Yep…there is a secondary reason that I wanted numbers for this poll…I’m curious and interested, but certainly it shows the game resource need has shifted dramatically. I’m also running PVE right away for the ISO, and not caring about the cover.
I think it’s kind of like the “how much would you pay for a fully covered 4*” thread…while 4*'s covers are a problem for awhile for many players (you won’t have fully covered new 4*'s for quite some time) - it is the ISO that eventually will be your bottle-kneck.
Hopefully what D3 sees is the demand for the 4* covers is low while the need is very high - and they start doing what they should, 4*'s should have been released everywhere 3*'s are months ago, and that change needs to be done immediately.
The (conservative) number I keep in my head as to how many ISO I might earn in a day is about 5k. Even if I do nothing but DDQ, that’s pretty close. So for comparison purposes, let’s say the hypothetical 4* purchase would cost 18,000 ISO.
You can currently buy a specific 4* cover (if you have one to start with) for 120 command points. A non-specific 4* or better is only 20 command points.
Raising one of my remaining 3s to champion from 150 will also net me a non-specific 4 or better, and is going to cost me about 45,000 iso.
My current 4s with a significant chance of beating crash of the titans are Invisible Woman, X-Force Wolvie, and Elektra, with Ant-Man and Thor being more remote possibilities. I would very much like to get my roster to the point I can win Crash of the Titans on a semi-regular basis. I think this is likely to happen when my championed 3s start hitting 183, but would I speed this up by buying covers at 18k ISO? Sure I would.
Where you are in the transition process is going to influence your answer to this poll a lot. I just don’t have many 4s I can dump ISO into, and I’m currently using every drop of ISO to champion my remaining 3s, in hopes of getting legendary tokens and 4* covers that way.
