Tokens and drop rate

Unknown

I just got a 4* cover from a standard token. No ****. Granted it was X-Farce and I'll probably never use him, but still I feel like this prohibits me from ever complaining about drop rates.

i opened 41 2/3** tokens earned from the the past lightning rooms. I Just got 2 *** (already mexed) et 1 **** covers.
A friend opened 3 of them and he got 2 *** covers he missed.

Just bad luck

Wow that stinks. This weekend, well I guess since the PVE started, I've gotten about 40000 ISO (from both PVE and PVP). So like any idiot would do, I spent it all on standard tokens. Ive gotten an HT, Hulk, IW, another HT, DD. Not the most efficient method. In one stretch I spend 12000 and only got the Hulk and 15000 and got nothing. I do not recommend this course of action.

No offense, but that is rather spectacular. From 80 reg tokens you got 5 3*s.
I just opened 123 and I got 2 3*s. I wonder if they have different odds if they were bought vs dropped from events.

Its like bait. I got lucky once or twice and figured I could continue to get lucky. 123 and only got two though. Thats harsh.

I'm having a similar result to the OP. I haven't pulled a 3* from the recruit/heroic/event tokens since the Sentry PvE event either. I've probably open about 100 recruit tokens and 40 heroic/event tokens (including my 10 pack award) and no 3*s at all. I do not have a maxed out roster either, I only have one maxed out 3* (Punisher), but I do have all needed 2* covers.

I will not be spending any more HP on a random covers until D3P fixes the rates to something more meaningful.

I wish this game had a pack option (like other games) where if you open 5 heroic covers at once you are guaranteed at least one rare. This would work similar to Hearthstone, Star Wars Force Collection, Magic the Gathering and other free to play (pay to win) games.

From the user collected statistics, it's about in line I think at about 2% or so. You actually did REALLY well with 5, I honestly wonder if there is a difference in iso bought vs dropped tokens. It wouldn't surprise me if there was.

What was worse was when I opened my 2*s or better, 23 tokens in all (including a 10 pack) and that yielded 1 3*. So yeah, sometimes you are on the left side of the bell curve. The FAR left.

My luck isn't the greatest either. I've only pulled 2 3* covers that I can remember from PvP/PvE events. Granted one of them was yesterday, when I pulled a Black Hulk from PvE. The other was a Punisher from way back when. It's an odds game. It's just rare, not broken.

How great would it be if you could trade 8 unused heroic random covers for one random three star cover? Some people would open them all normally for the 17% chance end extra ISO and others would go for the sure thing three star cover. 1/8 is 12.5% and you would lose extra iso, but I think it would be a fair deal.

It used to be that there were guaranteed packs Im pretty sure. The one article posted on here somewhere said that when D3/Demiurge moved to the current model they actually made more money.

What platform are those with "bad luck" on? Im on IOS and have been getting some 3*s at great cost. Besides the standard tokens above I've also gotten 2-3 from daily Heroics over the past 2 weeks.

remove 2 stars from heroic/event tokens and as rewards for final pvp/pve placement.

btw, they no longer have a chance to get hero points (25 for 2* and 50 for 3*) off tokens (std or heoric) right ?

I finally received 3* from heroic token yesterday, yellow Spider-Man . Also from 2 standard tokens this morning I received Ragnarok and Lazy cap. I find it really weird that it's easier to get 3* from standard tokens than from event and heroic tokens, but hey I got 3 3* from tokens after almost a month so I'm happy, just hoping I won't have to wait one more month to get another from tokens.

I think there's a mass understanding and frustration about the odds in getting a 3* (not even entertaining the thought of specific colours), its just the different ways you can deal with the mundane drawing of 1/2* tokens that'll keep you from quiting - maybe.
I've recently decided I'm going to stop hoping to pull a gold "its this time I can feel it" and being a little depressed most (every) time I draw a token. Instead ive decided save them all and open on the 1st of every month, as of today 10/6 I have 80 tokens including 12 named/heroics by the end of the month I'm hoping for 150 all in. Doing it this way, I'm hoping I'll be happy to pull a couple of 3*'s and forget about the 148 smellies. Whether it works like that I dunno, this is the first month trying.
I'm going to post what pull at the end of the month just in case anyone is interested, until then I'll just stick with OK, unversatile team I have now
Thanks.
