I do prologue nodes repeatedly into the 1000s. That’s one of the main reasons I was able to champion all 40 of my 3*s in 30 days. (And they were all at lvl 160 at the time, not 166, when the ability to champion began. That came out to 15,404 + 7500 ISO per character) After 7/7 rewards, I was hoping 20 ISO would take effect instead of nothing. Its a crucial way many players have been able to earn ISO and would be harmless to leave that feature in with the addition of the 7 rewards. I might be the only player to admit that this hurts.
UPDATE:
Having played through the prologue post change, I’d implore the developers to at least leave the nodes unlocked.
I use the prologue as a therapy tool for patients with Alzheimer’s, my dad included, and having them play a simple Prologue mission and receiving even a 20 ISO reward was intriguing and invigorating to them. The point that they could make progress toward something, (Yes they understand how progress is made by earning ISO to champion characters.) was helping them immensely. The prologue offered an easy, simple, “practice ground” area in the game that wouldn’t affect my main contests and would still result in the earning of a reward, albeit 20 ISO, that made them feel accomplished. Now, once these missions are completed, the prologue becomes an abandoned waste land. While I’m not bashing the change or being that one rotten apple in the basket that is just looking to complain–I’m merely pointing out how removing a seemingly useless feature in the game as a sacrifice for a new change, while both can co-exist, can negatively impact the game.
My point simply is–add the new reward system but still offer 20 ISO after 7/7 rewards are earned. And leave those prologue nodes unlocked.
Actually, you may be on to something here. I wonder if it would be possible for then to reset the prologue nodes one or more during the year for any players over X number of days.
Perhaps, during anniversary, reset for any players with 365+ log in days. Just a coincidence that it would be in time for double iso;)
