I am still debating if I will be able to go after gamora or if my weekend plans are going to get in the way so it would be nice if I could at least get some bonuses playing PVE today.

(Atleast for me) No, im not one of those guys who puts thousands into the game but at what point is the game paid for? A ps4 game cost around $60 bucks and it's yours. This game costs ??? How much and it's yours?

Having completed a couple of runs on Hearts of Darkness, I have got quite a few Heroic tokens so it seems we wont miss out on those. I made my runs before I got the in-game warning of no more intercepts. Which I also got some, but all the tokens I got from the PVE itself were normal tokens...

How much and it's yours? How many times do you have to see a movie in theaters before they hand you your free DVD?You're not paying for a product, you're paying for a service.
This is completely off-topic, as well as completely anecdotal, but given the number of times I have walked out following a movie and thought "I can't wait until that comes out on disc!" only to not buy it when it does, I sometimes think studios would make more money off of me if I could buy a copy on my way out of the theater.

I got 3 Heroic tokens and 1 Elite.
Warbringa said: Here is the thing, if you aren't generating revenue for a business, you won't get the service you think you deserve. That is how business works, I see it every day at work. I understood this in this particular game as I have been a F2P player for quite a while now. As a for profit business, they are going to do everything they can to favor paying customers and attempt to get non-paying customers to generate revenue. Their biggest issue has always been the rewards you purchase for money are not worth what you actually receive in the game for rewards. This is the first time I actually believe that the rewards (significant iso and potential tokens/CP) are worth the price in money ($2/mo.) This is actually a very good move from a business stand point and while it hurts F2P players, you can't fault them for trying to increase business. In addition, this change relieves certain issues with the game that intercepts under the current format had provided (see many different posts earlier in the thread). If they can't maintain revenue the game dies anyway and no one gets to play it.
My only questions are from a completely selfish standpoint:
150k ISO over 30 days amounts to 3000 ISO per day... I wasn't keeping track but I believe I was taking in well over 3000 ISO per day via intercepts. Similar question about the 10HP per day... seems like a decrease.
How much of a decrease is the compared to intercepts (weighted average, unfortunately I don't know the distribution on what bonuses were available via intercept) ?
Will the occasional bonuses given to supporters bridge the gap in ISO and HP and the only difference now is that you have to pay to get all the rewards ?
The answers likely depend on specific figures we wont ever see, I'm just curious... not sure to be happy or not yet.

In fact aside from top tier PVP playing 5* aren't required in the game anywhere.as for 4*, those are only needed for a single node that nets you 2CP and lets you get the points to get an extra taco. That isn't changing with this.the only thing required is a bunch of 3* so you can get the rewards every day (beyond the single 1 star and 2-3 2* you need to do the first 3 nodes)I highly suggest that you go take a look at DDQ again as if that is your understanding of DDQ you are clearly missing out on a ton of rewards each day.
zulux21 said:I mean really, why wouldn't you guys just wait for the update in general to roll this out to all users at once instead of misleading people and making steam (and amazon) users feel second class again?
I wonder how many people (like myself) didn't know for 1.99 you could not watch those atrocious ads for 28 days and still get the rewards? They should have trumpeted that louder. To me the time savings is definitely worth 1.99 a month, I'd have done it sooner.
