Where it happens
What happens
Please stay on topic in this PTS thread. We use bug reports from this thread to decide whether a PTS build is ready to go live, and so we need to make sure we're seeing everything in it. Please do discuss the changes, but if you find yourself writing about something that isn't specific to what's on PTS, then that should probably go here:
http://forum.arcgames.com/championsonline/categories/gameplay-bugs1.
These player & moderator maintained threads are checked weekly by the development team. The costume one probably needs to be updated.

I am super happy with this massive range of costume fixes.
Also, glad to see Nighthawk come back. Currency is a great thing, though some will complain about (heavens!) having to scroll through the currency list. I am happy to see currency instead of rare tokens or drifter salvage.
Kudos.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.

THIS IS THE BEST PTS UPDATE WE GOT IN YEARS!

The costume unlocks are grayed out in the onslaught store, even if you don't have them unlocked yet.
Franklin Stone Alert is not active on test for testing.
Quality of Life
The Onslaught Villain Vendor in Westside has a spawn of Nighthawk thugs right next to it. May wish to consider moving them.
Suggestion:
Considering moving the Nighthawk repeatable mission from Defender to Lady Nighthawk for simplicity sake. The dialog box for Nighthawk Investigation Frequency would have to be updated for this but I think it would be a lot easier if we are going to start having special event NPCs for these events.
Personal Opinion
Permanent sidekick is cool and all, but the fact it can be easily defeated and only has a 15 minute duration with a 5 minute cool down. I am not sure I care for that limited duration part.
Can confirm. The costumes are greyed out and not able to be purchased.

Looking forward to if any Power Fixes, we all know this game needs some more fixing.
I take this quote from a review that I agree with.
"customisation is so linear; everyone is after the optimal dps:survivability ratio with 0 reliance on other players = autonomous gameplay... Players don't need each other anymore... which in my opinion is a bad thing."
Not sarcasm, this is truly an amazing quality of life improvement from my perspective.
So with Avian Warrior being basically a pack now, does that mean that it applies to characters during creation finally? Its always been a hassle having to enter play prior to having them on the list rather then apply these parts during the original design.
Also regarding the below (really all the many costume changes, but especially the below)... wow!
But I'll just take your word for it at this point

They're fixing broken, screwed up costumes that have been broken and screwed up since the game launched!?
Mind=Blown.
Also cloth/leather textures for full helmet side accs and ventilator tech/smoth side accs would also be nice.
Dragon armor belt eye still not coloring independently, or glowing for that matter.
I had some other ideas but cant remember =p.
VERY GOOD WORK THOUGH SO HAPPY
Bug:
Lower Bird People tights is not customizable like the upper tights
Excellent work.
@dr490nbr347hi / Playing since January 25, '11
Display normal Internet behavior. Come and make fun (yes, make fun) of my PRIMUS page.
So many things.. the Mechaniste Backpack and Permanent Sidekicks.
Please add my voice to the chorus of people wanting a few more Permanent Sidekicks to start. I know you're probably testing to see if they sell, before investing too much work in them. I've literally wanted this since I started playing!!! I'll probably buy Windchill just to support the effort. I think R.O.D. would be nice as second choice though. And maybe more later if it's a success?
I have to admit - the only thing that would make a perm sidekick better would be for them to lose the 15-min duration timer. I've always wanted them to work more like "Away Team" crew in STO. Not sure if that's asking too much. But them being a permanent toggle that lasted until de-toggled would be very nice.
Cat(lion tiger etc), or a bird(hawk etc) just throwing it out there
Bug: Can't get Circumstantial Evidence to complete daily? I thought the mobs in the events dropped it, but they don't appear to be dropping any.
Bug: The First two items in Men's Hair (Mohawk/Feather Plume) weren't alphabetized.
Other things:
I love all the costume updates. Still hoping for leg hair diffuse, but the lion skin options are super sweet~! I can't wait to check out the dragon armor changes.
Oh Yeah, livestream.

It's missing leather textures.
IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS COME EARLY
Any chance we can get the fantasy mantle added to the bunch of mantles that don't require capes? If not I almost don't even care just because of ALL THIS STUFF??????????
No seriously, I'm almost crying at all these fixes and changes. I love you.
I have to say, Im looking forward to the Perm Sidekicks, but for sure, we're getting all sidekicks we got in the Z-Store perm right?, I'm really hopeing for a Perm R.O.D!
Also Feedback:
I love it, always wanted Perm Sidekicks, but it whuold be nice, that if we chuold have the Sidekicks, we got from events, such as the Mechanon ones, as Perm as well, but as long the Z-Store ones are all Perm (S.O.D) I'm happy.
Now AI on pets, and sidekick still needs adjusting, sure someone in the comments can point them out better, then me. And other thing I disprove of is, the 15mins out-time, does that mean, how long they will last until vanishing?, It be nice if that was much MUCH longer, or Perm. Just of course with a bigger Cool-down.
Edit: Also are we getting a sidekick system by any chance?, to make our own, or is this just a teaser?
