Bugs/Glitches (features?) of Champions 2.0

Hello fellow Beta Testers!

I was wondering if it would be possible to list all of the bugs that we’ve seen with the rollout of 2.0 and collect them in one place. I’ll continue to update this OP so it’s all in one place for the developers.

  1. Ascending with a character that has extra levels results in extra retro rewards (currently being patched, iso rewards being used as a placeholder)
  2. Complete ascended characters on the vine are being absorbed by the same character of a lower tier when applying covers (this is being patched as well).
  3. There have been reports of boosts only applying to some versions of ascended characters but not all.
  4. Similarly, there have been reports that characters stats are different when you click on them in game, from when you select them out of the game.
  5. Higher level ascended versions of characters are doing less damage than the same characters in lower tiers.
  6. There have been reports of scaling that seems out of wack in both directions in general.

For 3-6 it would be helpful if people had actual examples, which I’ve seen but just don’t remember. I think this is an… ambitious feature. But I’d like them to be on top of fixing these bugs sooner rather than later.

    Playing 3 Star High Evolution this morning on the 3 star DDQ node, normally he would do 9K damage with a cast of his black. Today, even with casting his yellow, he did only 5800 damage. So health stats are down, or his damage has been reduced somehow. Will use him again tomorrow and get screen shots.

    One example of #5 is 2* Storm's Yellow.
    One example of #6 is 3* Angel who's powers are vastly over powered once ascended to a 4*.

    7) In the roster screen when you sort for characters who can be upgraded it shows ascended characters even though they don't need ISO and there are no covers or shards to level them up (it seems like any that are not at an even level (ie 1/2 covers or 1/3 covers etc) cause this issue.

    Tokens for the Champions 2.0 vault are not being issued for characters who have been ascended past base level. I played a match with 5* Medusa, got no daily play token, then played another with 4* Ghost Rider and got one. At some level these seem to be being treated under the hood as different characters, which may be tied to the boosted version problem.

    Excellent, thanks for doing what I was too lazy to start, here are mine:

    Repro Rate: 100% for iron man, unknown for other heroes
    Steps:
    1. Open the store navigate to "offers" tab
    2. Click on the cover of the 1star ascended to 5 cover limited offer (in my case IronMan35)
    3. Click the arrow on the lower right to open the powers screen
    4. Click on "Add Cover"

    Result:
    If you have corresponding covers for that character, they will let you add them, even though you don't actually own the character. You get the "Shield Rank" XP, but you lose the covers you applied.

    I also noticed (and saw someone else comment the same)

    Repro Rate: Unknown
    Steps:
    1. While looking at someone else roster, select a high level ascended hero
    2. Note the hero levels and click one of the powers to look at it's info

    Result:
    The hero level in the individuals power menu will be different

    Has anyone noticed if ascended 3 star Deadpool still gives whale points?

    From Ice on Discord:

    There's a weird bug that we can't track down where sometimes brand new Ascended characters have the wrong values. Restarting the game (so the server updates you) or leveling them up fixes it.

    Ah yes my 2Storm3's numbers are good now.

    example for 4. :
    4mk5 shows lower damage in green power in roster screen and character select screen, but correct one in-match.

    Customer service kindly and promptly slid me a new 1 iron man 3, and I immediately accidentally applied him as a cover to the 1* dupe I’m building just like the first one. And now i don’t have the heart to go back and ask for yet another one…

    Alliancemate did exactly the same...

    When you look at a 4ascend5 on someone else’s roster, you only can only see the numbers for health and damage at 450, even though it’s much higher level on their roster. (This might apply to all ascends. I was specifically looking at 4Gorr5 which were level 475+, but when I clicked their covers, it only showed 450.)

    I have a max 4 and a dupe with only 8 covers but it gives me the Ascend button.

    When the Ascend button is available, I cannot see all the rewards for that max character. And since the other one is not champed, you can't see the rewards there.
