    Even the newest 5. Unimaginable before, a bundle chain with 4 1/2 covers total equivalent is up >on day 4 of being in game for $80.

    Think I missed this one. Which one gave 4.5 covers to a 5? If you mean the one with the 3 bundle chain, that does not give 4.5 covers of the 5*. But there might be another one that I missed.

    If that's your metric there can't be many forms of entertainment you are able to enjoy these days. Any sporting event (attending or playing like say a round of golf), movie, theater, bowling etc is way outside your price range. Even cable TV is going to be close given here in America it's typically 100 a month and you need to watch a minimum of 3.3 hrs a day to get your money worth (you can cord cut but if you buy Netflix etc those cost too and require a fair number of hours to break even when you factor in internet costs).

    I don't watch tv, I don't go to or watch movies, and I don't go to concerts. All the music I listen to is from the 70s-90s that I have on cd and ripped to usb drives. So no netflix, cable, bowling, theaters, or all the rest.

    I am in the gym every day, I play guitar every day, play some video games (besides MPQ), and spend time with my wife and dogs. That is aside from the 70 hours a week I put into my business.
    I literally don't have time for the things you listed.

    Bet the gym costs more than a dollar an hour. GOTEM

    Right now there’s a Jubix chain.

    Tier 1: 1 cover
    Tier 2: 1 cover plus 250 shards
    Tier 3: 1000 shards

    4 1/2 covers

    O.o
    I have a gym in my house.

    Actually a gym membership typically costs $1 a day (30 month) here in the US.

    Home equipment, especially good stuff costs a thousand dollars or more an item (ie 1K+ for an Elliptical and so on) so it takes a lot of use to get it down to 1 / hr (1000 hrs is approximately 3 years at 1 hr a day on just 1 piece of equipment).

    I wanna talk more about a gym. I'm paying $20 a week in Australia and that's considered very cheap.

    I too want to talk about Jims! Are we talking only Marvel Jims?

    What about underground Jims?

    Do Jimmys count too?

    Does anyone know when this goes live? I am saving my tokens etc. to use when it has the chance to be double or "canistered". Heh, canisturd.

    The new ISO-8 multiplier resources are live.

    Price wise it seems reasonable - wonder if we'll get them for playing

    Those canisters make the price for ISO in the shop (even more) ridiculous. Right now there's a canister with 115k ISO for €3.99 while 75k ISO in the shop is €41.99.

    Yay, another micrtransaction. If this is the best you can do, maybe it's time to scrap the idea and start listening to the players.

    Seriously...we ask you to review how cost of heroes has gone up versus how rewards have stayed the same since the beginning. Instead, you say pay us more for a pitiful haul of iso.

    I know this sounds like crazy talk, but what if instead of spending all that time writing code and creating artwork for Multipliers & Canisters, the devs just... lowered the prices in the existing store until players found them attractive and began buying them?

    Careful guys don't be too critical or the "don't like it - don't buy it" mob will get you

    As a long time player I have much more ISO than I need.
    How about a way to share/redistribute/spend that ISO again?
    Bring back 500iso standards :smiley:

    Except that buying the Multipliers and Canisters isn't buying iso, it's purchasing the opportunity to earn extra iso. If you buy either and don't do the work, then you get tiny kitty.

    Just got to keep it constructively critical, especially if one is in the "won't buy" crowd, but they could make changes to where one would become a buyer.

    Constructive in this place?, that train left long ago my friend
    Although I do still enjoy the "you're playing the game wrong" posts.
    I would happily keep that going for as long as I find it amusing, which if anyone knows the lunacy i write is far longer than the average man's tolerance.

    I have a hazy memory on an old dev comment that there are app store based restrictions on the main transaction offerings within an app. They are basically locked at the launch of an app, so the prices on the main ISO reflect a much different time in the game economics. That's why the main HP & ISO prices are basically static and have been forever.

    The dev needs to look at these alternate options as ways to offer the same resources at more comparable prices to the current game economics.

    If nobody buys these, they'll lower the price.
