    speak for yourself. I've been looking at the weapon emblem pack for a long time but always passed them up for the flashier costumes. I'm totally happy about it.

    Why there is No Cooldown Timer for the Sapphire's dance dance evolution OM?

    So, did the 1 month double Xp end up being just the 1 week variety?

    Interesting that the LTS is on sale again so soon.

    The new emote is FANTASTIC, and I didn't have the weapons emblems yet, so thanks for that.

    Anniversary giveaways away have always been disappointing to me when it comes to costumes form zstore...I already own them all.

    Just realized a great thing about Destroid invading Rencen: easy farming for Destroid costumes. Maybe I'll finally get the Destroid Guard...
  • guyhumualguyhumual Posts: 2,397 Arc User
    Oh, two quick questions:
    1) are the concerts staggered across zones? Can we complete one in zone 1 and join another in zone 2?
    2) How do we generate points? Is it simply the number of dances we preform or is it matching the dance Sapphire is preforming?
  • avianosavianos Posts: 6,194 Arc User
    edited September 2017
    Looks like the OM is going on exactly every 1 hour across all zones, you cannot change zone to join a different one they are all on the same timer (except if a new zone is created a few seconds before its over)

    You just use dance_emotes, doesnt matter which ones​​

    i'm getting a pretty severe drop in FPS when the weapon pack unlock item is in my inventory that goes away as soon as i discard it

    i don't think that's supposed to be happening​​

    This isn't something new. Unless changed recently, costume unlocks in an open inventory window have always sucked fps down the drain. Something to do with how the little mask overlay/check is updated in the screen draw cycle.

    hunh.. I was carrying it around and had ridiculous lag. coincidence? not sure. I suddenly find myself wondering if the item is trying to use itself repeatedly.

    Is it 25 and 50 dances? I don't see a perk for 25, and even so that's a lot if all the instances start on the hour. ._.

    The patch made my hero's costume glitch, apparently.



    He wears the Kinetic eye accessory and the Foxbat head wear. There was no clipping problem before today. :/

    I'm really amused by this OM
    Who knew that we would get Tech Code to keep scoring for using Emotes... :U

    However, I DO FEEL that this OM should drop Tokens... even 5 something, something, only counting it for the Perk unlocks is not really encouraging
    Added Perks for completing Sapphire's Concert open mission. The 25 and 50 count ones reward account wide dance emotes.
    Thank you so much for making those emotes ACCOUNT WIDE unlocked

    There is no way im going to do this 50 times again once i get this over with
    (except of doing it 10 times again to get the Dancing Queen Title for a character)
    Added Television head and Party Glasses costumes to the Anniversary store.
    Now the this TV head is way better than the Junkbot ones
    It can be used for futuristic robots

    Speaking of Television, I found how to put up with this OM

    1.Mute
    2. Play Daft Punk on the Background

    Television rules the nation~​​

    I wonder what they might have adjusted to do that? Could it have been something with the new TV head?

    It is confirmed that having the Weapon Emblems costume item in your inventory, whether open or closed, DOES cause lag on some people. It seems to vary person to person, some people can barely move, for myself, I managed to do a decent Dino before I realized I needed to ditch it. Once it is unlocked for you, trash immediately.

    Someone told me that the emblem bug affects the set bonuses on justice gear. I think I almost bugged my virtuous gear with the emblem; can you please look into this?

    When you unlock the emblem, your set bonus item pops out and is left in your inventory (this is not the first costume unlock to do this). This can be fixed by unslotting and reslotting the gear, and discarding the (useless) set bonus item.

    You should make female versions of all titles... still waiting for "the girl with the gun" and "particle girl" or "particle woman" :P Atom Smasher will have to do for now :( I'll still use Demolition Man :) although I heard "particle man" is also a reference

    I heard it was the name of a song. :p

    Pretty sure everything is a reference. Dancing Queen is a song as well but the achievement is Dancing Queen/King so if that can become King/Queen why couldn't Particle Man become Particle Man/Woman? I personally don't care one way or the other but if you're changing Dancing Queen to avoid sexist language maybe you should do that with your other achievements?

    I've noticed that as well as the weird Red lightning appearing in offshoots when using the power.

    I seem to be able to replicate it consistently on my character who uses it. She has it hued purple.

    Do you have the new passive lightning device (Voltanic whatever) equiped? The lightning it sheds is red-hued.

    OH WOW, and its REALLY noticeable
    I did the same missions lines with a character before the patch up to Vibora Bay apocalypse, same gear (Full Aurum Heirloom) and 2 XP buffs (NO Grabs alerts) and I ended up lvl 37 instead of 40 after completing

    WTF?

    Awwwww...turns out the title for the Awesome dance is "Everything is Awesome". I was hoping it was just "Awesome" (I need that for my toon that mocks Rob Liefeld!). There isn't an "Awesome" title already somewhere else, is there?
