Test Discussion Episode 42: Rewards

Can we have the Omnibus Reward Caches be stackable?

Is the pricing for Wonderverse augments meant to remain the same? As of now, they are more expensive than other omnibus-tier ones even factoring in that technically using source marks to purchase them gives you a 50% discount.

Can we have the Elite version of Apokoliptian Amazon sold in HoL? Renown required, of course, would be nice if this extends to previous episode ones too, at least the ones that are sold on the vendor.

HoL Vendor can add items from WV beyond the Apokoliptian Amazon too: Fortify items on The Atom and x.4 mods by Captain Atom?

Seeing The Catwoman's categories made me think even more vendors on HoL are needed, included here are my suggestions on who's selling them: Augments (Mad Hatter), Omnipotence (Spectre), Extra Styles (Batwoman), Base Items (John Stewart, seriously he's doing nothing), Trinkets (Captain Cold) and a specific vendor for currency conversion & tokens of merit (Can we get Shimmer? I know she doesn't even have a model but this would be a great fit and formally kick Doctor Light out of the Fearsome Five).
The collection based items really need a place for us to purchase other than that one time we get them.

The collections\investigations not giving base items is new to me. Does it mean we have no new base items with this episode? I saw a couple in the open world I would love to have as Base Items (tho it has Luthor on them lol)

This episode definitely needs base items you can toss a few items in from the House of Legends too if you can . Also what about the new Artifacts for this episode ?

• No base items at this time. We have other plans for HoL items, stay tuned.
• No artifacts at all for EP42.

What about for future episodes like EP43? Are you gonna swap ally/artifact release for episodes? So one episode will have allies and the other will have artifacts?

No we'll have both, typically, moving forward next year.

It's sad there are no new base items in ep 42. But I hope base items vendor with all base items across the game will appear... SOON™

Good to know, thanks for responding.

So no base items or Artifacts again. I'm not a fan of that .

Thats a great addition. 16 pages of items is a bit tough to scroll through but it works and is still awesome.

If these additional partial aura rewards dont have their own extra spot in the loot choice screen, i'd be actually more discouraged to run omnibus for these, since there is nothing i hate more than partial auras (of all extra rewards).

The color change is very pleasant.

Thats great to decrease the scroll time on the R&D vendor. Good stuff.

Normal mode is Endgame, right?

Yes.

Also later today there should be a build and in that build the R&D components should be stackable to 999 from 16.

I am sad about no base items because there was so many I saw in the open world that could work as base Items (Like the Lex Luthor Hologram and screen and Legion of Doom Spray). When can we expect to see the base items for 41 though? And PLEASE Tell me that we will get the controller banner next to Vandal Savage.

Can you clarify a little on episode 42, will we only get 1 ally in this episode? This is overwhelmingly small and for most it means that the next 3-4 months there will be no changes in character costumization or changes in the gameplay ...

One Ally launching with this episode but that does not mean only one Ally until EP43. There are other vectors in which we introduce Allies. I believe 2 more may possibly be out before 43 comes along.

Do other gen mod plans drop this dlc or is it really just 42.4 if so nice change

Where do we drop Core Elements V42 for the new generator mods?

Any chance we'll see Miss Martian's hairstyle as an extra vendor item? It's too good!

Is there reasoning behind the line drawn between End Game and Early End Game Adaptive Augments? Like, wouldn't it be better if we had the ability to feed very old (like Cybernetic as an example) to newer augments? It kind of feels like you are doubling down on the grind for AAs and it's a very small part of the DLC's life. Like, heck, it can only be used in the DLC's content.

I'ld like to not only echo this but use it as a platform to ask why those bonuses aren't set to the character (similar to Feats) instead of the Augment? Feeding the Augment would just unlock them for the character instead of unlocking them on the Augment, then once that Augment is maxxed they could either be used to feed others or simply disappear, leaving the character with those bonuses "permanently" (ie: whenever they are in that specific content) without having to change them out.

Having to swap AA's out if you want their bonuses on specific content is counter to immersion and is annoying with its time consumption.
