I played it, it was interesting. I do like that there's more variety of opponents, it definitely changes things up a bit. I earned 4 support tokens and a bunch of other things, I drew one advanced, one beginner, Hawkeye, and Iso. Neither token gave me anything useful, though - the beginner a rank 1 and the advanced a rank 2, both I already had.
Largely the value of the event is to give draws of that Vault, really. It's 4 per, and the vault stays open for 5 weeks, so that will give you 20 draws if you never spend any HP. I buy the daily deal for 1x, so that's another 28 draws... even for a 240 item vault that's a significant yield. So I guess that does mean in general players will be getting a lot more supports and tokens - not directly of course, but the law of averages means you will be getting more. Of course, unless you spent on the 3 day support vault while they were open, you got practically none, so almost anything is more...
It's a start, I think, but it's not a solution in and of itself. I also don't like the change to the odds on the Master tokens - it means that Rank 5 supports are still ridiculously rare compared to their relative value...

Even though that would overall be less rewards (no CP, no ISO, no RISO) I think it would make the player base happier.

TPF Alexis said: Also, as others have noted, Nodes 1, 2, and especially 9 are close enough to the Big Pin that it's difficult to reliably select them. This has been a reported issue in multiple other events. Why are new events being made that still have this problem?
Shintok17 said: From doing 4 clears on all the nodes and completing the Big Pin I got 4 Support Circuit Tokens. The results are 2* Bullsey, 2* Thor, 1,500 ISO, and 4,000 Red ISO. Not putting at least a Beginner Support Token in the Progression Rewards was a mistake. Making the vault have 240 rewards while having 106 of them being 2*'s was another mistake. Making the event be just like any other PVE event with the 24hr timing and same amount of nodes and clears was a mistake. With all these mistakes how can anyone get excited about Supports or the false attempt by the Devs at making them more "Available". This like many other things is such a missed opportunity at giving us something great and getting people to happily accept Supports, but again the Devs show how out of touch they are with the MPQ player base.
PuceMoose said: Has it been mentioned if these tokens roll over like taco tokens do? Meaning, if you play the event for six months (or however long it would take) to get 240 circuit tokens, could you then pull them the next time the event was live and empty the vault?
