I might be crazy...

Is it just me or are the 10 and 40 packs a complete waste of HP. I'm just taking this at face value and not really doing any math here so if someone has done the research by all means correct me, but the regular heroic token is 100 HP with the daily deal and the ten pack is 2800HP. Now math was never my strong suit but that's a lot more than ten times the price so I'm not really seeing the advantage at this price increase even though the odds are slightly better than a single token. Any thoughts?

    Multipacks are good if you're a newcomer. It lets you flesh out your rosters and have different characters needed to unlock certain PVE nodes. It's also the only way for you to get a specific cover since you cannot buy a cover you don't not own. This in itself is good and bad.

    I've bought a couple of 10 packs, but this was when they still had 100% guaranteed chance, and solely for PVE. The 40x do have a slight advantage over the 10x so you weigh the pros and cons. Does the immediate advantage of spending 25$-30$ give you an increased power boost vs flat out buying a 3* cover at 1250.

    The caveat, all things can be unlocked over time on MPQ. It's up to you how badly you want it now.

    ^ this is a good answer. Just want to emphasize the larger packs are all about the NOW factor. The odds are higher for 3* or featured characters in the 10x and 40x packs, so that's one thing. But also you get all those tokens NOW. Sure you can get them cheaper buying them individually, but that's 10 days of buying a token a day (you only get the daily deal once a day), and if you spent some money on the game, chances are you're more interested in it helping you immediately, not later so you can save a little.
  • thanks Mohio I had no idea that you only got the daily deal once per day I don't think i've ever tried to get it more than once a day anyways lol

    Even a single token at 100HP is a waste, but indeed if one feel like heroic is useful better buy one daily. The old pack were somewhat useful for providing a guaranteed *** character so people bought those for access to essential nodes. With that gone all left is a huge price tag to obtain an army of bagman covers.

    Nasty. Just you wait. One if these days Bagman is going to take off his mask and show everyone he is actually 4**** the thing. Then who will be laughing? Speaking of which..I need go open 3-4 more slots so I can get some more Bagman room for whenever I open the season 10 packs...
