    Just here to put words to my upvote of OP. I'm not holding out hope of any change or even a red statement on the issue, but it's still good to raise our voices.

    This was something not that important for me, it was just bad in Ultron or Galaktus events, but now with CPs, this is crazy! Yesterday I had to beat the most difficult node like 6 times (and 3 more times doing the normal clears) before I could get the CP, that's 9 times!

    Please devs remove the 20 iso price and just give the 4 (or whatever) prices of the node in any order.

    i gave up on the cp in the punisher node on the first day of the prodigal pve after 13(!) tries.

    its a useless point for a useless token unless you are far into 4* land.
    keep that token.

    Being forced to fight 209 Black Panther and M40 over and over is just pure undiluted sadism. I've got 50 minutes left but I give up on this cp... Happy now?

    It sometimes takes over 10 tries to win that single CP. For me it is like I have to focus either on clearing subs in optimal way and forget about CPs, or to focus only on grinding nodes for CPs.
    Yesterday it took me over one hour and almost all health packs to grind CPs - I am not sure if it was worth it.
    This is so frustrating...

    Stealing someone else's thought to echo it, I hadn't even contemplated the ramifications of the CoPos on the current competitive structure of PvE.

    Admittedly, I'm not bothering to play PvE with any intent anymore (too much commitment, already play competitively in PvP, yada yada), so my CoPo grinding is not worrisome for me personally.

    That said, I can see folks coming to some pretty tough choices, the kind D3 is infamous for (buy roster slots or lose heroes), and potentially suffering some arguably pyrrhic victories in the process.

    Do I grind this node down to 1 early to hopefully get the CoPo, or do I preserve the points in an attempt to place well and just pray that it shows up?

    Not an awesome choice, considering D3's insistence on making their PvE actually PvPE.

    Hi Mods,

    No need to move this post. I created a new one for the devs to view that contains the link to this discussion along with a picture of the post to show the high amounts of Thumbs Up. Let's keep this alive in the General Discussion. Come on everyone support this discussion by giving a Thumbs Up to the post and providing your feedback!

    7 of my first 8 rewards for one of the Kingpin nodes were 20 ISO. Took me 12 tries to get the CP, and I still never pulled the 250 ISO reward.

    I'd like to see a "vault" of node rewards. And maybe instead of 4 rewards there are 8, but there is no reason you should be able to clear a node down to 1 in your final grind (having already cleared it 2 or 3 times prior as well) and still not have that little green check mark next to it.

    But by completing the node on 12 tries for 20 iso, you earned 240 Iso! That more than makes up for the missed 250 Iso reward... right? icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I've ground nodes to 1 twice with only one award given out. that should almost never happen, much less twice over one weekend. if they truly think they're random is really random, they just have their heads in the sand.

    Yeah - for the overscaled nodes, I'm basically hitting them about 4 times and if they don't yield the CP then I'm moving on.
    I would REALLY like to know if this was contemplated by the DEVs when they decided to put CP into the 1/4 reward structure.

    They really shouldn't counting this 1 CP as "adding to the economy" if you often have to grind a single node 6-8 times in order to win it - oh wait, I forgot....4* DDQ.

    I guess this is their idea of "more awesome" at work.

    Edit -> meant to say 4 times for the over-scaled PVE nodes, not 3.

    The sad thing, based on some of what I read on the forum, is that I actually had to check the name of the poster to know this was sarcasm... icon_e_wink.gificon_lol.gif

    All these whiners whining and complaining about the 20ISO award... Come on, man, suck it up! icon_e_wink.gificon_lol.gif

    Maybe people will stop making this thread if someone in red ever bothers to post in one of them.

    Can't argue with that at all... It was addressed sideways politically in one of the forum question Q&A's, they said it is in the pipeline, but low priority. Hopefully with command points now a sub reward for 2 of the hardest subs in Story Events, which is giving even PVP only vets a reason to do some event clears now, we have a better chance at it being addressed.

    Hopefully 250+ upvotes here pushes that priority up a bit.

    Exactly as much as the interface design thread with that purdy picture did.

    Every node with a CP as a reward I always get the crit boost first, then only 20 ISO for there on out. It's ridiculously frustrating!
