Nice change to the Gauntlet node rewards!

I have noticed the nodes on the Gauntlet missions now have 7 rewards instead of 4. It will probably reduce the chance of getting 20 ISOs when you grind for rewards. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Nah, it just means 20 iso will be a bigger taunt to you when you are still on 1/7.

    Not unless they also changed the system where the chance of 20 ISO is always 50% after the first time...
    But hey, that might have changed, and it's definitely nice to have more reason to play through those nodes again.

    It's OK for nodes that don't give out CP.

    If the regular PVEs have 7 possible rewards on the CP nodes too, plus the 50% chance of 20 ISO (which in reality is more like a 85% chance) I will personally send the devs something burning and smelly.

    This change would've been good if the extra three rewards were good. It's now even less likely you'll get the top Iso reward and more likely you'll get the lower value one. They've essentially reduced the flow of Iso into the game. icon_e_sad.gif

    Edit: If indeed the 20 Iso is now a relic the added rewards are definitely a boon.

    I have noticed on the last node it only has 2 rewards, 1 CP and 1x 500 ISO. All other nodes have 7 rewards.

    It's all well and good that they added these rewards. But really, who grinds the Gauntlet?

    Little disappointed in the lack of command points so far...

    People who'd rather get some ISO than complain about not having ISO, I guess...

    You guys do know that you get all the rewards now, no 50%, no 20 iso icon_e_smile.gif

    That's valid, and now that I know the nodes give all rewards without 20 iso I understand a little more why. But I know I'd rather complain than do 3x395 battles for 250 iso icon_lol.gif

    Confirmed. 20 ISO is dead, at least for this event. Why they wouldn't announce this change from the rooftops via screaming albino gorillas is beyond me, but rejoice!! NO MORE 20 ISO BOOBY PRIZE!!!

    Any yet, somehow, the critical boost reward survives. You were thisclose D3. It's a welcome change, no doubt, but you missed an obvious change to make it even better.
