Known Issue: Early Champion Rewards for Ascended Characters

Looks like everyone just got the entire ascended rewards given out again regardless of whether you got them the first time or not.

I was one of those who ascended early enough to get the crazy double and triple rewards so I wasn't expecting to get anything. But I had 300+ rewards waiting for me this morning including 40+ LTs, hundreds of CPs and HP's despite the fact I hadn't ascended a single character since that first day.

People with really advanced rosters like EB are going to get another massive haul.

No, those rewards today were from the levels you added to your ascended characters since the bug.
You know, those first 30+ levels on 5s that were all ISO.
...I think.

I hope the rewards were only for levels added after they nerfed the rewards, otherwise the rich just got richer

I'm not sure how much I was supposed to get, but I got like 150 LTs and 3000 CP.

I have put a TON of levels on ascended characters though.

There is no way I've earned 300+ rewards in the past couple of weeks. I haven't opened more than a handful of tokens (4 when needed for daily quest and those were all LTs to finish the current 5*s) plus a few covers earned via PvP rewards and a few from the anniversary vault. But no where near 300 worth as I doubt I've gotten 100 in total across all characters, much less ascended ones.

Plus I don't have a single ascended 4*. I only ascended 1s 2s and 3s. The rewards I got seem to be in line with what I should have originally gotten on day 1 (40 LTs vs the 100ish I ended up getting on day 1 when I took advantage of the bug). I think they just blanket awarded everything again to everyone regardless of whether you already got it before or not which means some of us got like triple or quadruple rewards.

I ascended before the glitch (so I got the benefits) and did not ascend anyone after the glitch… and this morning I received a ton of champ rewards. I counted the number of LTs I received and they matched the “updated” reward tree for those I ascended and had already received.

So yea, the rich did get richer. It appears they gave everyone the retro rewards, regardless of if you took advantage of the glitch or not.

Markot

I checked the number of obtained retro rewards LTs and it is exactly the same as all levels giving LT on all my ascended characters together. It means, regardles when those level were obtained, whether during glitch or after.
Already, when all rewards were temporarily changed to iso and retro promised, I wrote to our alliance line chat, that I doubt they will be able to keep track of time when levels on ascended characters were obtained. And now it was confirmed by giving retro for all levels.

Huh, new version of the App dropped and now Black Widow (Original) can be ascended....but she still only offers the Temp ISO rewards.

No surprise that the deadline for pushing the ascension rewards fix was the next batch of ascendable characters.

A bit odd that it's only 1 character so far. That seems likely to be a big. Either OBW became ascendable too early, or she should have been available for ascension earlier and was left out by mistake. Her purple in 5* land is intriguing. As is her black passive with someone like Wong or polaris. She was certainly a dominant character when 2* land was meta. But that was a decade ago, so I am curious to see if she can still carry her own weight in the modern end-game environment.

I can't remember, but I think OBW passive is not boosted by Okoye/Apocalypse/etc. I think it was one of the ones specifically carved out for no good reason.

Altair22

yah I find it strange OBW was the only character ascendable...ascended mine to 177 lvl. 3 stars. I think there will be more this week this is just a taste.

Hammer3001

If they follow the pattern of last month, it should be a release this week.

That sounds right. Her bonus damage must be coded like black panther's black (not boosted by okoye etc) and not like DD's purple (is boosted by okoye). That will limit her her utility to strike tiles. But played with Wong or, eventually, 5* r&g + nico and, assuming she can tank at least 2 of her colors, she could be pretty nasty.

I wonder if they are testing the waters to see if whatever patch they put in to fix the rewards actually works. Rather than risk giving people a bunch of glitched three star and four star rewards again, just test with a single two star.

Maybe, though OBW is an odd choice. Since she is one of the more powerful 2*s. I would expect someone like bullseye or moonstone to be used for testing purposes.

It’s not about power. It’s about whether the rewards are still glitched. Power doesn’t matter because she was probably in the next batch anyway (rest of the avengers).

It's about power only insofar as weak characters are lower stakes if there are any mistakes. Who cares if everyone ends up with a max-level ascended 2* cap or moonstone. they suck and won't affect gameplay at all. That's not terribly important here since the likely bugs are rewards-related rather than levels/power-strength related, but still the kind of thing I would like to think the devs keep in mind when experimenting with new systems.

On the other hand, more powerful characters tend to be present on more rosters, so they may be better choices for testing since they will produce more data. And I would assume that OBW is one of if not the most rostered 2* in the game.

Just received the corrected rewards for the ascended 2 star BW to 3 stars. hmmmm might be issues with the rewards that is why they are not doing the batch 2 release yet. but I suspect this week or next in a surprise 2nd batch release. I also think in the future, there will be ascended champion feeder rewards. Like for example a base 3 star ascended to 4 star magneto should have the magneto 5 star as a feeder champion reward.

Oh, that's what those were?

1 legendary token and CPs.

Bowgentle

Well, depending on how high you got her.
I got 25 rewards, including 2 LTs.
