Cosmics
- All cosmics are now set to be an open mission. Scoring is still being worked on as well as rewards.
- Currently scoring takes into account damage you do to the cosmics, damage taken from the cosmics, and healing output on players.
- Note: We are currently unable to give credit to players using mezzing abilities. This may be something we can add in the future, but is not something we're able to integrate now.
- Teleiosaurus and Qwyjibo's respawn time has been set to 4 hours.
Kigatilik
- New Power: Frozen Tomb
Once Kigatilik is below 70% health, he can encase someone in a ice construct. Similar to Frosticus, players will have to free the player trapped inside within 10 seconds. If they do not, the player and all players within 50ft will be defeated.
- Lowered the damage on Kigatilik's hounds slightly.
- Renamed Bitter Cold to Cold of the Frost Tomb. This passive will no longer damage players initially, but will start damaging players when Kigatilik dips below 66% health and will ramp up in damage at 33% health.
Qwyjibo
- New Power: Fire Heart
When Qwyjibo dips below 66% health, can can summon 3 fiery constructs that will heal him for 1% health each every 5 seconds. When they initially spawn their healing is delayed by 10 seconds. They can be destroyed and are affected by holds.
- Qwyjibo's attacks now grant knock resistance.
- Known issue: The meteor attacks are currently not granting knock resistance.
- Qwyjibo's pbaoe attacks will now leave behind lava pits wherever players are standing. These pits deal heavy damage and are delayed about 2 seconds. These pits linger for about 25 seconds. These pits will not spawn for players within 20ft of Qwyjibo.
- Qwyjibo's fire breath now leaves behind lava pits. These pits linger for about 45 seconds.
Power Changes
- Fixed a bug where Lifedrain's R1 fx was not using the correct FX.
- Fixed a bug with Kinetic Darts that allowed them to proc Concentration stacks.
- Fixed a bug where the U238 rounds debuff was not stacking up to 3 per player.
- Fixed a bug where the Chained Kunai advantage was playing the wrong FX.
Lockbox Stamps
- Lockbox Stamps have been discontinued.
- The button will no longer display in the menu nor will the costumes appear as purchasable in the tailor.
- The costumes they granted have been moved to the collector store and can be purchased with a Purple Costume A Voucher.
Misc
- Fixed a bug where the Prankster Perk title was not actually granting a title from the Toy Master's title redemption store.
- Added Action Figures, Auras, Lockboxes and Vehicle weapons to the auction house categories.
- Added Betta Excocet to the questionite store.
- Added a word filter box in the Action Figure window. You can now filter your action figure list with keywords.

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:

This is great, any chance of getting a STOW button up at the top of the window, rather than having to filter or scroll down to your active AF to put it away. Thanks.

Kigatilik, Teleiosaurus, and Qwijybo each dispaly an open mission Team Up button.
They were all up when I looked. I am assuming that when they aren't up, a timer will appear on screen.

Major Quality of Life for AH there
and searching for your favorite AF couldn't be easier
Unfortenly i will be away next week after the patch, for easter holidays AHA I knew this was wrong
It didn't make sense for the animation chain to come out of the character's FOOT
Wildfire adv on Cleave.
reads Fire strike attack instead of Cleave

isn't kinetic darts ranged? or was it giving extra stacks?

Since Cosmics are becoming open missions, can there be a tagged on bonus objective that players not strong enough to take the cosmics head on can deal with?
The Steam Bike's boost emits a black could of smoke, not a white cloud of steam. Yeah I would think that is a way to encourage new customers to participate in the lockbox economy.
Cosmic attention is nice, but will there be a way to quickly transport heroes to their location, perhaps with a queue?
Anything that requires a team outside Ren Cen is generally near impossible to organize in a quick way.
It was a good series, sad that it got cancelled Its an ENERGY BUILDER
It shouldn't trigger Concentration in the first place
[Energy builders that deliver poison can, in a sense, proc Concentration through Aspect of the Infernal.]

I also don't think we need a "queue" or zone announcement for the cosmics. The open missions are part of a small series of steps that we've seen (i.e. must complete mission/perks to buy certain things from recognition vendors) to get people outside of just sitting around the rencen. Go to Monster Island, Canada, or the desert and see what is up, how much time is left till the next spawn, and go to zone or some channel to get people to show up. You know - encourage community in a mmo, not herd everyone with game messages and queues.

Interesting changes and fixes!
Regarding the idea of rewarding Crowd Controllers, that'd be a very interesting system to see implemented given the state of Crowd Control in CO.
Especially since other players (if it was based on duration of holds on targets rather than "CC Cast") could easily sabotage this.

Good publicity in-game, by the game itself, would be the best way to get folks out to the Cosmics. The timers are on screen, so anyone knows when the time is ripe, though a player does have to know where to go to find the Cosmics.
I suspect (and hope) that players will just make Zone announcements themselves, much like what happens for Takofanes. I intend to do so, whenever I plan to hunt a Cosmic.

Putting the GLOBAL announcements to a MUCH better use than for telling everyone who got the top tier item from a lockbox, would be appreciated in regards to Cosmics.
Something like:
"ATTENTION HEROES, KIGATILIK HAS BEEN SIGHTED IN LYNX'S FOLD! HELP BEAT HIM BACK INTO THE FROST TOMB!"
or
"THE TELEIOSAUR HAS BEEN SPOTTED ON SLITHER BEACH IN MONSTER ISLAND! STOP HER FROM GETTING ANY FURTHER!"
and making that game wide, would be great.

On the other hand, if you add a button to the Alert interface that will pop up about 5 minutes before the cosmic spawns, and that will transport players there when they click on it, you'd probably fill the zone before those 5 minutes are up.
Buttons > announcements.

Not all of the game needs to be transparent to new players right away, which is why I would even be against server wide announcements. Forcing players to go and check on objectives is not anti fun. However, spoiling the end game to newcomers does kinda hinder the experience, and alert style "save the world now" things are not good for the atmosphere, in my opinion. It just leaves more room for idling.

Players need to know there is more to do than just stand around RenCen and wait for the Alert queues to pop. I'm totally perplexed why so many people are against a rather simple & helpful suggestion.

I'm also for a button, announcement etc. Anything that gets folks teaming for this.
I'd prefer for us to NOT have even more content the devs spend all this time on, to be seemingly ignored a week later.
Anyone planning any big group content tests for the new cosmic changess? The one a couple weeks ago was interesting.
No one has to have extra buttons all over their UI, no more annoying messages all over the screen, and people can still be lazy in RenCen when they want.

Trying to restrict content by not giving global announcements means that only a select few are able to encounter cosmics.
With the alert system as it is, not many players have any real reason to venture outside of MC.
It would be a very different story if we had to go to different locations to run alerts (i.e. queue up in a real world location or have completed [Insert Story Arc] before we can run a certain alert.) or have a real incentive to go to different zones whilst leveling.
I like this idea as well:

I think that Ironclad, Onkonkwo (Monster Island) and Ravenspeaker should be the ones to tell players the Cosmics when they are up via their mission list, since the Cosmics are in those respective zones. For example, Ironclad could have two extra info questions within his mission list such has "Who is Qwijibo?" and "Has Qwijibo been sighted lately?", for example. The first question could be answered with a quick synopsis about Qwijibo and a warning about how tough he is and what is needed to defeat him. The second question could be answered with a short yes or no answer; for example, "Yes, he has been sighted near the Elder Worms or No, I haven't heard of him causing trouble lately." Yes, it would force people out of their Ren Cen comfy couches; however, I've never heard of a super hero being truly "comfortable".
I agree with the other people here about not having a global announcement in MC; it's not needed. Just imagine how that would play out during the Bloodmoon and the Winter Event; all of those announcement flying through the air would be too distracting!
I wonder if it would be possible to create some sort of Unity check box form (perhaps accessible only to lvl 35s+?, or even just once you join Unity) that once checked will send an individual hero a message when a cosmic is up?
