 37 standard tokens to get a purple spidey. I think there were 6 2* but I didn't count that well so maybe not

Edit 2: got back to 50 today (8/21) and opened 20 standards and a whopping 29 2* tokens before getting a 3* I don't need in purple falcon. Totally bruised and battered by RNG.

(batters and fries mohio)

so yum

So what is it - you save 50 tokens then you open until you get a 3* then you stop (maybe you have 17 tokens left) then you save up to 50 again?

Is that better somehow? messes with percentages?

mytisbrewin

No it doesn't mess with the percentages, it was a method that Kobalt came up with. It does mean unless you have Noob type luck then you should get at least one 3*. Depending on how many you have to open you get a good iso boost as well or you don't have to wait too long to try again.

AardvarkPepper

Another 50 standard tokens:

3* Captain America, 3* Daredevil
2* Captain America, 2* Hawkeye, 2* Human Torch, 2* Thor x 2, 2* Wolverine x 2

buncha 1*s

Season 5 has started and the alliance prize is a yellow Wolverine X-Force cover so I expect everyone to be putting in 100% in every event. Too Many Secrets has Punisher covers as the prize and there is only just over 5 and half days of ISO-8 Brotherhood left.

I used to do it for top 100, but that is less of a challenge than me finding new gifs, so only for top 50 or non top 100 now.

hi Everyone

So I have my lovely forum signature (thank-you kindly awood) but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add it to my profile - can someone let me have an idiots guide?

cheers

You need to put http://i.imgur.com/R7P54Kv.jpg in between the Img brackets, it needs an extra i. before the imgur and it is slightly misaligned. [imghttp://imgur.com/R7P54Kv][/img]

So only stock up standard tokens? Not heroic ones as well?
