Last Chance for Forum Malvanum - Return of Nighthawk

trailturtletrailturtle Posts: 5,496 Perfect World Employee
edited June 2013 in Super News Network
This week is the last chance to play the Forum Malvanum story arc. Make sure to cram in your last few gladiatoral battles before Thursday -- when the Nighthawk special event returns!


The Forum Malvanum story arc has been a great adventure, and now it's rotating out for a while. The two race courses and the alert will no longer be available starting on Thursday after maintenance.

That doesn't mean that there won't be any cool events for your hero to triumph over, though. Starting on Thursday sometime after maintenance, the Nighthawk special event returns. Uncover the truth as the once-Champion Nighthawk gets framed as a villain!


Didn't get all the rewards from the Forum Malvanum? Don't worry - it's going to come back in a periodic events rotation. Always keep your eyes peeled to see what's coming up in Champions Online!

    Is there still a chance for it to award a Hawkwing? I don't even insist it be one of the highly-valued Prototypes... :)

    Or at least the costume unlocks from the C-Store Nighthawk pack that I see in the AH from time to time?

    My wild guess is that the Nighthawk Grab Bag from the old event is gone, to be replaced with the new Nighthawk Lock Box, with similar contents to the original bag.

    Well I guess that Nighthawk thing, again, is better than nothing, like, I dont know, actual new permanent content.

    Re: rewards, this will be the version of the event after the grab bag was removed. This'll be the version that gives Questionite.

    I'm glad this is finally happening, and i'd hope the prototype hawks are removed. Also... what will be after nighthawk? Omega Destroid event? I'm still hoping to get a backup since the event was canned very early

    When the Nighthawk event returns, will it be the full event? I couldn't complete last time b/c the final quest was bugged, would love to try it again.

    ^ THIS! I need those eyes so bad, are they gonna come back TT? or maybe something similar with the aura slots when we get them?

    Don't think they'll bring it back as an event in rotation as there wasn't even a mission/alert to go with it. :S

    Aaaaand... yes, another link that lands me in limbo because the website feels a need to redirect me to some non-existant de.perfectworld.eu subdomain.

    Can you please tell the web team to bloody deactive the damn redirect scripts for CO already? It doesn't have alternate (language) versions of pages, for cryin' out loud.

    You mean the Destroid invasion from the anniversary? We're planning to get to that one eventually, but not just yet.

    I've been looking forward to this, I was unavailable to participate last time it came around, which sucked because I really wanted a permanent Backup Witchcraft or Sapphire device.

    Also, if you're looking into rewards, can you PLEASE give PvP a Questionite reward daily and increase the reward for the long adventure packs (especially Aftershock). It's a lot of fun, but it's next to impossible to find a team of people who want to go because it's doesn't have a reward that makes it worth it. Not a hard thing to change, we've been asking since the Nighthawk patch came out initially.
    Do you have several level 40s?
    Consolidate the currencies! (Please!)
    Does your Champion have a theme song? (share it!)
    Got a funny in-game screenshot? (share it!)
    Please fix the Overdrive energy unlock! (Should help promote thematic build diversity!)

    100+ Round 10 wins... ZERO action figures.

    Countless failures.

    Frankly, I don't care if that POS ever sees the light of day again. :frown:

    Yes, thats the one, i understand it may be a while... i just hope that "may be a while" does happen at some point though. I heard we were getting a new studio so i guess that's hopeful, when will they actually take over?

    Cryptic Studio North came fully on board in December of 2012. They have been working on CO (plus STO and NW) for the past six months, if not longer since they were collaborating before then. The question is how long before they are familiar with the game engine and code.

    So... they were already in charge, or was the previous studio still running the show while showing them the systems?

    That is the real question.

    Optimists think that this new studio has been getting their proverbial feet wet by tweaking code in CO, STO, and NW. Once they have become familiar with the Cryptic game engine, they can begin to address issues of bugs, game balance, and added content for which we have been clamoring. And we will soon have a new renaissance.

    Skeptics think they have been working on CO for the past six months and we are going to get more of the same. Temporary events and lockboxes with some updates such as new Telepathy powers and Auras.

    Time will tell.

    I should point out the unofficial announcement of this new studio stated that Cryptic Studios North had been working on STO and NW in addition to CO but would now be concentrated on CO.

    that was pretty mch what i was worried for when you said they were actually old news by now, i only learned the other day about the north studio and thought they were still being set up, expecting things to improve when they do take over and having more than 2 devs

    I may be misleading you with my interpretation, here's a link to the article at Gamasutra:

    To my understanding, the reward for this is Questionite.
