Destroid Invasion

• Every hour Destroids will be invading the Champions headquarters!

• The amount of Favor diminishes each time you run it, and will go on cooldown for 20 hours after being run 10 times.
• The Destroid Invasion has been changed to use level adjusting tech (previously all enemies were level 60).
• Many of their abilities now have wireframe FX tells.
• Reduced the amount of HP the Destroids have to account for the 50 zone limit.
• Added participation threshold for rewards to the open mission.
• Rewards do not differ based on placement.

Backup Devices

• Lowered the damage these devices do.

• Fixed a bug where one of the dots applied from enemy Planar Fracture had a lengthy duration.
• Increased Kigaitlik's snowstorm range.

Thanks! That Rampage was getting just impossible to do anymore.

I was expecting Slime Aura to be in vendor. Not that I want it, that aura is Ugly and has no place in the event

Added the following items to the store: Sapphire's Rocker Glider, Ghostly Witchcraft action figure, Defender's Helmet, Defender's Gloves, Sapphire's Belt, Glitter Fox Tail, Glitter Lizard Tail.

450 Anniversary Favor for DEFENDER'S JUNK!? More expensive than Anniversary Elegant Mask which was a well made new item!? (ok its a variation of GOLD month reward, Mardi Mask, but still its pretty darn good)

and what's the difference between that Defender Helmet and the Lockbox ( Foxbat vs Defender) one?

Sapphire's Belt isn't any better by itself >_> Yeah I have to say those are dissapointing new costumes

Device Changes
Teleiosaurus Pheromones
Teleiosaurus Pheromone summoned raptors no longer have collision.
Added some variety to the raptor costumes that can be summoned.

Only my Summoner use the device, and I have to say I love the Colour Variation

Yellow Dino, Green Dino, Blue Dino, Orange Dino

hooray they are no longer annoying​​

I too would like to know the difference between this new helmet and gloves and the ones from the set I already have.

The new Defender helmet and gloves are the ones that our beloved Defender (who harasses us every time we pass by him in RC) wears. The ones you have from the Defender 2015 set are not the same.

That's easy to find out. Just put the Defender 2015 helmet on a toon then go look at Defender and play spot the difference. They are different...



It's not a big difference, but it's there. I much prefer the one from this event.

I would have loved another Slime Aura. It may be ugly, but sometimes ugly is what you're looking for.

And no other aura does 'Blood-Spattered' quite like it..........

Gotta keep yer axes clean though......priorities!

Thank you. This was a needed adjustment.

How much HP did the (non-liberated)Mega-Ds have last year?

avianos

Yeah not gonna bother with those costumes at all, not worth it​​

kyastral

Hmm.. 450 anniversary favor is too exepensive for Sapphire's belt; it is very bland costume piece. In my opinion, the belt should have been paired with her boots for 450 anniversary favor and her navel gems could be 200 anniversary favor.

markhawkman

I was wondering about the gems... I guess we don't have those yet?

​​

Other Kiga attacks not mentioned here also had their range increased, might be a bug.

gogoginga1

I was happy to be rewarded on the new hourly mission with a become black talon device drop , only to be disappointed that they are now bind on equip , i liked moving them between my characters for the fun of me and my friends going on a black talon rampage , what is the reasoning of making it now a bind item?

jer

So is the mechanon event going to happen next week, and is that where the slime skin comes from?

markhawkman

I'm hoping for something different. The mechanon thing was part of the mechanon story that was ongoing at the time.

guyhumual

I didn't really dig the mechanon stuff, it was great the first year but I was over it by the second and I'm not looking forward to it this year. Others might be excited I suppose

[Ninja Vanity travel power]

Still with the same bug.

When active you can flight anyware, but when try flight front the character goes landing like a airplane.

Is that a bug? I just assumed that's how it worked. You are somewhat affected by gravity using those forms whereas you are not with regular teleport.

I just stay on the ground unless I need to fly. Ninja Leaves reminds me very much of the guy from the bad Elektra movie who moved exactly like that.

roughbearmattach

Ninja Leaves is supposed to work and feel different than regular teleport. It is supposed to be affected by gravity.

The final stage of the anniversary is, in fact, Mechanon.

markhawkman

how do we know this for sure?

NOTHING in this TP Description states that
but we are getting off topic here​​
