20 ISO Nonsense

What really sucks is fighting ultron again and again, hoping for a token or 25 HP, and instead earning 250 ISO the first time and 20 ISO every time after that, when even getting to fight him, let alone winning, is quite a bit of work.

Yeah, that's pretty much me most of the time, worst possible reward, and then get stuck with 20iso forever after...

Why make us repeat missions where enemy levels get higher and higher as the game comtinuously pukes out 20 ISO more often than not? At least keep the enemy levels where they were if we don't get 1 of the 4 rewards. All you're going it do is frustrate the player base and make us feel like we're wasting out time for an abysmal amount of ISO. It is the opposite of rewarding; more like a sick joke.

Play PVP. Guaranteed rewards.

hahah, I made that post in February when I was playing sporadic PvPs and the deadpool daily, since those were the only things that were worth the time and effort.

Then came a bunch of ugly nerfs, health boosts and ridiculous changes to PvP that made this game an awful grind. Since then, I've done something better, I've stopped playing this game.

Combine all those changes with a pointless ban from the forums for 2-3 weeks because of my chosen user name (even though I've been posting regularly for over a year), ***. Oh, and the email address they provide to try to get un-banned was a non working email. I'll still drop into this forum to see when IceIX gets to updating/revising my user name and see what ridiculous **** is happening in MPQ, but I surely won't be bothered with MPQ anymore. Thanks for listening.

Oh, and did Phantron quit too?

I've decided to boycott spending money for HP until this is no longer an issue. Im sure they won't really miss my 2-5 dollar purchases every 2 weeks, but it's really the only way I can voice my displeasure with the use of this mechanic. I don't want the 20 ISO increased, I just don't want it given to me as "NEW REWARD" when there's 3 other rewards of value and it's already dropped 20 iso on me 3 times. Keep it as the reward after the node's rewards are exhausted, sure. But getting it instead of the actual rewards for the nodes is just bad.

If I had a super power, I'm pretty sure it's based on the uncanny increased probability of winning the fanatastic 20 EVERY TIME after the 1st clear. Either that or the mighty boost(s). Amazing.

It's pretty crazy seeing the date on the first post in this thread followed by the comment that the devs were "looking into it..."

Wonder how that's going...

The 20 iso is worse in EotS.. when re-doing it , at least give us 20 iso per wave.. i mean seriously??????

Marty17

OK, now I'm suspecting the game is broken. Cleared each mission 3x in EotS, each mission has 1/4 rewards obtained. It's ridiculous.

I would love to go back through Antman event, but have done 3 repeats, and 20 iso. So screw the event.

Thanos

Wish they'd also get rid of the critical boost as a prize, it's worse than the 20 iso.

Fine, keep the 20 ISO in the game devs but give 50 ISO between awards and I'll be less annoyed about having to grind and pray I get something. Thus, the gap doesn't widen too much.

I have absolutely terrible luck with ISO. At least I have the luck of the draw sometimes.

I've skipped eots after grinding the last one too much but the antman event has highlighted this for me. I'm 0/5 on my last 5 goes at big things/they're golls/space cadet. I've only got 4/12 rewards from those 3 combined. really want the hp (have 1/3 there). when there should be a 66% chance you get something, you should never be going 0/5. I'm no statistician but what are the odds of that?

I was being optimistic that maybe the Ant-Man event alters the % of obtaining other rewards, but it was same old same old.

Nah its actually useful with bullseye/ critical tile placement on occasion. (2 star bullseye is painfully underrated)

Placing 2 intelligently can be devastating.

The 20 iso on the other hand? Can't even buy a boost.

should be defaulted at 100 by now, and just raise the others accordingly.

nwman

Its a joke, and a painful one at that in Eots.

Easiest solution is to give 20 iso only after all 4 rewards are given out.

OR

If you want to keep it random, then please increase the iso to 50 or 100 while not all 4 rewards have been given out. After that drop it back to 20 to stop grinding iso.

I think most could live with that solution.

All of my Antman nodes gave me the top prize first. In fact, in the few times I've replayed nodes, I've ended up with listed prizes, which again, I assumed I owed thanks to D3 for. I had no idea others were still getting 20ISO "prizes" in the Antman event.

Admittedly, I assumed my experience was something D3 had done intentionally, because my MPQ luck simply isn't that good, but apparently I was wrong, and perhaps got some decent luck. Kind of a boon for me, but a bummer for others, because I thought maybe D3 had set it up so everyone would be able to get what amounts to a relatively tiny amount of guaranteed ISO.

Perhaps ironically, I almost feel worse for doing better than others than I do consistently reading about how awesome some peoples' token luck is. I know, I'm a freak.
