    Heroic tokens with a limited set of 4*s?  Looks like almost all the best ones, less bishop and blade but plus xfw. Not yet clear how they will be earned, but presumably some events will give most players a handful of them, with more available for HP.

    Huh. More stuff that seems like Demi is trying to mitigate dilution for classic/vintage characters (and bleed resources from the players). 

    What do people think?
    I think you buy them or nothing.  No earning these tokens.

    And yeah, mitigating dilution with premium pricing.
    Is this then an admission that a return to full dilution is not achieving what they hoped it would (never actually stated but assumed to be slowing player progress through the 4* tier via a bottleneck)?

    On the contrary, I think this is the cool drink of water being offered to the person dying in the desert, for the low price of all your hp. I would take a store like this to mean that 4* progress IS being slowed down, and it's a way for people to buy their way out of it.

    XFW is almost always on the boosted list for boss events and he excels in them. I can see why he's there.

    Yeah, Nightcrawler was the only real surprise, but I'm not sure who I would have expected in his place, to be honest.

    Thanks but I’ll leave it, considering the cost you would at least expect better odds 

    i can get my 2*s for free in DDQ and elite tokens 

    I won’t be spending in the support vault either

    It's just a heroic with a limited pool of 4's.  IF they had improved the 4* drop odds, then maybe it would be worth it.

    Not worth the significant different in price.
    A heroic token with limited 4*s AND no daily pricing.

    Too rich for me.  Good luck to anyone that buys in on this one

    I see eleven four stars, not ten. The ten listed plus Namor hiding in amongst the three stars.

    Too many two and three stars. This is basically a more expensive taco token.

    Carnage
    I would’ve suggested some duo of Carnage, iceman, or mockingbird for XFW and Nightcrawler personally.

    Or Rogue. In a store that offered some kind of value.
    I don't spend 200HP on the pvp stores nor for more than the daily on a heroic. And I certainly don't pull expecting a 4- star, though this store is presented as if that is what you will get. Misleading advertising.

    That's the funny part.  If it was 375 straight up for a 4 star with no chance of a 3 or 2, some of us would still hesitate.

    A more expensive heroic with the same odds of pulling fewer 4*s...
