    as always, I will speak with my wallet. You could have 100 comments here telling them the single pull is too expensive but nothing will speak like poor sales numbers

    I will buy the one daily 50hp - and the whole thing if I need the 4*

    I don't understand the outrage at these types of things, you don't like it don't buy it, it is not a broken feature or anything like that.

    Right now there's only 1 4 star.png cover in game I'd buy out a vault for

    I think part of the problem is there's nothing else new right now for people to lose their minds about.

    I'll throw in with the latest comments, don't complain here, just vote with your money. I threw down the 50HP and got a star.pngstar.pngicon_bullseye.png! I know you are all jelly.

    I wish they'd tell us the characters for all 7 vaults up front. That's a lot of potential hero point spend crammed into one week and liable to generate buyers remorse for someone. I'd hate to buy a Moon Knight tomorrow and miss out on a Peggy later or conversely pass on a cover tomorrow and the the final vaults are Mr Fantastic, Spider Gwen and Sam Wilson.

    Yeah, that no doubt is part of it. 5th run of Juggs this year. Off-season PvP. Not exactly exciting times.

    Clearly they're still testing.

    Indeed. Which I think also plays into some of the exasperation, considering statements like:
    We never mean for players to be beta testers

    I don't think that's really true. The last thread like this actually took rage focus away from the horrible level up button, which was pretty bad. I think that fire would have burned longer had a new fire not stolen it's thunder. I think even if there was a new event people would be talking about the pleasure or displeasure with these.

    The new vault successfully got me to buy the daily deal, but no more, and I haven't bought anything from the previous vaults. So it's at least a step in the right direction.

    Well that's just dumb, one of the reason we got a daily deal and single pull back IS because people complained here about the last vault.

    Do people forget this is a consumer product and that feedback whether positive or negative does have influence. Instead, it's boo hoo my Internet forum has negative comments. And there is a big difference between voicing dissatisfaction and outrage...boss rush was outrage...galactus 1 was outrage...

    Not of interest to me. I might have been tempted had the 10 packs still been there but I'm not buying 20's. Bought the 50hp, got a **** Ares, and will leave it at that.

    You have no way of knowing that unless you work for them company and/or they told you...
    They could have done it because no one bought the last one (at least not the volumes they wanted).
    They could have planned x number of tests before they started and are running them all regardless of any feedback or numbers (the fact that this references Christmas makes this seem kinda likely IMO).

    Fact is you don't know. IMO it's more likely one of the above two happened, but I certainly don't know either and I'm not going to pretend that I do.

    So I have read some comments and I have posted my initial thoughts earlier. Here is my thought now. I am not going to pull the daily deal if I don't need the 4* cover. In fact I will only pull the 20 pack if it is a cover I really want and need. If I use 50 HP a day it is basically going to be what 500 ISO a day if you get lucky?? If it is a 4* I want and need I see value in spending 3600 HP. I would prefer to take a chance at 1500-2000 HP for a 10 pack. Overall spending 3500 for 7 single chances feels much more of a waste then spending 3600 1-2 times in 7 days. At least spending 3600 gives you s 20 in 21 odds of getting the 4*.

    Also there are only a small number of characters I would pull for Peggy carter, Luke cage and probably medusa. Everyone else I would probably pass.

    Obviously making a last minute grab for your Christmas money.
    Don't give in , stand fast, stand firm keep the money in your wallet or purse.

    Actually this vault is a great advertisement for a colorless cover. So many people need that one extra cover to complete a character. Get a colorless cover in the vault and sales will increase.

    Next character "Knows all the secrets". My guess is Gwenpool. Especially since the color of the clue is her sploits color.

    I was thinking Professor X, but Gwenpool is a good guess!

    I was going to say Fury.

    Even if it were a cover that I needed, and there's not many of them left, there's no way I'm spending 3650 HP for it. I'll save it for a vault that's worth it. These vaults have too much junk in them.

    Today was HulkBuster and it was black for me. Today was the first I've bought from any of these limited vaults. I only spent 50 and got the 2500, stopped. Had I gotten 250 HP (not an option, but it should be IMO) I probably would have bought a second one even that the 400 HP cost (cause it would have essentially been discounted to 150.

    I still think this is the best of the 3 for me. I would only be the 50 and only if I can use the 4* cover. If they did this vault style regularly, I would be OK with it, especially if it was daily and rotated through all 4*s. I would take it as a 50 HP 5% chance at a 4*, might spend more for final covers. If it's daily and you do it daily odds are you would get a 4* cover once every 20 days or so. You can also save up for the ones you really need.

    Biggest things this still needs:
    1. Option to reset the vault if the 4* cover color isn't usable.
    2. 3-6 HP tokens in the vault so you have a chance to 'win' your money back or 'win' a free retry.
    3. I would also like to 3 pull options: Single, 5x or 10x, and the 20x. I'd prefer to see 5x vs 10x and have a discounted first try on the 5x as well.

    My immediate thought was Fury, but since it was in pink/purple font, I think you are right.

    Exactly! So it's 100hp for ~10% chance of pulling 4* cover, not bad deal especially if you float on thousands of HP.

    It's worth mentioning because I guess some people from different time zones can miss that opportunity (if their time of vault spawning is close to midnight).

    Wait, what? How do you get 2 50hp pulls?
