    That or the ability to lock out an opponent/opponent combination for an ISO fee. That is what everyone REALLY wants. No one wants to cycle through for a fee for for free they want to see something different. Maybe there are a limited number of locks per event or time limit but something that breaks the cycling.

    Before the skip tax, there was no reason to ever stop skipping. I imagine the skip tax takes some load off the servers.
    *shrug* your mileage may vary as Always though...

    It queues a "spent 5 iso" update to the DB, rather than just rotating you through a cached list.

    So skip tax actually increases message traffic to the servers, and one of the low-latency-required game state servers, too (anything involving spendable resources needs to be in the top-priority update lane...)

    I'd love the skip tax to stay at 5 ISO. But I'd also love a change where any match worth less than 40 points (or some other decent amount) was free to skip. I don't feel nearly as bad paying a skip tax against an opponent that I didn't want to try and take as opposed to paying it because the enemy was only worth 18 points.

    or maybe throw us a really big bone and make it give us 1 ISO every time we skip. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    We know folks will grind 1 point nodes to get better placement. Will folks just sit and click the skip button to gain 1 ISO at a time?
    They should do this as a joke on the howard the duck pvp in off season!

    This will get the offseason player numbers up as well!

    If the projected points are less than 38, no skip tax, 10 otherwise.

    I have not gotten down to skipping but the 60 iso is gone after today's push.
    Knowing the stinginess that goes on with this game, I bet the skip is back to 10.

    Oh no, not my 60iso bonus...
    Good thing I did some fights this morning to maximize it. Stupid me thinking that the 60iso bonus would be available all day.
