in MPQ General Discussion
Just got a pop up about this new cool Avengers Assemble Legendary Store.  You can get IM46, Black Widow or Hawkeye at a 1:7 chance.  Cool.  Wait....the only way to get these tokens is from the Avengers & Friends Vault.  Ok so how many are in here?  Oh...only 1.  How many other covers?  79.  Wow.  So you have a 1:80 chance for the LT for a 1:7 chance for one of these 5*.  Better not pull a dupe, they won't exchange it.  Good Luck.

    I got the Daily deal from the vault and got a Carnage cover. That champion level was good for a Legendary token. So I'm happy. I will only get the single pull Daily deals for the Three Days this vault runs though.

    You forgot that it's a wonderful deal that looks like is so limited time wise (3 days) that you can only spend $$$ to buy those tokens, to try to get that Token, to try and get that 5*

    Is this where this game goes towards? a worse-than-casinos-chances gambling??

    [Edit: Seems there are a few other Disney content games that take the "gambling" approach more aggressively, and they are getting quite the heat from their player base:

    I would like to see a similar "boycott" for MPQ, but i highly doubt that. What history has shown, is that whenever similar idiotic and 0 meaning changes are made, players here just end up spending more $$$ in this game somehow (OML NERF, cheating going unpunished etc). And i am more than certain that before the end of the year, even the few that have stopped spending due to those reasons will probably make a wallet dive as well...]

    But you can buy a 40-pack at the Daily deal price! Buy one today and one tomorrow and you get a free vault reset! Then you can buy two more Before the vault ends (depending on time zones) and get two guaranteed Legendary tokens for only 39200 HP!

    (Yeah, I definitely don't plan to overspend in this vault. I am already critically low on HP as it is...)

    We could spend CP on Cosmic Encounters and Friends From Work - why not on Avengers Assemble!?

    Because we are supposed to spend HP in the vault to get the token instead, obviously. If we could just buy the tokens directly there would be like no interest in the vault.

    Weren't there associated vaults for CE and FFW?

    I think this store is hilarious. A clear HP suck.

    This new store is a test for how we will pull 6* covers

    I don't Think there was one for Friends from Work (there was the Sakaar tokens though), but there was a one-time vault with 3* Gambit covers and a Mes Amis token if I recall correctly. This vault can be reset unlike earlier vaults with limited Legendary tokens though.

    It's scary because it might be true.

    No it isn't. There is no way they'd roll out 6* characters that can be purchased with CP or HP (and if they did, they would use CP, and this store is an HP sink and has nothing to do with CP). They'd do exactly what they did with 5*s, and make a rare token that has a chance of giving them, and maybe add in a rare currency that can be collected to buy those tokens. They would keep it wholly separate from the CP/HP market to maintain control over 6* proliferation.

    I may be a big naysayer sometimes, but my gut (as reliable as it is) says that there are no 6*s on the horizon.

    The more likely is that the devs, in their infinite wisdom, think that they are helping us by making classic 5s a little more accessible.  If by more accessible you mean a 1 in 80 chance of a 1 in 20 chance.  I just don't think they thought it through completely.

    I'm pretty sure they thought it out exactly how they wanted it to work.

    Dont be silly. You'll have to pass through two more vaults prior to getting a token for the chance of a 6*.  ;)

    I shall pass on this offer though. These ridiculous stores make it very easy to.

    Its like the front half of the offer and they are waiting to turn on the back half of:

    Event that gives lots of avenger vault tokens.
    Option to pay 20cp for a pull?

    But seriously wasn't there supposed to be some other things that go with this offer?  Seems incomplete

    Most absurdly untempting store I’ve ever seen. Makes me hesitant to even purchase anything from the game. Lame.

    Dear whales, 
    Here is a store offering a good chance to cover Black Widow, Hawkeye, and 5*IM.  So after you buy all your HP, you can consider using some here.

    Everyone else, thank you for playing Marvel Puzzle Quest!

    The Devs
