(POLL) The NEW Max Level Up button

I like the ability to hold down the raise level button for quick successive level raising. How it was before wasn’t really a bother but it’s a nice add.

The new max button that will most of the time display the monetary cost of the iso required is not something that bothers me either. It doesn’t make me want to press it, ive played for 3 years so im aware of the cost of the iso and either way ill get the iso I need as some point as I progress daily through the game. Ill just ignore it.

The new button is the worst idea ever! How the hell should I know how much iso I need to max? I’m now in constant championing my 4*'s and I need to know that to get all needed ISO before cover expiration :confused:

the real question is who on the development team thought that a feature that doesn’t provide the information we need and only serves as a blatant sales pitch for an overpriced commodity would be perceived any other way?

bravo devs for showing our cynicism may be warranted

but thanks for your response Brigby

This button is obtrusive, in a terrible place. It replaces a useful button that told u how much you needed and it’s got to be false advertising! I read that if I spend $128 I can max my 4 star character, which in reality won’t even get me half way. I’m really embarrassed of the way this looks and it’s a disgrace

For those that need to know Iso costs:

I definitely hate it. There should be a button that maxes the character based on how much ISO you have. Don’t make it a “purchase ISO” button! Leave us alone with your endless desperate money grubbing icon_neutral.gif

We have already complained that there’s never enough ISO in the game. The solution is NOT forcing us to buy it, especially at such terrible prices.

I would straight up fall in love with a “get the highest level with the ISO you have” button, you can even put the sales pitch in there (“if you purchase this ISO pack you can level this character up another x levels” or similar). This feels like a step in the wrong direction but hopefully we won’t have to look at it for long.

You didn’t have to add the sad face. Now I feel bad! ;0;

Just echoing everything about this and want to emphasize a few parts.

The post before it as well.

You’re my new best friend.

Terrible - it isn’t informative in any way that’s actually helpful to a player. Also, I don’t like the functionality of the left-side “level up” button. It’s too sensitive now, and I found myself pumping ISO into the next level by accident. I’m one of those OCD-ish people who likes to raise characters a level, look at my ISO bank, and decide if I want to keep leveling that character or move on to another.

“change it back” isn’t a very good option either as the old button was actually more confusing IMO. If you had the iso, it just said what was needed, like now.

If you didn’t, it listed what iso you had PLUS the iso from a $100 purchase without stating it was including that, so it just gave you an inflated ISO cost that made no sense. At least with the change it is telling you it is including a purchase.

Both changes (level up button and max level) are slightly (extremely slightly) better than their original. I voted dislike, but I would rather see them change this to a mechanic that makes sense instead of revert to the old.

I’m guessing this is another example of no input from someone with a 4* roster. When you are more than 78000 iso away from max, this button is far worse than the old one, both in terms of information provided and upsell potential.

Hey everyone. I just contacted the development team this morning to start up a conversation regarding the ‘Max Level’ button you all have been giving feedback on.
I’ll be sure to follow up with any official news or updates when I get them.

Thanks Brigby. By way of context, you’re probably still in the early part of the game where you’re cover-constrained rather than ISO constrained, especially with the recent changes to the ISO flow in the game.

Eventually, though, it will swing back where ISO becomes the bottleneck. At that point, you’ll find yourself in a situation where you pull another cover for a character which is cover-maxed and specced the way you want them, but not champed. Now, you’re on the clock, because that cover will expire in 2 weeks. The more information you have about how much ISO you’ll need to earn to champ that character in time to be able to use that cover as a champ level, the better. It’s one of the more common questions that gets asked on LINE. “Do I have enough time to champ X character in Y days?”

The old way wasn’t ideal, and confused some people. However, the new way is even worse in some ways. Further obfuscating that information, especially when coupled with the cover expiration clock, can create unrealistic expectations on players and puts the burden on them to seek out outside sources of information.

I understand that there may be reasons why you may not want to put the total ISO needed right next to something that shows how much a portion of that ISO costs. ISO in this game is prohibitively expensive compared to ISO needs. But there are also downsides to not including that information, as people have pointed out. I don’t know what the best decision is from the developer point of view, weighing both those factors, but this is a little context from the player side.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to follow up with an update on what the development team said during our discussion:

We have heard the feedback about the changes to the “Level Jump” button and understand your concerns. We will be discussing what can be done in the coming days. We appreciate all the feedback we have received thus far.Thanks for being patient everyone!

Hate it. But, instead of back to what it was, how about:

Left side: Button to go up 1 level. (Why do we have partial levels?)
Right side: Button to max, showing entire ISO cost.

Anyone with a decent roster full stop…
I’ve got 3s that need more than 78k to level its not just 4s even on my 2 i am doing for my farm they need more iso than i have and i just get the vastly overpriced pay this amount button and it will just about level them think its about 65ish k total? but i know at least on my 3* the 80 quid package would not max em out let alone the 4*

78k for 79.99 is ridiculous, for the most part it just about levels up a 2*
Mother lode… more like a drop in the ocean, it will take a chunk of a 3* and be a surface dent on a 4* and prolly an insignificant spec on a 5*

When you think start to compare it to real world value it gets even more stupid, enough iso to level1 4* character of which there’s loads of would cost the same as a new console? get me a nice new top of the range graphics card for my pc? It’s kind of madness, no wonder you need to try and push it so hard, it literally has no value for money lol
