    I'm wondering how multi-opening tokens and shards will work. Say you have Str3nge targeted and already 100 shards. You open 50 standard tokens and get 300 shards. Target reached, and 100 shards left. Will it start another Str3nge?
    Shards don't auto-spend. So you'll have 400/300 Shards sitting on Strange. Same as how you can have 17/5 Saved covers of a character.
    But if I should claim Strange, would the remaining 100 shards stay on Strange?

    @IceIX

    Is there a cap/maximum number of shards a character can have?

    Yes. Just as if you claimed that 17/5 Saved Covers, you'd still have 12/5 Saved Covers.

    Okay, pausing on the enemies turn, especially when you know you're routed and need to retreat is a terrific QOL improvement. As is the standard cover open multiple option. I still think shards operating as a replacement for BH instead of being in addition to BH is a step in the wrong direction. Especially if shards aren't just going to a default neutral color pool in each tier (3*, 4* and 5*). Way too many opportunities for someone to mess up with their rosters.

    Pausing on the enemy's turn?  Yes!

    One-click standard token opening?  Yes!

    Shards? Cautiously excited/optimistic!

    This! Every word

    Yaaaaay!  Thanks @IceIX
    Hopefully this option gets added to other levels of tokens at some point.  Of course, we need to see how it will shake out for shards.  Could be very good for that when opening a bunch of heroics with a 4* in mind!

    Five periods?  Selene?  She's been around that many historic periods.

    Want it to be Shard instead, and a time traveller so may fit...(..)

    This is actually, pretty huge and provides a lot more flexibility in roster building.  Thanks!

    I just opened over 700 standard tickets the other day, definite thumbs up on the 50 at a time feature!

    @IceIX

    Will the current Favorited heroes continue to be Favorited once Shards are live?  Or will players need to re-select Favorites?

    Also, will the current Shield Rank level for BH (you need to be Rank 8) remain the same for Shards?

    Whoever you have Favorited will stay that way. They'll just have shiny new tier icons.

    Unlock requirements are the same for Shards as for BHs, yes.

      R191 rules!

      nice to see more work being done on the game.

      now if we get a feeder, a rework and sc10 R191 might go down as the greatest day in mpq history.

      Insert a new game mode and the beginning of the sixth year of mpq could never be overrun

      @IceIX if it is deemed that this open 50 standard token is a success, will D3/Demi look into doing this with Heroics, Mighty, Elite and LT’s? they could all be different levels as well but would be awesome if this does come true.

      Probably they are still debating whether to give a handful (one in each hand) of shards or a pinch of shard...  :p
