    Any chance the Dark Illusion mods will be fixed to do what they say they do on mouse-over?

    I only have one character that uses them, one R5 in his secondary, two R9s in his primary. Supposedly, this should result in +40 to his primary SS upon the use of any of his attacks since they are all Shadow(Dimensional) damage, as well as a rather large reduction in threat, especially when combined with his Ranged Damage role and Shadowform.

    However, using his attacks results in no bonus to any stat. It's not that it just doesn't show on the character sheet, damage remains exactly the same, form and passive remain the same, etc. No change whatsoever. In addition, as often as he draws aggro when on a team, I am unconvinced that the threat reduction is functioning either, especially since those mods take the place of ones that would increase damage output.

    I realize that I'm likely one of the very few who use those mods, but one R5 and two R9s represent a significant investment, and I would VERY much like a return on that investment. It has been over a month since they were announced fixed, please do so.

    Did the issue with Alts not being able to do the Death Rattle missions get fixed? Only have 3 characters that can do the missions. The rest have done the first part, but can no longer do the daily for the first part, and can't do the second part at all.

    Not this stupid event again... and in such short time too! I know I know it's propably to stay in theme as filler for the Death Rattle but still there is a reason this this and FM Race are in the bottom of popularity
    I see there is no improment and any QOL to make it more enjoyable neither!
    I will take High Noon and Qliphothic Invansion over this

    I like Nighthawk. It might be a bit old and worn and occur too many times per calendar year for its own good. But it has a story. Maybe I'm alone in this, but I prefer that over "here's a giant robot; good luck not dying."

    And the Unique story's novelty wore off once again when you had to farm the alert constantly to get Tokens while seeing the same unskippable Cutscene spam over and over again while seeing the cutscenes glitching all the time and watch Player's character, Nighthawk and Franklin Stone clipping under the floor

    and before that, watching Nighhawk beating the crap out your team allies ???

    I DID notice a change on this event however, the Token Drop rate from the mobs are way more generous this time! Getting 3 and 4 stars more often
    In 3 days I had already 600+ tokens, less reason to queue spam the alert :grimace: thats a big plus

    and along with that, I have been doing Death Rattle dailies along side, which i assume it was DEVs' intention (They share the same building, Werehouse)​​

    MIGHT as well, wait and see ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
    This is no need for Defiance, months before the anniversary.
    They're going to hold back for now and blow all their loads of work for the 10th annivarsary to make it a Hype and Pack a Punch
    Otherwise it would be such a Kick in the face, but I'm sure Devs will Flex their muscles with the new stuff they have been holding back in PTS

    A bit more than a month until the event? I wonder if they will do anything to publicize this milestone event beyond PWE and well before it actually happens?
