Offseason + Prologue = ANSWERS TO OUR PRAYERS

Well maybe not to that extreme, but considering that the offseason PVPs and PVEs might not appeal to everyone, maybe the game could regularly reset the rewards of the prologue so that we can farm rewards once a month? After all, every so often I notice rewards that I still can earn from nodes that I had thought I'd finished beating before, so presumably that reward reset mechanic exists already.

And one question: the boost rewards -- I assume that they've been updated to be the current boosts, not the retired ones?

    It would be nice to have any sort of "do at your own pace" story that resets or changes after a month. I left some of the prologue undone and it's relaxing to do a few of those when I'm frustrated by Story mode scaling and frozen out of doing anything meaningful with Versus.

    I would love prologue to reset once a month, that's a great idea.

    Would we get through it once a month? Or are we just asking for a mountain climb of grind to make optimum farming rewards here? O.o

    I would think a "by choice" button to electively reset prologue would be an excellent idea. But for someone who is still on their first run through don't automatically make them start over. Only let the button be clicked once per 'season'.

    This is a terrific idea.

    Season lock seems a better idea than a headlong rush per month icon_e_smile.gif

    Maybe at the very end of the prologue, there can be a level that states "Warning: Completing this level will restart the prologue from the beginning! Go through this warp hole at your own risk!!!"

    And the level is only available at most once per month, so once you do it, it's no longer available until a month from then.

    It would still push maniacs like me to hammer it once a month.

    Tying it into the Seasons is more humane :p

    Something that can be casually played other than DDQ every day would be great. There are many times where I'm either waiting for a PvE grind and don't want to enter into a PvP or would like a chance to use lesser used characters/teams on my roster that don't get as much play.

    Referring to prologue as a "mountain climb of grind" should be grounds for a suspension...

    A reset Prologue represents 313 clears to finish.

    The resources it now represents is pretty damn good (Champion levels, decent iso8, reliable influx of boosts).

    Would you want to do it each and every month alongside normal play?

    You're definitely adding to the amount of time needed. That's assuming there's no scaling implemented to speed bump bigger players.

    I like the idea, but feel monthly would be a little rough O.o

    And if you could farm the prologue for resources you wouldn't have to buy the same resources using iso, hp or cash or credit through Google play, iTunes or Steam.

    My suggestion a time ago was to add something to VIP that resets the prologue. This option would make it buyable for me perhaps.

    If it gives me somewhere to play around with some of the (many) 4* characters I currently have who are sitting useless with just one cover, I'm all for unlocking the prologue! Yay for trying out new teams!! Finally, a bit of variety away from Phoenix+OML+'featured', where the first 2 outpower the third so much that he/she never gets a look in.

    [Note to devs: if oversupply of ISO is a worry then just don't give out any rewards. I genuinely won't care. It's not about the grind, I just want to experiment to see which characters work best with each other, without waiting for a random Heroic to force me into it before I'm ready].

    Off season is not normal play. The PvPs are generally garbage events I want no part of.

    And given that most of the prologue nodes are so trivial, I could put my phone in my back pocket and butt-clear most of them, yes, I'd love to have another ISO option.

    If this ever happened, itd probably scale to your roster, but same rewards. Have fun with that!
