    Any word on when the lanterns will be fixed to hang properly when a character is not in a completely vertical stance?

    More "if" than "when", I imagine. That would be a big reworking of the lanterns.

    ...a month long Double XP?

    You're trying to kill me Kais :open_mouth:

    I'm loving the new store item, particularly the Ironclad Chariot. Any chance the other champions could get vehicles as well? Sapphire getting a blue rock glider seems like a synch :)

    Also any idea when Challenge will be added back to Lead Tempest? Just don't want this to be one of those things that slip under the rug for years to come.

    Sidenote: The Spanish Flintlock pistols aren't showing up anywhere even in the search after unlocking.

    Does this mean the Gremlin is always out when you have the device equiped or do you still have to take damage with a percentage it will show up? And the Gremlin isn't level 1, does that mean it scales to your level? So I always have a level 40 Gremlin running around with me that will fight with me or am I not understanding?

    level 1 pets have pitiful HP, and die when sneezed on by henchmen, also they lack DPS. Level 40 pets are somewhat tougher and stronger..... still weak compared to players, but not totally horrible.

    There's something strange going on with the Spanish Flintlock. I got the Pocket Flintlock and the Spanish Flintlock from the collectors store and unlocked them but unfortunately the Spanish Flintock isn't showing up in the tailor........the Pocket one is showing up fine.

    Edit: By mistake it wasn't put as an account-wide unlock and will be fixed next week :)

    Random is random. I've gotten five myself (two that I did not have...the new stuff), and all I've done is run about 30 or so of my characters through for the weekly/daily.

    Suggestion:
    Added Cheer!, Frosty Beverage, Regenerating Taco, Permanent Personal party Ball, The Incredible Returning Water Balloon, Crate of Water Balloons, and Permanent Super Balloon devices to the store.

    Make them Bound On Account, rather then Crh (Mostly the Frosty Beve)

    Really is no need or desire for me to create new alts anymore with the upcoming changes.
    Everyone else enjoy though.

    I don't know if the zen sale, ending in a couple of days, was ever noted here.

    Also wondering if we will see a double gcr/scr month so people can more easily gear all their new level 40s?

    The anniversary mission is not appearing for some of my characters... Why is that? He was at level 6 but I already leveled him to 9. As he's a mercenary with no super powers he could really use a bike. Am I failing to observe any requirements for the mission?

    But the post says "This week you can claim a free Wasp bike and 5 anniversary gifts. Check the Anniversary Party host NPC in the Rennaissance Center! Must be level 8 to acquire the mission."

    Anyways I'll level him to 10 and see what happens.

    It might be nothing, but it does say "log in" with your 8+. Did you try logging out and back in, like you have to with the first Onslaught mission?

    I know, I know, is it plugged in and turned on, but...

    Yep, tried to log out and in with him for two nights now and still the mission isn't appearing for me... I think this is occurring with some other chars but since this is the only one which I want the bike and still couldn't get it, I didn't pay much attention for the others...

    Well, it seems that the level required really is 10, and not 8. As soon as my mercennary got to 10, the mission appeared with the Party Host. Got him a Wasp! :smile:
