froggerjohn said: Something else I'm really uncertain of, is how to deal with the 4* tier in general at this point. With very few exceptions, the characters aren't usable at low covers, and are only a means to play the 4e PvE node and DDQ. I do spend some money, but within reason, so I don't foresee whaling enough HP to keep all of them. When I eventually run out of slot space, I figure I'd sell single covers that aren't top-tier, and just accept that I'm not going to have all the 4e characters.
froggerjohn said: It has taken me a long time to get over the feeling that a sold cover is a "lost resource". While true in the purest sense, it's healthier to play for a more achievable compromise, where it's accepted ahead of time that not all covers are going to be used. In the long run, if you're using most of them, and the most valuable ones, you'll still reach the same goals only slightly behind optimal, and with less stress, $$, etc.
TPF Alexis said: Yep. It wasn't actually that long ago that even having all the 4* rostered seemed like a pipe dream to me, and now I have over half of them champed. It's a long trek, but not an endless one.
froggerjohn said: Thanks for the advice. I pulled and got 4* Black Widow and Carnage. Both seem decent.

I have:36 LL tokens956 CP2 Covert Ops1 Don't FreezeThe last two post-event tokens in particular I'm not really sure how they work, and what happens when hanging on to them. (Will they always be for those characters?)

(Will they always be for those characters?) Just to address ^, I don't remember what those events were, but I'm assuming PVP. Anywho, general rule of thumb is that if it's a character specific store, there's really no benefit to holding them. If it was from a vault store (usually PVE), then you can hold onto them to have increased odds of getting the "good" items the next time the event is run. If it's a one off event (pvp or pve) then just open it.

I've never cared. If I don't have a use for it, I just sell it and take the ISO. I need the ISO. I won't even let it linger on my vine 'just in case'. Better to get it out of there and forget about it, rather than have it hang around and remind me every day for 13 days that I'm going to have to sell it.For example, a Heroic Token gave me a 14th Spider-Woman cover yesterday. Of my un-champed 4-stars, she's pretty far down the list of my priorities. I have fifteen or so sitting at 13 covers and no ISO. I also have a 14th Valkyrie I'm hanging onto until I have the 350k ISO I need to champ her. So... Spider-Woman went bye-bye. I just sold the cover and didn't think twice. I'll get around to champing her, but not today.
