Command Points are a new thing that we’re bringing in to provide a constant and relatively reliable way to progress in the game that players can directly see. These points are earned through pretty much everywhere in the game; Event rewards, certain nodes in story events, daily rewards—all over the place. Once a player has earned a few of them, they can turn in 25 of them for a pull at the Legendary Comic store, which is the one that provides 4 and 5* characters exclusively.
Anyone that has played from [October 26] till now will get a free few of them, one will be available from completing the Deadpool Daily Quest for that cycle, the Versus Event that weekend will reward another handful at 300 points, players that back up their save using our Facebook save system will get some, and everyone who has ever made a purchase until now to support our game will also snag some Command Points for themselves. So if you want a quick shot in the arm for your Command Point stock, get ready for the weekend!

hmm. not sure if this is good or bad to have yet another treadmill and currency setdon't remember if i've ever chipped in IAP for this game
― Nhex, Monday, 2 November 2015 18:01 (ten years ago)
Maybe I'm a sucker, but I like the sound of having another avenue to getting 4* covers.
― :wq (Leee), Monday, 2 November 2015 18:04 (ten years ago)
ok good, was finding the 4-star grind a little tiresome, esp. when I have all the 3 stars save a few fully covered.
haven't been able to play much the last week or so, will continue into the weekend, lol real life
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 2 November 2015 18:29 (ten years ago)
I don't get it. ISO is the soft currency, HP is the hard currency. Why do they need a third?
― aaaaablnnn (abanana), Tuesday, 3 November 2015 01:49 (ten years ago)
eh, it's not that unusual
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Tuesday, 3 November 2015 01:57 (ten years ago)
i've seen it before (P&D added a second "soft" currency recently), but i still think it's a weird practice
― Nhex, Tuesday, 3 November 2015 03:00 (ten years ago)
if people aren't spending money on iso because lol and not spending money on hero points because they don't give you the 4* and 5* stuff you actually need, it kinda makes sense to introduce something new. Also means that you can continue growing even if you only play casually (i.e. not enough to get a bunch of leg tokens and top 10 finishes)

Love the new Victory animation :)

They bedazzled it
― Nhex, Wednesday, 4 November 2015 19:23 (ten years ago)
Apparently the Professor X vs. Carnage node is pretty easy if you have at least one purple... but I have 0 Professors X and only about 30 tacos. Should I cash them in for the remote chance that I can pull a Prof?
― :wq (Leee), Thursday, 5 November 2015 00:01 (ten years ago)
your call. it's around a 10% chance. be sure prof x is in the pool of course.
― aaaaablnnn (abanana), Thursday, 5 November 2015 00:09 (ten years ago)
You have 30 tacos? Man, that's some restraint
― Nhex, Thursday, 5 November 2015 01:42 (ten years ago)
big day! finally got someone over 94!
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Thursday, 5 November 2015 03:55 (ten years ago)
Yeah, I'm going to let this one pass by. Two cycles from now will feature Scarlet Witch, Magneto, BP, Vision, and QS -- all of which could use covers. Of course that means I might pull a Carnage!
― :wq (Leee), Thursday, 5 November 2015 05:15 (ten years ago)
Congrats rogermexico, you are becoming one of us!
haha. fwiw puzzle quest feels pretty chill compared to Contest of Champions.
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Thursday, 5 November 2015 05:30 (ten years ago)
Professor X fight (I had a purple) was maybe the most boring game I've ever played. Whittling down Carnage's 10k health 30-120 at a time, yeesh.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Thursday, 5 November 2015 08:29 (ten years ago)
anyone ever just... not received a milestone reward?
i got the ISO for 1300 in the SHIELD sim but not the yellow Cyclops for 1200. i got the check mark for it but no cover, nothing in my roster. tried restarting the app etc but nada. apparently he is lost in the savage land or something.

Submit a bug ticket.
― :wq (Leee), Saturday, 7 November 2015 23:28 (ten years ago)
oh indeed
but apparently d3 actually takes the weekend off so it'll be at least 48 hours til I hear back. just wondering if this is a known thing :)
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Sunday, 8 November 2015 02:50 (ten years ago)
10 pack
Elektra red. now at 2/3/1Kamala yellow. now at 4/3/5Squirrel Girl purple. I keep tossing SG covers and getting more. One of the two 3*s I'm not bothering with (Vision's the other).3 3*s I have already4 2*s
― aaaaablnnn (abanana), Sunday, 8 November 2015 02:52 (ten years ago)
oh man, just realized one of the PvE nodes are gives command points (Kingpin in today's case)
― Nhex, Sunday, 8 November 2015 03:14 (ten years ago)
Actually it's two nodes that give command points -- the Kingpin as you mention, and also the final node.
― :wq (Leee), Sunday, 8 November 2015 05:08 (ten years ago)
ah, i've been too lazy to get to that. guess i'll be grinding PvE more!
― Nhex, Sunday, 8 November 2015 06:22 (ten years ago)
Got a Legendary Token from the DDQ vault today! ^_^Pulled a Mr. Fantastic. -_-
― :wq (Leee), Monday, 9 November 2015 00:52 (ten years ago)
uuurrrrgh. In the X-23 tourney, managed to grind all the way up to 998 points - with my boosted max Hulk and Luke Cage - to grab the X-23 card as a reward.... when suddenly all my retaliations came in, knocked me back down to 782 =(
― Nhex, Monday, 9 November 2015 07:25 (ten years ago)
yes, that always happens
― aaaaablnnn (abanana), Monday, 9 November 2015 08:08 (ten years ago)
Got 25 CPs today, pulled a Nightmare Snowman!
― :wq (Leee), Monday, 9 November 2015 17:15 (ten years ago)
ladythor for me
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Monday, 9 November 2015 22:44 (ten years ago)
which is nice bc 10-pack gave me fuck-all and support still hasn't resolved my missing summers
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Monday, 9 November 2015 22:45 (ten years ago)
about to cash in my 25 command points, experience my excitement/disappoint in real time w/ me
― nerd shit (Will M.), Tuesday, 10 November 2015 16:24 (ten years ago)
WHOA IT'S SILVER SURFER BLUE i didn't expect it to be something awesome!
― nerd shit (Will M.), Tuesday, 10 November 2015 16:25 (ten years ago)
ha nice!
― Nhex, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 17:04 (ten years ago)
No command point for today's Deadpool quest?
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Tuesday, 10 November 2015 23:48 (ten years ago)
No, that was just for the CP rollout (which also included a few other one-time CP rewards).
― :wq (Leee), Wednesday, 11 November 2015 00:35 (ten years ago)
aw
― Nhex, Wednesday, 11 November 2015 03:59 (ten years ago)
bah, had to the Kingpin node 8 times before I got my 25th CP. Blue Prof X so at least I have one of each of his now.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 11 November 2015 04:31 (ten years ago)
Pulled 5 3*s from my 10-pack!
Of which exactly 1 (black Psylocke) was usable!
Gamora red (I *just* got my fifth in the Simulator)3* Cyclops yellow (mine's 5/3/5, so no thanks)Colossus black (maxed)Captain Marvel red (whatever)
― :wq (Leee), Wednesday, 11 November 2015 18:08 (ten years ago)
it's been a non-internetty non-game-y month so I dunno if I'll hit the 10 pack this season
― droit au butt (Euler), Thursday, 12 November 2015 10:19 (ten years ago)
I opened 3 legendary tokens today -- I was saving them in case the 5* rate increased with the addition of Phoenix, which it didn't.
Iceman blue, now 0/2/1Cyclops red, now 1/0/1Silver Surfer black! second 5* token
also a 4* Deadpool black from some random token
― aaaaablnnn (abanana), Thursday, 12 November 2015 14:01 (ten years ago)
Another yellow 4* Thor from the PVE Legendary Token, she's at 2/3/1 now (I'm in line to get another blue in a couple weeks from the Daily Rewards), so I think I'll have a chance the next time she comes up in the 4* DDQ.
Still no 5* pulls for me.
― :wq (Leee), Thursday, 12 November 2015 17:32 (ten years ago)
I'm at 1000 in the Simulator -- how easy would the slog to 2000 be before the end of the season?
― :wq (Leee), Thursday, 12 November 2015 22:06 (ten years ago)
So we all get a Command Point whenever somebody in the Alliance breaks and buys some HP/iso? Devious.
― Nhex, Sunday, 15 November 2015 06:31 (ten years ago)
With less than an hour left in the Hunt PVE, I saw that I was about 12K from the Legendary progression, so I decided to give it a shot. Suffice it to say, I didn't come close -- I only earned about 4K -- but I did get an event token, and with it I pulled, DUN DUN DUN, Jean Gray! (Didn't get the command point from her essential node before time ran out, though.)
― :wq (Leee), Tuesday, 17 November 2015 04:49 (ten years ago)
so I did get the legendary and pulled... blue hulkbuster :(
managed a top-10 finish tho bc I needed those Thor covers
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Tuesday, 17 November 2015 07:22 (ten years ago)
I can't seem to do any better than the 100-150 range in anything now ;_;
on the plus side, I'm finally on my way to maxing out Luke Cage at 5/3/5 ^_^
― I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Tuesday, 17 November 2015 15:19 (ten years ago)
Wish I'd realized before last night that half the Ant-Man event nodes had HP rewards...
― Nhex, Thursday, 19 November 2015 16:52 (ten years ago)
I think there are three nodes in the latest Heroic sub that have CPs.
― :wq (Leee), Thursday, 19 November 2015 17:47 (ten years ago)
the second-to-last node has CP, but not the last one, weirdly enough. So does the Nick Fury node
