No more exploiting this bug to make her agro and tank Kiga's dogs
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
So with inventory management still being a thing we're gonna make it worse again? I know the Christmas event would have been unplayable with this change in effect. I had that mods tab filled day 1, I have the biggest bags you can get and they're all filled. After I do missions I need to spend 5 to 10 minutes just clearing my inventory and this is going to make it worse. I was able to use the over flow bag to quickly clear out my inventory by opening all those stupid loot bags at once, but now I got to do things in batches which is going to slow the game down considerably. Why would you do this?

The only thing I'd like is a "discard all" button if we don't already have one. I'm not sure why, but I can't remember if we do or not.
Hoping to see more new stuff soon.
we don't even have the option to discard things from the pick up menu. If you have multiple quest items on the ground that you can only have one of in your inventory and the area is just littered with pick ups that you can't access until the top pick up is dealt with, you're going to have to go into your inventory and discard the quest item so you can pick up the top one on the ground, and then keep doing that for every single conflict until you've picked up all the items. In most games you could just discard from the pick up screen or switch to a different stack of items, but not CO. CO loves making busy work

From Zone Live:
Just once I'd like to be wrong to see how it feels like
Well, chickens have been getting downed round the clock so.... wish granted o3o
There's nothing wrong with motivating new tanks to step up. Gets old having the same 3 people tank everything :P ( oh and also there's the fact that you don't need an actual tank, Kagami has tanked the nightmare thingy, lel )
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
well thanks to the Christmas events I know the /lootcancel command off by heart. How about they fix the stacking issue they have as well? If I've got 1 snowball on my device tray and 8 slots open in my 4th and 5th bag why are newly opened snowballs from stockings going into my overflow bag in the first place?

I can think of many examples for you.
Cause that's how spaghetti sorts things. Not well.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Last night, my chicken clear went something like this:
Someone: Aesica, are you going to tank it?
Me: Nope!
Someone: I don't blame you
...several minutes later, it starts and I end up with aggro on the chicken despite the fact someone else was there to tank it. I tanked it for about a minute in DPS role (!) before finally switching to tank and...yeah it's not hard.
I guess what I'm getting at is you don't have to be a cosmic-tier tank to tank the chickens, since it seems to have been toned down a lot. Any shmuck with a bit of extra durability can do it.
I lost several hundred in recent holiday currency between several alts. What was the reason for this removal? I camped for this stuff...if this is permanently gone, I just won't be able to support CO financially going forward.
Granted, in the forums. Some sort of ingame message would have been nice since not everyone checks the forums. Tally that one to the "in hindsight" list that keeps growing.
Where? I never saw it, and that's skimming past the fact that it was a very bad decision.
I dunno if it was toned down, cause I tanked the chicken on a dps the first time the event was live. Event bosses are generally like that. I dunno why Lezard is suddenly acting like they need cosmic tanks... he should know better.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Pretty sure it was first mentioned like... at least a month ago? They even made an event specifically so you could spend your remaining currency.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Agreed. I knew about the changes, I told all my friends, but that's only because I usually check the forums. Most of my friends don't.
Screw the Old Currencies. Not even bothering to check what i got left. Let the Nulling begin.

They have new costumes but are locked behind completing dailies and drifter.
If I have 400 tokens and miss day 10, I am just S.O.L ?
What is the point of farming this event? I am getting coins...but have everything. So why should I care?
Like I mis-read the mission and thought killing the chicken over and over would go towards the mission, but no...I have to finish the daily.
So why should someone do this event? Why should I bother collecting tokens?
...oh wait that's for that gladiatory thing.

No, because that's not how it works. If you miss day 10, you wait until the next time the event happens. It happened like 7 times last year.
You shouldn't, so why are you complaining? Just don't do the event. I'd say "glad I could solve your problem for you", but there isn't even a problem. You're just kinda going nuts about nothing.
The fairly obvious answer: cause someone wants the rewards. If you don't want the rewards, don't do the event. Is there some reason you feel they need to implement some motivation beyond that?

Lol see you’re still upset about your poor OV “griefing”
When did asking questions become complaining? I guess a mind like yours would think so.
I am referring to the new items for this event....what’s the point of collecting coins if everything new is based on missions. Seems pointless to anything but run mission and just collect Silver or Questionite.
what even.
I don't think it's even possible to collect 2000 Tokens within 2 weeks timeframe
BUT YEAH! What the hell?
The daily missions aren't meant to motivate you to farm coins, they're motivating you to do the missions required for them. Why do you think they need to motivate you to farm coins? Do cosmic dailies motivate you to farm nemesis recognition?
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
You: How dare they make it so progress from a previous instance of an event is no longer useful in getting rewards the next time the event pops up!

but MY GOD! Nightmare Demolisher needs to GO! Knock-Repel-Knock Into SPAMMER!
Can we please have Nightmare Demolisher despawn once the Nightmare Portal is down?
I wish I had your optimism
But BEFORE you jump the gun and meme me to death, I'm not saying the currency wont be useful for the next time the event will be around this year
Also Im actually curious to see where they are going with the new Reward mechanic for events they introduced
I'm just saying from some personal calculation that gathering 2000 tokens within 2 weeks timeframe may be unobtainable! The low drop chance from event mobs to drop tokens doesn't really help 🤔
and 2020 for CO is going to be a huge Event revamp Rehash! AGAIN! End my Misery
Eh, I've been lazily doing the event and I have 491 coins, so it's entirely conceivable that if I keep up my current rate I could have 2000 in 2 weeks. Someone more dedicated would be even more likely to reach that total.
Now that you've tried to predict the year only 2 weeks in can I meme you to death? o3o
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Trying to get 3 Colossus kills each day (except of the first day after maintance) and the bonus tokens from the special costume weeklies
I hope you restore that in the future, but please keep the AF drops low as they are now so that the titles are something to achieve, not just another thing to get because you might as well because you have an entire bank-tab full of the damn AFs after all.
Are you sure about that?
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Than try to get 2000 coins in two weeks for this event? Absolutely. Thankfully I don't have to do that, in fact I've already got everything I want from the event store, so I don't really need to try for another coin, but if I my options were quit the game or reach 2000 coins I'd quit the game. That's an easy choice.
Okay. You know that's not a choice you have to make tho, right? Just making sure.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Lol, of course, I don't hate the game, I hate this particular event.
Cool. I got lucky and the one thing I wanted dropped on like day 3 or day 4 so I haven't been doing it since then. Maybe you'll get lucky too.
