    I finished my first Spidey today, working on my second 450 now.
    Good times.

    if so then tell me where cause the only option is to take what they are giving or or another thing of pain management with insurance will cost me 200 per visit and 90 per visit for therypy what i cant afford (almost **** myself the first time i went and saw the doctor bill 5 mins for 235 bucks... down from 900 if i had no insurance

    then maybe again i should be like the 99% of people in united states and cry and demand disabity and demand the goverment pay for all of my stuff instead of working 10 to 12 hour days

    Pain is a symptom, go after whats causing it which(not knowing your circumstances) is most likely inflammation. Turmeric is a great start, Gaia Herbs is the brand I take.

    I would be very interested to see who bought the second round of 1-5s when they offered repeats; were they more new purchases or repeat? There's no question if your goal is maximizing resource gain they represented the absolute best deal in the game (far better, really, than buying VIP twice) as long as you are playing enough.

    On a different note: if you are in a position that you are looking at 370ing any (first copy) 4s in the next few covers, favoring them now and getting the 1000 HP at 370 and using it in the vault is probably the best way to maximize free resources since you would probably be buying a roster slot soon enough for the new dupe. This assumes you're not swimming in roster slots...just an approach I hit upon rather than letting the game force me into spending 1200 HP on a roster slot alone whenever I get those last couple of covers. Instead I can speed up the payout while the vault is open and maximize my return.

    I have a bunch of 4s who are indeed just coming up on 370 and that has helped a lot in my ability to enjoy this vault. Can do another 40 pack tomorrow.

    The Madness of March Vault is open for 21 more days, and unless you have tens of thousands of HP you're planning to spend on 40 packs each day, it's actually slightly cheaper to buy four 10-packs (4,800 or 120 each) than one 40-pack (5,000, or 125 each.) And if you manage to pull almost all the best rewards in the first 30, then you can pay 300 to reset the vault or just wait until the next day.

    I'm assuming many players will run out of HP buying 11 pulls per day for 1,300 HP before the end of 21 more days? I know I will...

    last off topic

    i got 2 pinch nerves in my neck 1 herniated disc and Scoliosis with DDD under went mri in 2022 and another in 2023 and got a lot worse. they want me to do a fcs test but insurance dont pay and its a 900 buck 7 hour test that is why im crankie alot

    now back on topic

    back up to 25k that will be enough for 5 more pulls ....up to 470 slots hopefully end up with around 480 at end thought i had a lot more open slots seem only 64 open

    **** didnt notice that the 10 packs were cheaper.. could be the way to go last few weeks

    I’ve been doing a 40/10/reset daily. The only concern I have is that Shang, Jane and Okoye are already 550 and what if they do a vault with other fives instead? Would I have regretted dropping all my coin here? I’m mostly pulling because Omega, Strange, Kang, America and a bunch of LL pulls make it feel still worth it.

    I'm in the same boat as Daredevil, as I don't want 4 of the 8 5s, and wonder if this type of vault is going to become a more regular feature and whether I should wait until there is a version of the vault that contains a selection of 5s that fits better with my roster.
    So I'm just pulling a single cover for 100 each day, to get my daily fix.

    I am predicting a quarterly repeat of basically this vault. The cheap pull cost means it appeals to a large swath of players down to people who don’t usually spend much. They will almost certainty continue to heavily weight meta/high utilization 5s that vets, heavily engaged, moderate to heavy spenders etc will have champed and possibly 550d. But people who have spent/played less will find it appealing and drop HP and possibly cash they wouldn’t otherwise.

    I've been more-or-less emptying it, it all depends on what is left as to whether or not I reset it. I've maxxed out my Okoye and Kang, OR and MThor are almost there, and I'll probably make it with Shang if I tap into my CP for Classics before the end of March (which I almost certainly will as I'm swimming in LTs.)

    The LTs alone are almost certainly worth it. While I agree that a different composition would be awesome, the December deal was only a little different, so I don't think I'd expect it. I plan to keep going until I'm below 10k HP, and honestly if they make the same deal available in, say, May, I'll still probably just do it as much as I can.

    If it wasn't for the British, the US wouldn't even have an independence day, so it does make sense

    As long as the vault has a similar composition I'd buy it out just about as much as I could. Yeah, the current one is pretty nuts but the value is still basically there even with lesser characters... after a certain point ANY 5* cover is a good cover if it can be gotten cheaply/efficiently.

    Now that we're expecting these quarterly though, BCS will decide to change it up because they hate consistency. See the baffling decision to NOT feature the latest support in the last heroic boss event after doing so in all the previous runs.

    The Heroic boss support switch isn’t that baffling as far as revenue. Giving away the most recent support consistently to the most engaged players (hence most likely to spend money on a support) probably didn’t help at all with selling those support bundles they keep offering.

    These vaults, on the other hand, are entirely about providing a place to spend your HP, and hopefully cause you to buy more.
