HoundofShadow said: First, there are 3 types of Support tokens:1) Beginner pack contains a Rank 1, 2, or 3 Support. (~1:3 for Rank 2 and ~1:20 for Rank 3)2) Advanced pack contains a Rank 2, 3, or 4 Support.3) Master pack contains a Rank 4 or 5 SupportIt looks similar to Standard Token, Heroic Token and LT /Classic Legends to me. Putting things into context:Rank 1 dupe = 1,400 red isoRank 2 dupe = 7,000 red isoRank 3 dupe = 12,000 red isoRank 4 dupe = 16,000 red isoRank 5 dupe = 24,000 red isoIt's straightforward. It's either progression rewards, placement rewards or both. Based on the available information, it's not difficult to guess that if it's progression rewards, it's likely Beginner pack. If it's Advanced or Master pack, then it's placement rewards, alliance awards or progression reward at between 8000 to 12,000 points. As for vault, there is only 1 Beginner pack in PvE vault and its rarity is similar to 4* or LT. There is 1/80 probability of getting it.As for bundles, it comes and goes. Again, it's likely one offer per month or every quarter or so for Advanced/Master pack. If any of the pack appears too often, they either have to speed up the number of new supports each month or reduce the red iso from duplicates. As for currency, it's either using CP and/or HP. It's not difficult to guess. If they use red iso or introduce new resources specifically for Support tokens, we'll know what's going to happen next.Looking at changes they made over the year, they did not ignore your game history. For example, extra Iso-8 when new shield ranks were created and feeders for 5* even if your level is way ahead of the first 5* cover from feeder. They said they will be experimenting with different ways of getting support tokens and red iso. Obviously by now, they are aware that top level players are not getting much earth-shattering benefits to their current PvE gameplay.It's not difficult to see what the different ways could be:1) through drops2) champed level rewards3) selling maxed champed characters4) daily rewards5) Shield RankAnd more. You don't need to be creative to tell what the different ways could be. Look, it's only the 10th day since the in-game existence of Support and we are about 10 days away from 3rd of May, a Thursday. This make it almost a month since the announcement of Support token. Chances are more info would be out this coming Thursday. I don't understand the obsession with wanting to know full details of future information months or weeks in advance. Is it distressing to discover changes in-game or to be a little surprise or patient?
mega ghost said: According to that Hollywood Reporter article, this Tuesday, 4/24 "New supports become available, including Children of Thanos and Infinity Stones." My guess is that we're either getting more Infinity War content around the movie or they couldn't get what they had planned together in time and gave us the re-hashed Thanos boss battle instead. In either case, it's likely they needed to have supports launched in time for this tie-in content, and in order to meet their deadlines ended up with an extremely lackluster launch. As of now, they're either finishing up their work or just being extremely prudish to see how much they need to offer to increase sales — naturally, they want to give the minimum amount possible as it's easier to offer more than it is to offer too much to start and then offer less.

I'd be absolutely over the moon if I could take a support to level 250 in 2 months. You have to treat them like 5* characters and expect that same sort of time scale.

It would take 2 months if we were making 10k red iso daily. At current rates it will take over 2 years if not more for a single supportEDIT: my bad. If we were making 500 Riso daily (which we are not) it would take just over 3 years. So more likely 4 years instead of 2 for one support hero
No support token in the new Taco vault. There's been 3 or 4 since supports were released, surely an easy place to at least place a single token if nothing else.
The disenchanted in here are looking for something more from supports and unfortunately everything the devs have released so far with them has been on the less end of the scale.
Supports may not be dead, but they certainly aren't flourishing and enhancing the game in ways the devs had been hoping.

Sure, but when you're offering 100 times less new currency than what could be a reasonable income you have to start asking questions. The data is here. Did they not know that leveling a support to 250 would cost 620ish k red iso? I mean they developed the feature. One thing is to be cautious not to overflow the system with new currency, but the other is to be completely unaware of numbers. I talked about this on discord, at 10000 red iso a day it would take you 2 months to max level a 5* support. Just one support. At 10k Riso/day. 2 months. Right now we're getting what, 200-300 a day tops? You need to open your eyes and admit that the system is extremely flawed right now, stop looking for counter arguments because they will fall short every single time.
