Please OFFICIALLY comment on the Taco Token Stockpiles

I don't trust the stock piled Tacos. I tried to stock up and I opened 20 2*s and some HP. You're better off opening the 10 tacos at the end of the DDQ week at least that will net you 1 or 2 3*'s.

That's just the law of averages. I've gone well into the teens on various "Heroic or better" tokens without pulling a single gold, then pulled three in a row. Computers are actually quite bad at random number generation.

I'm going to track. Either they have increased the number of "Deadpool Daily Quest" events so that there will be more stacks, or they changed the code so that Taco Tokens always get their own stack. If it is the former, then we'll see some accumulation eventually. If not, then never. Speaking for myself, I'm going to keep all my tokens at dissimilar levels to track it. Experimentation is fun!

I can definitely say the new "Deadpool Daily Quest" is a new stack, so there's at least four iterations of the event. I've got two legacy stacks at well over 10, I'm going to reduce last cycle's stack to 8 and see what happens.

I still have not even gotten my 18 tokens back... still waiting on yet another reply from support.

It goes without saying that everyone is wondering which stockpiles pull from which group.....not to mention why and how our tokens were deleted in the first place.....so, can someone please let us know what us what?

Your tokens will pull from the exact same stockpile, at the exact same odds, as the group you originally won them in.

The details on this are very mundane, but I'll do my best to explain. We needed to update the IDs for tokens. This worked in our testing environment, but we missed a detail in how older event tokens are stored. When we started seeing reports, we scrambled to setup duplicate token redemption screens that point to the old IDs. That's why you see two token redemption screens for some events; they both redeem the exact same thing but they use different token IDs.

Hope that helps, but let me know if you still have questions.

Yeah..."exact same odds as the group you originally won them in". Does that mean the odds never update, and tokens this week (pulling Colossus+) will pull those same odds forever?

Or does it mean same group in the sense that the ones that used to pull "odd week" odds will continue to update to "odd week odds"?

Is there anyway to tell the old stockpiles apart anymore?

At the very least, is there a way we could get the little "?" with the token odds on the stockpiles? That would solve the problem forever, essentially.

This would be very, very nice (and help everyone out both here and those that wonder and never come in-forum)

You should PM Hi-Fi, as I think most of the tokens were auto restored. If yours are still missing maybe he can fast track support.

Could't find anyone by that name when i did a search.

Edit: Found him, used the wildcard, thank you very much, message has been sent.

The latter.

Sorry, no.

I took it to mean this:

Stockpile A : still 50, no way to differentiate from stockpile B. Will have "even" week draw percentage. (from rounds 2/4/6/8/10)
Stockpile B : still 50, no way to differentiate from stockpile A. Will have "odd" week draw percentage. (from rounds 1/3/5/7/9)
Stockpile C : 20 (continuing to grow), "odd" week draw percentage. (rounds 11/13/15....), currently stockpiled, active next round (13).
Stockpile D : 20 (continuing to grow), "even" week draw percentage. (rounds 12/14/16...), currently active, stockpiled next round (13).

There just isn't any way to know which of your stockpiles is A and which is B unless you had different amounts in them already. I may have to pull one out of C and two out of D just so this doesn't happen again.

The technical part I don't really get is stockpile A and B still exist, they point to C and D (respectively), but they didn't ADD to C and D. So they still must have different ID's?

Actually, I'm not even sure he's saying that. I think he was saying that even though we saw two screens, there was only one set of odds? I don't think I had any real splurges of token opening, so I couldn't say for sure this wasn't the case.

I'm confused, to be sure.
