I've updated the tables and calculators in the iso/level doc, and while I was at it, I fixed the calculator for 4*s. I deleted the two copies of the calculator, since they use the old incorrect formula; feel free to make a new copy of the locked sheet if you want to use the calculator yourself.

Yeah, I did this too when I updated my roster tools. I probably should've posted about it here to save you a couple minutes. I'm assuming that you just shifted the data the correct # levels, and that the data points are otherwise the same in terms of ISO accumulation (lmk if I'm wrong here). I also updated the level cap calculator table in my roster sheet at the same time, although that's just 4 cells at the bottom (the base values row in green needed to be updated - rest should still be the same) - if you want to update the main lcap calculator doc.

Why, they didn't boost his sell price?

One of the good things about PvE is that boosted 2*s made them good again, giving me a broader roster... Now that they don't tank for 3*s, they're back to worthless, except OBW and Ares

Roster diversity everyone

Once this goes live, players are recommended to play a Versus match in each of the current active Versus Tournaments to assure the updates take into effect for their own defending teams.

Until that happens, there are a lot of unsuspecting European 3x85 targets awaiting. It's almost worth buying health packs to continue the slaughter. In 2* world anyway, though I guess it's the same in 3* world.

I don't know if anyone has noticed or posted about it but, the characters that have the boost to 166 are showing up as 141 in PvP. Is this because they have not played after the update therefore, the character levels are what they were since the last time they played? Curious to know.

Lightening Rounds now feel a little less... lightening.

They are taking longer, more moves have to be made and my characters are actually losing decent chunks of health each time now. Quite noticeable on the 2*s.

yep you have to play your pvp and simulator to update your def team's levels.

Must buy more "health packs" if you want to play, D3 doesn't want you unless you pay more.

Something was updated as my entry matches to doom pvp do show 166 lvl opponents now that were 141s. It was like that from second the patch went live.

One one hand I am happy that some of my ignored 3*s are now somewhat playable (in events where Im not worried about defensive losses), but on the other hand, I am just throughly confused about my roster's status and synergy.

it could have happened cause when level changed went up, people in europe were probably done for the day/night, so they didn't get a chance to update their roster levels, that's my thoughts

It was fairly late in the evening, yes.

The only thing you manage to do is to make the difference between 2* and 3* even worse than before.
If you wanted to make 3* more playable at low levels, the only simple thing to do was to make their levels grow quicker per additional cover...

Now you quickly have a lvl 50-60 3* hero, great but you have to fight against legion of lvl 166 ones.
A really bad way to solve yet unsolved major issues.

Working as intended. The point is to try to get people to transition, even if it costs them $$$

My experience with the change:

First I should say I have lots of maxed 2* but no really usable 3*.

- Matches take longer.
- I lose more health as a result.
- Also true healing.
- Naturally it's harder to transition to 3* now unless you have 1 or 2 good 3* in which case you've already transitioned.

1 or 2 good 3* isn't already transitioned.

I've got Hulk, Patch and Punisher maxed, and it's pretty much a disaster. None of them are bad characters, but they are a bad team, and they're good enough to place me right in the middle of Sentry, Lazy Thor, C Mag and company.

Actually what I meant by my previous statement that when you have 1 or 2 3* chars, you'll be fighting against 3*s. Thus, we agree. I think.

I think we do too. Good stuff.
