Patriot Event
During the Patriot Event Patriot tokens can drop from any mob in game and for completing the Red Winter alert. Liberty Guard also has a daily mission that awards Patriot tokens.
  • Added perks for running Red Winter, eating hot dogs, and using temporary firework devices.
  • Added Badge and Military Stripes costumes as potential drops from mobs during the event.
  • Added Vital Spirit mod as a potential drop from mobs during the event. This mod decreases both cost of powers and cooldown time of powers.

Added the following items to Liberty Guard's store:
  • Maple Leaf Trail Aura: Color, White, Black, Rainbow.
  • Star Trail Aura: Rainbow.
  • Falling Star and Orbiting Star Auras.
  • Canadian Flag: Speed, Acrobatics, Athletics.
  • Flag: Acrobatics, Athletics.
  • Justiciar action figure (formerly in the ZEN store).
  • Valiant emote.
  • Maple Leaf vehicle.


Misc
  • Lowered the duration of Gaping Wound to 2 seconds (from 8) to prevent this effect from stacking up to high numbers on targets (this can causes ill effects in a large encounter). Values have been re-adjusted for the new time and should have the same damage overall. While this power didn't work on most dots to begin with, added an additional rule to the effect so it cannot trigger off of dots under any circumstance.
  • Made the rocks on TK Maelstrom colorable.
  • Adjusted the tail animation while using Arcane flight so it doesn't look like it's dragging behind you.
  • Added some variety to the hitfx for Ego Blade Pandemonium for ranks 2 and 3.
  • Fixed a bug where the Energetic mod could not be fused.
  • Added Soviet Guard's Resolution mod as a drop to the Red Winter alert. This mod increases both critical hit and critical severity.


Costumes
  • Added a detail map for the Stripe Side tights costume.
  • Fixed a bug where the right male futuristic orb for shoulders was inverted, causing materials to look off on it.
  • Fixed a bug where the Alien Armor antenna costume did not have access to cloth, leather, metal.
  • Fixed a bug where the Alien Armor hipwear clipped while in vixen stance.

    I was hoping it was an actual leaf.
    For my plant themed character.
    Unforunately, it's just an red and white grav bike.

    It is nice to see the rocks were made tintable.
    Now how about implementing the other request?

    I am really glad to see more combo mods. Let's start getting some duals and triple stats for those of us who like to spread stuff around.

    The Hotdogs perk is in the Heroic section of perks, first one is Relish the Moment (eat 10 Hotdogs)

    Razzle Dazzle is in Events (use 10 limited use fireworks)

    Red Winter is in Alerts (Red Alert 1 time, Nuclear 25 times)

    The problem is, Valiant title has already existed long before this as the 400 Days Subscription title found here.
    http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/champions-online/news/detail/9052783
    Since they couldn't have two of the same titles at once, they had to replace it with something new. So it isn't a bug, just misinformation on their part.

    Isnt the Mighty the Title you get from Emote bought from Circus Malvanum Event?
    If it is, that's still a title duplicate​​

    Nope, that would be Belligerent from the fighting1 emote.

    Oh well, the item description needs to be changed nevertheless

    The Badge is a bit different from the MC police badge.


    And no, they do not unlock weapons....

    And now, can we have the Emblems made same way.

    Male Futuristic Shoulder's Attachment is missing the Wispy material. Female piece has it. (And lost the glow option from Holoforce?)

    I Have to admit, those new auras are incredible Cute, Im a fan of the new STARS auras and im going to farm 5 of them for a specific character
    Thumbs Up for those :+1::star:

    However I wish there was an aura version with multiply Orbiting Stars so the game wouldnt force me to waste multiply aura slots :anguished:

    Not a fan of the Vehicles and the Travel Powers, so I wont bother with them
    I only use patriotic speed on 3 non-american characters only because their costumes containt blue and red

    I guess only Patriotic R.A.D Sphere is left to be made

    HOWEVER, im dissapointed this is again Farm this alert forever event

    the theme has potential, a open world daily mission in desert where you have to uncover Red Winter plans which lead to the ALERT story would be more pleasant and fit the CO setting

    Can't complain, its a really LITE Farming, 4 days doing the daily will get you 150 tokens, bonus if you are leveling a character via missions and get drops

    but there could have more DEPTH, as it stand right now its shallow​​

    Derp, I thought it was connected to the Patriot event, but after you mentioned it I remembered these being added with the improved mega destroid open mission.

    I was thinking about that just yesterday. Is it possible they left this "simple" because of the (somewhat) blowback about "you're making these events too hard/complicated!!!"? It might be intentional.

    I would assume this is a two week event, but I would like some confirmation about when the 4th of July event ends. I would also like to point out how the scoring in Red Winter is a bit wonky when it comes to heal. It seem that light healing will put you in the 10,000 ranges compare to straight up dpsing.
