Bloodmoon

• Added perks for lighting pumpkins scattered around Millennium City and Vibora Bay.
• Added perk for collecting all Ghost Hunter costume pieces.
• Added device version of Broomstick flight. Unlocking the travel power (you don't have to own the travel on the character, it just needs to be unlocked) will grant you access to broom customization on the device version.
• Fixed an issue where emotes and powers could be used while using the Broomstick Flight travel power.
• You can now interact with contacts while using the Broomstick Flight travel power.
• Broomstick Flight sound update.
• Fixed shininess on Broomstick flight model.
• Added additional speed tier for Broomstick Flight.

Devices

• Made a bunch of under the hood changes to most devices. This should not have any effect on them, but if you notice a device acting differently than it was prior to this change please report it.
• Fixed an issue where the Flamethrower device automatically slotted itself in your power tray.

Recognition Store

• Added Ghosthunter Phase Rifle power variant device to the recognition store. This requires the Ghost Hunter perk to purchase.
• Added Flaming Pumpkin power variant device to the recognition store. This requires the Guiding Light (light 100 pumpkins) perk to purchase.
• Both devices can be traded once purchased.

Misc

• Change to help with game performance.
• Added perk for collecting all Vigilante costume pieces.

You can now interact with contacts while using the Broomstick Flight travel power.

Awesome, thank you

Fixed an issue where the Flamethrower device automatically slotted itself in your power tray.

W H Y!? That wasn't an issue, that was a FEATURE!
If Anything Power Variation devices should have the option to be slotted on the power tray to be more Gamepad user friendly​​

So the non combat TP door has been opened to new possibilities you say?

You can now interact with contacts while using the Broomstick Flight travel power.

Is it possible for both the Scarab Flight, and the Bats Flight TPs from the Q-Store to receive the same treatment in the future?

avianos

Account Wide perks-titles for unlocking costume sets is very nice idea and extra reward, I like it! In the future I hope we can get more Titles for the oldest costumes

Recognition Store
Added Ghosthunter Phase Rifle power variant device to the recognition store. This requires the Ghost Hunter perk to purchase.
Added Flaming Pumpkin power variant device to the recognition store. This requires the Guiding Light (light 100 pumpkins) perk to purchase.
Both devices can be traded once purchased.

So you just need to get the Ghosthunter perk, which is account wide so any character (old and new) can start farming for the device
and you can just get a single or multiple characters to get the Guiding Light perk so they can have access on it any time and farm resources (300 SCR + 150 GCR) ... that's more limited but works around it

How many pumpkins does it take for the Perk's progress to show up? EDIT: Jack-o'-Lantern is the first progress perk (10/10)

Added Ghosthunter Phase Rifle power variant device to the recognition store. This requires the Ghost Hunter perk to purchase.

I remember this power replacement!
ONCE AGAIN! I HAVE TO COMPLAIN what is wrong with those Devices' pop up information boxes?
Power Variant Devices are becoming common as I can see for the future and this needs to change!
I cannot view critical information unless I complety screw up my resolution

Suggestion: If it's too late to modify the size and format of Device pop up descripions, Perhaps consider adding the Tooltop information of devices on Power (P) window, Just like you did with Costume transformations

Fixed an issue where the Flamethrower device automatically slotted itself in your power tray.

Secondary: once again having constantly to use the device tray to keep the power active is extremely hostile to gamepad users! For attack+movement I have to make an ankward Claw gusture with my left hand to hold down the Left-Dpad and the left analogue stick to move

THIS IS WHY I suggested PVD Devices' power icon to get automatically slotted like the Flamethrower device on the power tray, as a quality of life for Theme builds which are gonna build for the PVD devices and want access to the power tray
and then you complety killed Flamethrower's feature!?
What is this? ಠ_ಠ​​

avianos

And here where I lead to, building Theme builds using the PVD!
U-MD Ghosthunter Phase Rifle, I remember the power replacement this is based on
Testing it on a quick DPS build (DCU and rank 9 Ascii), Rank 3 Sumachinegun Burst, Ego Form and constantly refreshing Mental Leech's Stress

Still concenrned how those devices benefit fully from Powerframe-exlusive passives like Targeting Computer and Composure, I guess they are tagged as Technology? or it's all about the Main primary powers they get boosted from?

The results are pretty darn nice and impressive
It feels kinda off having basically a Telepathy-Telekinesis builds with a rank 3 Munition power on the tray just being there

This is default, the weapon changes when you edit it on tailor with whatever you set!
Unfortunately only owning the device doesnt open the weapon skin on tailor

Still not friendly with gamepad users, is there any command to apply Devices activations on power trays? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻​​

phasestar

Love it, thanks for adding the Ghostbusters rifle!

avianos

Last things I want to add for tonight!
For everyone looking forward to, both the Broomstick flight TP and the Device are in the Bloodmoon vendor for 1000 tokens Each

I REALLY Appriciate the Murder of Crows PUNS and Dracul's opening line with the Transformation perks

As for testing if those account wide perks work... hard to do with 2 Characters limit on PTS
Actually the transformations are not even available in the Debugger for testing​​

Bug
Jack-o'-Lantern perk
When completing the Jack-o'-Lantern perk (for lighting 10 pumpkins), the title "This is Halloween" is granted instead-- that title is already given for trick-or-treating 50 times.

Lost Soul, for lighting 50 pumpkins, does give the correct title.

pantagruel01

There's a minor problem that the Ghost Hunter perk already exists and is easy to get (kill 1,000 evil spirits).

avianos

In that case I have a Suggestion: Consider giving the perk: EXTREME GHOST HUNTER instead since Ghost Hunter is already available to avoid duplicate titles

It was a good cartoon show​​, it deserves a reference

Bug
Vigilante Tights
On the test server, the chestwear "Armor Tight Basic" doesn't have the option for Vigilante Tights pattern or detail. On live, it certainly does!

legendarylycan

well, i guess they'll just have to rename the kill perk to Ghostbuster (assuming that one doesn't also already exist), since they can't very well rename the costume perk as the name of the costume set is Ghost Hunter - unless they want to also rename the costume set, which i don't see happening since that's extra work renaming multiple things as opposed to renaming one thing

EDIT: or just name it Who ya gonna call? - that works too​​
