We’d like to announce and confirm what some eagle-eyed players have already begun noticing – 20 Iso-8 mission rewards are going away. We hope this much-requested change is one you will enjoy.
Demiurge Quote:
“We’ve removed the 20 Iso-8 mission rewards from all missions. Now, when you complete a mission, you’ll earn each mission reward randomly until you’ve earned all of them. We’ve upped the number of mission rewards to 7, and included more 100 Iso-8 rewards.
We’ve also made this change in the Prologue chapters, and added more Iso-8 prizes to existing missions. We recommend heading back there and taking on Ragnarok again
These changes are live in the current Gauntlet event, and will be in full effect during the Venom Heroic event beginning Monday, February 8th, as well as all future Story events.”
Are you considering improving the rewards structure for wave nodes as well? Even though it now seems guaranteed to get a prize from the pool when you fight though all the waves, I’ve always found the rewards disappointing because only the first time you fight through it you will get rewards per wave.
my prologue hasn’t changed. any idea when that change hits? thanks again. this is incredibly great news here during the pvp iso drop issues. any update to the versus issues? thanks again - this is great news.
also - the cp nodes on the gauntlet have 2 items, will the cp nodes in normal pves also be limited to 2 items? I’d be ok with 2-4 items there.
My only concern with the changes will be how they play out in subs that last 48 hours. I get the feeling that plenty of players will be grinding nodes for no rewards for quite a while.
It might be worth giving those nodes more clear options.
Then again this is only a ‘problem’ facing the small minority of players who’ll be grinding those subs for top 20 rewards. This is definitely a nitpick suggestion. I absolutely love the changes as implemented.
First off…Thank you for finally changing this. Couple questions. When will prologue rewards go live? Monday? Also, any consideration to changing 48 hour subs to extra rewards? Finally, it’s possible to do 9 clears in a 24 hour sub before you get to 1 pt at the end. Any thought to upping to 9? Just curious, very happy as it is.
Grinding the 48-hour sub down to 1 will involve grinding each node 12 times. Once every 8 hours (6 times total) and then a final grind of 6 times, for a total of 12 victories. With 7 total reward nodes, that’s 5 empty wins.
Under the old system, with 4 rewards, you’d get at most, those 4 rewards, plus at least 8 20-ISO rewards. Assuming that the three added rewards are worth at least 160 ISO, you’ll come out on top under the new system every single time, even under the worst-case scenario of a 48-hour sub fully ground down. In every other situation, you’ll end up even better off.
