Pretty excited for these changes. I'll be happy to get the Ultimate shop because there's a few I want to save up for. I still have about a dozen S3 cards left to get, but I only care to have one ASAP.

This fuckin blows, lol. I lack two cards from being S3 complete so this basically means I get the 100 token boxes on both sides of S3

I explained this poorly. Currently every 4 reserves is one of 4 things;
1) a cosmetic (avatar, title, variant)
2) currency (credits or gold)
3) 100 tokens <----- This is the area that is changing.
4) A S3 card

If you're S3 complete it looks like this:
1) a cosmetic
2) currency
3) 100 tokens
4) 200-600 tokens

What they're doing is making it so it will be unchanged for S3 complete people but if you haven't finished S3, instead of 100 tokens, you get 200-600 tokens.

If you're S3 complete, you'll get 100 tokens in those boxes (so technically this won't change for S3 complete people).

In a set of 4 reserves where you open a new S4/S5 card, you also get 200-600 tokens instead of 100 tokens. So technically a little better even for S3 complete folks.

And it's great for new players because they won't have to hoard their tokens until cl 2,000 or so because they will earn so many.

They also said that "Once a Card Series is complete, caches that would have contained a card from that Series will now be replaced with 100 Tokens", so it's not changing things for s3 complete players. It's way, way better for anyone without a complete S3 collection of course.

e: oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, it's just better for everyone to do it this way. Unfortunate for anyone who played between token introduction and now, but oh well.

Really sad that they're ditching the unranked mode.

If you squint hard enough conquest mode can serve as an unranked mode. Just play at the lowest level where there are no stakes.
They even confirmed matches in conquest will count for dailies and boosters.

The free pool 3 card seems like it's going to be good even for players that are pool 3 complete (because pool 3 complete is always a temporary state). For example, I don't have Orka right now, so when he drops to P3 in a few weeks I can snag him for free instead of pulling that piece of poo poo out of a box that could be something useful instead. At least if I'm understanding it correctly.

Yeah of course because you'd pull that S3 card from a reserve shortly anyway it's a much more minor boost for them (basically just gives them the 200-600 tokens they'd get in that slot instead).

Notes are out. Most important is that the latest card will always be available in the shop and anyone who isn't S3 complete will get one free card a season.

E: also tokens will appear in caches as well as reserves, so from CL500.

That's a road map, not notes!!

I hit infinite today using mostly Thanos/Lockjaw and Shuri/Red Skull. I love the versatility of the stones combined with lockjaw gambling. Even if that interaction is nerfed Thanos is a fun card. That said, I'm done with those cards for a while. I legitimately thought something was broken with my matchmaking at the beginning of the season. The last two seasons I finished in the 90s then 80s and it was a struggle. This season it took me 4 days to hit 85 then another 4 to hit 95. Those first few days I had a bunch of games where I won 8 cubes on completely nonsensical plays from my opponents. Now I'm donating cubes for a few days. If you play Neighborhood Cat (a bit smelly but otherwise fine) say hello and I'll donate 8 for you.

My exact thoughts. That seems really rough. Anything under 3000 tokens is useless? What?

It seems most people have been buying S4 and 5 cards anyway. I think I'm the odd one since I've bought multiple S3 cards and haven't bought any of the other series. I've bought 6 and I'm about to buy my seventh, and I've only been able to get 2 bundles with tokens.

Same here. I bought nearly all the P3 staples. I had more fun that way as a lot of those cards fit into many decks. I’d have enjoyed the game far less if I couldn’t have bought them.

I mostly tried to buy what looked fun. I did buy Negative and She Hulk and Mystique, but I did buy Rogue and Kingpin and Ghost Rider as well and those definitely aren't strong cards. Hell, the one I have pinned right now is Debrii.

FlamingLiberal posted:

I've pulled that many in the last 2 weeks. 1 free a season on top of 8 or 10 won't be horrible, and being able to target fun cards like Shanna or the Ultimate Variants will be a bit more bearable. Imo

Under the new system, buying an S3 would lose you 900 tokens, they’re saving people from themselves.

it works out kind of the same as far as collection levels. you'd get around 1000 tokens a month from reserves as f2p now, and this bumps that up to around 4000.

it does suck that you can't buy token bundles and get more s3 cards though

Once you're S3-complete, you'll always be able to get every card that drops into the series almost on the day it drops even if you don't save up for it. It's a maximum of 2200 credits per card, less if you open credits instead of gold in your currency box, and you get more than twice that just for doing your dailies and the weekly. With the card boxes now having the small token reward instead of the big one if you're complete there's no longer a reason to level up cards more than once a month, unless you're impatient and can't wait to finish the two chapter missions. And even that only costs 1000 credits if you wait for them both to come up before you do them.

I've just gotten up to Pool 3 after playing this game for 2.5 weeks or so. Mostly having fun so far, but man once I hit 70/75 this month the quality of opponents/decks skyrocketed. I was playing against decks with significant numbers of Pool 3 cards well before I completed Pool 2. I've fallen down all the way below 70 now. I keep telling myself to Escape more but I just keep hanging on for 'maybe' wins that aren't really there.

Devil Dino stays very strong, and so does Ongoing Spectrum. Zoo is surprisingly strong as well, you just have to play it intelligently. Good luck!
