Just FYI the ult upgrade boxes don't give generic tokens, they give you character specific tokens for the character you are currently on. Sigh.

Finally got a 90% discount on an alt acct and proceeded to buy everything in sight lol. Too bad you can't gift stash space, but I'm happy with all the TUs and costumes I bought.

Tomorrow (or possibly not) according to their latest announcement. The Uniques to credit chest conversion recipe will be going away with the patch, so if you have any duplicates laying around now is the time to convert them.

Just that recipe or all the uniques conversions?

For now, just these: The following recipes will be removed in the Talent update:
50k Credit Chest - Transforms three of the same Unique into a Credit Chest worth 50,000 credits. 200k Credit Chest - Transforms four of the same Unique into a Credit Chest worth 200,000 credits. 500k Credit Chest - Transforms five of the same Unique into a Credit Chest worth 500,000 credits. S.H.I.E.L.D. Med Kit - Transforms one simple element into a S.H.I.E.L.D. Med Kit. Critical Success: You create two of this item instead of one. S.H.I.E.L.D. Med Kits (6) - Transforms two primitive elements into 6 S.H.I.E.L.D. Med Kits. Critical Success: You create twice as many of this item. StarkTech Power Cube Socket - Adds StarkTech Power Cube Socket to a lower level Artifact. But later on: They're planning on having an event in between those two updates (or after both? Not sure on the exact timing, but before they introduce omega items) with tons of uniques dropping to allow people to complete achievements and such, but don't want people making bank on them with the credit chests.

They will no longer drop in the new system. They are being replaced by another type of item. Existing uniques you have will stay. They held an event last year with the release of Dr. Strange that dropped uniques at max level (not your characters level) so people could collect them. It sounds like they are bringing something similar back.

Is the new thing better? should i be hoarding them or trading them all for cash chests?

The new thing will be Omega Items. Whether they'll be better or not, only the devs know. There's some mock-ups in that thread but I don't think they've released any further information about them. Note that these will not be part of the patch scheduled for tomorrow. As to what you should do with your existing ones? I hung on to one of each and turned the rest into credit chests months ago so I'd have a stockpile of credits going forward. They'll still be usable after they introduce omega items and are intended to be used while farming for the new items.

AFAIK they'll still drop hero-specific uniques (and presumably any hero uniques) if you open them with any of the existing roster, even after the patch.

What would you use the cash for if you did?

lol. It started patching midnight last night, so I thought 'fuck it' and went to bed. Looking forward to getting utterly confused and fed up this evening. Any initial impressions from anyone ?

I haven't played regularly in months, but i logged in and did the cosmic trial on ms marvel without any issues with whatever items i left on her. I like the infinity system much better than the omega system. The new talent and stat system is going to require me to regear a lot of characters who already had top of the line stuff, but hey thats what the game is anyways. The travel power stuff is dumb and annoying.

I didn't play much last night and spent most of my time dealing with inventory cleanup*. I did cruise around MM for a bit on Psylocke who I've been leveling up. The movement changes are as bad as most people have been saying. Psylocke feels totally gimped, for example, cause movement powers were used to keep her from being squished, spawning her illusions, and triggering all sorts of bonuses to her powers like Assassinate. I don't understand how her powers and stuff are setup now so it's possible this other stuff is done without needing to use a movement or invisibility power now but she definitely feels like she has to be played differently. There were enough people in MM that if I ignored effectively not having any movement powers and the fact some of her staple powers from before are totally different now and I squinted a lot it did mostly feel like I was playing the same game as before. But that could just be that I was being carried through all the boss fights. I also tried out Captain Marvel in the training room and many of her powers were so different now I just gave up trying to play her for now. * For some reason they decided to totally change the costume core system including their names and icons so all of them got removed from costumes and stuck into your inventory or overflow and some subset of the cores you had in stash space were also stuck in your inventory or overflow so I had to clean all that crap up cause I had no inventory space left.

They STILL haven't implemented a sort feature in your character's inventory. They did it for the stash but NOT the inventory?

The cool thing about the core changes is that you no longer need your default costumes (take them off and you'll look the same), so go ahead and blender them.
Speaking of which they are coming out with a "costume closet". Basically costumes will no longer take up space and you can scroll through them. With this change we'll no longer get a free default costume when prestiging so prestige while you can if you want to blend costumes.

Another nice change is that you no longer have to give a shit about cosmic medallions, now you can just use a purple one if it has nicer stats.

Squirrel Girl is strong again. Jean took a hit from her clean mental rotation, but she's nearly unkillable for the most part. I still don't get Hawkeye, but he can actually kill things now and feels like he contributes. Hulk is oddly squishy still. Thing isn't the powerhouse he was. Rogue is fun to chase powers with her new library thing.

Every other report i've heard so far puts Thing as one of the best out of the redo and basically op and unkillable.

Yeah, but his damage output was "low" so he didn't get the big front and center love of the meta

Really? She feels super squishy now -- doesn't dodge nearly as much as she used to.
