Yet again 4* Carol in my Taco Spicy Vault

Really getting a bit fed up with the lack of progress on all the bugs.
I havnt been exactly counting but I’m surprised when someone other than Carol turns up in my Spicy vault and this has def been ongoing since the switch to the new engine.
That and constant crashing, screen touches not responding and battery drain when playing is just so frustrating that I’m beginning to feel the game has run its course and is on the way out.
I hope not as have been playing for nearly 11 years but they really need to get on top of the bugs.

    Hmm, me on Steam and over the weekend, I start to experience freezing. So far it didn't really affect gameplay but it was annoying af...

    I had her for a few days in a row last week, but I've got Kingpin up today.

    Exactly my experience the last few days.

    Pretty sure Carol has been my vault option roughly 80% of the days since I patched to Unity.

    I'm back on Carol black, but had (and continue to have) Kingpin yellow pretty regularly now too. This is such a stupid error to have made it past anything. I used to have the problem of weighing whether to draw when I was high on boosts, now I find myself getting low on them because the opportunities to draw for anything helpful are so low.

    Today I have Spider-Gwen red, in a twist no one saw coming.

    1 day of Kingpin followed by 5 days of Carol. I mean, if I had the tokens, I could add lvls to her, but she’s already a 5* and doesn’t get any use, so probably pointless anyway

    My adaptation has been to just not use +all aps except when absolutely warranted, best to save all my draws for that once a month-or-two 4* cover that actually does anything at all for me. If BCS ever need an example of why we've stopped believing in anything they say... this HAS to be such an easy fix and yet it's persisted since Unity launch with no acknowledgement. How do you "upgrade" anything and not notice this kind of stuff has become the norm?

    She's actually very good! Carol + Coulson + any cheap power is an insane engine that makes massive special tiles very quickly.

    I use that engine in Sim (with 5* Riri) and it trivially murders any opponent of any level.

    Yep, she's back today for me too.

    The Carol black bug can be annoying, but she tends to pop up about an hour before the DDQ resets (and the spicy vault resets again).

    So when life gives you Carols, you make 4a5 Carols!

    What does this even mean? Of course she pops up (often for days in a row) when the vault resets daily, that's the problem. I can actually count on my hands the number of times I had a different daily 4* in that slot in the past month.

    Maybe it's just me, but most days I have a different 4* in the Spicy vault, then 1 hour before the vault resets, that cover is replaced by a Carol Black.

    Ahh, I see what you're saying.

    Yeah, there's some people with various bugs related to stuff like that. I know that some are able to get 2 of the daily tokens if they hit a 2nd time in the right period, others that can buy offers twice in a certain period... so I guess vaults resetting like that isn't at all a surprise.

    I've not been hit by any of these lucky lady bugs and it has me envious.
