Destroids

• Added Destroid Crest costume to the debugger and to the Destroids Rise Again drop table.
• Added Destroid Guard costume to the debugger and the Destroid drop tables.
• Added preview images for most items.
• Added new action figures.
• Changed the hold on the Surge Accelerator device into a paralyze.

Misc

• All unique alerts now give out small amounts of UNTIL recognition (1~3) from the reward circle.
• All unique alerts now have a chance at giving out the Second Wind heal device and questionite boxes from the reward circle.
• Warlords rewards are now all located at the reward circle (instead of appearing at the player).
• Switched many alert costumes over to blue quality to help disperse the costumes on the auction house. (Increasing the amount of auction house results is unfortunately not something we can do at this time.)
• Moved the Grab costumes from the Grab the Money and Run alert to the reward circle instead of mob drops.
• Added Bluejay Mantle as a new reward for Grab the Money and Run.
• Added an additional XP reward to the Cybermind alert.
• Fixed a bug with the Pawprint aura where it occasionally would not be visible for females.
• Added new perk icons to many of the exchange perks.
• Fixed a bug where R3 Quick Reload was not giving the correct amount of energy.

Good stuff overall, however:

Any chance you guys would consider just putting consumable devices like Second Wind on a vendor instead of spreading them around as (often unwanted) drops? That way, people who want them or need them for a specific encounter can reliably obtain them while those who don't want or need them don't have to fight the extra inventory clutter.

So many Second Winds...

Suggestion:
Increase the stack cap of healing items to 99 instead of 20.

A lot of players' inventory/bank slots are piled with Second Winds. Please increase it so we can save slots.

I don't even bother to vend Second Wind anymore--immediate trash.

That being said, many players, especially folks leveling ATs without a self-heal, use them a bunch.

That also being said, some new players do not know that healing devices can be bought from vendors at a low cost.

["Suggestion Blue" goes here, why is this not working?]
Suggestion
please take this opportunity and tone down G.R.A.B the money and Run and Harmon Labs Heist enemies KNOCKS
the knocks outright ignore knock resistance, knock lock you, and at least 3 members per group has access to them (Frag Grenade and Shotgun)

in the G.R.A.B alert it's also annoying since the instance space is quite tight and you always get collided with the objects

now that the unlock continions have changed for warlord have been change, we will be forced to deal with NPC knock exploits

[/"Suggestion Blue", are the HTML codes bugged?]

wasn't NPC Frag Grenade suppose to change to be a REPEL? because this is definatly not a repel

Added Bluejay Mantle as a new reward for Grab the Money and Run.

Yay more NPC exlusive unlocks

Why doesn't the Serpent Collar becomes part of the Red Snake alert as well?​​

kaiserin

Healing items already had their stack increased from 6 to 20 a while back. They will not be raised again.​​

sterga

You can sell Second Wind stacks on the AH. I did and someone actually bought it.​​

In the Debugger, Destroid Guard costume (for me anyways) shows as already unlocked (grey mask icon), and double-clicking the item returns "Costumes for this item are already unlocked," though that is not the case and the costume does not show in Tailor.

I did some digging, and I think I have the answer to this. Arc/PWE/Whatever has been monkeying with the forum code structure in various ways, which has (among other things) broken much of the extension's functionality. On top of that, the extension creators seem to have moved on to other things, so I don't anticipate any fixes coming for it anytime soon. So...I switched it off and now I can color things again through html.

They now show up when running around forward in all directions, yes. There's a variation of how easily they're seen, but that can be chalked up to them just being footsteps. They don't show up as well going backwards, but you won't be moving in reverse anywhere near as often. And they're fine when walking.

Although they don't show up during Acro anymore at all. Still, definitely improved, Kaiserin. Thanks.

Suggestion: add [Destreum Bearing] to the drop table for the destroids OM.

Isn't Kaizerin going to remove those in the future?

I'd be shocked if this happened, but given the difficulty of the OM, it wouldn't really be out of place. (In fact the OM is better than the Rampage)

Well this is definatly unpleasant
and the HMTL colour code doesn't work for me neither with or without the add on active :dissapointed:
this doesn't help with the Forum Quality and cannot mark suggestions and bugs with coloured text anymore >_>

Despite what help suggests, you can't use styles to set color, you need to use something like <font color=red>.

Seeing as how they intend to get rid of these I can't see it happening either. But I'd be all for it if it did.

It's a little weird in how it behaves. I find that I can't add color via font tags to posts I've made with the forum extension, but new posts (such as this one) work fine. This works, but I couldn't go back and edit font tags into my suggestion post. (Note: We should probably move any further conversation about this to another thread so we don't derail this one)

The idea seems to be to make them drops so people who don't think about healing items/don't know about them will basically have them shoved in their faces as a sort of "HEY DID YOU KNOW THAT THESE ARE A THING?" neon sign. You know, since there are apparently people who didn't know this game has heal pots.

I just find the whole mechanic of how you use them terribly unpleasant. Using conviction has always just been easier.

*raises hand slowly* I enjoy getting second wind. I never buy heal pots (forget). I don't find them to be a useless drop and think they enhance the average player experience. *lowers hand and hides*

The updates for the event look marvelous!

I'm curious though if we ever got those summon shadow skins. Are those the cat/jackal options? I hadn't played the game in years since this past October and never thought to check. I don't know if those skins have been around. This is probably derailing the thread just a touch though...

Keep in mind not every player has access to Freeform, not to mention some AT does not have a direct heal power for them to use.

delete this please

Despite my own complaints, I must agree with this point. Second Wind is very useful for some players. Adding them as a regular special alert drop is fine.

^ That almost makes me want a [Consumable Device Nullifier] that I can equip to not have that crap pollute my inventory.

I mean, I get that they're useful to some folks, which is good. That's why I wish they were available from a shop so people could get them any time they need them rather than feeling forced to stockpile. For the rest of us, that means less inventory purging. Sounds like a win/win to me.

The equivalent is available in a few shops, using UNTIL, Resources, etc. Second Wind is about as good as any other healing consumable.

Yeah but for that you have to actually take conviction, not an option for everyone. Pots are for everyone.

The struggle is real.

Bug:
Paw print aura doesn't work with bestial stances.
