Hi Everyone. This is a bug, as it is unintentional for the rewards in SCL9 to not follow the increased reward structure set up for 7-day events. As The Rockett has stated, the development team is aware of this, and they are discussing how to address it.
By the way, I Believe there was some old PvE where the placement rewards were changed after the PvE started… I Think it was in the spring of 2015, and X-force Wolverine was the fourstar placement reward. When I pointed out that he couldn’t be essential in the upcoming run of EotS as he was locked out of the first half it got changed to Ghost Rider, who was fairly new at the time. Some people got upset because they joined early not expecting to chase top placement, then the placement reward was changed to something they wanted…
Of course, that was one fourstar cover being changed for Another fourstar cover. Giving out more fourstar covers than originally said may be trickier technically.
Are the devs as tired of these constant miss steps as the players? It seems they can’t go a week without bungling something, last week it was the Halloween vault, this week it’s 7 day CL9 rewards, next week?
Hi Everyone. We’ve just pushed out an update to placement rewards for SCL 9, that should fix the issue you were seeing. The following rewards have been changed:
