Are Standard Tokens Still Yielding Gold (3*) Tokens

I have opened around 400 standard recruits since I last got a 3*, people say it’s down to luck, so I’m on a 6 month bad luck streak. Keep your head up!

Well, that is pretty bad; I’ve always averaged about 3-5 per 200, which is roughly the advertised odds. Doubling the number of covers we get via 3* bonus heroes was a nice touch.

You might get a few in a row coming up and straighten those averages right up :slight_smile:

In the absolutely worst possible scenario, that’s 200K ISO. I’ll take it if you don’t want it.

In all seriousness, I wish they would swap out Elites for Standards at higher SCLs. Maybe they’re saving that for 9 and 10. :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyone remember when you could get a 4 Star from a Standard token?

I sure do! I remember getting at least one X-force Wolverine, one Invisible Woman, and one Nick Fury from standards over two years ago. I haven’t pulled a 3-star from a standard a couple of weeks, but since I only open four a day (I have about 150 of them or so) that’s not too surprising.

Pulled another one tonight too after the sub 3 clears. Doom with a bonus Mystique. So I fight Doom and Mystique and then I get one of each. Hey I’m one cover closer to that sweet 13th Iceman cover so I ain’t complaining.

That seems in line with my experience, from 1957 Standards I got:

46 *** (2.35%) official number = 2.3%

279 ** (14.25%) official number = 14%

1632 * (83.4%) official number = 83.7%

Longest streak between *** was 180 (average is 48) and I got 28 bonus ***.

I pulled a Prof X purple from a standard right back when I first started playing. I then went over a year before seeing another Prof X cover, so much so that I became convinced he was only available in standard tokens.

Once in a blue moon, but it does happen

I quite literally never have drawn a 4* from Standard tokens, and I think I had drawn over 4000 or 5000 when they removed 4s from the description. I believe they stated that they didn’t remove the 4s from the tokens, but the chance was so vanishingly low that they removed it from the description.

And the token odds now clearly indicate that there is no possibility of getting a 4* at all, and there have been a number of developer and designer comments that indicate that they may never have been in standard tokens.

All academic at this point, as I personally also seem to recall getting… Star-Lord, I think, from a standard token a looooong long time ago, however, I easily admit that this could not be the case and my memory could be faulty, especially after all this time and the number of tokens (of all kinds) that I have opened.

Yeah, 200,000 ISO would be useless.

Not to mention the ~80-100 3* covers.

Yeah its so weird, I think I’ve gotten one 4* from all the stands that I have opened. I know and I believe the devs when they say you couldn’t get a 4* from a std.

Yet everyone seems to remember getting one.

I opened another 51 yesterday and got 1 3* star cover, for a character I don’t have (Squirrel Girl) and no bonus pull with it. :neutral:

A fully covered 5* to get an occasional 3* token?
I don’t think so.

You should send in a ticket for that. If you pull a 3* from Standards, it’s supposed to guarantee a bonus hero pull.

I’m on a big 0/94 streak for obtaining a 3* from a standard token

45 more tokens opened today and no 3*

Now 280+ tokens and more than a month since my last 3* from standards.

GrimSkald said he once went 307 between draws. That’s not a record I want to beat :frowning:

Final update on this. Opened 48 more tonight and finally got a gold token after 30 pulls.

So right around 310ish so I may or may not have worsered GrimSkald record :s

I feel for you. I usually save up 50 and pull until I get my 3*. Sometimes it happens within a few pulls, sometimes I get down to single digits. It has happened on a few occasions that I’ll pull all 50 and get nothing, but it’s petty rare. It would be upsetting to do that six times in a row and get nothing. In fact, I almost feel like Standards are a more reliable source of 3* BH for me then Elites or Heroics have been lately.
