Whoops, my daily timer for the mission hadn't reset yet..
Interesting change! Guess now people actually have a better reason to look forward to these Cosmic Event weeks when they do happen.
I have to agree. I was waiting for the last day to make sure to get all the tokens I could. Lost power then internet due to the winter storm that blew through. Would be nice but I understand.

But where are these ski suit costumes from? I didn't see them in the event shop.
i feel dumb for not reading that part in the zen store part of these very patch notes.
To be honest, it is rare they do such separately if it not is a quick fix. So we expect it like normal on Patch day as always and not on a day after. More like a habit than a mistake I guess even if noted down, and we read over it due to that.

Easily done. Don't fret it dude 🙂
In the news, it shows the rewards for this week and one of the pictures looks like a hood to go with the ski suit:
But its not listed in the release notes and not in the store. Is this coming next week then and just got included in the pictures on accident?
That's what you do all of them.

like I know you used to be able to sell some toys to the toy master for extra currency, back when they were rewards, but now these action figures are straight up punishment. It's the devs coming over to your house and tipping over your garbage can and saying "That's what you get for playing our game!", action figures aren't a reward, they're tidying up.
I have seen the Fixer and the Toy Master both having quests for them, even that I am sure I have all, 5 Winter Charm for each quest, unsure if those are repeatable since no "!" appears over them at all like usual. Since they also changed the parts having the mission itself on them also years ago.
I'm not talking about toy parts, those you can craft into action figures for currency, I'm talking about the action figures you get as punishment for doing the March of the Mecha Toy Soldiers
My bad then, yeah, those are always odd since you can't sell them in the AH also, they should have an option, so you can exchange them for currency as you said. They make odd changes at times and going back in development at times or moving things around, so they are harder to get them before. It is making things harder to grind for the sake of grind, or dumb decisions like no monthly sub option for people anymore, I mean why? You not want money?
Instead, as sad it may sound, but it feels they try to scam us with Questonite and Zen sometimes, the main store currency is basically worthless in a free to play game. While most updates seem just making grind harder for the sake of grind, but open lockboxes with only a mild chance of Drifter Salvage, which also is barely useful now, since most costumes got moved to the Trader pack as example also. Which also was before stuff you dropped for, you know, playing the game? Crafting such till the horrible fusion system came. Instead of being an addition I not see why I needed to replace it and rework stuff that needed rework.
A lot of things turn me of this game, but I still enjoy the customization, but by god, some decisions I seriously question if they are wrong in their head. Because not even EA or Ubisoft would make such a decision and turn back content into such. Such a turn back of things that got established and evolved. On the other hand, the AAA companies and titles also sell us stuff that used to be part of the game of that you could unlock, so I guess they are on the same level as them now.
Anyone remembers when F2P were always questionable and AAA had differences clear as day? Now I not see any difference in most games today anymore. Those CEOs and Manages making such decisions would literally sell their own grandmother for money if they can monetize it in a way, or sell the literal air we breathe.

Block timing explained
I've sold nearly a hundred over the past few days, though I did put them up for 10 L each. May seem like no one wants them but clearly, there are people who do. Probably won't go towards the end of the event though.
- The Overlord
selling them for 10 L means you're getting nothing as the AH fee is 10 L, so that's more work than just dropping them.
That is simply what I put them up for, you can try to sell them for a profit if you want. Though if you can't and making others happy isn't worth a few minutes of your time, then go ahead and drop them. Just know that the option to do something useful with them is there.
