Are you getting more ISO from new PVE?

mpqr7

I don't feel like I'm getting any more ISO than before. At least without access to my OML, the challenging nodes are scaling up way out of control, killing off all my characters and lowering my interest in beating them after a few tries. So it seems to be about the same or less than before. How is it going with others?

Bossblack

I feel I got a little more and a lot more if I grind down all the nodes to 0.

It may not be worth the time grinding but at least there is an option there for me to get more ISO if I am willing to grind.

I think I got around 15K ISO per sub for this test PVE.

AE_Fios

Much less, because I'm skipping it, because 15 clears a node is for crazy people.

mckauhu

Yes, a little more normally would get around 10k / day but now getting around 14k / day assuming I don't fed up playing those nodes over and over again

It's kind of a wash for me, there may be more iso in this test, but I'm consuming quite a bit due to the scaling. With enemies capped at 325, I don't need to boost, at 420... yeah

Seeing as nothing else changed, most of the excess must have come from the change in PvE.

A little bit of it could be the increased iso from alliance members being active. 1800/day extra x 3 days = 5400 extra iso.
You also played more than normal too. 15 or 9 clears is awful lot. I guess you still come up on top since sometimes, I would hit nodes with no rewards just to place higher. Now every node has rewards.

Getting more iso, but also grinding more so less iso/time. Really would've liked them to reduce or keep the clears at 3-6 while condensing the iso prizes and getting rid of crit boosts once and for all.

So from Friday till Sunday I was getting a ton of ISO because I was able to do full clears. For sub 4 starting on Monday I was not able to do full clears nor was I able to do enough clears to gain more ISO. There is definatly more ISO to win but the time cost and the scaling makes it tough. The really big time constraint has been the survival nodes. When there are 5 waves it takes way to long to grind down for the rewards. Quake has been so clutch in this PVE since I normally hate this PVE. This is the he first time I have earned max progression rewards on EOTS in 4 runs? I normally have not fully done the survival nodes more than once but I did full clears this run

Yup. I'm probably actually getting less iso from subs 3+ because I can't play all day and the wave nodes no longer give one big prize.

Getting more - more rewards.

Using more - constant scaling requires constant boosts.

End result - about the same.

Ducky

I was getting more. Scaling is now to the point where I'm just not playing all the nodes completely anymore, so I will get less iso as a result.

Boosted champion HB and JG have excellent partners, so I'm doing a ton of damage quickly even against scaled to 420 opponents.

I'm getting way more rewards, and the only time I boosted was to try and finish a sub with very little time remaining (see my post in MPQ GD for more).

There should be a second 25 CP reward for higher progression. I hit max progression for the seven day event after only four days. Since they give out 50 CP in seven days for 3 day/4 day events, there should be a second 25 CP reward on seven day events.

I absolutely 100% agree with this. After sub day 1 I was sitting 1st place. After sub day 2 still in first place. Now since the weekend is over and I'm at work. I'll grin to secure a t10 finish but after that I don't care any more.

I hit max progression on day 3 or 4 and the first few subs I had full clears of everything now I'm well over max progression and I think my score is around 145k give or take a little here and there. I'm fine with a 2-5 finish cause it will still champ my x23 and give me a lt from it.

But c'mon if I'm able to double the max progression scores we as a player base should be rewarded for higher scores. Just like in pvp if people who always go over 1300 and get outrageous scores of 2k-4k in a single event then award them. I personally stop after 1300. No sense in me wasting my hp on sheilds to secure a t10 spot at that point. I'll get 1 cp and 25 hp back Whoopi! Award us if we can and do score higher

Feels like more, but I feel like I'm doing more work to get it, too. Tomato, tomatoe.

OneLastGambit

There is definitely more iso. I've got all the green ticks on every node (nearly in final sub ).

However as previously commented I'm having to boost all colours on every hard node after clear 5.

I've actually boosted more in this event than I have in my previous 312 days of play as normally I never boost.

simonsez

I would have to answer "a lot less" if you factor in that the excessive time commitment keeps making me forget to hit DDQ...

This is so wrong. If you hit your scores, just stop playing. We don't want it to be a grind fest. Most of us have things to do in real life. Why encourage someone who hogs more than 1300 points in pvp. I understand people try to put points back in with shields but the points put back with shields is absorbed back into the top players' scores anyway. But really, I see some of these top ranked guys at 2500 pts in pvp? Then the people under him is at like 1200. Where I am sitting at 600pts at top 50. It's ridiculous. It's like the game is pay and use line to win.

After earning 25cp on day five of the current seven day event I've downed tools.
The 7 day events are killing me, I still haven't recovered from the Winter soldier pve.

I know there is a ton of Iso-8 available in day six and seven of EOTS but I'm burned out for now.

Seven day events should be banned for health reasons.

Peace out

Mercalla

I'm coming up on 100k Iso for this event, and there is still a full day that I haven't touched yet. Ya, I think it's a great improvement.
