Why?
I mean, sure, OK, no complaint, but you usually do this when something was broken and people lost an opportunity. Was something broken that I missed (besides the short-lived bugged Defender mission not paying off...I wouldn't figure you'd do it over a lost 11 Foxbat currency)?
Guess my suggestions fell on deaf ears. Was hoping this to be an AoE and the with an Adv more focus on bleeds or wounded targets, but who uses Single Blade anyways.
Could have been better if it had a Mow 'Em Down advantage like TGM or Assault Rifle. Or started as AOE and Advantaged to deal more dmg to single targets like Micro Munitions w/ Alpha Strike.
As is it's an alternate play style for Single blade from Combo+Charge attacks. Damage looks comparable to Reaper's Embrace without any bleed Ruptures.
The 15 ft lunge, while ok in most situations, could be frustrating in boss fights and cosmics where it messes with your positioning and can drag you into boss cleave range, or push other players out of the melee mosh pit.
If I had to guess, they usually release new lockboxes shortly after new keypacks or flashback events, so my guess would be they were planning on releasing a new lockbox soon but its not ready yet, hence they extend they event a week. Not complaining, Foxbatcon is one of the best events, there's sooooo much cool stuff to collect.
Epic Stronghold
Block timing explained
APRIL FOOL'S!!!!!
They fixed the Foxbat Photo mission offered by Defender to give proper currency, and they added the Wrecker AT to the event store... either of which may explain why they extended the event.

Seeing how getting foxbat currency feels like finding water in the Sahara, I'd say a more apt question is WHY is the event not 3 weeks by default? It's only around once a year and unlike the patriot event it has way more stuff to work for.
Thanks! This has my attention, now! I need that one for my freebie second account.
I mean, that's a very nice power and welcomed! I love Single Blade powerframe but i really feel the Unrevamped Powerframed needs more new powers and help, not to mention more synergies between powerframes which are lacking
From my testing it's pretty good Alternative Single target DPS compared to Bleed+Reaper's Embrace
However I do hope that in the future we gonna get a Spinning Kick power, using the spinning kick animation frame taken from the Devastating Kick ultimate! Since I see Vorpal Blade's animation was used for Relentless Pursuit
Kick should have their own tier of DPS powers by now, not being stuck only on Utility+Dodge
2. I notice only one material on weapon skins 🙄
3. Foxbat event way to boring. I can't I just can't unlock more than 2 things. 😴
I've no idea what this is trying to say?
Think he/she not likes the event and can't get him-/herself over it to play to unlock things.
Not every event needs to be a big adventure in my eyes and this is good as it is. Simply and quick, leaving you time to do other things and not have to over grind it like other events can be.
Simple for @metalheart, not like it, not play it. Critic is one thing, just saying you not like it not gives any good depth in how it could get made better.
Even for the second week where we are tasked to do Foxbats Errands it's easy but it's still too boring to do. And it's a shame because the Store has decent items.
They could Add a new mission. Where we have to fight a swarm of Foxbat wanna be's like in StE. Idk... just brainstorming.
You could have taken this as opportunity to add more Lore and Missions related to Foxbat to Develop his character and tell us a new story about his misadventures! It doesn't have to lead to an epic battle... even thought I have been requesting to give Foxbat a Mecha... that would be a nice open mission
Foxbat could try new gimmicks every year!
That's the problem with CO's events in general compared to other MMORPGS, they never expand beyond on adding just 2-4 new costumes in the store! They stagnate
and Foxbat being the worst of them since it was the event that normilized the event design go find x amount of Foxbat cosplayers, gifts, cats e.t.c
Even if it's one of those Events which you do once per day and then forget until the next day
And I rather have a calm boring event in between then having to make the game be a second job. We got enough events, especially at the start of the year, it burns you out simply and not leaves time for other content often which often is already abandoned.
Maybe instead of make new stuff, how about make stuff limited and changed like High is similar, change certain missions and open missions to fit the ongoing event instead. You know, outside of MC also, to not make all sit in one Zone as we do already all day. And not Alerts are not good content, at least if they not stick out like the Nighthawk one. While Alerts like High Noon are just another Smash.
