    Definitely a nerf to the courageous tokens... And the token packs if this keeps up. I guess there is the upside of not getting the same featured 2* 6x in a 10-Pack... now you will probably get the featured 2* twice and 4x random two stars. So there will be more variety in the packs. It's all iso to me but it might be better for newer players who are still looking to expand their rosters.

    They've greatly Increased Overall HP. They're Running Lots Of Events. With Less 2 Star Covers OnPvp's. They do SeeM To Be In The Process Of A Paradigm shift. I'll Wait Till They Finish Before I Worry Too Much.

    I didn't know about this, I'm thinking coooooome on black hulk. There was no black hulk. Hawkeye and Thor. Hulk sad icon_e_sad.gif alliance chat is like "didn't you read all the posts about that?"

    On the plus side I wasn't able to finish my last match in time to get 2nd and ended up in third, it reminded me of a lovely evening mtgoferret and I spent together in a patch lightning round. Thoooooose were the daaaaaaaaays.

    But yeah... Now that all 2* covers are basically useless to me except for the massive ISO (woo 141 BP!) this makes lightning rounds even less appealing. That being said, playing with buffed patch is always fun. Mmmmm... Slashy slashy

    So you are saying that if every forum member complained, it still wouldn't be enough to trigger Anger. icon_e_wink.gif

    Yeah, what the hell was I thinking.

    So now I'm staying instead. Thanks for talking me out of this. I wouldn't have changed my mind if you hadn't opened your mouth. I really appreciate what you are doing to get me to stay.

    Almost all 3.8 thousand forum members agree, this change is horrible, bad for the game and overall a terrible indication for where the game might be headed. Dev's please reverse course immediately.

    I'm usually more verbose, but I'm so tinykitty mad over my LR win with 3x 2* champs as a reward that I'll get banned if I write more about this situation, as profanity is on the tip of my tongue.

    I wont quit the game, but I've decided not spend anymore money in this game until they get 2 things right in a row as developers. No more 1 step forward, 2 giant steps backward.

    'Nuff Said,
    NazgulPrime

    P.S. - I want my Human Torch progression rewards you tinykitty, tinykitty, tinykitty Devs...

    My joke aside, I'm somewhat disappointed... but that's where my level is so far. I was never a big fan of the Hero LR reward structure so this is just taking that even further. If the Villain LR rounds still have the same structure for Top 25 positions and makes this change at Top 26-50 range where the Diabolical tokens sit, then it will suck for me personally since that is the target I tend to shoot for, but I wouldn't call it horrible overall. If Speed Evil gets a complete revamp to these PvX-level event tokens, then yes, that would be pretty bad.

    Maybe they should just rename the Hero LR into 'MMR Adjustment Tournament' now icon_e_smile.gif

    Oh, and personally, If find it very unfair that they're still displaying 3 stars on the courage token in the reward screen when they are effectively ** tokens now.

    Thats what got me, had only ever tanked in these hero LR's before last night but thought to myself, you know why not just spend the next 65 minutes happy slapping to get me some easy 3* tokens. Got to top 25 and decided happy to stay there and just get 1 token as the wife was trying to talk to me. Received my token, pulled it and saw Moonstone!! **** came out of my mouth and the wife thought I was talking to her. Had to explain that not only is she wonderful but that the devs of my second life partner had just fcked me from behind and not even asked if I wanted a reacharound. Not a happy bunny!!

    If you're implying that top placement in LRs should be casually attainable by players which are, in every way, "the norm," then why even bother maintaining a facade of "competition"? Everyone should simply take turns "winning."

    My implications are that if you were actively using LR's as a means of getting 3* covers reliably, then you were in the top 5% percentile of people playing this game.

    And I don't think that it is unreasonable to assert that given how we are all discussing this on the forums, for what would otherwise be a very casual cell phone bejewelled game.

    You really need to start using the preview feature. Every time you quote someone, it's messed up or misattributed.

    Figured I would see what the tokens would get me so I pushed in the BWGS last night. Did quite well, was very happy til the pulls resulted in Hawkeye. Why, why would they make the 26-50 range only barely less attractive than a top 8 placement? At least quadruple the chance of pulling a featured. Playing for almost an hour and a half to pull Hawkeyes? LRs are just for tanking now, or maybe shoot for the two heroics.

    The top 5% of people playing MPQ are done with LRs beyond farming iso and tanking. He would be in the top 5% of LR participants though.

    I've heard people say they've got the new CA/HT from courageous tokens. Do standard/heroic tokens now give the new heroes or is it just courageous?
