Are all Questionite Travel Powers Combat ready now? That additional utility on some of those TPs would make a price increase reasonable to bring them inline.

Not to mention the ones which cannot be colored (which I know is for technical/code spaghetti reasons)

knightironstar · June 2016

The prices for the Questionite Travel Powers should've been lowered, not raised.

xacchaeus · June 2016

glad i purchased all the travel powers i wanted before the scr and q cost increases

tmenif3904 · June 2016

Could we have a leg accessories A and B so we can use the knee pads with armor plated set

ealford1985 · June 2016

Kneeeeeeeeeeeee

ealford1985 · June 2016

Padddddddddds

ealford1985 · June 2016

Add a copy of knee pads to the foot accessories. Please.

I know it's not a foot but there are some great leg accessory pieces that would work great with the knee pads. Thigh/knee/shin protection

beerbane · June 2016

New Flag Travel Power! Woo hoo!

chaosdrgnz43 · June 2016

I'll be fine with the Q price increase if ALL TPs can be tinted.

avianos · June 2016

So what will happen to the male Spartan Skirt? I still wait for the category fix
No im not letting it down until it get fixed and i can use Spartan Skirt with Pants and beast legs again!

Aha, that's an excellent Silver-Friendly travel power!
Heck I wish ALL travel powers were coloured based on your costumes

What is not excellent is the Price hike? really?

Remember when Q store Travel powers were suppoced to go on Discount?

[*] Added Kneepad costumes to the debugger.

We are finally getting Kneepads available for players!

Request: please add it on multiply categories, people would like to use Leg Accesories with these
In matter of fact, can we please get a new Kneepad category? this would make this better

jaazaniah1 · June 2016

Bug: Lanterns do not hang properly if in a crouched position.
Where it happens: Whenever you are not standing in a completely vertical stance.

notyuu · June 2016

Bug: The knee pad on the left leg is called "kneepad diamond" but on the right leg it's refer to as "defender kneepad"

also no union jack speed/jump/flight despite our whole "gaining independence from the EU" thing not to long ago, and before you go "but tri-colour flight" with those powers you can make the flags of the armenia, azerbaijan, bulgaria, blafra, bollivia, germany, estonia, gabon, hungary, lithuania, lexembourg, netherlands, sudan(old), sierra leone, south ossetia and yemen... not not the union jack, so wth gives?

draogn · June 2016

More unnecessary price hikes to make the game even grindier? Really?

kriss94 · June 2016

Kneepads should be their own category, not leg accessories. Also, why are we getting Defender's kneepads of all things instead of the other kneepads?

I do like the way the Tri Color travel powers work; please consider using this formula for more travel powers, vehicles, character powers and auras.

I do not understand the reason for the travel power price hike. The new travel powers SHOULD be 250,000 questionite because of the extra color options; all of the others should be discounted down to 175,000 questionite because of their simplicity and age. In my opinion, if questionite were made an account-wide currency as drifter salvage and available in the shared bank, this price hike would not bother me so much.

jaazaniah1 · June 2016

Questionite is essentially account bound. First use one character to sell some at the lowest price possible (so no one will buy it), then immediately cancel the transaction. You can then use another character to withdraw the Q.

All currencies and auras should be account bound. Spread the word.

Meanwhile I can still gear a character in a few minutes work a day on STO.. Someones doing it right at least. I wonder when CO will finally wake up and learn..

Actually most mmos are like this, and I don't recall any of those other mmos ever increasing the costs to such absurd heights. In fact, as time goes on most MMOS tend to lower the price of older/outdated gear/items when releasing new pieces. (*Unless of course the prices are already reasonable*)

pantagruel01 · June 2016

Suggestion: base the Tricolor powers on your Back piece, if any, not your Chest piece. If you look at comic book trails, they have a tendency to be cape extensions.

Unfortunately there is an issue with this. If you do not have a cape or back piece, the travel power colors will just be black.

I assume there's no option for a fallthrough. Oh well, most costumes that want that effect are pretty color coordinated anyway.

paradoxmaster · June 2016

Kaiserin, i feel the kneepads might be better suited as foot accessories rather than leg accessories. It would open up a wider array of customization concerning them, including the use of them as actual kneepads in conjunction with boots and regular leg accessories. Something to consider.

Hmm.. that sounds like too much work to give my other characters questionite. I would rather have questionite available in the shared bank; that would be easier to deal with.

xrazamax · June 2016

Bug: When unlocking the new travel powers from the Q Store, you are given the message "Unable to use this item" after unlocking the power.

Sidenote: The tricolor travel powers are kind of dark. The colors should be a lot brighter.

jaazaniah1 · June 2016

Up to you to decide if it's too much work, but it is not bound to account if you do this. I've got 1.2 million on one guy this way.

canadascott · June 2016

I'd recommend reducing the cost of the Q-travel powers to 150,000, they're way overpriced. And, if easily implimented, allow the player to spend 500,000 Q or 1500 Zen to purchase an additional TP slot.

beerbane · June 2016

Bug on Live: It looks like the new lanterns get wrapped up into your cape texture when you use the Cape Flight travel power (specifically replicated via archer cape from neck and lantern on back). Kind of neat looking -- in a frantic, blinking, 'my cape is about to murder me' kind of way.

themightyzenith · June 2016

It would be kinda cool (and fitting) if we could get Liberty Guard's knee-pads (same ones that the Collectors Store guy is wearing) as well as the ones that were added, I always wanted those.

Maybe a 'Knee-Pads' category in the tailor is called for now

theultimax · June 2016

Request:Please make the knee pads foot accessories, so that way we can wear leg armor with the knee pads.

hhmh. They're kinda whatever you set them to be right now? I could potentially make them additive but that washes out black (Which is Belgium, Germany, Estonia, etc). I didn't want to add another multiple (additive/nonadditive x superspeed/flight x horizontal x vertical) for sheer upkeep and interface reasons. I suppose I could try multiplying the colors by 1.5 or something like that, which would keep black, because [0,0,0] * [1.5,1.5,1.5] is still [0,0,0]) but that seems like it would cause some pretty serious distortion.

try 1.3 instead? maybe the distortion (whatever that means) won't be so bad, yet there will still be a bit more brightness to the colors

violetnychus · June 2016

Now THERE is a great business opportunity.

crypticbuxom · June 2016

Not unless that's an account wide price tag. Regardless, TPs need general need a pass and separated from the power progression so they can be incorporated into changing the skin when we want.

thelastsonofzod · June 2016

FWIW, I think Tricolor flight works perfectly as is. Yes, it's a bit too plain and dark with some color schemes, but with a suitably bright wardobe, it looks gorgeous. Tricolour, my french hero, looks stunning with it. I would advise picking up some streaming auras for the more plain combinations.

Hopefully, we can get skull streaming in time for Septemebr, and then we can do Pirate Flag Flight

talapari · June 2016

The Tri-color superspeed, on both of them, have what i am considering an animation glitch. as you are jumping, you are still running instead of jumping like in other superspeeds and running animations. In addendum, i cannot test graphical glitches with new pieces if i can't access them, and perks and rewards from transfers, don't transfer. On PTS i would suggest removing the perk requirements if you wish to have them tested. I usually do extensive costume fixations, on how certain aura's react to different materials and such. But i also understand that some things are pretty much underlined for hard coding purposes. but i can't do telios or qwijybo with no one to assist in the pts server every time i want to test out one of the new aura's or powers.

I do hope we help eleviate most of the glitches that occur.

themightyzenith · June 2016

So the kneepads are are only available if you buy the Indy Kid loyal sidekick for 1500 Zen.

dimshade1 · June 2016

Saint Patrick's Cross is missing from the Union flag in the cape options

themightyzenith · June 2016

Such a shame that the Flag Capes have baked-in colours, I've been waiting years for a Union Jack cape but will never use this one because of the garish colours.

Could we not just have the ability to colour them ourselves?

themightyzenith · July 2016

Thanks for the Star-Clasp though, really nice, very superheroic, silver age and simple..... I love it.

ealford1985 · July 2016

Really disappointed with the lack of an actually padded fabric that wraps around the joint above the shin.

roughbearmattach · July 2016

Suggestion: Please allow conversion of the previous event currency to the new ones. I have several characters that have 50-100 Patriot Tokens, but they are inventory items, and do not count in the event store.

Thanks.

chaelk · July 2016

NOTE:Patriot bags also drop green gear, not your level. My level 12, got a level 32 in an alert from a bag.

gogoginga1 · July 2016

auras / firework bind to single character on pickup,not account bind ,these are cosmetic non power/combat affecting fun items , I don't understand why its bind on pickup ,this seems like a mistake and devalues the items, I could find a use for these perhaps at one point or on future characters, but im not going to grind for the sake of grinding to get each item on individual characters which may or may not want them , no one has that kind of time, please make them bind on equip or bind to account on pickup so I have a choice on where to use them, otherwise I can see no point in working to get them, shame really

on a side note I cant understand this recent obsession with bind on pickup as it discourages alts ,alts can be a huge investment ,personally I buy all the costumes to make alts and character slots , If I had one or two characters i wouldn't bother with that , alts mean more characters ,more stuff to buy ,more costumes ,gear and powers, spending on retraining ,does cryptic not want peoples money?

spinnytop · July 2016

It's not always about money.

xacchaeus · July 2016

its ALWAYS about money

dataweaver42 · July 2016

Nephilim Masks (Full and Partial): could you please make these available as Eye Accessories?

Gunblades: could you make this available both as a Pistol and as a Melee Weapon? It is, after all, both a gun and a blade...

On the Binding issue: the Red Winter Alert is optimized for DPS builds; if my patriotic character is a support type, chances are that she won't do well enough to earn the Alert's reward. Which sucks if I'm trying to get one of the Auras for her. Please, either change the Alert so that you don't have to inflict massive amounts of damage to claim the reward, or make the Auras “Bind to Account” rather than “Bind to Character”.

ussharrington · July 2016

Are there any plans to allow us to exchange the old Patriot Token items for the new Patriot Token currency, in much the same way it was done for Onslaught tokens when they became a currency?
