does anyone miss 200 ISO for clearing nodes?

The bonus iso reward for first time completion of a node in pve? I used to like seeing the bonus 200/100 pop up for completing a node in addition to the reward. Since no one ever mentioned it on here I assumed I was the only one that cared lol.

    There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth when it first disappeared but everyone seemed to be resigned to it after a couple of weeks.

    A lot of people have given up complaining on here as they're resigned to it never amounting to anything anyway.

    There's clearly some amount of ISO per day that the devs see as "right" and keep tweaking things to get to that level. I miss that ISO bonus, but, in total, I'm probably getting more ISO/day now than I was when it was there.

    Yeah, I miss this, I miss the guaranteed featured characters, I miss the 22% drop rate on featured characters, I miss the covers in the lightning rounds, I miss all the pre-nerf characters, I miss prologue healing, I miss the old pricing on the boosts... and I'm sure I'm forgetting more stuff. But if I spent time talking about how much I missed all the things we used to have before all of these player-unfriendly changes, there'd be no time to actually play the game.

    IF they'd kept the first time clear bonus and increased ISO costs a little bit, I probably would have preferred that just because it still feels like you're getting something, even if it worked out the same.

    That's not how demiurge operate though. icon_e_sad.gif

    It would also take the edge off of getting the useless critical boosts as a node prize. Could that possibly be replaced with literally anything else?

    I use them with Mags (either flavour) to make games go much faster. 2000 point match-3's (with a bit of strike tile help) are nothing to sniff at.

    To the OP's question: Of course.

    I wasn't around the forums when they took that bonus off. How did that turd get polished?

    I don't remember it being announced it was more "hey did anyone else notice the ISO's gone missing?"

    Yeah, I think it was another of the stealth changes but I'm not %100 sure.

    Sounds about right.

    I guess we weren't having fun collecting those bonuses.

    They might be marginally useful if they applied their bonus to critical matched - environmental tiles.

    Metrics clearly show that we love them, which is why they're rewarded in EVERY node.

    Hah, that's true eh? I use them all the time, and maintain a large stockpile. It must be because I really, really like them.
