Just for once...JUST FOR ONCE...it would be nice to have a vault without any two star characters in it. That vault with 171 two star covers in it is ridiculous. Total overkill. It's a big event, so why not let our token give us the chance of something decent? It's not going to hurt anyone. It really isn't.

Pfff... that vault would have tokens for 1000 HP each or more

Why on earth would I buy new tokens, I cant get iso for the last ones I bought, yes the dupe rate payback is excellent, but I can see why. Now you will flood us so fast with these supports and tokens being so rare chances of actually getting a dupe is low.

Then you will dump it in pvp and increase the gap even further, even though the majority don’t even seem to want it in pvp.

Prophetic words. Supports are already about to hit a dilution problem and they literally just came out. Smh.

I just looked at the new supports. The Children of Thanos supports are pretty much more of the same. The Infinity Stones, however, are ... interesting. As might be expected, they follow a set pattern, with X being a different color for each stone.

Rank 1 - small chance of gaining extra AP in X Color when supported color makes that match

Rank 2 - Increase supported character crit multiplier

Rank 3 - Increase X Match damage

Rank 4 - Powers fired by supported character do more damage

Rank 5 Do something interesting on a conditional basis

Equip to championed character - Do something very interesting on a conditional basis

That's... not bad at all - even at rank 1 it's not bad since you can get a pretty good increase on the chances for rank 1 with 50 levels. And Rank 5 is pretty neat.

I wonder how they're going to release them...

This is how MPQ celebrates marvel's cinematic universe's biggest movie with 3 character's that already have multiple versions of themselves in different tiers, a 300 item vault full of 2*'s, HFH bundles geared to a small amount of the player base, and adding new supports but hiding them behind a paywall. All I see is a money grab instead of a fun event to celebrate the movie and the player base's devotion to MPQ. Supports fall more into the realm of unattainable and inaccessible higher ranks and Red Iso unless you pay. Did the Devs really think that Supports and the way they are being released or controlled for that matter were going to make us excited or enjoy this new feature. The Devs are so out of touch with the MPQ player base.

I think we need to see when the new season begins how the rewards are changed to include supports and red ISO. That seems to be the way they're going to release support tokens. If I can get a master token or 2 every season then that should be ok.

DyingLegend · April 2018

Supports dont make any sense other than a new way to make money and a really blatant cash grab.

I feel there are more important things the Devs could be working on.

fmftint · April 2018

The money grab is amazing!
Nearly everyone liked the first deal for Strange

Three covers (1 of each power) of Doctor Strange (Stephen Strange)
4,500 Red Iso-8
Nine Beginner Support tokens
One Advanced Support token

3500 hp, pretty good deal

So change it and raise the price

I agree that would be reasonable. It sounds reasonable. And I say that putting in 900 points each event (hitting the 10k season goal) and realizing that if these are in placement I might not be able to earn them in the first place. But it feels like a good benchmark.

Which makes it a bummer that the original announcement says we're just getting Advanced Tokens in placement.

Wait till you see the next one you will miss this weeks too

Edit: I improved my reading skills and answered my own question.

Shintok17 · April 2018

A 300 item vault with no free token and no tokens earned from this PVP or PVE event. Wow just wow. All I have seen since they made the announcement is negative feedback for this event. I guess the Devs don't read the forums just the revenue reports.

Orion · April 2018

OK, so the Balance the Universe vault is pure garbage. It might even be worse than the "Welcome to Supports" vault that had 2 basic support tokens in it.

The 5* Thanos one might be a good deal, but I don't have 450 CP and can't get that much in 5 days. So it doesn't matter how good it is.

The 3* Thanos deal isn't bad. It's not as good as the original Dr Strange deal though. I bought it and got a rank 3 Cull Obsidian, a rank 2 Korg and some duplicates. Disappointing, but I did get over 21000 Red ISO for the duplicates, so that's ok.

I'm a little annoyed that you can't get the Infinity Stones from these tokens. They look awesome.

jym010 · April 2018

I am bummed that there is no event. They give use some unattainable (mostly) resources and supports and then there is no way to enjoy them or different content.

PorkBelly · April 2018

As others have stated, there are numerous issues with the current offers.

However, the one that disappoints me the most is the 5* Thanos cover deal. This is the 2nd time a Thanos cover has been offered and it is the 2nd time it has been the black cover. My 5/3/4 Thanos is disappointed.

jgomes32 · April 2018

This vault is a joke, just like everything else supports related.

maguirenumber6 · April 2018

This would have been the perfect time to run Crash of the Mad Titan again :-(

The Viceroy Returns · April 2018

The under the radar worst part about this announcement is that the Black Order characters are supports.

I take this to mean than once a character is locked in as a support, there's ZERO chance they will ever get released as an actual playable character.

They can use this as an excuse to claim a given character is "in the game" and they technically aren't lying.
But with how limited Supports are (both in the current small scale roll out and eventually when they are high level), they are more or less an afterthought not nearly the same caliber as a playable character.
Not such a thing for Sharon Carter, the Pizza Dog, and Wong to be Supports, but imagine how pissed will people be if/when they do this to characters that are very high on the community's want list.

How terrible would this be:
An Emma Frost Support?
A Red Skull Support??
A Dazzler Support???
etc.

This sets a really bad precedent that instead getting actually new characters into the game instead of endless variants, they'll cop out and just add them as a Support instead.

And in this particular case they are villains too, which this game has a severe lack of playable ones at high Star Tiers (most notably in the 5 Star Tier). So now we'll probably never get any of them as playable characters. Think what will of their "worthiness" to be a new release, but now even the idea of it is gone.

Oh well, guess the glut of Spider-Man & Captain America variants will have to do...

leoperez90 · April 2018

Why aren't they playable characters? They look so amazing!!! Instead of taking a step forward we are taking a step backwards.

wymtime · April 2018

@Brigby is there any way to earn a balance the universe vault token or is this just a hero Point only vault?
