What is your best token pull / any token superstitions?

[Carnage_78]

Today of all days, with the MMR experiment being growing pains for the community, I thought that some optimism might be very welcome on the forum…so why not some good old times reminiscing which certainly won’t hurt & might just distract us a little by remembering the good days we’ve had with the game while things get better in the background.

I think that my best Woohoo!
moment was getting a

out of a Standard
…not only was it a


which is rare enough out of those type of tokens but it was actually one I could use to unlock a new power for a character I like as it is different then all others (and it was just in time for a Top Gun PvP event!).

I guess that another one for me (keep in mind that I am at the stage of a maxed

roster after around 70ish days of playing & not transitioning to


yet as none of characters of that category are over level 90) is getting as a PvP fight reward the last

that I need to build him the way I wanted.

So…what is your best token related memory? I am sure that the community as some spectacular stories out there waiting to make us all dream a little next time we redeem one of our tokens…

Cheers for sharing mates!

I’ve gotten several x-forces and other 4* so I’ll go with my best string of token opening when it mattered most. I was not even in max 2* land as I maybe had a maxed 2* Thor and wolvie, but like 3 or 4 total covers for obw and nothing else much good besides a near-max storm. Anyway back when the simulator basic was first run and tokens for the whole thing had a pretty high rate for brand new LT I opened something like 2 greens and a yellow (there may have even been a 4th LT cover, it was absurd) over however many tokens I won. It got the ball rolling for getting into 3* land.

Two of my X-force covers came from standard tokens, and the other day I got two 3* covers from standard tokens. . .in a row.

I just wish I had that kind of luck with heroic tokens.

The one token pull that I’ll never forget is a few days after I first started playing MPQ, I pulled a
Steve Rogers. At the time I only had a few low level 1
and one or two very low level 2
characters. At such a low level of playing, I was able to start using him immediately. Also, Captain America has always been one of my favorite Marvel heros.

[SunCrusher]

As a collector and kind-of-sort-of old-school Marvel fan, I love Token pulls. A lot. I’ve gotten some awesome Token pulls over the time I’ve played since pre-R47 and I’ve also gotten some really not so awesome ones (10+ Venoms of both colors in a row when pulling Standard Recruit tokens
).

A couple of my favorites:

Standard Token during the last PvE:

Totally new character for me and a boosted one at that for the event… though it didn’t really help me any in the end. It was such a nice surprise to see because I had actually missed earning my Colossus during the PvE that he was first released. Also, I had no idea he had been released into the Standard Tokens.

Event Token during the Blade PvE:
x 2 of what colors I can’t remember. When I got my Blade (at least, I think it was Blade), I had a cover of every color of hers and double covers of two colors. Obviously, I never tossed her out after that because she was on her way to being built.

Standard Tokens during or post-Anniversary:


,

Some Token during Anniversary: 3*

(totally did an “OMGThisisawesome!” in the middle of Starbucks)

Anniversary Token:

My Very First Heroic Token:

Yes, when it was still Purple.

He’s my favorite Token pull because he’s partly to blame for why I continued to play.

I remember fairly well all of my ‘OMGAWESOME!’ Token pulls - especially the ones that came from Standard tokens. I’m not expecting anything terribly exceptional, but on occasion, a really awesome cover pops out to surprise me.

BEFORE I started collecting 3s, my favorite 2 pulls were Wolverine, Ares, Magneto, and Captain America because I simply like them as characters.
I love Classic Storm, too, but she was almost impossible to pull when I was still building her and the same with Thor. AFTER they were built, I started pulling them like nobody’s business.
OBW was the same exact situation and I felt so bad about continually tossing her covers that I eventually saved a slot to build a second one. Nowadays, my 2* character pulls tend to be OBW (Blues!) and Captain America (Red) and Moonstone (Black).

No X-Force in any of my Standard or Heroics or Event Tokens, but
and
during the Anniversary are plenty fine for me.

Also, I was thrilled to pull a bunch of Modern Hawkeyes all in a series of token pulls; he was my fastest 2* character to build, bar none with Speed Shot finishing up first.

I pulled 3 furys (1 purple, 2 blue) in 2 days from Standard and Heroic tokens. It was glorious.

I was ~150 HP away from buying my last BP black, BOOM from a Standard token from a Facebook mate

On a sadder note, I do realize that it’s stuff like that that feeds our addiction

[system]

Many moons ago I got the last
Patch
cover I needed from a standard token, right after I missed it in a PvP. I only had L
maxed and some two stars, and he plus OBW allowed me to pretty much finish the transition phase.
followed shortly after (bought a few for him) and I’m now up to 10 or more maxed 3 stars. A lot of that is on the back of Patch.

from a standard token.

in Season 1 - the one that ended with I think a
PvP and a Server issue that stopped rewards from getting paid out on time, I got the 10 Pack token with about a week to go to the end of the season.

My 10-pack pulled




x2 and
x1. I didn’t have any
s and I didn’t have a spare roster slot. I spent 6 agonizing days trying to earn the 25 HP for the slot I needed. And I had them locked in - between season awards and the Daken PvP - and due to be paid out about 1hr and 10 minutes before the covers expired.

And then the rewards didn’t get paid out on time. I scrambled for the Buy HP option only to find that my Google Wallet had been suspended - some chinese dude tried to buy phone credit with it!. Oh god! I was going to lose him!

I checked my daily reward but it had already paid out that day. Bloody stockpile. I looked for a 3* to sell but they weren’t giving HP for them any more*. I didn’t have the ISO to play the
token lottery. I tried to feed a five euro note into the usb socket but it wasn’t working.

A single tear rolled down my cheek, dropped off my chin and landed on the screen of my phone*. The impact opened the Venom story screen, and one of the nodes didn’t have a green tick on it. The Yelena Belova node in Venom Dark Reign. I dared to hope… the rewards cycled and there it was - 50 unclaimed HP. With 30 minutes to go I started to grind, and grind hard, like a 17 year old in a new years night club. 10 minutes of 20 Iso rewards. 15. 20. Health packs running low. And then it happened - a 50HP prize, putting me over the line.

Roster slot purchased.
Magneto recruited.

I breathed a sigh of relief, high-fived my shadow and left him to rot at the bottom of my roster 'cause I haven’t had another cover for him since

• but he will always be my best ever token pull.

*(this may not be true - dramatic license, people!)

from a standard token.

The same here!

[CrookedKnight]

My first



came from a standard. Also got a purple Deadpool from one, but that wasn’t as big of a deal.

Also I got two Enraged Slash pulls from tokens before X-Force got rebalanced, which is really nice in hindsight.

getting the 2000HP pull from a 50HP Anny token!

XForce
from a standard token. Made my day.

I’ve had other nice pulls from Heroics, and even a few 3* from standards, but that’s the only time I pulled not only a 4* from a standard, but a much needed one. Now I just need 4 more.

[system]

I remember getting an X-Force from a standard token. I don’t remember the color.

[GrimSkald]

I once got a

and
from two different Heroic tokens on the same day. Then I opened a standard token and got

That was a good day.

[system]

I pulled an X-Force
from a standard token like 12 days into playing this game. I was so stoked I wanted to try for 1300 in the next PvP (with my 1* roster) to get another one.

[Carnage_78]

Quite a number of good pulls out there…thank you all for sharing…I will keep on dreaming of my next one!

I do like this random collector’s aspect of the game…it can be somewhat frustrating at time when you grind your way to a token & pull yet another (insert your own recurrent cover here…which for me seems to be



) but man is it a blast when you strike gold!

Keep on pulling people…you never know…maybe your next big one is just around the corner…

[system]

The recurring cover for me was MNM Blue. You only want 3. I had him at 3/3/5 for DAYS looking for red covers, selling piles of blue covers in frustration. Good thing he doesn’t really need levels to be good (or help C.Storm).

Also 3* Cap Blue. He was my first 166, and for whatever reason I kept pulling him from tokens. It’s like 3 of a zillion covers I don’t need and I keep getting them.

Now a days I’m lucky to pull a gold I actually need. The list is short and comprised mostly of characters released recently.

Yeah…my elusive cover is



which I am still looking for one to build him the way I want. Not a rare one by any means but it seems determined to escape me…

The beautiful world of randomness…although it is not a spectacular cover I am certain that I will still be ecstatic the day I finally get my hands on it!
