Iso-8 packages for $$$

Since the introduction of CP, I am a lot more aware of how often people purchase hero points. I have no data to back this up, but I am willing to bet that Iso-8 sales are nowhere close to HP sales. I am also willing to bet that there are people like me who would like to purchase Iso-8 if the Iso-8 per dollar ratio was any decent. Maybe D3 is happy with their Iso-8 sales, but they are missing out on potentially $200+ from me and I can't be the only one.

If I have no Iso, I don't need HP. If I have a lot of HP, I need even more Iso and no matter how desperate I feel, I will not purchase any Iso at it's current rate. Please adjust your packages and fix all other Iso-8 issues too icon_e_biggrin.gificon_e_biggrin.gif

    This is how feel about pretty much every thing they sell in the shop period.

    I wish I could give these guys my money, but the value returned per dollar is so dismal, I can't rationalize buying anything whatsoever beyond the initial 20 bucks or so required to kickstart yourself with roster slots galore as a newbie.

    Either they have data that proves my theory wrong, or maybe they will eventually fill that telemetry position and the marketing/data guy can facilitate some better changes to the way they monetize.

    I think they are missing out on so many people who want to support their play with a more steady, but modest level of expenditure. They really only seem to be interested in whales.

    If you're desperate, you can always hand off your phone to someone to hit prologue for 20 isos a pop. icon_mrgreen.gif

    Or you can just aim for the CP on the hardest node of any PVE...and end up with 20iso repeatedly.

    if all your buying is slots all you need to spend is 20 bucks
  • I totally agree. I would spend money right now if the price/ amount was fair. I cannot justify it now the way it is. 78,000 for $100! That is basically 3 characters 16 higher levels each. I can't do it

    Devs have commented on this before, that iso is there for people who just HAVE to have it.

    I have purchased iso twice, in very small amounts, to achieve a particular task in a pinch back when iso was rare. And it wasn't a LR day icon_lol.gif

    Wait, technically I bought iso thrice. Steam DLC includes some iso ((Asgard + Rich Deposit) @ 67% off)

    Iso is the governor on player progress. Control of it keeps the playerbase from overheating, from reaching the endgame too quick and burning out.


    I also have spent money on Iso in the past. I took said Iso and bought standard tokens with them. /flex
  • Just compare the time required to earn the ISO for what you pay to HP. In a week I can earn 78k ISO, but to earn 20k HP (both sold for the same $100) would take months.

    Pretty clear that the ISO is way overpriced.

    Silver Surfer/OML/Iron Fist will make prologue matches really quick with match damage and the free attack tile if you're that bored icon_e_biggrin.gif
