    Special Offer tokens, weird name for the danger room tokens , or is that what they always call them ?
    It's always been like that. That's the generic name for off season pvp token store.  

    Well, the name "Special offer" only appeared recently, but yeah, it's the standard off-season token. I Always thought it was a Little weird to have two different store with exactly the same Graphics, prices and pull odds, the only difference being the name of the store.

    It's a standard heroic Token, but all of them are a little more than a standard daily deal and a little less than regular price compared to the Heroic Tokens you can get all the time. I have a feeling this would have been the Vintage Heroic off-season vault we used to get back when 4s and 3s were being vaulted.

    13th Drax on the horizon, 9th and 10th Nebula coming soon. Ahh it feels so weird being down to like my last thirty or so covers for my non-limited 4s.

    ...you guys do know you can give out older characters as Story event rewards too, right? It wasn't that long ago that Emma and Nebula was last rewarded, and now here they are again. I expect Dazzler to show up afterwards.

    Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate being able to cover the new characters fairly quickly (Nebula and Dazzler are still unchamped, so I can definitely use more covers for them). It just gets a Little repetetive to see the same ones pop up on the rewards list over and over.

    (Not to mention that Emma at least is no fun as an essential character. Haven't decided on Nebula yet. Dazzler was fun in HoD at least, but that may be due to being paired with Mohawk Storm who complements her well)

    Dazzler kinda got screwed over since she was essentially the placement reward prize for the raid event, even though there officially wasn't one which was dumb, but yeah I won't be surprised if she's an essential in another couple of weeks. I want some love for my Jubilee, Mr. Fantastic,  Venom (Eddie) and Ghost Rider.

    Having thought about it, one reason for the Quick reprise may be that they cannot offer Taskmaster covers again, so the other recent covers got moved up in rotation. Would still be fun to get something a Little less recently awarded.

    I'd agree with you in pretty much any other scenario, but my Nebula and Dazzler need some love so I'm keeping quiet on this one lmao. I blew like 1K CP trying to cover them both and got 1 cover a piece  :D

    I need one more cover for Nebula, so I'll take it.  It's funny because it seems like this is their solution to the dilution issue they brought back when they got rid of the boosted rate for the latest 12 4s, but rather than advertise their solution, they just let everyone get upset.

    Usually there is an announcement post about the upcoming Season, with the name, and normally some updates to the 4* pool as the new 4's are added in.  This season would not add Taskmaster so I assume there's no update post coming.

    Can you confirm that the season starting Thursday with Magnetic Mayhem will be the Time Season, rewarding the last Infinity Stone?

    Apologies, but I'm afraid I don't have any updates to provide just yet.

    Yes. The Time Stone Season should start this Thursday

    What happens after the next season ends?

    Do half of the characters get removed from the game following a Thanos boss event and then we get a new Carol?

    I’m hoping they start running Guantlet events to get Infinity Stone Store Tokens. Just keep each Gauntlet open for a week, potentially from Thursday to Thursday, using that week’s boosted list. Each leg of the Gauntlet could end with a higher rarity token (beginner from leg 1, advanced from 2, and master from 3), and the Infinity Store could include the Stones at slightly higher odds (X2 or X4), along with the limited Supports that are currently only available from limited tokens for new character supports.

    I actually like Emma. Mine is at 11 covers with only 2 in black so I like this reward.

    I kind of wish they'd done these two PvEs the other way around. Just because that way Miles would the featured 4* in the event where he's a major part of ther narrative.
