**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

How to get these 2* champions

I've been looking through my roster and comparing to the champions that are actually available as 2*'s. I've opened thousands of PHC crystals and duped MANY MANY times most of my champions. It makes me wonder if there were special events to get these specific champions or if my luck is really THAT bad.

Missing 2* champs
Mutant:
Deadpool (red)
Magneto (marvel now)
Old Man Logan

Mystic:
Dr. Strange
Thor (Jane Foster)

Science:
Captain America WWII
Quake

Skill:
Daredevil (Netflix)
Punisher

Tech:
Vulture
Civil Warrior
War Machine

Are these actually available in 2*'s?

    I don’t think any of these are in the regular crystals and a lot of these are exclusives, but you can get a 2* Punisher from the 1v1 versus crystal.

    War machine is there in the 2* star exclusive crystal

    Others were a one time thing

    Science:
    Captain America WWII -> Google play exclusive

    The 2* deadpool you have to buy within the first 2 weeks of creating your account. The 2* strange was a deal you had to buy like dp when his movie was released
  • Deadbyrd9Deadbyrd9 Posts: 3,469 ★★★★
    Im pretty sure there was a crystal that was released that had Thor Jane foster in it for some day about women. I had the offer to get it and I use Game Center not google play
  • SlyCat42SlyCat42 Posts: 500 ★★
    They all have been briefly available through special promotions or like when the Spiderverse crystals were part of 3 day event quests.

    Just have to wait for those to come back.

    Red deadpool 2* was part of my original team. He was unduped forever since there is no way to dupe him. Obviously now with 2* awakening gems coming out our ears he is awakened lol.

    Collection urges

    Hello everyone, hope all of you are doing well. Today's questions happen to be these: from a collector's stand point, not from what's going to be best for game play stand point. For the current Marvel Insider Exclusive Rewards, should I pull the trigger on the 2* Blade and hope that I'll have enough points to acquire 3* Morningstar later in the month? I currently have 127,750 points and I believe that I have 20K more coming in from setting up a brand new Marvel Puzzle Quest account back in late Aug. sometime. I believe that the 20K from the new MPQ should show up sometime towards the end of this month or the beginning or middle of Oct. So if I spend 30K for 2* Blade, that'll take me down to 97,750 and 20K new points will bring me back up to 117,750. I then only need to acquire 7,250 more points on activities before the offer expires on 11/12/17. That's doable isn't it? And if not, it shouldn't be too big a deal, right? Because as far as I've researched in the past, new "Marvel Insider Exclusive" 3 Stars are not ever at risk, as far as I found out, only the 2 stars are judging from the answers given above. I'm asking all these questions simply because I once asked this question awhile back:

    "If I don't have enough Marvel Insider points at the time that some of these newer 3 Star Marvel Insider promotional Characters get released such as the Green Goblin, will I permanently miss out on them? I wasn't able to secure the Green Goblin because I just couldn't come up with the massive amount of points they wanted for him in time. I'll be pretty disappointed with Kabam if the Green Goblin isn't going to be up for grabs via a random pull off of a 3 star crystal as I was supposed to have obtained him via 125,000 Marvel Insider points instead...."

    This is the answer I received:

    "Gobby will be added to the crystals on the same schedule as other champions."

    So, if new "Marvel Insider Exclusive" 3 Stars are always added to the 3 Star rotation from 3-Star Crystals but new "Marvel Insider Exclusive" 2 Stars are not always included in the Premium Hero Crystal and/or the 2-Star Crystal, if I want to collect everything I can and not miss out on anyone new, I need to snap up these 2 stars and if I don't quite make the cut on having points enough left over for the 3 star bundle, wait until later on down the road when I'm lucky enough to pull that particular 3 Star from a Crystal right?

    Everyone let me know your thoughts ASAP so I can make a decision on which bundle to pull the trigger on 1st and thank you everyone in advance for all of the replies I'll receive to this very important matter.

    The 2star will be exclusive for some time.

    The 3star you can try from the feature crystal when the hero comes out, or the 3star Arena, or if or when there is a special or general release like Jane Foster/Daredevil Netflix in Romance Crystals OR Carnage in Spiderman Quest Crystals

    So, Yagami9999, answer this question for me, since you missed out on 2 star Vulture due to not having the 30K Insider points to spend on him at the time, are you forever denied the ability to acquire him then? If that's the case, I think I will pull the trigger on 2 Star Blade 1st just to ensure that I acquire him for my collection.
  • winterthurwinterthur Posts: 7,655 ★★★★★
    May I answer?

    I think Blade will come around but need to wait. I say bite the bullet.
  • MarzGrooveMarzGroove Posts: 903 ★★★
    I have 49 2*. 56 is pretty good. I’m only bummed about no having Electro though

    At this moment in time, yes. I will never get him.
    Luke Cage (I dunno where this one come from)
    Magneto Marvel Now (Mutant Crystal hate me)
    Jane Thor (I don't have Sony Phone)
    Vulture (Marvel Insider codes run out too fast)
    War Machine (I got WWII Cap)
    X-23 (i got Logan)

    I cannot get these heroes unless Kabam relese them like in the Romance Crystal / Spiderverse crystal / etc.

    And It's not because I didn't have 30K points. This was a special comic-con redemption with code but very very limited amount was given. He basically was "sold out" 2 hours after his code was posted on reddit and trucos.

    They then knew the amount release was insufficient, then had a new promotion in Marvel Insider and did re-release him with 100 or 1000 people who can buy him but when I woke up, he was gone round 2 also, damn sleep got in the way.

    Any 2 stars from Marvel Insider is exclusive until or unless Kabam makes a general release
    Like Groot (Marvel Insider + GotG 2000 shard crystal)
    and
    Carnage (Marvel Insider + Spiderverse 2000 shard crystal)

    Certain champions remain exclusive like the above list for me as of todate. And new players cannot get 2star spidergwen or groot or etc as they were once a period release.

    Get the 2star Blade <
    My advice if you are Ash Ketchum
  • BoegotaBoegota Posts: 51
    Thank you very much Yagami9999, your last answer tipped the scale for me and I'm now going to pull the trigger on the 2 Star Blade and hope I can recover enough points in time for the 3 Star Morningstar.
  • BoegotaBoegota Posts: 51
    Ok, new question for you Yagami9999. According to DoctorJ's answer to Hawke's original post, both Old Man Logan and X23 were available from a special wolverine crystal that was given out when Logan movie was released. Was there only one crystal given to everyone at that time and it was 50/50 as to which of the two you got and once you had one, in your case Old Man Logan, you're permanently barred from getting the other, as in your case X23? Another question I had was about Captain America WWII version and War Machine. I saw a You Tube video from a pair of gamers from the UK. One of them had an I-Phone and the other had an Android. The guy with the I-Phone was whining about how it was so unfair that he couldn't have a free Cap. WWII version 2 star just because he has an Apple phone while his friend was just loving it and laughing at him the whole time cause she had Android and got one. So, being that those two were saying that Cap WWII was a freebie via Google Play, I don't understand why you're saying that you had a choice between getting Cap WWII and War Machine. Can I get more clarification on that?

    War Machine was included in special crystals as a part of the Civil War. Captain America WW2 was also included in special crystals as a part of the Civil War last year. You got crystal shards based on a daily quest (Team Ironman or Team Cap). You could change your faction after a certain amount of time though.

    Most champs on your list are only available from offers. Others are only available when given as a free reward. Hope that helps

  • BoegotaBoegota Posts: 51
    Yep did that and thankfully for the large 20K reward for the 4 table scavenger hunt code during the NYCC, I had enough points for BOTH the 2* Blade and the 3* Morningstar! Super stoked that I didn't have to choose between them on this latest reward offer! Pretty sure I will have to choose between an exclusive 2* and a quick get it now 3* in future offers however.... :( I hate having to choose... LOL
