Wyrm, from some time ago I am also needing a lot of ISO to level my covers.

But I think this is exactly how F2P games business go: you have the chance to level up for free, but at a somehow slow pace, or boost up spending $$$.

I know people that will buy HP. I know no one, and mean no one, who is buying ISO. They amounts and prices are pretty much prohibitive to purchase iso.

Hi everyone,

Firstly, please accept my apologies if we weren't clear on dates surrounding our 1-Year Anniversary.

To paraphrase a chat response I had with the devs: "The reason we set the in-game anniversary dates to 10/10 was so players that are finishing up Season 6 could participate. Shortening Season 6 to 10/3 caused other scheduling issues, so we felt moving the date back a week and letting players enjoy the anniversary bash made the most sense. To make up for missing the 10/3 date, we turned the anniversary into a full week of events."

Hope that helps clarify our reasoning. Thanks all for your passion. We hope you enjoy the anniversary week!

I certainly hope the "Devil Dinosaur is only available in packs for the week of the anniversary, and for the 365th day progression" bullet points are incorrect (or at the very least the 365 day progression is for all three covers).

Having a 4* that has 2 powers only available via random pack draw one week of the year is a horid idea. It just screams money grab more than fun celebration (assuming the anniversary pack is purchasable). If they are not purchasable, those events will be a blood bath.

He probably means only this week will you have Devil Dino in the special pack because the rest of the year we're still stuck with the heroic packs that are never updated and thus cannot possibly have Devil Dino along with a whole mess of 3*s that aren't in those packs.

•Fan-picked PVP and PvE events! These events will reward special Anniversary Pack Tokens that include..
•Devil Dino! Finally playable, he’s a Legendary character with 3 abilities. He's available for this week only, with one exception:
•If you've been playing for a year, you’ll find a very special Daily Reward for #365: your own Devil Dino.


I'm assuming it's just poorly worded. I'm thinking it means the Anniversary Packs are only that week. Otherwise, I'm thinking the forum will be on fire even more than TUP's or True Healing.

Yep, days 365-367 are a Devil Dinosaur fest!

Other than that, the anniversary week is your chance to earn Devil Dinosaur for the foreseeable future.

(We're limiting the impact that has on players that miss him during the anniversary celebration by balancing him to be closer to a souvenir than a character you'd expect to see at the top of the leaderboards the other 51 weeks of the year. Depending on where you are in the game, he might be a great find for you, but he won't go toe-to-toe with X-Force.)

Here's the 470,000 iso question: Are you going to increase players'ability to gain iso?

I am between casual and hard core. I can max a 3* player every other week of I play as much as possible over that time period. It's not sustainable for me or most to play that way. This means I couldn't can't keep up with the characters release frequency,o can't catch up on my other characters that iI have covers, bit not iso for, so I certainly have no chance of leveling 4*'s in addition to old and new regular characters. Therefore, I'm hoping the iso faucet is turned up from the drip it feels like it's at now. I readily concede there's more iso available now than ever before. However, this does not mean the amount available I'd adequate to keep up with the needs of the game.

This is the reason I haven't spent money on this game in a while. There are covers I'd consider spending my HP on, but I don't have the ISO to level the character up if I were to buy it. I could buy ISO, but it's $500+ to max level a and $200+ for a (if my math checks out). That's just way more than I can justify spending, even if it's just a portion of that since I'll get some ISO in the game just by playing.

My patience on not buying covers I'm missing I feel is encouraged by the way the game is set up. I'm spending the ISO I do earn on characters who are finally fully covered, while waiting to get covers on a handful of characters. By the time I get the covers I'm missing on that handful, I have a new set of characters with missing covers and I'm spending my ISO on the one's I've just fully covered (hope this makes sense). I get that this is the treadmill D3 probably wants me to be on, but I don't see how it makes them any money off of me. I keep track of the ISO I need to fully max my roster and it has been shrinking over time (I play way too much, imo), but I still have quite a while (months...1/2 year? maybe) before I'll be ahead in the ISO game. Which in turn means it will be a while before I feel compelled to spend money on anything in this game.

Will the day 365 daily resupply stay Devil Dino for those of us hitting that day later on or is it just for those hitting that timeframe this week?

Thanks for the clarification. I certainly don't mind this sort of roll out. People that don't want to wait can pay what they would like to have them. And those of us that want to be patient can go about our business without stressing over the events that week. I know I won't be buying Anniversary token's just to complete my want to have one of everything compulsion. I don't mind missing out on a character for a bit.

It'll stay Devil Dino indefinitely.

(No one will get the 365 day reward during the anniversary week, since daily rewards weren't introduced until R40, which landed 10/23/13.)

Thank you Will for the clarification.

That's 120 days waiting for me

For those old timers playing along at home that means we will get our Devil Dino covers on October 22, 23, and 24, 2014 if you've been playing and logged in every day since daily rewards were instituted.

I agree with these dates as that's when my Day 365-367 fall as well.

Excellent and respectful reply to some very childish complaints. I'm liking D3 more and more.

I appreciate someone from D3P apologizing. I did not pay attention at first.

While i appreciate the new 4* character I'm disappointed he's not going to be worth using. I'd have preferred they made him a solid 3* instead. I hope they give out some free cover slots to go along with him cause i don't feel like spending 600 HP for an unplayable trinket.
