What is the downside of rewarding an Emp vault for completing a cata run? Like what is the argument against it? I think doing Legend with grims and tomes is easier than doing a cata run without them and it gives some incentives to actually play cata instead of Legend.
1 Emp vault for completion seems fine to me. I think the real reason they wonât and havenât is because itâs DLC.
I think they should make Cataclysm free for all players, and then give it an 1 emperorâs vault guaranteed as a reward for completion. Right now (I believe) all the Cataclysm challenges only reward coin which is used for cosmetics. The initial idea was that Cataclysm was supposed to be very difficult, and that players could earn everything they ever could want on Legend.
One of the main reasons is that its p2w so fatshark wont add it to the game, thats also one the biggest reasons why i have played vermintide 2 for nearly 8 years. These days its getting so hard to find quality games with no bs attached to them.
I donât think its pay to win at all.
First the emp vault is something already obtainable from doing the game on legend.
Second winning a game on cata is harder task than getting the books on legend. So its the path of greater resistance if your goal was just to farm chests since your failure rate is going to be much higher.
Right now there is a disincentive to play Cata at all because you are just getting worse rewards for a much harder task than playing the game on legend. I do think an emp chest is a modest reward and not something that is going to be exploited or something that is going to become META to farm chests.
Pay for convenience is still p2w, do you also think buying path of exile stash tabs isnt p2w? If you do then theres no point continuing this conversation with you because it wont go anywhere.
If Cata gave more material rewards like access to more Emp vaults via challenges and no books for emo vaults while also being DLC, then it would be like paying for an advantage or benefits that other players donât have.
Paywall is still a massive issue when discussing CATA rewards. Even the most minor buff (such as 2 Emp Chests for completion with no books) would still be a PTW or PTSkip kind of thing, and as such could be construed as a buff for those who paid. AND thereâs a load of threads on DT forum about people playing High levels who shouldnât be there due to skill level. This would be a side-effect of adding buffs or rewards to CATA.
Thats it, if you want stuff play legend. If you want fun play cata 
definetly not. cata doesât need loot goblins running forward to grab books and such then dying.
