Frozen Lockbox is now live! New possible rewards include: - A Permanent Sidekick (Windchill) - 3 versions of the VTOL Hoverboard (Each rewardpack has the base power plus a skin). - 3 auras (Aurora, Icestorm, Starlight) - Ultimate Ice Power “Fractal Aegis”
New Zen Store Items: - Therakiel’s Hoverboard Pack (1500 ZEN) – contains Hoverboard power plus 3 skins. - Temporary Sidekick (200 ZEN) – Windchill (as permanent version, but lasts 1 hour of usage)
New Drifter/Questionite Store Items: - Hoberboard Electric skin in the Drifter store. - Hoverboard Light skin in the Questionite store. - Both skins require the basic Hoverboard power to be unlocked by acquiring a VTOL pack from the lockbox or purchasing Therakiel's Hoverboard Pack from the Zen Store.
Additional Patchnotes - Added a second hair option. - Moved costume specific hairs Bird People, Horse, Krampus beard and Werewolf to a new selection menu. Players will have to reapply those specific hairs to their costumes if they enter the tailor. - Gave Mental Storm and Mind Break unique icons. - Added no-detail textures for Werewolf Monstrous 01, 02 and 03. Added leather and metal materials to the heads. - Renamed the Weapons tab in the Tailor to "Weapons & Gear" since it now includes hoverboards.
So the obnoxious lockbox spam has moved to the sidekick rewards. If you're going to add more and more items to that how about imitating STO by giving us a way to turn those messages off?

Another Power in a lockbox. My god, blue was right
Buffing everything to stupid high levels and nerfing everything to piss poor levels yields the same results, but not the same community reactions.

Blocks some messages other than lockbox shouts, such as various event messages and notification of changing regions.

Not done, now I can't see system messages regarding events, boss spawns, or when the servers going to be shut down.
Turning off server messages still allowed lockbox announcements before. Did that change?
Also, double mouth accessories would really be the bomb. Imagine if a bearded character could also have a piece of straw, or if we could simply construct the beard people really want on their toons.

It's a travel power. You can buy it with Zen, like any other. Giving it away in a lockbox adds to the options, rather than detracting from them.
What makes me unhappy is that the lockbox is the only way I can acquire the new Permanent Sidekick. No purchase option exists - best I can do with Zen is yet another here-for-an-hour version, and if I want a Sidekick that only exists for one hour, I can get a Steelhead Soldier from the first chapter of Whiteout for free.
"Science teaches us to expect -- demand -- more than just eerie mysteries. What use is a puzzle that can't be solved? Patience is fine, but I'm not going to stop asking the universe to make sense!"
The Hover board travel power needs some attention. I'd like to suggestion that.
1: It's speed be increased slightly while in combat. 2: when you move forward it cancels out the falling mechanic so you don't have to constantly mash spacebar to regain altitude.
It needs to feel like a different Travel power and not a reskinned iceslide. I can understand not having it maintain altitude because then it's just a reskinned hoverdisk. But it needs tweaking in the stats area is it's a bit more unique.
BUG: Blocking on the hovorboard uses the same animation as blocking in flight.

The new, underwhelming, ice ultimate is also in the lockbox so he is correct.
For an ultimate it leaves a lot to be desired both in terms of visual effect and what it actually does.

Still in a lockbox. It can be a: Travel, Ult, hell, it could be a t2 power. Still in a lockbox, which means they like that method, and therefore, even if an Ult is really nice(the ice one looks meh, but still would have liked to weigh my options on my Fire/Ice DPS toon.) It will, most likely, end up in a lockbox. Also, I really don't care about the Travel Power.
Buffing everything to stupid high levels and nerfing everything to piss poor levels yields the same results, but not the same community reactions.
We have two powers now in a lock box, a new travel power and a new ultimate power. I don't like powers in lockboxes. We shouldn't have to gamble to get something that's a key component of a super hero game. I like many of the changes you've made to the game since taking over but this is not one of those changes I can support.
Having said that, I like a henchman that is unlimited. It's a move that should be done to all henchmen. The rarer the henchman the shorter the cool down time. Common drops for example, like say the viper or UNTIL soldier from Aftershock, could have an hour cool down and rare drops, like say the Mechanon event drops could have cool downs similar to the rare from this event. Just an idea.
Lockbox powers can be purchased from the AH or a traded with a friend. That's how I get them when I play STO. Let other people gamble for you. If you're patient the power (or sidekick) you want will appear in the AH for a reasonable price.
As far as in game notifications go. The game just isn't busy enough for them to be a nuisance. In a game like STO they can be really annoying. But in CO.. you barely even see them. Maybe one message, every what.. twenty minutes or so? It's not enough to really matter.
and the Starlight aura is the most dissapointing part for me

Okay, the Light Hoverboard makes sense for 100k Questionite since its not a travel power so its worth half the other Travel Powers. But the Electric Hoverboard does NOT makes sense at all. The price of a vehicle and it doesn't give you the unlock? Please change this price. It is NOT worth that amount of Drifter Salvage compared to other items in the store.
Oh wow, LOVE the double hair option, now I can mix and match to create new hairstyles, awesome!
Yep, combined the Messy Mohawk with the Long Shoulder Braid and Fire Head aura, and now Pyretta Blaze has a flaming rat-tail!

I combined the crowpeak with punk shaved and it looks pretty cool! I want to mix the spiky top with the short braid to have something close to sabin from ff6

Like guy said, it shouldn't have to be gambled for, as it\s supposed to be a given really, in that powers are what COi s based around.

Windchill could use some fashion advices from Gravitar....
Someone went and used everything in every category.
Two words. Ugly.
You see nubs looking like that. Knives and crap, when you don't even need knives....With matching hair to same 2 colors.
Not really want her to hang around permanetly...

her costume is a smidge less than beautiful. Like... 1 is a smidge less than 100.
Looks like someone was hitting randomize button in tailor.
Not something that needs to be kept around permanently for look.
I think it would be great to have permanent versions of old existing sidekicks. They do look much better than her and come in variety of themes.
Well you guys gave a mouse a cookie.
