Don't worry, we stockpilers will stockpile new tokens too, and wait until it gets tweaked offering the best odds
Especially because of the 5-day rotation, it is most efficient if we start cracking with ~150-300tokens0 -
We filmed this on Monday, edited it yesterday, released it today. Not much lead time there.DFiPL wrote:

Each vault runs five days?
How many vault token earning possibilities are we looking at per Event? Same 10 over 5 days as we have now? More? Fewer?
Thanks for the response. It's greatly appreciated.
But yes, the Vault will run for the same amount of time as whatever the current parent Event is, just the same as a Comic Pack. So since it's a Deadpool Daily which switches every 5 days, these ones will last 5 days. We're not planning on changing token outflow for them, so if you're just putting in what you gain every day you'll have 10 draws every 5 days. Which is same as now against roughly the same contents as the Comic Pack but with less 2*s and more other interesting prizes.0 -
Not quite. You should be sending Invisible Woman on carefully planned heists.DaveR4470 wrote:

Ice thanks for being on. What will happen to our current taco tokens if we don't open them by Sunday?IceIX wrote:Not quite. You should be sending Invisible Woman on carefully planned heists.

Does the Vault reset everything every five days, or just the 3* selection?
Let me give you a scenario: say my ten "free" Deadpool Daily Vault Tokens grant me ten 2* covers. My chance of getting a 3* (or some other much nicer reward) is increased accordingly... but only if I spend money to buy another Vault Token right now, because I'm not getting any more freebies from Deadpool Daily and the whole Vault resets tomorrow. Does that sound about right?
How about holding onto Vault Tokens until you've accumulated enough to really boost the odds of getting the good prizes, then splurging them all at once?0 -

You'd be surprised how little I need if the video is short like this one was. The problem with this one is that the audio quality is, sorry, not great. Get a better mic and I might still need 2-3 runs to get everything, but for a 10 min vid, that's something I can pound out in 30-60 minutes.But yes, the Vault will run for the same amount of time as whatever the current parent Event is, just the same as a Comic Pack.

Got it. Thanks.0 -
Yep, that's all exactly correct. And yeah, if you want to stockpile, that's on you. Same as it is now with some players that wait for the precise 5 daily characters and splurge then.CNash wrote:Does the Vault reset everything every five days, or just the 3* selection?

Ditto- Could this please become a regular thing? Having someone from D3 to follow up on questions for a couple of hours after a post like this definitely helps with clarification. It would also cut down on the negative speculation that often follows announcement threads.0 -
IceIX wrote:They'll become expired tokens and act just like any other Event that you don't spend tokens in and then expire.
In other words, open them now as they are not updating from the current draw pools.0 -
Just adding my voice to the chorus saying how much the clarification is appreciated. It's really useful to get this kind of input when the video comes out, clears up a lot of ambiguity and improves forum engagement. Great work Ice!0

That's up to you. Some people like being able to see they have 86 expired tokens just lying there. I'm not gonna police your hoarding enjoyment.stochasticism wrote:In other words, open them now as they are not updating from the current draw pools.0 -

how in the blazing blue tinykitty did you get 1* covers from a taco0 -
ice X - thanks so much for dropping by and answering questions. Would be great if there was a bit more of a Dev presence on the board and communication overall.0

Obviously, the vault will offer multiple copies of 2* covers. Otherwise, the drop rate of 3* and 4* covers would be the same as 2*. It seems the vault will reward players who hoard tokens. With 300 tokens you are guaranteed to get the entire vault. In other words, use the vault 2-3 times each year.kaykordeath wrote:There isn't anywhere near 100 characters currently. At 3 colors each, even adding in boosts, Points, Packs, etc, I can't see how the ACTUAL Vault is going to have 300 prizes.... That is if I understood correctly what they said in the video. 0
