    Somehow, I feel like I would have more people on my side if the toon that switched in was someone more dangerous than Dr. Strange. Call ut a hunch.

    Dangerous? What has to the level of the danger of the character on this issue? I think I'm lost.
    Devs suggest a transaction and players will be tempted or not.
    Dr strange has been there all the years. Many players still will purchase him, no doubt. 
    What is worthless for you can be priceless for another player.

    The implication here was that Dr. Strange isn't that important, except during very specific PvE play. If the character that rotated in was more meta, more important to people chasing metas, I believe more people would be upset. Heck, I think more people would be upset if they just had switched it. If Strange was in there first and then, without notice, having previously stated that the 3's and 4's would rotate, but having said nothing about the 5's, Shang-Chi rotated in, I believe people who spent a lot of resources on the initial vault configuration would be upset. Shang-Chi is generally in higher demand because he's an active meta that can punch up; aka 'dangerous'.

    These vaults are generous in an unprecedented way, I really can't see too much cause to complain.

    It's the Anniversary. I LITERALLY waited a year for this. I spent real money on it. I'm allowed to be upset that they told us one thing and did another.
    Same here, spent real money on hp for the vault.  The way I see it, BCS stole money from me, they're nothing but thieves.  Won't see another dime from me ever again.  
    That’s quite a dramatic overreaction but to each their own I suppose….

    It's a pity game companies don't partner with clinics or companies that specialise in anger management. Imagine the amount of referral fee that they can earn as non operating income.  :D

    The current set of devs seemed to have stopped communicating here as well. No surprise, and I fully understand and support it if it really was an active decision they took. This place is an absolute stinker, and kudos to the devs for realising it so quickly and scarpering.

    They are more active in discord and reddit. I suppose there are more players there than in here.

    And the last argument: in my app there was 4 words on the right corner saying: time left: x hours"
    I guess all players in all devices displayed that info.
    To let all the time expire, to be angered about it, and to call devs thieves because on your own incompetence, it's pretty silly, although I'd never use the soft word "silly" in real life.

    That's a real problem.

    4000 tokens in standard, elite, mighty and Deadpool variations I never had any real reason to open.

    yesterday I spent an hour opening them, and I still have 1k Deadpool tokens waiting.

    I flipped that vault three times now.
    thank you.

    I think to complain you weren’t told about the change is real entitled. Surprises happen. Sometime surprises are good, sometimes they’re bad. 

    All gacha style games with RNG are about resource management. If you spent money, that’s on you. If you blew your wad down to absolute 0, that’s also on you. But don’t take for granted how generous this whole anniversary has been and be upset that the vault changed over. If you’re so upset, they literally said the first vault is coming back. So really, all you need is a little bit of patience, and to not have a complete over-reactionary meltdown

    I'm not convinced this was a deliberate 'let's hold some stuff back to surprise people', seems more like a screw up with the communications. The post at the top of this thread acknowledges that they could have done better with the comms.

    The 5*s in the vault was a nice surprise but it would have been helpful to know from the start 1) that each new version of the vault would be slightly different, 2) that some 5*s would be changing - no need to give more detail than that.

    Again I need to call out some of the unnecessary baiting and name calling in the posts above. If you can't be polite, please go and find some like-minded people on Facebook to exchange insults with.

    Anyone know if this is the last vault update as will run to 26th?

    in 2 minds whether to go all in with the last of my HP or wait it out and see if any surprises arise, as it’s still great value to be able to get any 5* cover by using HP in my opinion.

    love these vaults as a one off for the anniversary, thank you BCS!

    Last one will be a repeat of the first one, so Shang Kitty Bill.
