Anyone else feeling an ISO crunch?

Unknown

Although I was thoroughly bored fighting the same old Thorverine teams again and agai, I was as guilty as everyone else for taking advantage of it. Now the changes have come and gone and we should be looking at our different team comps I'ts really hammered home how much my roster sucks.

I admitted in another thread I levelled badly, I have a lot of characters in the 40-55 range who are utterly, utterly useless in tournaments and Thick as Thieves like PvE. Of course, I'm always matched against max rank characters in PvP so I need to level some of these fellas. I'm trapped though. I don't have strong enough characters to win enough matches to make the ISO I need to level them and now boosts are completely out of the question.

I'm really feeling an ISO crunch now and the occasional 200 PvP win isn't going to cut it. Seriously, price the ISO/£ conversion properly and I'll buy a bunch because frankly it is doing my head right in.

Yeah, ISO has been the limiting resource for me a long time now.

The PvE events help a bunch, I often get 50K+ from those (which is like 75 levels on a 2*). Probably less this time around, though.

Lightning rounds are also pretty decent, I can get around 2K in 15 minutes fighting seed teams. If I join 6 lightning rounds in a day, that's 12K ISO, and then 24K over two days. All from fighting teams with less than lvl 20ish characters.

I've also sworn off getting 3* characters to lvl 141. lvl120 is my new 'max' - they are usually plenty formidable at that level and the last 20 levels are a huge ISO dump.

Yeah I think this Thick as Thieves is seriously hurting me which may be why it feels so much worse than usual.

I only get to play 3 hours a day. So the lack boosts, broken PvE and slower match times have really limited my earnings.

I probably need to wipe my Facebook friends list and start over. I think maybe one guy is still playing. I haven't received a reward in three days now.

it also feels even more restricted due to the fact that people are finally needing to level up 3* characters in order to compete at a high level.

getting by on 2*'s has become tougher with the latest nerfs, and the HP amounts on the 3*'s when they're leveled up are significant.

The more quality 3* characters that are released will reduce the desire to level up 2*'s. As long as the dev's are committed to keeping 2* characters powers' at a 2* level, you will need more ISO!

eidehua

Yep. Actually what I do is just level the boosted character to 50 or so. In Hulk I got wolvie 2* and got him to 70+. In The Hunt: Ares I leveled Hulk and Punisher. Hulk was also featured in tourneys so that was good too. Leveled up Patch pretty high for Thick as Thieves. Leveled Ares for his tourney. I don't really have a standout character (after rag nerf lol).
And by boosted I mean the ones with the largest crystal.

It took me a long time to realize that although everyone says HP is more valuable, Iso8 is the real limiting factor. It's kind of funny because if they make +3 all AP cost 500 iso people would probably think that's okay, even though that converts to 200 HP if you're to buy it from the store. Sure, people will say 'but you can grind 500 iso', but if you're chugging those down at the rate you are, you'd find that you would usually walk out of a touranment with less Iso 8 than you started with.

That's because you can farm iso in game and can't really farm HP. And the shop rates are irrelevant for whoever not buying anything for $. Yeah, the shop ISO is overpriced bigtime, we discussed that, guess there are still some spenders.

you need the hp for the shields to play pvp , or buy those wolvie/bag-lady covers that you'll never get now

You mean the Avenger Elite? I can only imagine how many shields people were going through in that tournament. One 3 hour one has always been enough for me in any other tournament that ends at night. For the morning ones I'd need an 8 hour one, but usually those are hard to predict so I don't bother.

Feeling the crunch for weeks for now. After the update, I'm having a fun crunch too.

I don't think I'd mind so much if the amount of ISO they give for the money in the store was even vaguely worthwhile. it's another great example of value being high for the absolutely brand new player then being nonexistant after you've been here for a week.
