Collector Store
Starting December 25th the Collector lockbox will go into rotation.
Split up the Gold Special Voucher into A and B versions. The Collector Lockbox will now drop these in place of Gold Special Voucher.
Action Figures, Gear, Transport items and Pre-Order devices found in the Gold Special Voucher store have moved into the Gold Special Voucher B store.
Gold Special Voucher B have a slightly higher drop rate over Gold Special Voucher A.
This does not change the drop rate of the Gold Special Voucher A or any other voucher in the Lockbox.
Players with an old Gold Special Voucher can exchange it for an A or B version at the store next to the Collector Store.
Added the contents of the Cybernetic lockbox to the collector store. These items will appear in the store on the 25th.
Added Single Stat mod drops to the Collector lockbox, this is replacing the old mod boxes.
The Collector Lockbox now drops Booster Box IV instead of III.
Questionite
Added Toy Teddy, Toy Kitten and Toy Puppy Transmogrification devices.
Known issue: The names on the teddy devices are swapped, but their display image portrays which item it gives.
Subscriber Reward
Starting January 1st players who are subscribed can get the Ice Wings costume.
Misc
Fixed a bug where Seraphim and Warmth could heal defeated targets.
So... Can the old costume unlocks get a trade spot at the Pet Master vendor? I don't see them being worth trying to sell on the AH, so getting a few charms would be super.
Fixed a bug where Nightmare Clarence's Dissolving Breath attack would not be used if his primary target was in melee with him.
Can you re-introduce this bug? Being melee sucks enough when I get clobbered by stuff I can't see and can't move away from because of the massive piles of people everywhere. Adding a high damage, no wireframe, hinky hitbox attack doesn't help. Or at least, I think that's the Mega D reskin attack that does too damn much damage. Oh and that green fire pile can go away too. Died to that without even having to be in the hit zone. Which is also a troll attack waiting to happen.
It's hard to see what's going on with Clarence / effects popping in and out of view. So, I'm kinda guessing at this stuff. Point is, Tentacle Clarence is annoying.
I'm a little disappointed that toys killed in the clearance fight and the special alert don't count towards the misfit toys mission. They counted last year if memory serves.
by the way, the fix you put in for ghost teams a few weeks ago broke again, or just doesn't function on this particular OM...level 0s aplenty in most of the clarence teamups i've been in
There was never any fix for level 0 players. The join-leave-join thing is meant to make sure you get into the correct teamup. Without doing that, the game often placed you in the teamup of another OM somewhere on the the map.
dead team = team with one or more level 0 ghost characters in it
That post was just not worded great.
Dead team in this case means a teamup that doesn't fit the OM you're doing. People were getting into a completely different teamup before, which could be worked around by manually doing join-leave-join every time you joined a teamup. Now the games just does that automatically for you.
Getting a level 0 in your group doesn't make it dead anyway. The aura bug is when you get into a group with a higher number while the groups with lower numbers aren't created yet. That does happen mostly when the higher numbered groups have been kept open by level 0 ghost players.
Suggestion: Restore Clarence's VO spam, he is very quiet compared to the events before nightmare and awakened Clarence were added.
Guess the big sale and the fusion table boosts will come next week. Hopefully everyone who got some holiday money won't have spent it all elsewhere before the sales kick in.
