GU 52 Special Gift
It's Game Update 52! Thanks for sharing this milestone with us. We’ve included a special gift that is available to all players only during this game update! Look for the 52 mission in your Journal!
Progress Point Display
If a scenario has an active Progress Point, you can now see how much time is remaining until the Progress Point expires when selecting the scenario!
Some elite On Duty scenarios require a progress point in order to allow players to queue for the instance. Since progress points are available only for a limited time before they expire, we want to let players know how much time is remaining before this occurs. If a progress point is active for a scenario, the time remaining until the next progress point expiration will be displayed in the On Duty menu on the Scenario Info panel when that scenario is selected.
Please note that some scenarios, Survival Mode instances for example, have progress points that do not automatically expire, so we will not show an expiration time for those instances.
Skipping Interaction Cams
Some interaction cams can now be skipped! A button prompt now displays at the bottom of the screen during an interaction if it can be skipped. Players will be able to press the Square button on the controller or the Left Mouse Button on the mouse to skip these interaction cams.
Titles Save with Armories
Player titles will now be imprinted onto Armories! Now, when you imprint your character onto an Armory, it will save off your currently selected title. Additionally, there is now an "Imprint Title" only option in the Armory imprint menu that will allow you to imprint only the currently selected title. Whenever you activate an Armory that has an imprinted title, that imprinted title will replace whatever title the character currently has selected.
Legends PvE: Watchtower Containment Facility
The newest installment of Legends PVE is now available! Players can test their skills by creating unique teams of iconic DC Legends characters and entering the Watchtower's Containment Facility! Prisoners have escaped, and a countdown has begun on the main reactor! You must contain the danger before it threatens us all!
Players will be rewarded with Marks of Legend for defeating all the bosses and completing the instance – each boss will drop at least one Mark. Players will also be able to earn feat points by completing the achievements in the event itself. Look for Watchtower Containment Facility in the Legends PVE section of the Feats menu.
To queue for the event, just look for Legends: Watchtower Containment Facility under the Events tab in the On Duty menu!
