3* Strange is in the DDQ vault today! Open your Taco hoard and champ him! Plus you'll need those healthpacks for Heroic Juggs PVE and BFF PVP icon_e_biggrin.gif

Also last day for the Agent Venom vault. Don't let this "deal" pass you by! icon_lol.gif

Update: I opened my 130 Taco stockpile and I only opened 1 Strange at literally the last taco! It was Blue so I am happy but geez I figured by now he would be champed and ready. This is after I opened over 200 Heroics and still have not pulled one. Good luck everyone!

    Annoyed at work I read this and thought boo world. I had quite a bit of coins saved up and I thought id try and win a Strange cover on the spur of the moment. I need a few blues I think to be able to champ him yet. Brought a ten pack. Nothing.

    That’s fine. I’ll buy another one. Nothing.

    ………………………..

    I went for a 3rd. “”WHY!!!!!!!!!!!! WHYYYYYYY!!!!!” you cry, “” are you insane? “” In hindsight Yes. Yes I am. Guess what the pull was……………………………………. Nothing.

    30 pulls and not one Strange cover.

    Anyone seen the film “ Falling Down “ ? I’m about there

    In a vault consisting of 300 items, you are going to have to be extremely lucky to get the one you want, even in 30 pulls.

    I only have about 30 pulls from each taco vault, so I'm not blowing those 30 on a 1.67% chance for a character I've already got champed. As much as I would love to give him another 5 levels, my tokens aren't there and I'm trying to actually save up to a high number for the first time.

    Also I think I'll let the 'deal' on Agent Venom slide just like I let the slightly better, but ultimately also terrible 20 token 4* vaults.

    Oh I'm sympathetic to your pain. Just realistic too. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I was tempted myself with me both needing blue and purple. However, I came to my senses when I realised the size of the vault. I'll hold off until he features in a much smaller vault.

    I am sorry Yoik. I said open your stockpile, not go on a spending spree icon_lol.gif

    But you'll get 10 tacos this week so perhaps you'll get lucky icon_e_biggrin.gif

    If there are 3 possible successes in your vault and you have 30 tokens, you've got around a 25% chance of getting 1 or more covers. Good luck!
  • Had saved up 300 taco tokens, and was hoping to use them to champion strange when he came to the vault.

    You both inspired me. I have 180 tokens stockpiled, and a 2/5/5 drstrange_icon.png . I'd prefer to save my tokens for a 4* I'm in desperate need of, and I'm swimming in HP at the moment. So why not? I bought a 10 pack. In order:

    And number 10 was .....

    Huzzah. The 13th cover, and the saviour of my purpleflag.png cover wilting on the vine. Now he's champed and L167!

    Woohoo!

    The Taco Vault really needs to have the number of items in it reduced. If I remember correctly, it was one of the first vaults in the game and so even though it had 300 items it was pretty exciting. But now when we have 20 and 80-item vaults all the time, the Taco Vault just looks antiquated. I'm sure D3 would get many more people spending HP on this vault if it had fewer items.

    Went through stockpile of 30 and the 2 new earned. Only rares pulled were 2 Quicksilver and 2 Black Panther. Hope he rotates into the Sweet vault in a couple months. Got 58 of those tokens. Well, 8 more chances this week too.

    Guess i got extremely lucky in my first 10 pulls.
    Pulled Iron Fist on 1st pull, Strange on 3rd, Scarlet on 10th. with 2 250hp in between.

    icon_e_wink.gif fair enough. I should of stopped after 1 attempt tbh. But the reels said " one more time! "

    Pretty good spread, but as noted above I'm not in a position where it makes a huge amount of sense to open so I'll keep on hording.

    Oh and by the looks of things the cover on offer in the DDQ later is purpleflag.png

    Think I'll continue hoarding, even if I got super lucky and pulled the 3 yellowflag.png , I 'd still not be able to champ which is dissapointing

    Edit - just noticed one of the 4 star.png is Thoress redflag.png , I need that to get her to 13 and could become my first champ. Off to open my tokens...

    Edit again - not that my hoard was big, 16 tokens without this week stuff, but pulled only 1 3 star.png from those... a yellowflag.png Strange!!

    2/5/2, and my vault has three purpleflag.png and two blueflag.png .

    So like a moron even though most of what I have the ability to get from DDQ/the vault this week I can't use, I went ahead and opened my modest ten-token stockpile and the two I earned today.

    Two Magneto (2), two Daken (2), a Captain Marvel (2) and the rest was ISO and health packs.

    Yay?

    Hopefully I get one of the blue covers with the final 8 tacos of the week. At least then I'd get SOME growth for him.

    All this makes me wonder: what determines the cover distribution in each player's vault? I had assumed everyone's contents were the same...

    Always consider the odds before buying tokens. 5 covers out of 300 is 1.66%, purchasing a 10 pack gives you a 16.6% chance, 3 x 10 packs gives you a 50% chance, which is good, but not guaranteed. It's probably better to just spend 20 CP to buy the 3* Strange Covers you need.
