    I understand Carol is Captain Marvel and there's a movie and all that jazz, but supports aren't something worth getting excited for.

    I would have been way more excited if to celebrate Captain Marvel we got Mar-Vell and Monica Rambeau. Maybe for the movie.

    So the Carol specific support only gives the Carol specific buff on the 3 star? Ok......

    I like Carol's Communicator because of its true heal perk and damage reduction perk. I assume it's a true heal perk because I think Lucky Support also has true heal perk.

    It seems that they increased the odds from 1:27 to 1:24, and they increased the number of Master Token by 1, I think. 

    Hopefully, we'll get 1 free Token to 50 years vault, 3 tokens to the Arsenal vault, 4 to 6 beginner tokens and 2 advanced tokens. 

    Thanks for the free 3* cover too.

    Please tell me there will be another pleasant surprise next week and there will be some Support tokens handed out as a log-in bonus? That would be pretty much the only thing to make this even slightly interesting in my opinion.

    Mind you, the 41 item Vault looks like a decent value offer to spend some HP on. That is all...

    50 Years of Carol Danvers and MPQ celebrates it like any other 2 week release. So basically this is the new repeated and redundant template for new releases or celebrations. The same 2 HFH offers with only the available cover changed, but everything else included in the offers is the same as always. Same 41 item vault as the Ghost release. Same 280 item Support vault with more than half of it being 2*'s. Can't forget the release of new character specific Supports to celebrate a new Marvel movie just like they did for the Black Panther movie. This is getting old fast. Not worth any investment of CP, HP, or real money.

    Why are none of these for Captain Marvel - Carol Danvers?
    As in the one everyone wants covered because she's awesome. The newer one. The 4* one.

    Honestly I REALLY hope they stop making isolated specfic character supports.
    Spider-sense for instance should surely have a Peter Parker synergy perk for example.
    And instead of making a support that gives an additional bonus to only Modern Carol, how about every inception of Carol? 
    Supports are falling flat as it is, reducing their usefulness if not equipped to a singular character is a bit of a slap in the face... especially considering how many dupes we have of the same characters all across the board.

    Ok seriously.  I posted a question in the previous release for supports on asking about the statistics of how often people are spending HP on these vaults.  I am currently sitting on 20k HP and I actually want some of these supports.  With how horrible the odds are in this vault I just can’t see myself buying a 40 pack for 10k and being disappointed.  I don’t know the statistics of people whaling supports but would like to know.

    devs I will tell you this you changed the cascade mechanic because of the perception players have when the AI gets cascades.  Why do you think a similar psychology does not pertain to vaults and RNG.  When you buy a 10 pack or worse a 40 pack and don’t get the prize you want it can feel like the game is rigged.  Also when you do get the support token and you get a duplicate support it feels even worse.  

    Here are are a couple of suggestions if you buy a 30 pack you are garunteede the master support token, or you are garunteed one of the new supports at level 4.  This means by spending 10k HP you are getting something good that you want.
    suggestion number 2.  Instead of giving out red iso for duplicate supports allow beginner supports give an extra level to your support up to level 3 if it is level 3 or higher than you get the red iso.  For advanced supports you can increase from level 3 up to 5.  This way your duplicate support is adding instead of just red iso.

    lastly start adding support tokens to progression in PVP and PVE in CL9 they should be advanced tokens to encourage players to play higher CL.

    please fix how you roll out supports I want to like supports but they 120/280 item vaults to get an opportunity to get a support you may or may not have  sucks.  You have a massive system of RNG on too many levels for supports.

    From personal experience, these vaults are badly mislabelled.  A current one should be Ghost and 2* Foes, for example.  The particular one mentioned here has a superfluous "nal".

    This is waaaaaay too many.  Kills the urge to take a chance on a larger pack.

    I saw in one of the MPQ topic in reddit yesterday about a player maxing out at least 6 of his/her supports. There are whales out there who love supports. I wonder how much money they have spent.

    You can get guaranteed Master Token for 250cp though.  Support is still in its early stage so all these calls for easier way of getting Master Tokens or more guaranteed way of getting Master Tokens are likely to be on the back burner. Let's start small with an easier way to get Beginner Token, rather than bypassing both Beginner and Advanced Tokens and then jumping to Master Tokens.

    Maxing out lvl 50 to 5-250 is a lot different.  Now that you can see these, you can look at many different rosters.  Here is the thing, somebody that was won 2 seasons and spends A LOT of money doesn’t even have the one stone to 200 yet. It is only 140. They have 0 maxed supports.   I would be very suspicious of anybody that says they have them maxed without a SS.

    That poster posted a screenshot of it. It's on the first page and the topic is "just how?".

    Edit: I'm not talking about maxing stone supports, but other supports in general.

    If you are having trouble firing 3* Carol's red power to the extent you need a +2 red AP boost then I don't think even this Support will help you. Not that it is worth firing her red. Of course, if this perk gave the damage boost for destroying enemy protect tiles, then it would be quite a decent buff for her red. I guess the rank 5 power works with 3* Carol but I would probably equip this Support to Medusa, not that I will ever get it.
