    That's the luck of the draw. There is still way too much c**p in that vault.

    So maybe if you fleshed out your fury

    We had 40 pulls vaults in 2023 anniv / 2023 december / 2024 march april may that were SO good I can understand why they don't run those anymore outside of special occasions.

    Then, it was replaced with quest vaults and their 2 3a4. Not as exploitable but not as good, still a nice spin on progress given 3* were the worst base rarity to ascend to 5, and an added reason to play everyday (no quest missed meaning you were guaranteed to empty the vault)

    Then vaults were out and passes got introduced. No one wanted this, but given it was a decent source of iso, that calmed down most of the criticism (mine included) because at least it was good enough to catch up on champing 4 & 5*s. It's not everyone's case but I'm fine dropping 1500g for over half a million iso.

    Now, we got "both" , but really we got neither. 2.5x less iso in pass ( 3x less if you include the fact theres no iso from quests either), no tokens in dailies, and tokens bundled instead with their overpriced garbage offers as if the Xvault was as appealing as the That's a steel vault.

    If you only spent on premium pass and stop at level 50, you'll finish that vault with 18/120 pulls done. Unless you are lucky and pull at least one of the two 3a4 with that slightly under 1/6 chance - you were having it WAY better with any of the previous iteration. This one's the worst by every metric. (I'm not bothering with the details and making this post too long, but you also get less riso and worse tokens ...)

    Now you might find it "not so problematic", it's not that this change is so drastic it ruins the game because it doesn't, but it is absolutely chipping at my will to keep playing and feels so tonedeaf I have little to no faith left it'll improve instead of becoming the new norm

    The question simply becomes what am I playing for? If both LL hoard value diminishes since swap is paid, and 3a4 becomes gambling instead of a guarantee, seems they just want you to play aimlessly or purchase non stop, no inbetween. That's the main reason I've been looking at other games lately. Hell, if the sunk cost fallacy wasn't hitting me so hard I probably wouldn't have bothered posting in the first place, and just leave the game instead.

    I'd love to be proven wrong but the ball is in their side of the court, not mine.

    We don't really know what is going on with the Devs but I agree there have been quite a few changes recently which are not player friendly. Unfortunately shrinkflation has been a real world issue since 2022 and it seems even digital goods are not immune. I find it hard to believe that the Devs are purposely looking for ways to alienate their player base so perhaps these changes are being forced on them - for example I read that cover swaps took up more than 30% of CS time - now it is fair to say that was their fault for thst system which was only ever meant to be temporary but you can't sustain a service based upon one third of it's work giving away stuff for free. Likewise I think we all knew that those earlier vaults were far too good and a sting in the tail had to happen eventually. I guess tied in with the bad year the games industry had, monetisation and less value were inevitable.

    Of course that doesn't make it any more palatable.

    I ended pulling tokens i built up today. They suckered me in with the HP deals that include 2 vaults tokens.
    20 pulls in. No ascended. The best thing I pulled for my roster was 5* Banner. So far I regret the purchases.

    20 pulls so far, all earned tokens.

    4* Hulkbuster and 2 Silver Samurai
    1K Iso-8 x4, 5K, and 10K
    3* Gorgon x5, Daredevil, Elektra
    Classic, Heroic, 2 cp x2

    Atrocious luck thus far. I predict if I do pull one of the ascended characters it will be Magik because I already have her from a previous vault.

    28 pulls so far (bought some of the 1K HP deals that netted me some extra pulls).

    I've gotten the ascended Elektra which is 1 of the 2 I really care about. I also got a Omega Red and another 5 star cover (can't remember which).

    I got ascended Magik on 20th pull who > also do not need. 36 pulls and no ascended Elektra.
