Also, since ISO is so scarce, I'm waiting until I can max a bunch of my characters which I am pretty much only getting thanks to DDQ and some fun PVP action every once in a while. Does this scaling vs covers thing mean I now need to max anyone I can or can I stay soft-capped until I feel I can level enough characters to not be utterly destroyed by PVP and PVE scaling? Or is this a question that can't be answered yet, since this new PVE is just a test? I ask because I would get some covers in a few upcoming weeks of DDQ which would be my 14th cover for a few characters. If it doesn't matter on my levels and only looks at the number of covers, then I guess I should max my characters so I don't lose an extra cover I would get from DDQ and just try my bestest to compete until I can finally max everyone via DDQ. If it will go back to looking at levels as opposed to cover numbers, then I will just sell off the extra covers and max my people when I have a good enough number of characters that could handle a large scaling. Do these questions make sense...?
