    Shall we presume that when Mighties are added as rewards that they are replacing "lesser" rewards instead of being "in addition to"?

    Heroics are on a different schedule. An equivalent token there would be something that gave out 3, 4, and 5 stars.
    Well....now that you put this thought out there.... ;)

    With R191 will also come a new token type which is sandwiched between the current Elite Tokens which give 2 & 3-stars and Legendary Tokens which give 4 & 5-stars.
    Currently between elites and legendarys are heroics.
    By description, mightys would come between heroics and legendarys.
    Since there is no mention of heroics, it begs the question, what is happening to heroics from here on?
    Elite gives 2 and 3 stars
    Mighty gives 3 and 4 stars
    Legendary gives 4 and 5 stars

    Heroics are on a different schedule. An equivalent token there would be something that gave out 3, 4, and 5 stars.
    OOOOOOOOOH!

    I don’t really understand why there would be a Thor-specific token, but I’ll take it. 😉

    This could make transitioning to 3* land even faster.

    As far as availability is concerned, I think it will be roughly half the availability of HT because the rate for 4* is 1/16 in Heroics and Mighty's rate is 1/7. I find it unlikely that it will be as common as HT, but if it does, they might take away a few things from the reward tables.

    Thanks for allowing new players to shorten their transition time to 3* and 4* land.

    I like the new token, but my biggest concern now is dilution of reward types. There are only so many PvE nodes to clear and PvP fights to win. Many players, like myself, are not even close to post iso, and I don’t want these tokens (or shards) taking the place of iso. If we are getting rid of standard tokens above certain SCLs and Shield Ranks, I’ll be happy.

    A lot of those iso800 prize rewards can be consolidated, with mighty/elites replacing them, or combining and pushing all rewards downward.  Like for infinite pursuit

    15000 pts - 300 iso
    16500 pts - 300 iso
    18000 pts - 300 iso
    19500 pts - beast cover(s)
    22000 pts - 300 iso
    24000 pts - 300 iso

    There's lots of wiggle room to just clump a lot of iso rewards together,  and put a mighty somewhere in there.   2 wins in pvp/ 50 pts already gets you 800 iso.  

    There's also a chasm of potential reward thresholds between the 4* cover at 900, and the cp at 1200.  The riso at 1000 is borderline pointless.

    So this will come with it's own store... what will that be like? Visible only with a token like elites, or always there and able to purchase like heroics? What will the cost of it be, if it's the latter? Will it have daily deals too?

    Will they be included in intercepts?

    I've been thinking with the release of shards and now the mighty tokens. 
     Are we gonna get a few of each when they're first release? 
     Are they adding new ways of getting the mighty tokens/shards? Or are we just gonna have to win/grind them out. 

    Adding something similar but different like lighting rounds to get each of them would be a pretty cool way of getting them. 

    One last thing, I know supports are on hold. But bring them back I was enjoying them towards the end plus I liked how we got additional resources with those pve. I know they're not for everyone but I'm sure there are ppl who did enjoy them.

    @IceIX would it be safe to assume that I can hope to see that Mighty tokens are eventually implemented into rewards and progressions via SCL rank/level?

    Yes!!! This is actually the thing I suggested every time there was a player poll. Feels good they listened to it. I am sure I wasn't the only one with the idea for this, but still a good feeling,.

    A nice change that should have come a fair while ago.

    Awesome!  I am way more excited about this than the new Shard system, honestly.

    So long as they're not launched as a 1/10 bonus chance with support tokens.

    I think for PvPs, MT will be placed in placement rewards, up to top 25 placements in SCL 9. The best scenario is that Mighty token will be placed at 45 wins in progression reward. For PvEs, I think it will placed in both progression and placement rewards. 

    Putting it in vault seems very likely and 3* covers are likely to be replaced with MT.

    I don't think they should put a 85% 3* at 45 wins (maybe 950 pts?) for PVP.  A better place might be to swap the Featured PVP token at 850/36 wins for this one.  PVP engagement is on a downward slope, so putting the token in progression is maybe more likely than not.

    Re-jiggering PVP rewards (as well as PVE) is long overdue and I wouldn't be surprised if MIGHTY TOKENS! show up in PVP rewards before they go into PVE.

    Once they get into PVE, I wouldn't be surprised if it's placement only, or pretty high in the progression table.

    It would be odd to put them into PVE vaults; maybe in some of the other ones (5* release, 41 item vaults, etc).  PVE vaults are all specific covers besides the LT which has obvious value, and the Support tokens.  But vaults with Elite/Heroics, you could see them switching one of the Heroics or something out.
