Hey, as some of you know, i made a poll about SCL 9 and Venom Bomb event here: https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/67754/scl-8-versus-9/p1

Now we have Unstable ISO-8 event and i would like to make similar test again:

Vote what Clearance Level did you chose for this event and keep in mind that poll options are now more complex (to reflect potential opinion shift, since Venom Bomb was a testing round for all of us).

Thanks for participating :-)

    I'm going to stick with 9 even though the 5* node is too difficult for me to beat 7 times. I think the rewards are still good enough that I can hit t100 and be fine.

    First post from me again:
    In this time i chose SCL 7, since SCL 9 was too difficult in some parts (5* node) and the amount of time spent was not reflected by the additional rewards.
    I guess i spent like 50% more time in this even for what? Few CPs and ISO? 
    As long as mission (aka Node) rewards remains the same for SCL7,8 and 9 (except for 5* mission), i am staying at SCL 7.
    MAYBE after i get my first 5* promoted, i will reconsider this, but so far... nope :/

    Anyway, thanks for participating on poll (especially if you also participated on the previous one) - maybe results will show that SCL 9 is actually attractive for important part of playerbase...

    Cheers :-)

    7 because I will be working, 8 when I'm off work.

    I'll just wait for a 5* I actually have to come up before trying SCL 9. Pretty sure I won't stay there past said trial.

    SCL 8, as always.  My 5* aren't levelled enough to be useful.  My 5* for these two events aren't even covered enough to be useful.  The 5* essential in SCL 8 of Venom Bomb is bad enough in what is pretty much 2 against 3.  I don't want to try opponents 100+ levels higher.

    I did 7 and will likely continue to for the next while.

    I had been doing SCL7 for some time, then recently (about 3 or 4 events ago) I switch to 8.  I usually have a narrow window of 30-60 minutes to get 4 optimal clears before life gets in the say.  I finally got a point where I could hit that for 8.  However, the 5* node changes that.  Even though I don't have 5pidey (only 3 I don't have are the current latest) I'm opting to return back to 7.  There's not enough incentive to move up any higher than that.

    I actually had to drop down to SCL 6, since I don't have the 5*, and without that node, I can't get t50, which kills my HP income.

    I do have at least one cover for about 2/3 of them, so I shouldn't have to do it every time, but it's definitely going to slow down my 3*-4* transition.

    scl8 and i regret it, my teams arent bad but the added 55-105 levels from the old max of 350(which i believe was the old max?) is killing me.

    I chose cl7, after playing cl9 in venom bomb. I want to see what the difference in rewards would be for casual play (clearing only for CP and event tokens in subs - progression 4* and CP). I'm also interested to see if the 5* req give the same amount of CP in 7 as they did in 9 (in 9 you get 3 CP for the second clear). 

    I usually played in 8 before cl9

    Haven't joined yet, but I might hop in SCL 9. Spidey & DD are the only 5* characters I don't have rostered. Since I can't hit the 5* node, placement is out of the question, so I may as well see what SCL9 is like and snag any extra progression rewards I can. Besides, this way I won't have to worry about timing for clears.

    CL5.

    CL9 is too hard
    CL8 is fine but pointless because of lousy rewards
    CL7 is fine, but now impossible to even go for placement

    So I went to cl5, where I can clear quickly with 3* Thanos and steal rewards from weaker rosters. It's not even that easy, since there are plenty of ppl in top10 with 4* champs.

    Nice improvements.

    Same thing here. Don't have the 5* essential so this is the best time to try out "regular" SCL9 scaling.

    Haven't decided yet, but since I have plenty of time to grind due to being home sick and placement is probably out the window anyway since I don't have Peter Parker I am leaning towards SCL9 again since the progression rewards are better.
    I might try to ind a slow bracket to increase my chances of decent placement though.

    Just for giggles, I checked the rosters of the T10 leaders in my SCL8 slice for Venom Bomb.  I finished just outside T10 (even though I had the Star-Lord essential and played the node, albeit only 4 times), and was literally the only roster that did not have any levelled or champed 5* characters (also, most of the 4* characters were in the 300+ range, compared to my paltry level 280s).  So basically, there is no wee kitten way in small felines that I'm playing SCL9.

    New comics day on Marvel Unlimited, a couple new games on Xbox 1, RiRi as progression...I need the quickest clears possible in this event.

    The original announcement stated 3 CP in CL9, 2 CP in CL8, and 1 CP in CL7.

    I did 7 for Venom Bomb and will do it again. Riri progression cover and hopefully will snag a top 10 spot for a Mockingbird cover.

    I have chosen CL7 while I save up 1,000,000 ISO (currently at 580,000) to bring 5* Thanos, Black Panther and Hawk Eye all up from level 360 to champ in one hit so I can try out CL8.

    I have every 5* rostered, but a few only have 2 or 3 covers, so I may still have to drop down to CL7 from time to time once I have the first three 5*s champed.

    I guess that means their plan to encourage folks to roster and level the 5* tier has worked for at least one person.

    Normally in 7, tried 9 for Venom Bomb - it just took too much time.
    I'm giving 8 a shot this time around, to see how long the clears take, before I decide if I'm going back to 7 or not.

    I have found my sweet spot in 8 and I plan on staying. I have a nice 4* roster but have not leveled any 5*s yet.
