Dev1: Bamboo Shoots under the fingernails?
Dev2: Nah, can’t be done virtually.
Dev1: Hmm, let’s see, we have balanced PVP to the point where no one likes it, that means it is working… so that is good.
Dev2: evil laugh
Dev1: We could introduce a new tournament type where all the fights, even the beginning level ones spike up in level to be 230, so that every long drawn out fight that gives 20 iso is even more soul crushing.
Dev2: Whoah! Even I am not that evil…
Dev1: evil laugh
Dev2: evil laugh
FADE TO SMOKING HIDDEN VOLCANO LAIR: evil laughs can be heard echoing from miles away…
Really…
you play pve missions for the fight rewards because I find that unbeliveable, you play the mission for the points it tells you, the reward is a bonus you get on top of that, rarely is there a good reward from repeatable pve missions so you can’t really complain about the iso 20 when your repeating missions to the point they are level 230 fights, 2nd replay yes, but not after clearing out the majority of the rewards already.
Once you complete all of the PVE missions on the Thick as Thieves they get harder in difficulty the more you do them. I have been leading my group in the #1 spot for the last 2 subs, When Scotland Yard opened up, even the first Scotland Yard I mission is all level 230, and all 9 missions have to be done 2x, which is a mighty slog.
When I wrote this, I just finished replaying a mission with these 230 goons who cascade wiped my team out the first time I played them, and when I revived everyone and finally beat them (using boosts of course) I got my 20 ISO reward.
I know it has been said before, but forcing us to use boosts on the PVE content that used to give us lots of ISO is disappointing. At this point I have every cover (minus a couple of the 4* covers) in the game and just need ISO to level up my toons, but in order to beat full 230 teams you have to boost to save your sanity.
I find it very annoying when i play a 240 level several times and can only get one of the four rewards. All that work and iso spend on boosts to only get 20 iso. My iso is going backwards not forward.
Ok, guys, I have a good one: let’s do all that, but not tell them any of it.
Also, keep an eye on that progress counter towards actually being able to score anything in the PvE event no one’s playing because they can’t beat the mission I mooks. I have the Patch bugfix and **Wolverine nerf ready to go live the instant Daredevil unlocks.
And, Bob, don’t forget to sub in Loki to the enemy team for the final 250pt mission that requires Bag-Man. Wouldn’t want people using Trickery there.
It’s hard to have team diversity when you can’t earn enough ISO to level up your 3 star covers to a respectable level …
It’s a pretty flawed system that I’m earning the same amount of ISO that a guy who just started last week is making. His needs for ISO are far different than a person with 25 covers, half of which are the 3 star variety.
