    I think I've come to the point of not worrying about what rank I hit tomorrow; whatever it is will be "free" ISO and I'll take whatever I can get.

    Much more interested in clearance levels and what that will mean for me.

    Getting quadruple-tapped (and counting) by a scum-sucking slimeball with OML and Phoenix both at 450+ was the trigger for my outburst.
    If someone quad-tapped you, you might want to try to find out what you did to piss him off...

    LOL.

    Most of the great people here will be 60-65, at least I wish them to be.
    For Me, I don't think I'll be level 65...

    I'm more like Level : "The KING" or Lv. 9,999... lol

    Why I like Charlie!!! Good look to you your Highness. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    922 days played (no longer counting),
    Zero champed 5*
    Zero champed 4*, but two are cover maxed, and I have most of them at at least one cover.
    All but five champed 3*, with the rest at least cover maxed.
    A rotating stable of champed 2's.

    Prediction? Probably Rank 19, because I've come to seriously manage my expectations for this game.

    921 days played
    Zero champed 5* (but Surfer max covered @ lvl 25x, OML @ 375 is only one leveled)
    14 champed 4*, excluding Spider Woman I'm short about 60 covers from cover maxing all.
    32/40 champed 3*, with the rest cover maxed.

    Prediction? Rank 44. Alliance mates think I'll be closer to 55, I have my doubts.

    Here's my question... if 65 is the highest level we can start at, does that mean the megawhales are getting screwed, or does it mean they start at 65, and the rest of us start at 30 or under, and we won't reach 65 until our roster looks like theirs?
    Well, I don't know how you are classifying MegaWhales.

    -My guess is the "Megawhales," which I am considering to only be about 10 people or so (people who -have one or more 550s... and multiple champ/max copies of all characters... we all know who they are mostly), will definitely be at 65.
    -Then I think the next tier of whales... those with all/almost all 4* maxed and one or two 5* around the 500 level will also be 65.
    -It's the next tier (the one I fall into) that I'm not sure about. People with most, but not all, of the 5* champed, but only ranging 450 - 475, and the majority, but not all, 3* and 4* champed. At first, I thought these wouldn't be lvl 65 because I was thinking only that top tier would be... but pretty much everyone seems more optimistic than me.

    But to answer your question... even if all the above groups and then some start out at level 65... I don't see the MegaWhales as being screwed, for a couple of reasons.

    First... if SHIELD rank becomes the new MMR (or a big part of MMR), then you probably don't want to be on a cloud all by yourself. It would actually be better to be in a category with a lot of other people.

    Second... 65 is the max starting level. It's not like they are going to stop whaling... they will quickly move ahead of the rest of the pack anyway.

    I really hope you get a 60-65 rank, all the other super whales should also get a 65, with two champed 5s I should be 50-55. As you said whales will level faster than any of us, so this level is alright for them too, it is just the starting level and in the end when clearance goes live we should all of us be playing for 5 rewards.

    I don't really care what my rank is, but if I am not in a rank where my rewards are 5s when Clearance Level goes online I will be seriously pissed ( I already have to champed 5s, so more 5s is what I need now ).

    2 decent covered 5s, but only my 10-cover OML leveled to 405. SS at 11 covers. all the rest 1-5 covers
    10 4* champs. most completely covered.
    36 3* champs and counting.
    7 2* champs and counting.

    maybe in the 50s? not really sure. the iso dump will help finish my 2s and 3s faster. depending on how big it is, maybe a lot faster. around 900K to finish that project (have 136K saved). then onto quake and pun and beyond.

    What time do the updates usually show up on the app store? I feel like I will explode with anticipation.

    It's live on Steam. I'm rank 65.

    867k iso. No other claims.

    867k.
    That's 2 4*s. That number HAS to be deliberate lol.

    That's a pretty hefty ISO injection, nice.

    That's level 65? No offense, but if you're level 65, then so are a whole lot of other people. I would have thought that the beginning would have been stratified a little more.

    I have 2 cover-maxed 5*s, with 1 champed, 15 champed 4*s with another 15 cover-maxed and all 40 champed 3*s. I guess I'll be level 65 too.

    That ISO looks pretty nice. That will be enough to bring most of my 5*s to their soft caps and champ Surfer.

    2.37 4* really.

    It's pretty nice, but kinda surprised there's no HP/CP.

    I got to rank 65 as well. Bumped Jean Grey, Ice Man, Thing, Carnage and Kingpin up as high as I could get them and have about 167k left. Just gotta be lucky with covers now.

    As for being surprised at the apparent low tier of entry to 65, you need to remember the sky's the limit. 65 isn't the top rank, so there's still plenty to earn as you go. If 65 was locked off to only those with a champed 5*, a full roster of champed 4*s and so on, it would be a slow and painful ascent to get anywhere, making the feature feel useless.

    Pretty sure they said the shield rank is just ISO rewards...but in the second part of this big update they are adding an extra feature that gives out those kinds of rewards but no ISO.

    How much XP did you gain towards your rank?

    I got 20XP for championing XForce, and 100 from leveling from 232 to 270.

    62 - 782k iso.

    Day 674 - been casual since championing so no useable 5* (18 covers but they're all spread out). Half dozen maxed 4's.

    I'm level 52, and I would have been happy with even 1/10th of the ISO I received. Wow!

    Overall level possible 1290 out of 4950 26%

    Actual rank = 41
    Actual ISO = 309,500

    I'm very happy with that. I currently have 4 13 covered 3*s about to lose covers and 87k on my account. This won't get me all of them, but it will certainly save me some. It was more than expected to get for sure.
