    Im kinda sad because I was expecting a 50% FF slot sale
    but on the other hand, look at all those pretty auras and new stuff

    Those Travel Powers have a lot of pontetial for silver users, powers that are automatically get coloured by your clothes is something really interesting

    What's the ETA on fixing (or at least acknowledging) the problem with the gravity defying lanterns (only work properly for characters in Average and Heroic stances)?

    Red Snake, Green Dragon Alert
    Added serpent costume pieces as drops to the alert.

    I missed this one!
    OOOOH Does this include the NPC-Exlusive costume Serpent Collar? or is it just the Z store costumes?

    EDIT: No serpent collar in Loot Table, but again if it was it would be on PTS first for testing​​

    Yep, 150 for the bop auras and 650, at 40 (35 from daily and 5 from the alert) tokens a day that's about 17 days of a two week event.

    I have the same issue. The patriot tokens from last year dont look the same as the ones from this year and the old ones landed in your inventory, not the currency tab as the new ones do. Will there be a fix on the old patriot tokens to allow players to combine the old ones with the new ones, or should I just delete the old ones?

    Well, if you do the Red Alert 10 times per day, that becomes 85 per day, without any street sweeping.

    Since you guys are adding interesting Rewards for each Special Alert, I suggest adding Green Dragon and Red Snake Action Figurines into the loot table for the next Rotation

    I dont personally care for AF, but It would be something (along Serpent Collar) to motivate people

    Also BUG: Serpent Mask: The item is automatically Unlocked on Pick Up
    It unlocked to me even if I already had the Serpent costume set​​

    You know, I bite and decided to ignore the fact that the Event auras are Bound on Character, and farm the for the current characters who need them (sorry Future characters you are screwed)

    and i STILL got dissapointed

    BUG: Star Trail Aura (The Colourable one) All the colours translate into a very dark hue of the colour version

    BUG: Star Trail Aura (ALL) The auras don't work In Combat Aura Tray​​

    I do really appreciate the Devs for attaching preview pictures to the new auras. It's not perfect, because you can't see how the aura acts or what the tinting looks like on them, but definitely a big improvement.

    That being said, I hate auras being BoP.

    Auras are costume pieces and I'm always mixing and matching auras and costumes. It's super aggrevating to purchase a BoP aura only to find it just doesn't look right on that particular toon. That happened recently with a Patriot Event aura and A Drifter store aura. Now they'll sit in those toon's aura storage and probably never get used.

    I stopped running the Patriot Event because I'm not interested in collecting BoP auras on toons that, more than likely, will never use them.

    Conversely, I ran the Foxbat and Halloween events over and over again because I wanted a couple of each of the auras, even though I didn't have specific toons I wanted to use them for. Since then, I've used a number of them and even created new toons specifically with using those auras in mind.
