Putting the tokens here will just give more to the few people who are already gobbling up everything.So yeah, I feel like a fairly average player. Generally top 7-15 percentile, consistent daily play, VIP access and a full champed 3*, fully recruited 4* roster, trying to cover them. There's gotta be a lot of other players like me. In my experience, if the new tokens aren't in the progression rewards for story events, then I can pretty much ignore this feature entirely. The random vault token I pull will likely be less frequent than the rate at which new supports get introduced. Just want to point out that you are currently top 7-15 percentile in your season bracket. There are many brackets per season with varied scores. Top 50 in one bracket might not even be Top 200 in another bracket.

Brigby Unless I'm missing something, all this details is how to earn Red ISO going forwards. There's the two limited special offers and the one limited-time vault, but these are both temporary and require a purchase or a purchase and RNG in order to get the tokens. Is the implication here that this is the main way we'll be able to get support tokens in the future? Or will they be integrated into other rewards as well? As of yet we don't have any clear path, which most of us are anxious for. I'm not sure how many ways there will be to acquire tokens in the future; in my personal opinion, I hope a few more get added. Having said that though, I referenced that post, because it is simply the most relevant one to their question, and stated the avenues that are currently available to players.

dlegendary0ne said: Does a 5* support automatically make the support level 250, or does it start from level 1? For example, if your first cover for a support is a 5*, will it be at level 1 or level 250?Also, it would be great to preview what the increases are for the supports as they level, like we can with the main characters. That will make it easier to know what we're getting for our iso.

In other words, you can have a Rank 5 Support that's still at Level 1 or a Rank 1 Support at Level 50. The benefit of a higher Rank Support is access to other perks. The benefit of a higher Level Support is that the perks that are available become stronger.

That's correct. Rank 1 max level is 50, and each subsequent rank increase adds an additional 50 max levels.

Heartbreaksoup said: I think these supports are terrific and am happy to have them.But this just exemplifies, more than ever, the need to either reopen the prologue or create some new, open-ended story mode where we can just play and play. (I suggested something along those lines here: https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/71118/proposal-new-story-mode-replacing-the-prologue-long )I've played each of the nodes in Wakandan Design Group the requisite four times and am now "enjoying" the long cooldown while the points regenerate. I have these wonderful new toys and chimichangas and cannot actually do anything at all with them right now. If it were a new character that I'd acquired, I could play some PVP to see how the powers work, but I can't play anything right now without messing up my placement rank.I've got this great Rank 2 chimichanga and I can't taste it for another twelve hours. This is cruel.

This is cruel. On that vein, they should add back the replayable node in the season screen. They used to have a replayable node (no rewards), but at least it let us try out new characters, and in this case supports. Or just a real sandboxed Danger Room thingy where we can select the characters on both sides so we can experiment with counters without the pressure of placement. No rewards need to be given (would be nice, but I think that'd have to be tied to any task based mission rewards that they should bring to the game), but it let's us goof around and try out new things...

Come on man, its like saying Valkyrie is bad because you have her at 0/0/1 lvl 70. These are useless right now, but we're 2 days in with bug and quality of life changes already on the way. Once you get ranks and levels on them, then come back and see how they are.
