    Can you please complain more on this? Does "other active agents" meaning non-alliance members? They will contribute iso-8 to all alliances? That kinda sucks for those non-alliance memebrs. If thats the case, alliances get free iso-8 each day?
    I'm not sure you intended to use the word complain there, but it kind of fits and made me chuckle.

    In almost every f2p game ever, the more social you are, the more benefits there are. Why should this game be any different?

    Its really a free to try game. you can't get far without paying at least once. But that's a pretty popular excuse. inb4ihaveallButPay4NothingGuy

    On topic: How much daily iso is this going to be?
    Given MPQs approach thus far i'm guessing something like 20-50 iso per day.

    To me, this reads as "members of an alliance receive an ISO-8 stipend based upon the number of active players in the alliance each day."
    This would mean: 1) Larger alliances yield higher stipends 2) Everyone in the alliance has to play every day to receive the maximum stipend for an alliance's size

    Is this the correct interpretation, IceIX?

    This all sounds pretty good to me. Event/Heroic tokens only ever turn into C.Storm or M.Hawkeye for me, so no change there. Looking forward to daily alliance incentives.

    Man with this alliance extra iso and the upcoming monthly progression / rewards. It is sounding really good! I am thinking they are maybe buttering us up for the spidey nerf... icon_eek.gif

    I can definitely understand that and I can see where that would be a major pain for CS to deal with. Still, maybe something could be implemented (eventually) to allow the conversion of event tokens to heroic tokens?

    Two things come to mind. An expiration similar to the covers where the event token would revert to a heroic. Or the option to keep the token as is or change it to a heroic at the end of the event.

    I read this as meaning that the numbers of players NOT in an alliance will be used to create a fund of ISO which will then be spread out to players who ARE in an alliance, if this is the case I would expect the daily reward to be fluid depending on numbers of active players that day. Seeing as they said this is meant to be an incentive to get players to join an alliance this is what i took it to mean. Some clarification is definitely needed.

    Hope you are right.. i'd rather understand that non-alliance players will give alliance members a "tribute" to force them to join an alliance. maybe i misunderstood, after all, i'm french.. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Alliance members will contribute to their own alliance and that alliance will get those rewards for their own active players is how I read that.
    Everything else doesn't make much sense to me (why would I get rewards for the efforts of someone not on my team?) but... there's a lot of things in the game now which don't make much sense to me.

    Remember when alliances were just being touted as a social feature and absolutely, definitely wouldn't be conferring huge gameplay advantages to people?

    Everyone who said otherwise was told to wait and see, jumping the gun, feature wasn't even built etc. Well here we are.

    I'm sure there are Android phones with similar low specs as compared to a 3.5-year-old iPhone. icon_rolleyes.gif

    IceIX,

    Can we please have some more information on the mechanics of the ISO8 sharing? Is it related to the size of the alliance? So far most alliance features/rewards are heavily weighted towards the larger alliances. Do you have any more information on planned alliance features (i.e. are you wasting your time being part of a smaller alliance)?

    Thanks

    My guess is, (at least I am hoping), that the alliance iso sharing is just the usual rhetoric and lore building kind of announcement we are used to by now (like how BW fixed something). I would not take it word by word.

    But this is teasing and not useful information. Please share exact plan (even if subject to change) because guessing will not lead to useful feedback.

    So please clarify how this will work.

    Thanks

      - A new type of Daily Reward has been implemented as a way to entice Agents to join Alliances. Each day, other active Agents will contribute Iso-8 to a fund that will be delivered to Alliance members

    I am slightly confused on this. Is this a way to trade iso between members? Is it a second daily reward that turns donations into iso?

    As I understood it:
    Each Alliance member will contribute to a fund. For example every member that logs in and plays a round will raise the fund by X Iso.
    After a day this fund is distributed between the Alliance members. So to speak a second daily reward that turns Alliance activity into Iso.

    I read it as "players who aren't in an alliance will be forced to pay X amount of ISO per day, which will be distributed amongst players who are in an an alliance". Which, to be honest, sounds a bit **** - a daily "non-alliance tax"?

    Please clarify. I'm in an alliance myself but if my interpretation is right, then that's a terrible feature, on a par with the PVP skip tax.
