ISO 20. No More?

So just for giggles I ground the first three nodes of Gauntlet for every reward, and I never popped a 20 ISO. Not once. 21 straight rewards. Is 20 ISO gone?

    No, I've just been getting them all so you don't have to. You're welcome

    I also heard from a reliable source that the 20 ISO reward has been removed as of today. The question is why does D3 choose to silently release the most requested features instead of announcing it from the rooftops? They also did not announce when they added the strongest color to abilities like XFW black and that was a widely requested feature.

    I got a 20 ISO drop during my 2nd galactus clear today so I would imagine 20 ISO is still here to piss me off.

    They probably weren't able to patch it in on Galactus since it is already running but Gauntlet just started.

    I think it's been in progress for a little bit - I noticed a few PvEs ago when I was aiming for CP rewards that I was getting a lot fewer 20 iso rewards. I didn't really do enough testing to actually confirm though.

    Make it 28 straight, and not one single solitary ISO 20. Please let this not be a glitch.

    So does the 8th go give nothing or does the node lock?

    8th Clear gives you nothing, apparently. I think it was this that broke the PVP rewards. I hit "Simulation 02" 8 times to try it.

    Wow. This is such a positive change. In an abstract sense, I know it won't make a tremendous difference, maybe a k or 2 a day, but there's nothing like the feeling of going through a hard node, have your team torn up to shreds by some bad luck, and seeing the "20 Iso" reward pop up. Seriously, it made me want to stop playing the game entirey.

    I hope this is a permanent fix. I can't imagine them not going forward with this...

    really hope all pve nodes get this update. 4 clears/sub with no 20iso, i'll play nearly every one to the LT.

    Hey, if we're lucky they'll keep it at 7! But I'll take 4. So long as 20 Iso is dead.

    After claiming all rewards, you appear to get absolutely nothing.

    The points screen comes up, so in non gauntlet situations, I'd assume you still get progression points.

    Does anyone know how ones that reward CP work (does gauntlet have any)? Are there seven other things you still could win each time? My concern is we'll still end up with potentially 8 replays to get one CP.

    from what I heard the last node of sub1 has 2 awards, cp and 500iso, so not so bad there.

    One to two clears for CP, guaranteed? If so, well done devs. I might actually consider lifting my boycott and get in on the HP sale.
