You cannot reread the story or even replay a mission for no reward.If it could be reset for an hp cost and have a slight increase in difficulty and rewards. The difficulty could eventually escalate to a point where high level 5* characters would struggle to win. It could be played at a players pace with no timers or competition with others. If this is not doable maybe just make the prologue tab go poof once you clear all the rewards. It's literally a dead space in the game once you earn the rewards.

This meant you never had to use health packs.It was much worse when ALL healing was "True Healing". You could take 2 badly hurt covers and OBW and heal them back to full. Now it's limited to the "True Healers", but it's still there.

Now it's limited to the "True Healers", but it's still there. There is still a workaround there. They ban or limit characters in events all the time. They can impose limits on every run other than the first run through. With only so many "True Healers," it wouldn't be much of a disadvantage to experienced players. Furthermore, those limitations can be treated like part of the level difficulty. For beginner players, the prologue is played as is. For those going through a second time, they must do so with reward changes and limitations on characters. The third time through, the rewards are further modified and possibly more limitations on characters are implimented. With the addition of A.I.M., they have plenty of opportunities to provide different experiences and challenges for players. I imagine they will continue to add minions from the marvel-verse in the future to keep things spicy.They also have the option of releasing or enabling higher prologue levels with higher player (S.H.E.I.L.D.) rank. That can provide another incentive for players to strive for a higher rank. "Congratulations! You have earned rank ___. For ___ hero points you can now unlock the next level of the MPQ prologue."I'd go for that.

The problem with the Prologue was never rewards, well, it was for little bit when you got 5 ISO for a win if you had all the node rewards already and players would farm the first node for hours on end because they could beat the node in a single match and never take damage. The problem was that people could skip the "healing countdown timers" and just play PvP constantly by healing their chars. They weren't limited by health packs or HP or roster size.I do like your suggestions in the 3rd paragraph, though. Give us something else (worthwhile?) to spend out HP on. Packs are generally worthless, I don't PvP, so shields aren't a thing. I sit on 12k-15k of HP at any given time. Might be nice to use it to open up the Prologue at a higher difficulty.
