      Next would be Throw_money. Wait, does that already exist or is it just the money aura?

      I'm assuming the emotes were added because of the nuptials this weekend.

      very unlikely - that ingame wedding was announced on the 22nd and the patch with those emotes went up on the PTS the next day...no way in hell can you throw together something like that in less than a day, especially with critically limited staff

      unless the animations were already buried in the game's guts and just needed a good excuse to convert them into a player-usable emote​​

      Haven't seen the emote, but if it's like the Holy Water animation then the basics were already there.

      That actually looks more like the Illumination animation o3o the holy water one might have been a bit too aggressive? Like you're whipping that confetti at people. Hey wait... holy water animation could be used for whip attacks.

      Okay no, it's not Illumination either, I just checked - also not holy water for sure. So I don't know where it's from​​

      I'm having a real hard time doing these inventory based missions these days, I got 6 open inventory slots on my main toon, with all my bank, supergroup bank, and hide out bank slots full. Are we going to get anything to alleviate this any time soon? A vault that holds all the mods would be nice.

      I should quickly add that the rewards for this mission require 4 open slots to collect, and as you can't toss your evidence you got on stone (apparently you take it with you to confront him) that's 8 slots of inventory you need free to collect the rewards

      Added Cannon hands

      Can we finally get the Lemuria ghostpirate hand cannons?....

      And major bug: Cannon Hands don't scale with Hands or Hand Length sliders. :#

      I'm starting to like those Tech animal mask. Tech Lynx along with Regal Lion reminds me of the masks the foretellers from Kingdom Hearts Union Cross/Back cover
      661c92493d2d52e54daa0745b0fbbfbdee135604v2_hq.jpg?w=770
      And this Prequel is still nonsense and it sucks
      I'm going to embrace another user's suggestion and say
      Suggestion: Please allow those costumes to be available WITHOUT the mouth part, in the style of the masks showed above


      Nighthawk
      Added Cannon hands and Tech Lynx mask to the event vendor.

      BUG: Cannon
      1. Hand Length and Hands sliders don't affect the costume[/color]
      2. Fisticuffs Aura doesn't affect the costume

      This is Working as Intended and its not a bug​​

      Very little of what I've got in my inventory is useful, I got about two bags worth of mods, I got a bunch of bind on pick up devices like snow balls, fish, the sword, ping pong gun, cowboyification ray gun, etc, and I've got loot boxes, junk from events, stars, recovery devices, become devices, all kinds of junk I can't sell, got no room in my personal bank vault to store, but can't quite bring myself to toss away. The Devs said they'd look into doing something about this when they introduced the double attribute mod and I took them at their word. I'm guess there's going to be a triple attribute mod before they increase the number of bank slots to store the stuff they keep adding to the game.

      I got 161 characters, my hideout vault ran out of room a while back with nemesis gear, special mods, reward packs, collector store vouchers, vehicles, catalysts, purple secondary gear, devices, and whatever else might be account bound or might be useful at some point for a character at some point.

      I use the mail quite a bit, especially for the event stuff at the AH, I got about 40 robots AF in the mail for example for when High Noon comes round again, or AF parts for the Christmas event.

      They don't have an options to discard things instead of picking them up so it seems to me that CO's intent is for you to collect everything. It's not my fault I pick everything up, I'm Canadian, it's how I was raised.

      I don't think the reason is due to the QoL honestly, it's just based off not remembering which one. I advise making a list of all toons then crossing out which ones don't have it.

      The sorting change doesn't actually make this harder -- what you do is pick the character furthest back that you think might have it. Choose that one. If it doesn't have it, scroll to the same location in your character selection screen and choose that one. Repeat until you either find it or your target character reappears in that space.

      This is easiest if you have only one page to go through.

      You pick it up; you fence it. If it can't be fenced, you either try to sell it at the Auction House or you just drag it off your inventory to discard. Or you use it. You really don't need that many snowballs.

      No it does though, I mean I got 13 pages of characters, and while it's unlikely to be further back than the 3rd page now, the longer I search the more I'm going to need to search for characters that would normally be on the first page. If my characters weren't currently shifting all the time all I'd need to do is remember what pages I searched and the order of my other characters would get messed up.

      You can also choose to throw away stuff that's not useful and just taking up space. You're choosing not to, just like Hoarder guy chose not to throw away his newspapers.

      Also if you have 13 pages of characters, you really should have a text file or something where you write down where you're keeping what. It takes like 10 seconds to write that down in a text file, but I imagine it could take an hour or more to search through all those characters.

      Interestingly enough, Hoarders on the show also commonly have this thing where their house is a total mess, but "I know where everything is". It seems really fun to just go in there and move the entire mess around randomly and then watch them freak out as their mess becomes a mess in their eyes as well!​​

      Or I'm like a guy that was managing to organize and look after all the stuff until even more stuff was dumped into the game, If it wasn't for mods I'd have like 90% of my bank accounts free and a full bag and a half free on my main character.

      Or maybe a game that adds all this stuff to the game should increase the amount of storage we have access to as that hasn't increased since launch.
