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.

    Hehe, "Frozen" Lockboxes. Looks like we can't just "let it go".

    Anyway, it might be wise to mention the info on the hoverboards in the tool tip/description.

    I still think the Ice Storm aura should have the legacy ice form aura effect removed. Without that you can use it for themes than just ice, it could work like a nice sandstorm for instance. The legacy ice aura effect can be added for anyone that wants it by just getting one from the legacy aura vendor.

    Bug?:
    Forms do not affect Fractal Aegis' damage.

    I must agree. With the combination of the icy body plus snow effect, it is perhaps less versatile.

    I agree as well. Make the snow effect a tad stronger and remove the ice covering it puts on players.

    BUG: Aurora Aura drops from the lockbox already bound to account.

    I can't discard any of the new Auras from inventory. Need someone to confirm.

    boxes also aren't dropping drifter salvage or booster boxes.


    Side note. The drop rate for the permanent sidekick is horrible. As bad as vehicles. And it also makes a PSA when someone wins it.

    We'll get the first and third issue fixed before the lockbox goes live. The not being able to discard them is intentional so that people don't discard them on accident (you can trade or sell your extras on the exchange). Thanks for the report!

    Confirming that Aurora Aura binds to account upon winning it from lockbox and the Drifter Salvage/Booster box not dropping.

    I'm glad that the Vtol Packs drop you unbound versions of the unlocks so that if you can unlocked the TP already from another pack you can trade the base unlock to others. I can't wait to see how much the skins in the Q store unlock for.

    I'd like to see all travel powers convert to this choosing the skin in the tailor so we can choose what skin we want per costume as long as it matches the travel power type we chose in the Power Trainer.​​

    Items that can't be trashed need a value so they can at least be sold to a vendor, even if they can be traded to other players.

    This here^^
    I still have Flag Speed stuck on a bunch of toons.

    As far as the PSA announcement goes on getting a rare item from a box--yeah, that's staying.

    Can you not move the auras into your main's aura storage? Or is that freeform only?

    Is it possible that we could get the unkempt and standard hair styles along with all these other ones to use with Heads & Hairs and Full Masks?

    I spoke to Splosions about this IG; but the starlight aura is applying a material overlay over the body when you use it. This effect is greatly amplified when you're in a dark area, using a dark TP. It causes a lot of skin distortion in particular; it's annoying. I suppose I can live with it, if that was the intention; but I would like it adjusted. :D​​

    I was about to say about this aura
    Yeah this effect is kind of aweful, consider it made my Light Character dark... he looks like got Burned

    Really horrible, I thought it was because the character is a Robot and everything on him is Metal... but apaprently this effect is standard

    Why exactly a Starlight aura makes your character darker?​​

    There isn't a thread about the lockbox up yet so I'll just post this here:

    Is it just me or is the drop rate on the Lockbox really weird on live? I have recieved a TON of Auras, yet not a single Hoverboard. I can't really complain that out of 100 boxes, 25 were crates of Q, but still... no Hoverboards? I may have just gotten a fluke drop rate, but anyone else not get hoverboard TPs after opening a lot of boxes?

    Out of 30 boxes I got 4 auras and a bunch of mods/crates (so not a single hoverboard or fractal aegis).

    I only opened ten boxes and got a VTOL, two auras and a Loyal Sidekick. Just bad luck I suppose. Or I had the luck I wish I had on Live. Always rewarded where it doesn't count.​​
  • aiqaaiqa Posts: 2,620 Arc User
    Those numbers are from live, on PTS I am getting much better drops every time I open 30 boxes.

    Any chance you can reduce cooldown on Permanent Windchill Sidekick? Or make it a toggle like Pheromenes for example?

    Cos the problem with this thing is... it's not worth using it in majority of game's content considering how quickly it dies making it go on a super long cooldown of 5 minutes... Honestly, a super-hard to get device is so useless??? People won't be spending money on this, so i don't see why it shouldn't be buffed to AT LEAST match pheromones...
