So... let's say I make a new character. Will I have to buy an aura for him, even though he'll (theoretically) have a power which would have, in the past, given him an aura for free? Like let's say I build a guy with Fire Form... will I have to buy the Fire Aura with questonite to make him look the way he would have yesterday?
And I'm probably one of the few players who actually uses different builds. Will the auras switch when I change builds? One of my alts uses Fire Form AND Ice Form... but I don't get two Aura Tokens, correct? To make him work the way he did yesterday, will I have to buy a secondary aura?
Is there any way to transfer tokens between characters? I've got one guy who needs two auras, and another guy who shouldn't have any auras... Is there any way for guy B to give his token to guy A?
Honestly, this just seems overly complicated and designed to just make us spend more money. Why weren't these done as part of the Costume interface, and unlocked per account? This system punishes those of us who have multiple alts.
Every character, current or ever to be made, will get one free legacy aura token to be used at the legacy vendor in ren cen. Additional legacy auras for each character will cost Q, but you still get that one free to compensate for the visuals being removed from your passives.
Personaly, this whole system should have been implemented in the tailor somehow rather than being equippable items to make things simpler. But who knows if that would have been easier on the technical side.
Bugs:
1. you only have to kill one of the giant robots instead of both as you did in previous years
2. the granfather winter gear STILL doesn't scale to level, it is stuck at the level you get it.
3. Got killed in final battle and no name on list and no prize

NOPE!
It was the same back then when it was still a Mission Intsance, you had to defeat 1 of the robots, not both of them!

Possible bug: Krackle Aura Hands (Black) seem to be much more like a black blob on the hands than how it looked on the PTS. Also, when used in the "in combat" slot, when leaving combat it seems to decrease in the number of dots in several stages before disappearing.
Also, another Christmas Event without the Toy Teddy Bears parts Unlockable... This makes me a Sad Panta!! :C

What were they supposed to look like? Because I'm using a Lightning aura on Short Circuit, and a Fire aura on Backfire, and my only complaint is that I can't throttle the Fire aura back to something a little less obnoxious. (I was able to ameliorate the issue, however, by changing the color. And may I take a moment to say how nice it is that even Silvers get to change the aura colors...)

On PTS there were fire and lightning auras that you could apply to just parts of your body (like Krackle, etc). E.g. you could have flaming fists and lightning feet.

You get it from the Aura tailor behind the tailors in Rencen.
The Aura slots are...kind of expensive. Especially considering that a lot of us have over 30 toons that we may want auras on and even duplicate auras. The 475 Zen for 5 items we have to repurchase is also bit over the top. I am aware that they can be exchanged between our characters.
The difference here is that a costume set unlocks for all my characters and I don't need to repurchase the costume set for every toon I want to put those costume pieces on.
So please, at least cut the prices in half.
Charging 600 Zen for a fully decked out character is a lot more reasonable than the price of two character slots (1400).
I'll agree that the prices for the Aura packs being equal to a Costume Pack makes the Auras expensive since they are items that get equipped to one character only while costume parts are for everybody. It would be nice to see them cheaper.
I will say though, that the Aura Slots and Aura Storage prices are at a good value.
Ego form aura- the person wearing it doesn't seem to be able to see it but others can.
I thought it might be the persons settings but I just got it and,... nothing
Does anyone have it who can see it on themselves?
I have it in the laways on slot, about to try in combat slot
no cant see anything with it in there either.
The fluffy hood is really nice

Did you try trading the Fire aura in for a Rank 1 or 2 version? The ones the vendor sells default at Rank 3, you can get the 'weaker' versions from her after picking one up with your token.

I went back to her, and there didn't seem to be a lower-rank Fire aura. Multiple ranks for several Auras, but not that one. (Probably a couple of others as well - I didn't do an exhaustive search.)

Guess they weren't ready? Or planned for drops? I was wondering the same thing when I logged on.
I didn't see them working worse then the other auras in any way on PTS. I am really happy with the auras in general, but I was looking forward to the lightning aura the most.

Stormbringer is R3 only as well, not that it bothers me much. Just FYI.

Because they need to make every aura to fit on every weapon?
Make the scaling work.
Maybe to figure how to make the Fire Aura Weapon burn who it hits. The Ice Aura Weapon to chill it's targets.
Reason why the old weapon skins are being hold back?
So, maybe later.
Let's hope so.
They just got the basic Aura system to Live in time. Like it was promised.

All slotted passives have had their effects removed. You can now buy these effects as Legacy Auras from the new Legacy Aura Vendor in Renaissance Center. All characters get one Legacy Aura for free.
that better?
They have 1 token section for youto get your free one per character
It still boggles me that we DIDN'T got the Teddy Toy Bear's costume parts again this year! >3>
Come on Cryptic make those parts available, the bear head could make an adorable Panda!
it's adorable seeing them!

The Legacy Aura Vendor is located near the Tailors in RenCen, just clockwise of the Nemesis terminal. She's standing on one of those raised squares, the same as Karneeki the Magnificent and the stars vendor at the ends of the awning.

Damage dealt to the surviving mecha-soldier, in the Holiday alert, doesn't seem to count for participation.
I'm confused. { nothing new here } But I did not see where our heroes are supposed to go to get this Free Legacy Aura token?

^ THIS.
I was just about to post about this!
I am very grateful to the person(s) who got the following art done:
- Congress of Selves *UNIQUE* Icon (After I'd been harping on about it since release of the power)
- Earth Form *UNIQUE* Icon - Appreciated step up from the placeholder which went LIVE
- Fluidity's *UNIQUE* Icon
I do hope that we can get some more!
(Mind Break still doesn't have one as it shares Ego Blast's, Mental Storm still shares Ego Sprite's Icon)
