Misc
  • Added a teamup feature to Lemurian and Monster Island crisis queues.
  • The Pistolwhip sidekick has received a review.
  • Added tech belt costume unlock to the debugger.
  • Fixed Rocker face texture 1 cutting off on females.
  • Added preview images to a bunch of the new items in the debugger.
  • Added Gunslinger archetype as purchasable via tokens through the event vendor. This will be available while the high noon event is active.
  • Fixed a bug where the new core mods would not display an effect on secondary items.
  • Adjusted the scale of the archetype retrain selection window to help with low resolution screens.
  • Made it so wings no longer flap on vehicles.
  • Added new Defense and Utility mods to the GCR store.
  • Added base cost discount and cooldown reduction effects to Cosmic utility secondary gear to match other types of secondary gear.
  • Corrected some of the Animal Pack tails so their detail maps don't appear inverted.
  • Added a scrollbar to the archetype retrain screen.
  • New Loading Screen art.
  • Added Lemuria and Monster Island crisis to the mission queue tab. We are interested in players giving these a test to see if any bugs can be found queuing for them in this manner.

    New Loading Screen art

    - I like it!
    - Doesn't give too much away but at the same time highlights an area which has been mostly ignored as almost everything has been MC centric...nice to see developments of stories utilizing other maps!
    - With the pictures of super heroes/vigilantes flying in...I hope this means we'll be able to use our travel powers for once >_>

    Lemuria & Monster Island Crisis

    - Whilst there isn't anyone right now to test the queues with me...I will request this. Can the requirement to start these instances be reduced to 1 player? There have been instances where neither crisis has popped because no one is around and I end up giving up because I cannot access them.

    On Live, MI Crisis can be started solo but requires you wait roughly 5-10 minutes until it pops. Due to defusing the mines, I'd argue that the Lemuria Crisis should probably be reduced to a two player minimum instead of one.

    Please make Lemuria & Monster Island Crisis require max 1 person

    just like how Monster Island crisis is currently on live​​

    I'll give this a go. Never managed to do the MI crisis, and Lemuria was a bit bugged...

    The leg on the lady flying at the loading screen looks a slight bit weird, imo, but I love it all, so it's just me nitpicking.

    Seriously though, you guys having been making some really great loading screens, which is one of the few little things that I actually really love.

    Thanks! Now my winged characters won't look like they are helping with flight power for my vehicles. :D

    Probably the best changes you have added so far
    The cosmics secondaires will finally be equal to the OV gear, no need to farm this PVP thing

    Anyone see the new Utility mods added yet?
    Munitions damage--something else?

    This is strange. I just did MIC. I was the only one in the queue, as far as I could see, and it popped in 30 seconds.

    What is the fate of the new cowboy costume parts? I'm surprisingly super-excited for this round of updates -- anything to get out of RenCen -- and I'd like to experiment with more of those awesome costume parts. They have disappeared from the test server.

    This awesome and I can't believe I missed it. Is there anyway to review and possibly upgrade the rewards for the Crisis missions? I recall running these in the past and being disappointed in reward vs. the amount of effort required. Maybe increase the amount of SCR and possibly a chance for a rare drop of some kind. A costume reward might even be an interesting change of pace. CO players love costume pieces.
