Forum Malvanum/Circus Malvanum

Added Firewing's Tights costume (Head, Chest, Legs) as a rare reward from Forum Malvanum.
The Firewing head texture on the Humanoid head for males has been restricted. This costume was not meant to be freely available to players. Costumes that are already using this texture will retain it. However, if you edit the costume it will remove itself.
Added Gladiator Head costume to the Circus Malvanum store.
Added Dread Steam Vehicle to the Circus Malvanum store.
Gave Firewing a Fireball attack to mix up his short cooldown attack chain as spamming the Flashfire snap looked a bit silly.
Made it so Firewing's attacks are properly colored as some were using default colors.
Increased Firewing's attack range slightly and adjusted his attack priority so he tries to use his big attacks when they become available.
Updated Firewing's costume and stance.
Costumes, Emotes and Action Figures found in the Circus Malvanum store now also have a small chance to drop from the Circus Malvanum race.
Added Brawler emote to the store.
Added a second Malvan Guard action figure to the store.
There are now two action Figures next to Jo the Mechanic using the two emotes available from the store.

ZEN Store

Added Agate Loyal Sidekick. This pack includes a new tail costume.

Monthly sub Reward

Added Flag Pole costume. This will be available next month.

Misc

Added Dance Peace emote. This emote is available to all players.
Added Cover texture to Humanoid, Humanoid no Ears, Partial mask and Noseless heads. This costume is available to all players.
Made some adjustments to the collision for the male scoundrel jacket bottom and male ninja wrap to stop them from doing weird things when placing them on for the first time.

markhawkman · July 2017

so when does CM start?

chimerafreek · July 2017

I wish instead FM was just gutted and rebuilt to be less of a slog.

avianos · July 2017

All nice and Swell but Forum Malvanum REALLY needs a revamp because that unskippable Cutscene spam makes me want to shoot myself

There is no reason for this alert to be 15 minutes long mate
The cutscenes take longer than the fights

avianos · July 2017

ZEN Store
Added Agate Loyal Sidekick. This pack includes a new tail costume.

It's... just a tail... with special material

I honestly believe his long fabulous majestic long hair mane would be more welcome as a hairstyle

In general, we need more hairstyles

sekhmet46 · July 2017

I want that gladiator head... Good thing I have tokens from last CM

guyhumual · July 2017

So this new emote binds to character on pick up but as it's an item you can buy it multiple times. Now I have two items that I can only use once. So what are you going to do to fix this?

themightyzenith · July 2017

The new Cover face pattern is great, a really welcome addition. I can only imagine that, compared to the vast majority of other costumes, these are pretty easy to make.

Please make other variations of these for the future, pretty please

canadascott · July 2017

We need to have somewhere where Foxbat uses the new dance emote. For reasons.

n8pu · July 2017

ALL cut scenes should be skippable, especially if you have more than one toon, how many times do you have to sit there and watch the same thing over and over and........

avianos · July 2017

Added Dance Peace emote. This emote is available to all players.

This emote is really fun, thank you for the free addition

Thank you for the freebies in gerenal, i thought i would never see new free account wide emotes again

They could add him to the Club Caprice dance floor, sometime! He'd certainly be a less-weird addition than the random deinonychus!

So, again, you allow people to accidentally buy it multiple times. How are we going to fix this?

xurreal84 · July 2017

Any chance you could suggest a "Partial" category for the Gloves category to match the invisible arms?

qawsada · July 2017

I ganna say, I'm impress by Firewing's new look.

I would guess that skipping cutscenes in alerts is problematic because they're being displayed to four other players. The action couldn't start until everyone had escaped the cutscene, and there might not be code in the server to ensure that everything syncs up in this case.

I found that turning the voice volume down to zero makes the cutscene seem shorter, especially the really annoying ones like Cyberdoof and Forum Malvanum.

ealford1985 · July 2017

But I like to know about the Salt Mine of Mentos...the fresh maker

chaosdrgnz43 · July 2017

I just realized this after the patch hit...

BUG: Heavy Chains neck piece clips through chest. It never did that before.

sterga · July 2017

I've played multiplayer games with skippable cutscenes. It is a thing that is possible to do. I just don't want the custscenes to exist in the first place since they rarely add anything but annoyance. Story telling can be done in other ways.

guyhumual · July 2017

The sky race is still bugged, it's possible to go through all the check points and still fail the race.

So reading doesn't help if the game allows double clicks. Usually if it's one per character it just unlocks without a unnecessary item. There's no reason for this to be an item, the only reason for this emote to be an item is to screw over players as it bind on pick up and one use only. Buying multiple versions of this item is useless. If it's their intent to dick around players then congratulations you've discovered a way to screw over players. If this is not your intent please fix this.

I think you are best off contacting customer support for a refund of your wasted tokens than making a fuss over it here, though you do make a good point... people should not be able to purchase the item more than once per character if it binds on pickup.

ealford1985 · July 2017

And if you accidentally delete the item? I guess you just don't ever get it again.

pantagruel01 · July 2017

ealford1985 said:

You block buying if the emote is unlocked or the buyer has the item in inventory.

guyhumual · July 2017

ealford1985 said:

This is another reason why it shouldn't be an item.

ealford1985 · July 2017

Or make them higher priced (600 tokens) and make them account bound

chimerafreek · July 2017

is earless STILL not available for males?

flyingfinn · July 2017

What earless?
You mean Humanoid No Ear?

guyhumual · July 2017

ealford1985 said:

I would be fine with that.

elseguard · July 2017

Question: So are we able to get the new tail costume piece from one bought from the AH or is it only from buying it directly from the Z-store?

I really hate when they bundle stuff like this with things that I find totally useless (atleast for me) and it would be terrible to spend about $20 just for one costume piece. This is the same thing they did with the Harajuku Twins with the heavy scythe and gatling gun I believe way back then (which is silly since its not like they didn't have an actual costume pack that they could have put those pieces in) and I went ahead and still bought them which are still sitting in a bank somewhere today.

Then I think a little bit more recently they even added a new pouch piece or something to the twins that I, for some reason, can't have automatically unlocked even though I bought the twins a long time ago so they expect me to buy them again...

All costumes pieces which come with Buddle from Loyal sidekicks are Tradeable

guyhumual · July 2017

So I don't think the red race is possible with rank 3 travel power. I've gotten 2 fails in a row now. I've been doing the race every day and haven't failed prior to this, so perhaps I've succeeded with the blue race? Sadly I haven't been keeping track as this is the only toon I attempt the race with without a vehicle

elseguard · July 2017

Ok so, i'm guessing the pieces get added to your account once you bind the sidekick to a character?

When you buy a loyal sidekick from Zstore which contains a Costume unlock, the costume unlock item is automatically getting added into your inventory for you to unlock/trade/sell

You DON'T have to bind the Sidekick

ealford1985 · July 2017

^ all the costume unlocks for sidekicks are tradeable and so is the sidekick.

A good buy to make at least 1000g in AH

sekhmet46 · July 2017

Curse being away from home... No gladiator head for me T_T

elseguard · July 2017

I see. Can someone tell me what the waist bag for the harajuku twins and the new wolf tail unlocks are called?

I'm glad that I don't have to spend money for just one or two pieces but now is the waiting game that is seeing if anyone is selling them.

ealford1985 · July 2017

It's the name in the description for the sidekick in zstore

guyhumual · July 2017

So the race is still broken, for whatever the reason you sometimes don't get credit for going through the hoops, and I can't make rhyme or reason for it. Today I get a race failed with 40 seconds left and I was able to compete the race without the speed boost.

qawsada · July 2017

You probably skip a racing loop without noticing.

guyhumual · July 2017

qawsada said:

No, I go through the center of every loop, I've been running the races every day now, with 7 different toons, doing both red and blue races. This is not a new glitch, people have theorized that activating a speed boost before or after or during a loop causes the glitch but I've had this happen without using the speed boost now. The race I failed today was the blue race where you have the dots to follow. This is the second auto fail with a vehicle, I failed the red race twice using a R3 flight power as well, so that's not a super high fail rate but it's still annoying that these bugs or glitches exist in the game after four or five years of sky races.

thats a really old bug and has nothing to do with skipping rings, either it has to do on how fast you go or/and the rings' hitbox being extremly broken in instances with a lot of players

how else do you explain I got RACE FAILED on FINAL ring to the finish?

pantagruel01 · July 2017

avianos said:

It means it didn't register you on the ring right before the final ring. Which isn't very likely to skip by accident, true.

sekhmet46 · August 2017

So I ended up shelling out Salvage to buy the Gladiator head. I like it, but accessory parts don't stay with it when applied (they move as a normal head would). I'm guessing there's no easy fix for this, but that'd be nice...

I got a fail on the first ring today. You think I missed the first ring?

If you're pushing up against the force field of the starting line when the race begins, there is a chance the game won't register that you passed through it. I suppose the actual starting line is at the back edge of the ring, and the barrier is at the front.

No, I never start next to the line, I'm having connection issues. I was rubber banding all the way from the start to the first ring, after I passed though it I got the "Race Failed" message.

markhawkman · August 2017

Ok, if you're rubber banding THAt bad, then yeah, it's the rubber banding....
