    i got the 3600 offer. i will not ever be taking it.  the last cover i need for my 2/5/5 moon knight becomes available tomorrow.  if it was 2500 i might convince myself to buy it. but not when i am being price gouged. i have spent a more than decent amount of money on this game since i started playing. but i slowed to only vip last year and will no longer even be doing that now with vaulting and nerfs and what is sure to be the upcoming change to tacos.  i have taken my competitive t50 pve alliance to casual play because i have had members quitting and pretty much everyone else saying they just dont care about this game anymore since the devs have been continually **** us over. this and the abomination of a store you gave us are not the answers to vaulting.  you have been given several good ideas and suggestions but for some reason you must hate your job because you sure are trying to kill this game. stop messing around. the devs need to take the next 6 months and do nothing but implement popular player suggestions and come up with actual realistic ways to counter the **** ups they have been causing. they need to focus on player goodwill and trust instead of incessant money grabs or they will find that there wont be anyone to grab money from.

    2500 for me. No thanks! I stopped putting money in this game due to reasons like this. Instead of fixing the bugs this game has to offer, you instead add these ridiculous stores just to get some extra money (or ingame currency). How about you spend that time to fix the game first?

    The only problem I see is that this doesn't allow you to choose the color. I have most of all the 4's champed. Except for new ones like Danny, but I don't have use for this blue cover so the vault is wasted on me. If I could choose the color then I'd be more apt to purchase, but as it stands I'll get classic characters as they come up in packs. They transitioned the game to 5*, but left there 3's and 4's to bite the dust so to speak.
    The current crop of 4-stars are all their first/top covers. I'm sure they'll rotate.

    So... instead of fixing any of the bugs or adding in fun new content or any true progression into 5* land, they spent months repackaging the same overly expensive weekly 4* vault that apparently was a big failure?

    You know, there's a saying... you can't shine "garbage".

    Also why should I ever pay 3600 hp for something others are getting 2500 for? Please stop using us as unpaid beta testers.
    This is such a silly argument and you have no idea how game development works. There is not just one guy behind the scenes making the game, where he looks at a line items to address.....well...I know there is a bug, but I'll find a way to have players spend more money. There are TEAMS of multiple people doing multiple issues. The marketing guy/gal who came up with this might not know how to program. And would give no benefit to bug fixing.  And if its "garbage" don't play the game.

    Interesting.  The current group doesn't really have a cover that I desperately want, but we'll see what happens if/when an Iceman Purple or Green shows up.  Or a Peggy Blue.

    Is this the obligatory spot where I mention that if the covers had been colorless/choose a color, I may have been interested in the Iron Man, but the cover being Red (of which I have 5) means I completely ignore a facet of the game meant to tempt my wallet?  Thanks for not tempting me, I guess.

    Coincidentally or not, 2500 is the expected amount you would have paid to get a 4* in the old single-character vault if you spent 1000 HP at a time (for 5 items) until you hit the 4*.

    3600 hp for one 4 star cover? Bravo guys. I'll save the snarky comments and just say, pass. Hope it makes you all the money.

    My fervent hope is that the devs don't think this is a valid replacement for the DDQ vault.
    I like this addition, but not if it's just so they can take something else away.

    I view it as a replacement to the 3600 HP weekly character vaults.

    I would pay 2500 HP for a 4* cover if it was one I really needed. As it happens the ones I can see in the fault aren't that necessary and I probably wouldn't by a cover just for a champ level, so this week I chose to roster Cloak and Dagger instead. But if this remains the norm I may try a little harder to keep 2500 hp open (hah) in case a good cover rolls around. I'd be damn lucky to get that cover in 25 days of daily deals

    I've never accumulated 3600 HP in my entire (900+ day) MPQ career -- even now, with every character in the 2*, 3*, and 4* tier rostered (and a few dupes for farming). To set that as the price for a cover means this isn't for anyone but the whaliest of whales.

    Same here. I believe we were supposed to get a new weekly character vault today, but didn't.  That, plus the fact that the two prices (3600 and 2500) corresponded to the costs of a getting a 4* from the weekly character vault if you bought it all and once or 1k at a time make me think this is the replacement for the weekly vault.

    OTOH, today is the 12th and tomorrow, which is the day it begins offering the 4* from Behemoth Burrito, is the 13th, which is the day the taco vault change was scheduled to roll out.

    As for the two different offers, could it be that it will be random which one you'll get each day? I doubt it, since there is also a difference between whether or not you see upcoming offers or not and I can' imagine that would change randomly from day to day.

    This appears to replace the limited character vault which was 7 days, 20 tiems, 3600 hp. So instead of 3600 one/week they now want to milk us for 3600 EVERY DAY
    They have probably not been seeing anywhere near as many sales on the limited vaults after the first day or so, people who need a cover will go for it at the start and if somebody doesn't then having the vault hang around for another week won't change that point.

    These new vaults have a higher turnover, so there is more chance of one with a cover you want in there showing up when you have the hp or are willing to buy some, it is highly unlikely that anyone willing to buy them every day is actually going to be interested in these vaults though.

    I don't get all the complaining; they did not change game mechanics, did not nerf a character you invested in or anything. It's just a store item, you like it "buy",  you don't like it "don't buy". 

    A lot of stuff is legitimate complaints; vaulting, bugs and OML nerf to name a few,  but bringing up those things in every single thread makes us sound like a bunch of whinny little B...s and it's making this forum toxic and unreadable

    On top of it it's kind of a cool store too, completely different concept, tied to a featured character of that day, why not?




    Because I have alliance mates it costs them 2500 but mine is 3600. Also, some people have the choice of 4 star while I only have one option.

    Hit SHIELD rank 80 today. 

    My Heroes for Hire store is for 2500HP. What gives guys? Why do certain people's stores cost more? Stop gouging your customers you greedy tinykitties. I am hard pressed to pay even 2500HP for a store like this since you raised the price of Hero Points to $133 dollars for a Stark. Your in-game currency is way too over-priced.

    Funny thing is when you make a change that affects the whales, your team does whatever to keep them happy but not the ones who have spent hundreds (if not thousands) of hours playing and don't spend a thousand dollars a day.. 

    Pass.

    I understand that it will rotate, but having to wait versus just allowing a player to choose a cover would more benefit them then choosing the covers that will rotate out, they will have more sales versus less sales for players who don't need the cover. Hence I will get no use for this vault for quite a while.

    This is the bigger problem. Why is something rolled out with zero explanation? Why are we guessing the numerous different offers?
