Please stop releasing limited time key bundles with costumes/powers.

Also, no fix for the Nighthawk drifter salvage purchase price...?

I think the exchange is a very important bug...especially with Anniversary around the corner.

Another Boring weekly update with no significant value!​​

Weird choice but okay.

Did you really expect a big update with anniversary right around the corner? :P

And I still want my trade paperback week! >:c

I don't know how the Lionfish Tights made it to live when they're rife with artifacting/bleeding/pixelating.



Maxed graphic settings and this is how it turns out? It makes any of the glow effects awful to look at because they just bleed into other colour sections.



I expect a little pixelating when I go hard on the glow on a black surface but geez that's just ridiculous. Compare that to something like the Arcane Tattoos or Spinal Glow tights which don't pixelate nearly as badly. Goes without saying too that they don't bleed at all when they're just flat colours.

ealford1985

I’m not surprised at all.

Less than 12 hours on PTS and Straight to live does that
Constantly​​

I expect to see more meaningful bug fixes and power buffs to fill the long waiting dreadful gaps on power balances

I absolutely agree. This is a really big issue!

Does the set even have matching gloves and feet? This quality for essentially a "paid" set is very concerning.

Yeah... There are some nasty lingering bugs. I have resumed working on my suggested alien physiology framework for what it's worth!

Nope.

spordelia

I mean, seriously. Who comes up with this stuff?

championsrper

Lionfish pattern... Cuz everyone was asking for that.

When we ask for more tight patterns, this is not what we meant.

Fish tail? No.
Lower leg fins? No.
Fins for hands or feet? Nope.
More back fins.

How about making something we don't already have like 3 variations of?

avianos

To be fair, those are the costume parts the Final Boss of Serene Abyss is using (Life in Hiding)

So except in the future the other Unique costume pieces he is having to be released in a similar way

He also has some distiguished looking fins that are nothing with what we have right now

spordelia

I don’t know why people are so surprised re: the low quality of it all. Where have you been for the last 5 years or so?

I mean, there’s one pack in the Z-store, Heroic Hair – which I did purchase in support of the idea of similar packs, because I’m an idiot – which should’ve NEVER been released in the state it was. Serious, glaring issues, stab-own-eye-with-nearest-sharp-object kind of. Just, a bunch of bad wigs from Party City that you throw up in the air and wear however they land. And then there’s also the forced, dirty-looking textures to give these newer hairstyles at least some fake semblance of depth and dimension, since their geometry isn’t that… good.:(

And that pack was in the PTS for how long, two whole days?

Preach.

themightyzenith

I agree with others here.Very niche idea for a tights pattern and shoddy execution to boot.

We don't need overly fussy and niche tights, we need more basic shapes and patterns with actual matching long gloves and boots patterns and some more basic cowl models, not to mention more patterns for basic subligars that we can mix and match. And no, the basic ones we already have are not enough.... not nearly enough

Devs are just throwing us a bone so we get distracted while they focus on upcoming recycled new "content" for Anniversary. Better to save your energy for something else.

So, since the super news network no longer gets posts related to the news items, is this the right place for questions about the 'dress up Kael' costume contest?

spookyspectre

I like how the tights look, especially with the abstract, organic shapes. Can't comment on the quality until I get them but excited to try them out. We'll see..

If it isn't, your post will just be deleted.
