    Wow, I'm really loving all these emotes. For years we got a drip, then they got limited to lock boxes (which I still hate) but this event has given us a lot of great dances and emotes! Thank you!
  • somebobsomebob Posts: 980 Arc User
    The dances are hilarious and a ton of fun to use. Well done to everyone involved!

    This anniversary has been so much fun, from new costume gifts to dances to titles to vendor store.
    Also looking forward to "Tiny Hat" in the hopes that there a version that's rigged to sit on top of hair and beast heads :D

    Added an exchange store to Toy Master that exchanges anniversary costumes found in Anniversary Gifts for titles or currency.

    ... Why wasn't this added from day 1 of the event?
    Added Party Crowns, Robotic Claws, Tiny Hat and Disco Ball Head to the event vendor.
    I expect someone is going to make Disco Mysterio​​

    Yay! Another pack of animal heads =)=) But I wonder why the Wolf Sleek head wasn't added to this pack.

    The Lion mane is missing too

    Good choice including new hairstyles with this pack, along with other features :+1:

    Dissapointed to see there are no lizard/dino feet to match the heads and the already existing reptilians​​ :|

    The Wolf and fluff weren't quite where we wanted them visually so they're being delayed to be released for something else. Most likely Bloodmoon.​​

    The mega d's don't despawn on a fail, so we're having to deal with 2-4 or even 6 fully stacked liberateds at the start of the next round, making it almost impossible to finish.​​

    OH MY GOD, this costume pack has some EXCELLENT hairstyles :+1::+1::+1:

    I even found the perfect match hairstyle for one of my characters who i was really unsatisfied with his ingame appearence
    Favorite so far: Fruit bat, Goat and Kangaroo, those are simply Funky

    you can make some legit JRPG characters with these

    oh yeah, consider the game to be full of Rocket Raccoon clones now due to Guardian of the Galaxy popularity

    Cape Glide power did not unlock properly when I purchased it from the Event Vendor.

    I purchased it earlier today, and TPs purchased subsequently are showing as unlocked.

    Ah well, perhaps one day.
    But yeah, with the new Emotes, the Party Animal pack and whatnot, this has been a pretty good Anniversary so far! I've actually never been so excited to throw money at my screen for animal heads. (Wow, what a sentence.)

    As for the Toy Master, better late than never and the Auction House might clear up a bit with all of the Anniversary stuff being shoved in.

    Keep up the good work!

    (And what was with that maintenance a few hours back? Something broke?)
  • qawsadaqawsada Posts: 745 Arc User
    I'm really enjoying playing around with the Party Animal Pack, and I can't wait to start making costume with them during the weekend. The new emote is pretty cute, too! Thank you for adding them!

    Now that we're done with all them animal costume pieces, it be good time to focus on TIGHTS, patterns in long gloves/boots, cape brooches, partial masks without the default putty face.

    and we got anime hairstyles and mini crowns (which are a iconic unlock/cosmetic)

    now im not saying buuuuuuut... yeah its probably a coincidence​​

    @kaizerin just wanna ask a bit of a quick question regarding the mechanon version of the mega D fight since there's a bit of a massive argument going on in zone about it - do they heal? either passively or when a specific trigger event occurs?​​

    When a destroid is liberated it will gain health over time. Whenever it gains a stack of the buff.

    If a destroid drops out of combat (no nearby targets) it will heal up to its closest bar.

    One observation I've made is that gaining stacks can bump it's HP up a bar.

    Interesting Mechanon Event earlier, one of the Mega Ds teleported to the top of Mercy Hospital. Like wtf?

    EDIT: I also recall that Mechanon also "teleported" from the hotdog stand area to near one of the ramps in CHQ.

    Something weird is happening in that OM

    Maybe that was the 'Case of The Missing Mega D' once. One of the front Megas forgot to come aid his pal. He appeared when we were kicking the buckets of the right side ones.

    okay, that FOOM attack or whatever it is that the mega d's do when they reach 10% HP REALLY needs a wireframe attached to it - keep getting hit by the damn thing because i don't see it coming from the MD i DON'T have targeted​​

    Regarding the Cap Glide TP not being unlocked when purchased, I also found that the 'Lovely' title did not unlock when purchased (by my roommate). In both cases, it is the first item on a vendor list, and was purchased without clicking it, but hitting the 'buy' button, while on the default item of the list.
  • avianosavianos Posts: 6,178 Arc User
    Any chance the Cape Glide will be fixed before the event is over?​​

    Are you sure they're not being knocked? Earlier I saw one of the Liberated Megas ragdoll a regular Mega off the Champions building.

    This event is a new low in actually being able to play the game. I've basically gotten a memory crash after a single hour at least twice since Thursday. There is no reason why the game needs to be sucking up 11gb in memory. The game ran better when my computer was a gimpy, ancient pile than it does now. It was bad enough that I could barely keep the game up 3h since I upgraded, but to drop down to one?​​

    The emblems would look better if they weren't rotated so they were upright even while the headphones are dangling around your neck.
