Just wondering if the rewards for the new alert might not be working properly. Done the alert a couple of times now and the dragon bag thing hasnt had anything in it. Checked my inventory currencies page and my normal inventory. nothing.
Alert is fun. My favorite yet. But will get old fast without any rewards.
EDIT: anyone else think that 750 resources at level 40 is weird ?
My first one was empty too, the second one had like 200 Q in it.
On a related note.. aren't these samurai bits the same as the ones from the costume set?

Or maybe you just haven't gotten anything yet? jeez you already expect rewards this early?
Not sure what thats supposed to mean. Pretty sure I didnt piss in your cheerios this morning.
All Im saying is that in most games Ive seen a drop from a boss isnt supposed to be empty.
If he just hadnt dropped anything at all...well thats different. Lots of bosses in games dont drop sometimes. But if there is a drop, and its empty, seems weird.
Then you figure the resource reward. less than one national.
Do have a question though, how many bags of any other sort in game have zero content (bought weapon skins with drifter salvage no problem) ?
Next question, if the bags have zero content why go after them ?
Play games for fun. Rewards are nice extras. But content will never get released as fast as people play it. Rewards help motivate folks to repeat alerts and such. If there arent any...
So you didn't get anything at all as a reward then? Ah, well now that just sounds like bad luck, considering that others have posted that they got rewards.

I've gotten two costume pieces (the old Samurai Z-Store set), various Q amounts (200 to 700 so far), and a teammate got an unlimited use Hi-Pan Dragon Staff (Gigabolt).
Oh, and I've also gotten 2 bags containing absolutely nothing (although CO 'freezes' for just a second or so as if it's thinking).

I am thinking that those empty bags are supposed to be Hi-Pan's armor... but the drop its bugged... somehow I am getting that feeling.
So far I've got the staff as a limited charge device... Q and the Z-Store samurai pieces... and Ive run this babe for 2 hours straight.

Did it twice, got a Samurai hip pad from one of the beginning mobs, 200 Q in each of 2 bags, and 750 per run. The Alert was fun, the visuals very nice, but the resource reward is insulting.

I have also gotten an empty box. I assume this is a bug.
It's a bug, but you got the dragon armor for it. Just search for Dragon in your costume search function will list the dragon item stuff. There are a couple of pieces from previous sets with dragon in them, but you should be able to make out the dragon armor easily. There are 6 pieces in total, that I know of;
That's what those empty bags were? At least we're getting something.
The problem though is that you can get duplicates. And the duplicates are automatically consumed, so you can still end up getting nothing in the end.
It's not like say, the Samurai set you can get off of the mobs in the instance, where you have an item you can either use or sell. The Dragon pieces just go poof into the wind.
I was wondering this exact same thing...had a delayed bag pop after I used my supply kit and got like 5k questionite which was awesome...but then had 4 bags pop nothing. If we are getting costume pieces then that is a plus and just means the system message is bugged or something similar.
I checked my costume list and lo, there were two Dragon Armor pieces in there (yay! Helm and Bracers). Just gonna be annoying until they fix that message.
Actually, even this doesn't protect you from not having anything. Unless I'm so unlucky that even after a dozen of runs, I only get the staff or the chest armor everytime
So with this alert they try again to invent something like bind on pickup items ?
Looks like they did it better than within the first Comic Series, since i saw no
protests so far.

I'm guessing that it's supposed to drop a BoE (like the Samurai bits from the random mobs in the instance) but for whatever reason, it's not dropping an item and instead auto-consuming them. Why you end up with absolutely nothing sometimes (as you already have it).

The way drop rates for costumes are in this game you'd be quite lucky if you got two drops in two dozen runs anyway, so maybe it's only hurting the item farmers...

we had a Dev on line yesterday, he said they were supposed to pop up in bags. he also knows about the spelling error on the chest peice - dargon. and that the shoulders don't show in the shoulder list, only in the blue box area.
yes we all told him that a message saying we got a costume peice would be useful
I've got the
shoulders- nice.
helmet- headbutt special wiht those horns.
chest- metal bikini top on a female
belt- world championship wrestling comes to mind. It's HUGE
It's a shame that there's all these bugs and quirks with the rewards, this is a great mission but it just seems they can't get an error free addition to the game these days.

Correct.
Just keep in mind that if the RNG gives you the same costume unlock again, it goes Poof! into the wind.

You should also mention to him that the gem on the chest piece doesn't have it's glow activated to match that of the helmet.
1. samurai bracers
2. Q
3. Q
4. 3 charge staff
5. Q
6. Q
7. nothing, and that graphic "skip"
8. nothing, and that graphic "skip"
Seems like a bug, not a feature.

I did get an item . . . the "Dargon Chest".
Seems like it isn't bugged after all, just spelled wrong.
