    I am MORE than happy to have paid to have 'early access' to the above emotes for...how long now? Multiple years?

    I see it as doing my part in giving thanks to those who worked on them to begin with.

    I'm game, debating if I even want to bother with the fresh cosmics after reset or just start xp grind. Also a pretty good time to pop a couple of the xp buffs I have stored away perhaps, I normally wait till i'm in the high 30's to use them, but most of the time I forget I have them lol

    Lmao, I might do the fresh cosmics too but after grab the toons for their double xp boost then grind and grind til 40 :3​​

    What do you mean by "reapply"? Do you mean get the item again, i.e. opening more lockboxes to get it or buying it from AH/trading for it?

    No problem, I've seen this sort of thing happen on PTS before so when I saw "re-apply" I knew what to do. :D​​

    Still no Mini Cape Torn...
    I'm so TORN about this! such a simple suggestion fallen on deaf ears.

    Anyway, can anyone in the dev team tell what the possible contents of those goodie bags? A little info won't hurt.

    EDIT:
    This music seemed appropriate

    You don’t get what you want when you ask for it randomly...just like everyone else.

    You added it as a suggestion, so drop it.

    So far I've been getting Family-Size Water Balloons, Tacos, and a couple of Titles - had "Sir", now I've added "Impervious" to Oread. The goodie bags drop pretty liberally, too.

    Oh, BTW, Kai - any chance whatsoever that the pattern for the Sky Cape could one day be applied to a bodysuit? That would be ideal for Starfall, and quite suitable for a few other concepts I have in mind.

    @kaizerin can you confirm if it is or not?​​

    "You can also claim the Cosmic Cape costume from the ZEN store for free this week!"

    You know you have to put in a whole bunch of Cosmic stuff in the game now, right? Tights. Hair. Auras. Travel Powers. Vehicles. Weapon Skins. And more cape patterns that can use the Cosmic look.​​

    No, more like using the new cosmic materials (as on the cosmic cape that was released on live, yesterday) on more stuff.

    I have to say, the Cosmic Cape's material is amazing :+1:
    Shame it's only available for the back, I wish it was available as a neck cape (Aka Archer's cape) so i can use it with Wings​​

    A skin or tight option would be awesome.

    Having that material for the Destroyer cape would be fun too

    Okay, Kais, you can let the bean-counters know that a Cosmic materials set would sell in the store. :smile:

    The Cosmic Cape looks fantastic, but can't apply it. "The Change made the costume invalid"

    If devs continue giving away gold-account-stuff why they still selling suscription?

    it's not a big deal, adventure packs used to cost zen

    It encourage players to stay in the game and hope it would cause them to buy their stuff. I would say it did work when they had that free FF slot event. I stay in the game, enjoy the game immensely, and bought their LTS many months after that free FF slot event.

    Ralistically, that sort of thinking would mean never giving away or having sales on ANYTHING sold in the zen store, at all ever.

    Those things you bought have likely been around for years and will only be available free for a limited time I believe...
    now if you bought that dance pack a couple weeks ago I can understand feeling burned. Also for all of us who have paid for and owned those emotes for a long time, they even tossed in one extra that was previously unavailable.
