    Yes! Thank you for replacing these useless boosts with Red ISO! 

    Any chance we'll see red ISO added to DDQ? Maybe an additional Red ISO node that gives us 100 per day?

    Got the R&G Bundle. Got 5* Wong from the Token. Leveled him up and equipped it on 3* Strange. Loving it. It fires at least 1 perk every match and most of the time even 3 at a match. Now I see how useful they are. It becomes apparent at the 5* level since you have 5 perks to take advantage of. Can't wait to try out the other non starter supports.

    So, an Advanced token available in personal PVP Season placement... and that's it? Where are the rest of the tokens? There are three token types, and only the middle one is available at all?

    Please keep in mind that this is just the initial roll out of Supports. The team will be reviewing the feedback, once players have had a chance to earn more Red Iso-8 and Supports, and started utilizing them with characters. These may not necessarily be the final locations or values of these resources.

    TL;DR: Give it a try first! Let us know what you think, once you have :)

    You can get all 3 token types from the 2 Heroes for Hire options in the store right now.

    Why do supports display level cost only based on red iso available? We complained about this for characters for  YEARS, why take a step back?  Are you afraid to show the actual cost?

      • Infinity Stone Versus seasons: 4th, 11th, and 16th reward slots
    Now you hold on just a gosh darn minute, these 2 things appear to contradict each other. If you're stating the specific slots that they are being added, I'm quite inclined to believe that you are REPLACING the rewards in those slots, not ADDING new rewards on top of what we usually get. This however appears to mean you are redesigning the reward structure, so I will proceed with cautious optimism! 


    Story Events (Meet R&G: SCL 8)
    • 8th Slot: Power Boost
    • 21st Slot: 2x 3-STAR COVERS!!!

    Same. I see the 'Welcome to Supports!' vault but have gotten no free token, and I can't see the other special offers yet.

    I think you answered your own question.  The fact that Versus Events (Category-5: SCL 9) only has 15 slots, but they state 18 means these are being added.  I would assume then that the counts are based on the new slots and not the old ones, so to figure out, you'd have to put the first one in, recount, put in the second one, recount, etc.

    A picture of the reward tables would be so much clearer and seemingly less work...

    If he can calculate hypothetical numbers for SCL9 , then there's gotta be a reward table....available for forum consumption, I suppose, is another matter.

    Hmm... that Hero for Hire bundle looks more attractive (and more expensive) now :D

    No free token but I saw the Welcome to Support Vault, Dr Strange and R4G HfH.. And I saw 2 x 50 red iso  :o  It's going to take a long time to level up.

    Right, and a week from now those will have been purchased or expired, and two of the token types will no longer be available, and it will still be a problem.

    I cannot give it a try until you FINISH the initial roll out and actually give us a way to acquire them. (one seasonal mid-range token is nice, but it should be on TOP of a moderately reasonable way to get the basic tokens)

    I get that we're meant to slowly progress through the system, 5 ranks, 250 levels, 14 Supports (that will grow over time), but this initial roll out is so slow it's debatable that anything is being rolled out. We're still in teaser territory. You're asking us to try the ice cream before we give some feedback, giving us one bite, then making us us sniff all the other flavors from across the room. You've got to let us really have a taste, man!

    50 bucks for a master support token. I like the pricing, I‘ll buy it instead of the Mother Lode in the future.

    Yep, I agree completely.  It's pretty obvious that these rewards are being added, not replacing anything.

    Just got the free Support vault token and 3 tokens for the support store.
