    I just got 2 5* from just 2 pulls in Classics. And now i have a minimini hoard of LT for when Kingpin enters Latest. Still 1:7 chance, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

    My favorite (and some will say apropos) thing about the demiurge home page is the main splash links to this story:

    24 Oct 2013
    It’s been three weeks since Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign hit the App and Google Play Stores...

    So if they haven't updated their own website in over 5 years, maybe, just maybe we shouldn't complain when a data push is a day or two behind. By these standards, it's still light speed!


    We've lost a whole day of being able to complain about how Kingpin is terrible though! Compensation! ( Not Kingpin covers though...)

    Considering how big he is he should probably count double, let's get those odds to 2:7.

    If that's the case he'll probably occupy 2 roster slots.

    I'm pretty sure that D3 is based in the US West. You realize that if someone's work day there starts at 8am (as an example), that is already a half hour after the normal data push time, right?

    I certainly would like if we got announcement posts before finding things in-game (*cough* Supports/Vaults) but I am going to cut Brigby some slack on his first day back.
    Demiurge, the developers, the ones doing data pushes, are in Boston.
    Well, learn something new everyday. I thought it was the other way around. I thought d3 ate the devs and Demi was the publisher. 


    Clearly I cared enough to pay attention. :tongue:

    Oh man...no matter what we can't get a break!

    We got compensation for the connection issues, which I would assume is part of a data push?
    But no Kingpin in Latest yet...

    There are actually eleven data pushes today, and Kingpin is scheduled for the tenth one.

    Is there anything so special about alsof this one, that hasnt been done plenty times before, that the devs couldnt do this in first data push? And havent been able to deal with this for last 6h?

    They were busy for most of today looking behind the sofa to find enough HP and ISO to send out for the server outage. 

    Now that they've done that they can get on to the task of identifying the correct character out of 3 to move out of latest and finding room to fit KP in.

    50 pulls, 5 5*s, no bonus 5*, 3 bonus 4*s
    All I wanted was 1 Kingpin and 1 Kitty.
    What I got was 3 Cable and 2 Kitty.
    I had 50 more tokens but stopped. I'll just live without Kingpin until he's about to rotate out.

    My best pull rate ever. Around 125 pulls, 10 Kitty, 8 Kingpin, 7 Cable, (a 20% 5* rate!) plus two 5* BH. Felt good enough to spend a couple hundred CP on Classics and got a few Classic 5*s for champ levels and was finally able to champ Black Panther. If only every hoard-bust was so productive! Kind of starts to make up for the terrible pull rates I've had the last three times.

    Ah, that's where my 5* went. Please return them to me, rixmith.

    :D. I'll be glad to send a few extra Wasp covers your way...

    Made about 120 ish pulls. In addition to getting every 4* to at least 10 covers (with the exception of taskmaster and spider ham, obviously), I managed to get 9 Kingpins, 6 Kittys and 4 Cables.

    All in all, I’m extremely happy with the results, but I do wish that I could have pulled the 2 extra Kitty covers I still needed. Maybe I’ll just have to wait for a feeder, or try again just before she leaves

    140 pulls. 26 5*s. Roughly 19% so pretty darn good.

    15 Kingpin covers. 15! Where's that kind of pull rate when it's someone good? 11 of those pulls were for his green! 6 Kitty and 5 Cable covers. Enough to champ both. No 5* BH. :(:(

    All I wanted was to cover Kitty, luckily I manged to get her 13th cover on the last batch of pulls. I also manged to champ all the newer 4*s (Domino, Bishop, Uncle Prowler) leaving only Taskmaster and Spider-Ham. Debating on whether to start hoarding again or hope that I can manage a few more Kitty covers.
