I would rather if they made the CP nodes only reward 1 CP 1/1 Reward then I'll happily earn my measly 20 Iso for each completion after because winning a Critical Boost instead of the CP for 3/4 is beyond frustrating.

GrimSkald wrote: Yeah, it seems as if the 20 ISO comes up more often, but it really doesn't. The trouble is you can easily hit a node 8-10 times before you get all the awards, even more if you are unlucky.
GrimSkald wrote: So basically, the first time you hit a node, you will get an award. Any time thereafter you hit the node, you have a 50% chance of getting an award, 50% of 20 ISO, until you have gotten all the awards. Simple as that.

The devs keep telling us that randomness makes the game more fun. Can't you feeeel the enjoyment?? I think they're basing this theory on lab experiments on rhesus monkeys, not from the feedback of 10,000 people who are actually playing the game.

They told us this a while ago, but because it's seems so nonsensical, it didn't compute to a lot of people. And in case anyone's wondering, this means that on average, it will take you 7 clears to win all the awards. And 5% of the time, it will take you a dozen or more.
