No Double Iso-8 in Lightning Rounds *Updated (10/17/17)

How much do we have to play them to get this fancy bonus? Like, grind seeds on every available one or just play a single match? Or somewhere in between?

Funny, they can change a 25% token pull rate to 15% in no time but cant change this...hmmm....4

Hi Everyone -
As you may have seen, the Lightning Rounds that started today do not have double iso-8. The team is very sorry as we intended to offer double iso-8 but were unable to make the changes in time to offer it in the Lightning Rounds. We will send out a gift to each player next week that beat seed teams in the Lightning Rounds.
We hope that everyone is continuing to enjoy the Anniversary!
I fixed it cause that's all I'll will be doing.
I don't understand how LR can be forgotten every Anniversary.0 -

Do you have to sacrifice a goat for each double ISO event and couldn't find another one in time?1 -
thedarkphoenix said:Someone school me on LR iso farming? I'm not seeing how its such a good way to gain isoWhen I've had the time to do it, I can easily pull in an extra 10k/day between the win bonus, the piddling progression rewards, and sale of cover rewards and covers from standard token pulls.0

How about 1k iso per LR round played this week?
Of course, that's still too low. 2k per?
How much iso do you think you could ha e farmed if the LRs we're actually double? We need a poll!0 -
I call shenanigans on this. How long have they had to get this done? A whole year, that’s how long. Anniversary is not a surprise, the date doesn’t move. It’s not based on the full moon or anything like that. If they said ‘we forgot’ or similar i’d be fine with it but ‘not enough time’... that’s ****, pure and simple.
I’ve been around long enough to remember the first anniversary. LRs got messed up then so they gave us the amazing 20 person LRs that rained tokens. It was exactly the kind of thing that makes players feel good towards a game. I also remember last anniversary when LEs didn’t award double ISO - evidently they learned nothing from that- where we got crummy compensation. I really hope they do the right thing and wheel out the 20 person LRs again but it’s pretty clear which direction the wind is blowing these days.4 -
Hey on the up side folks the "no skip" bonus is still double. So we still get 60 ISO instead of 30 ISO bonus for each seed team we beat. Win.....2

I'd be more forgiving if the exact same thing didn't happen last year, too.

Chalk up another tick in the incompetence/laziness/procrastination side of the scoreboard for the pros at d3
I'm surprised only a handful of people have decided to write this off as 'no big deal', 'thanks for the communication', 'they were trying their hardest'.

they are listening?
oh, and testing. a lot, obviously.0 -
I'm sure the devs are good folks. Just messed this one up... again.
It's not like anyone here hasn't gone back and made the same mistake twice. Remember that old girlfriend/boyfriend that you used to have. And there were at least 10 good reasons you broke up with them. But the all of the sudden, early one morning, you're wondering how you ended up in their bed again...
Now for all all you drunk people reading the forum, don't go getting the urge to text that ex for a booty call..... until you had at least another beer or two

Still don't see the value in lightning rounds as far as time vs. rewards are concerned. When I do play, I play to 300+ points, and that's been enough for a 2 Heroics every time (t50). That's great when I just want to spam heroics until I get a 4-star, but IMO not worth the health packs and HP spent to get there.
The seed teams go fast obviously, but then I need 2-3 additional matches to get over 300. That still leaves me with over an hour left, so I have to either drop 200 HP for a 1 hour shield, or 100HP for a 30 min shield. In both cases there is still time left after my shield drops, so I either have to drop another shield immediately, or play another match or 2 then shield out. After the seed teams you start facing teams that are the real deal, so the matches take longer and drain more of your health. So on top of dropping HP and health packs, you've also gotta worry about getting picked of by 5-star rosters in the final minutes. After all this? 500 iso if I made t50. And I'm supposed to want to do EVERY single one of these every other hour for the ISO? Yeah, no. To those that say it's worth the iso, don't get it. To those that say it's worth it for as "little time" as you spend? Don't get it.
I was willing to put my skepticism aside for anniversary and go for the double iso, since that DID make me feel it'd be worth it this time around, but alas. Will probably do just one for the sake of getting this compensation reward.0 -
