The various Fireworks daily missions will now drop once the day they are active has passed. If you have completed the mission, you will still be able to turn it in.
The various Fireworks missions now share a linked cooldown, and can only be taken once the previously completed mission is off cooldown.

The Aggressive Anti-Daily stacking is crazy!

Now we are not only forced to log in every daily exactly to complete the daily but we are being punished for stacking non-alert dailies as well

Where is the Whiteout event mission for the emote? Or is it baked into the one you get from Defender? Some people have completed Whiteout but didn't get the emote and can't find that it has been unlocked.

The restrictive daily wouldn't be so bad if the event lasted 3 weeks. Having to do 10 in 14 days leaves you little to no room to miss any.

So you can't get the emote event mission for Whiteout on a character that has done the original Whiteout before. The players are the real QA team.

Characters that have already completed the mission ones before can't acquire the "Patriot Event: whiteout series" mission , only characters that are new or character's that haven't done whiteout yet can only acquire it, so in other words you have to either do the mission on an new character or on another character where you haven't ever completed on.

The new emote requirements don't have any sense. If all your characters already have the mission completed from before, you have to create 5 new characters DURING the event... I would understand if it was any character, or if it was a permanent addition, but new ones during the event? I really hope this was not intended and a patch is coming soon for this...

First, before i plan out how i will make all my dailies when does the event end?
The news blurb says:
"Make sure you participate in the Patriot's Celebration as it will only be available until July 13th at 8 AM PT."
That is a Saturday, does it end on the regular update day of Thursday July 11th or Saturday July 13th?

For planning out your dailies, do them on several characters on a day you have time, preferably early in the event.
Then turn them in on those characters on days you don't have time to actually complete the mission.
This of course means you still have to log in but it should be for only 5 min or less on those days.
That is if this Statement holds true:
"...If you have completed the mission, you will still be able to turn it in."

The CO team is clearly trying to up their number of daily Log-ins, possibly to justify the continued existence of the team, or to get more funding for future updates. If at all possible please support them in this. Corporate bean counters love their numbers going up up up!

Is there actually a sale on purchasing zen? I am not seeing the 20% discount in the store. Just the regular bonuses.

Very concerned about "Very Concerned" perk ... done like 5 runs on 5 alts and still it says 2/5

I did the Patriot Event: Whiteout Series with 5 characters last night (it must taken around 4 hours which while watching YouTube videos on the side made it a Breeze) and I got the account wide emote

All I have to say: Don't forget to Relog/change instance/go to your hideout on the character who unlocked the Emote Perk, so the Account Wide unlock progress can tick it

ALWAYS relog when you unlock emotes/transformations so the perk system can track it!

Remember: The game keeps loading/refresh the perk list every time you change instance
If you didn't got a message after taking the rewards from the mission that you "Unlocked the Worried Emote", the perk list hasn't load that perk yet, you will have to wait for it!

yeah did all that cuz i already knew... the relog option has issues of it's own so i never do that. what did work was changing instance 3 times (worked twice), so now at 4/5 as i should be minus the one alt that the whiteout mission bugged out on

Yep. Definitely not seeing anything other than the normal Zen bonus. I guess the extra bonus is broken or someone forgot to turn it on. Maybe it will be available for 2nd week.

Please, increase the chance of dropping Emotes and Transformations!
