    Question is my math right. I have tittle over 3300 tokens I thought if I open all I would have tons of 55o. But open. 50 and was lucky to move juggie and vemon up 2 spots. I'm guessing. 3000 tokens you be lucky to get them to 550.

    I had 4000. I just about got Juggs and Spidey to 550 from 450ish. Venom was 450 to 548. I don't see you getting them done with 3000 standards. In 6 years when I've saved another 4k I will buy some more 1*'s!

    That is why I'm thinking of waiting and opening up anymore till I get all of the ones I want to buy ... They will still get some coverd doing pvp and others but I think until I buy the rest I want mostly no reason in opening them.

    Though I do wonder i think if you did get it to 450 to 550 you make 20k hp.

    I wonder if you did that and started out fresh with all new 1. What those 3000. Tokens would bring up wise ( now there is some math. None want to attempt lol 😂

    I just looked at the sub rewards for SCL 10 again and realized if you can place between 401-500 you get THREE of those oh-so-sweet Standard tokens! On top of the 6 you can get from node rewards that's 9 a day! You just need to figure out how to grind just enough to not do too well because it seems like once you're out of T100, especially 200, a whole bunch of people are barely playing the event at all.

    Now that 1* and 2* are SO much more valuable, I really wish they'd find a way to make standard tokens more available. I know they don't want to sell them for ISO again, because it messes up the new player experience, but there has to be some way to do it.

    I would have to check my figures again but I had a bracket with 1000 in it. Went into sublevel rank 978... Just doing the 3 clears on the 3 easy levels push me around 280 or so so might be hard to get that 400 to 500 .. i think even befire paying attention i only did the 3 easy nodes and still placed top 300 or 400 ...I'm happy with making 100 per month lol

    I asked for the 1* tokens to be in all the above reward tiers in the monthly questions. I don't see why that is not possible. I earn less standards than mighty or heroics by quite some margin.

    I get why it's this way currently. Before Ascension, standard tokens were pretty worthless, so they mostly were reserved for the very lowest reward tiers. Adding them would have been a big nothing for most of us!

    But hopefully they'll start making them more available now.

    Crates of Standard Rations, offered in qtys of 100 or 300 or 1,000, for $15, $35, or $100. Choose one of the 3, once a month.

    – or –

    VIP value has become dated, add fistfuls of standards at several points in the monthly rotation.

    I highly doubt anyone would buy those tokens at that price. Exple was open 50 was lucky to move up 2 levels so say 100 get you 4 levels
    If you had all 8

    If math wrong. Let me know
    4 levels 250x 8. 25x8
    2000 hp. 200 cp. Per 100 tokens

    Doubt they would sell that below 20

    I got 2 so far that would only give me 500 hp and 50cp so I doubt I buy it

    I like the idea on vip how about every 7 days the reward be. 10 tokens (40 per month). Though like to see 25 (100 per month). For 9.99 wouldnt be bad

    Though I highly doubt I would join vip

    Standard tokens have become a bit of a strange one. Their new found value is really tied in to the 450 1* you can purchase, Taking a 1* to 5* otherwise is going to take a very long time. I wonder what the metrics look like in terms of players who have 450+ 1* is?

    Sorta. Their immediate value has certainly gotten a lot better, if you bought the ascended characters.

    But their long-term value has also gotten better, even if you didn't buy those guys. How else are you ever going to get the 1* and 2* characters promoted? Yes, it's a marathon. But if you never start taking steps, you'll never finish.

    Now I have multiple 550 PvP is a completely different animal.

    Without doubt even with my **** 550’s it’s been easier than I was at single 550. I seem to be invisible??? I climb up to 800 or whenever I get easy seals within the first few hours. Get my 25 wins and then only really take any hits back from dual 550 players or retaliations from people I hit.

    I finished the last PvP with nearly 800 despite being at that level for 2 days. It’s not like I have a big Thor either. I guess I never saw dual 550 players when I climbed before so now I’m harder to queue?

    Anyway, those ascended have been worth the purchase for me and I'd do it again in a heart beat.

    you could have been up there with us years ago. Placements, "Scoring Points" and holding points is a very different thing once your playing with an end stage roster against very experienced players.

    Hopefully a new 1 star offer today but doubt it ... Why do I have a funny feeling they are going to offer a 3 star for 49.99. Wonder how many would bite

    And….nothing.

    They have offered 3->4 ascended before. I think for $24.99, maybe $19.99.

    I guess safe to assume that these chain offers for up to 122 covers of a 3* are the only ascension offers for 3* s going forward. It would be odd to make these offers while also occasionally offering 3* s "pre-ascended" to 4* s at a lower price-point ...

    122 covers! If I knew the chained offer scaled like that I definitely would have bought into the arcade one. I guess that's a sale lost due to the devs not implementing any way in game to see later stages of chained offers. I'm curious as to how much $ has been lost due to this oversight.

    Could someone please list what these 3* chained offers are at each stage of the chain?

    It's 10 - 40 - 70+ covers and some additional trash.

    The cost sequence on the superior ascension chains is, IIRC, $10 – $20 – $40, $70 total. Not cheap.

    The new character chain, as for 3Mancha currently running, is, IIRC, the same.

    10-20-50 dollars for ascension.
    Same as for the Victor chain.

    $80 is whale spending territory.

    Putting Honey Badger up makes a lot of sense as an offer that appeals to people who are driven by a need to keep up with all releases and max them as they go.

    Note: 64 3s x $80 = $5,120 on ascending 3*s. If you bought every one as they came along.

    Thanks, whales!

    On the topic of ascending 3s, is there any concensus on which 3s will be the most powerful at 5 yet? Knowing it will take a LONG time, I’m not sure who to favorite. They do come pretty quick when favorited at least
