This thing needs to go to the same place 20 iso went. in fact, this 'reward' is even more useless than 20 iso. this thing either needs to disappear entirely, move to the easy nodes, or we need to have the ability to sell it for iso.

tired of beating the hard nodes for nothing. cause that's what this is. nothing. totally useless.

come on fellow boarders. we got 20 iso changed. this is next.

    No, we all hate them, but this has become the forum equivalent of "Are we there yet?" Devs are just gonna ignore us until we tire ourselves out.

    I don't mind the critical boosts but I do mind how often you get them. Seriously, you can only stockpile 30 of them but you get 3 from like 5 nodes every PVE sub, that's 15 a day + the ones you get randomly playing. iso8.png would be a lot nicer.

    So many boosts go to waste because of the 30 limit, would be nice if they would at least raise that.

    Let's just convert excessive amount of boosts to iso automatically.

    The best part of critical boosts is when you get that rare Facebook friend gift and....hi, it is a critical boost. Shoots self in face.

    Then there are the matches when the stars align and you cascade multiple 5* strength match-5s on the first turn with maxed out crit boosts, leaving a smoking crater where the opponent's lead character was. I get enough of them from random drops and facebook gifts (why can't we gift other boosts?), that I'd rather get 70 iso. But they can be fun. icon_e_smile.gif

    I actually love it when I get a Critical Boost reward. It lets me add another layer of strategy to how I enjoy playing the game.... Said no one ever.

    I use them quite often, nothing like 30k crits with a 5*, always seem to be @ 10 or under on them.

    I love crits with my OML too, but that's a very small playerbase that gets to make "good" use of crit boosts

    The problem I have is if I grow a wild hair and use crit boosts, yea, verily, nary a crit tile in sight. 'Tis but a shame.

    I used all of mine in one day, back when I was at 2star level, and DA Bullseye and O Spider-man were boosted at the same time. I think I haven't used any since then.

    SUPER depressing in double-iso event running high-scaled nodes and your first reward is....worthless critical boost.

    I fully expect my first reward in the second run of Civil War to be critical boosts.

    hehe you didn't get rid of the 20 iso. People grinding/botting it all day did.

    Look at the last pve where people grinded nonstop for 20 points, imagine how many were doing it, especially in the prologue, for 20iso.

    Doing 2 a minute for 12 hours is 30k iso.

    So sadly, no it was not anyone here that got it changed. It was people grinding away at the easy nodes that got it changed.

    While I agree that they ought to go the way of the Dodo, I do actually use them with JG5. 100% boost on an already insanely high match damage 5-match, is kind of fun. It helps with some of the non-urgent nodes that just need to be played (see: Gauntlet)

    I have just started to use them more often since I get them so much. They usually don't help a ton but sometimes they add an extra couple thousand points of damage to a match. Yeah I am in the get rid of them as a reward camp and simply distribute them as they do with all other boosts. Replace it with a 250 iso at least or better yet a heroic token (which isn't much different than 250 iso).

    You can tell the people in charge of rewards and the concept of fun have never run a business. They do nothing to retain customers just drive them away. Why do they insist on giving rewards to **** for the hardest fights in the game. If they made things fun and didn't act like giving us 10 ISO is the same as another company giving us 10 oz of gold, people would want to spend more money. other games give out rewards like candy and it makes me want to give them money. Not this one.

    Hey, that's an idea! Exhaust the 7 set rewards, then the replays are worth 20 points and a Critical Boost. Can I get a 'Hell yeah!'?

    Anyone?

    ...

    Is this thing on?

    Do none of you use winfinite? Crits were made for winfinite....

    I had 2 rewards left, 1000 ISO and a critical boost. What happened next will shock you!
    Actually, no it won't. I got the critical boost.
