Events
- The Nighthawk event will be running this week.
Blazing Lockbox
We have a new fire themed lockbox in rotation! Players can get the following items:
- Blaise Loyal Sidekick.
- Scorching Slide travel power.
- Blazing Costume Box
- Swoon Emote
- Sassy Wink Emote
- Meteor Blaze Ultimate Power.
The Blazing Costume Box can drop the following costumes:
- Blazing Tights
- Blazing Wisps
- Blazing Feathers
- Blazing Eyewear
- Blazing Helmet
- Blazing Necklace
- Blazing Shoulders
- Blazing Emblem
- Blazing Bracers

Lockbox Changes
- Added a chance to drop gear boxes alongside modification box drops with the Blazing Lockbox. This only affects the Blazing Lockbox.
- Example: Regular Modification Cases have a chance to come with a Bold Primary Pack, and Rare Modification Cases have a chance to come with a Mercenary Primary Pack. This does not impact the overall droprate of modification boxes, but instead adds a chance to get gear in addition to the mods.
- Bold Primary Pack drops 2 slot Green Primary gear at the level you open it up at.
- The Blazing Lockbox will drop Booster Box IV's instead of III's. This only affects the Blazing Lockbox.
- Changed the Crafting Skill +10 item to purple quality to better reflect its existing drop rarity. This does not affect its current drop rate.
- Known Issues: There are a couple items using old names listed on the Blazing Lockbox item. The vendor display store has the correct names. These will be corrected next week. The old names are:
Blazing Eyes is Blazing Eyewear.
Blazing Leg Armor is Blazing Greaves.
Blazing Slide is Scorching Slide.
Booster Box IV can drop the following items:
- A Costume Change Token
- Crafting Skill+10
- 10% Catalyst x3
- XP Boost Plus
- Resource Boost
ZEN Store
Added Blazing Key pack. Party Key Pack has been retired.

- 3 Triumphant Recoveries
Drifter

Misc Changes
- Entering team up should no longer place you in a dead team. However, entering team up now takes a couple seconds to place you in a team.
Loyal SidekickBlaise
- A short range fire user that specializes in PBAOE attacks. She has access to Pyre, a PBAOE version of Conflagration and a version of Absorb Heat. Her Absorb Heat can heal herself and nearby allies for a small amount. She can also apply Clinging Flame with her attacks.
Rex
- Also a short range fire user, but specializes in more single target melee attacks. He has a couple PBAOE attacks, but doesn't use them too often.

Block timing explained
Edit: Bug? Still nothing about the Matter-Energy Union Advantage Shield being drastically reduced. Post-Electric Revamp, it scaled by level. At level 40 it was 10.5k Strength, it dropped to 7.5k in an alert when you went to level 30. A few patches ago, it was changed, it still scales with Level, but the numbers are far lower. 3.5k at level 40, and around 2k at level 30.
Bug? 2- The fire resurrection (Rise from the Ashes) starts with a fire-sounding Sound Effect, and when cast on full charge, the sound that plays is the same as the Celestial Resurrection. Intentional?
Kaizerin, could you be persuaded to add The Penitent archetype to the event store?
I believe it had that typo since release.
On Rank 3 it also says that it summons 2 Living Fire sigils instead of 5, that is, for both the lower part of the description (which is supposed to be 2 anyways) and the upper part (which is supposed to say 5).
I do not have the 2-sigil advantage, only R3.
this is rushed
Blazing feet are not available in the "both" cat.
Blazing shoulders are not available in the "both" cat.
Could you please fix tails flinging around at maximum overdrive while using it? I used to get by with tapping jump over and over, which like I said, feels weird now. I'd be good with fixing the tail thing so I'm not forced to jump to avoid it though.
Add the option for Incinerate to emanate from points other than hands, like Head slot (as a single beam instead of 2)
Since forums ate my post in PTS subforum:
Since Fire Support was pushed for a further patch may I suggest a broader take on the meaning of Support (ie. not just someone that heals and rezzes the dead) while designing it. For example:
A buff:
Suggestion
New Power: Fiery Wrath
Mantain
Increases the all damage of up to 10 players in a 15 feet area around the caster by 3/6/9% (depending on rank) for the duration of the mantain.
Advantage: Burning with Power
For the duration of the mantain, gives X Energy every 3 seconds to players affected by Fiery Wrath (X is affected by your Pre or Rec)
Suggestion
New Power: Sun Cloak
Ally Buff
Reflects 2/4/6% (depending on rank) melee damage (post mitigation) back to attacker. Lasts 30 seconds. Doesn't stack.
Advantage: Nova Cloak
If target is in DPS role, adds a 5% chance to deal x Fire Damage to all attacks. Can't proc more than once every 3 seconds.
If target is in Support Role, grants him an additional 10% damage reduction.
If target is in Hybrid Role, grants him an additional 10% threat generation.
If target is in Tank Role, grants him a healing over time effect that heals him for x HP every 3 seconds.
An emergency button:
Suggestion
New Power: Magma Armor
10 min cooldown
Renders yourself and up to 4 party members within a 10 feet radius completely immune to all damage for 3/4/5 seconds (depending on rank)
Advantage: Fire is Life
Heals 50% Hp of people affected by Magma Armor
A debuff:
Suggestion
Searing Flames
Charge
Reduces enemy's Elemental defense by 3/6/9% for 15 seconds.
Advantage: It Burns
Searing Flames now also reduces enemy's all damage strength by 5%.
BEST. CHRISTMAS. PRESENT. EVAR!!!

Scorching Ray looks kinda... plain? Not very fiery?

Also, I can't help but notice that there's no melee-based fire sword power yet. I suspect this is simply an oversight and will be fixed as soon as possible.
Meteor Blaze should have been given the Overpowered Debuff

I'm assuming our dedicated and hard working devs are making some time to have an actual life . Wishing them happy holidays!!!
Not so much for DPS (unless you are DEX primary or use EGO only to stack the defensive specs from secondaries)
Fire Tanks will take great use of Fiery Will just like Power Source spawned a lot of FF electric tanks

Block timing explained
When there are lots of players in teamup, the automatic join-leave-join thing can be a bit to fast. The last join can fail, which leaves you out of teamup.
