    What about the bug with the emotes in the Special Store?
    I got the message that I already have them - which is not the case, meaning I can't buy them..and I really want those :'(

    On the note of defeated foe animation...

    I have thought for as long as I have been playing that the MC gangs in particular, should not simply lay there as if dead when defeated. They should do that reaching death animation or something to signal that they are alive but down, so they can be apprehended.

    It just seems sort of murder-y to be killing dudes whose biggest crime appears to be standing around punching their palm or spray-painting a dirty wall.

    Hahaha, that being cheerful when defeated was funny, lol. It was like they leveled up and then cheered themselves on for it, that was a bit funny. I have also seen them sink into the ground when they died, almost as if stuck in quicksand.

    They should just make a toggle option to turn off all growth effects on other players. That way inflation fetishists can have their fun without forcing it on the rest of us.​​

    I'm actually fine with that. Not sure if devs know how to do it though.

    Can confirm that this is not fixed.

    It appears to happen if an enemy dies to a Knock or while being Knocked. At least, that's what I've observed of it thus far. Perhaps it has to to with Death while Flying in that case since that uses an alternate animation where the dying party lands on their back as opposed to on their front.​​

    This would actually be pretty awesome. If we can have fun nullifiers, we should have inflation nullifiers too.

    I didn't get any additional slots either and tbh I don't think you're supposed to. I think the +6 slots is intended to be added to a Silver account, to give you 4+6 slots, rather than being a freebie addendum to a Gold account.

    Giant Growth, Mini Drive and Magnifier do not increase your hitbox. Draysha and Artificial Life Injector did, but that was fixed 2-3 patches ago​​

    Yeah. Pretty sure the premium pack stuff isn't cumulative with the stuff you get from having a subscription. It's probably the reason the premium pack is free to anyone who is/has subscribed.

    It specifically says it isn't, so if you're LTS it's pretty pointless (I haven't bothered to redeem mine).

    I've noticed dead people still cheering. Gemini's clones were doing it in alerts, and various Until soldiers were doing it during a run as an Onslaught Villain. Not sure why.

    Maybe this is the unintentended consequence we got when devs made reciprocating gizmo's vfx incompatible with giant growth. And maybe cosmics getting affected by draysha pistol has something to do with it.

    Ah, yer probably like me. Was Gold for a long time cause you thought developers deserved to get paid, EARNED a bunch of slots by capping many toons then went Silver, same reason as Gold?

    Well... you're not gonna like this... but you DID get them. The problem is Silver accounts only get a certain number of slots and you my friend, are waaaay over that number. Don't believe me, delete one slot... but pick a character you hate cause that slot is going *poof*.

    Or buy one. Only 100 zen, which is good cause you WON'T get it. If you want more slots your choice is LTS or buy enough slots to get you up to the number of toons you have. THEN you should start getting more slots when you buy them.

    Told you... not gonna like it. :(

    Bad, that's not what's going on there. Those slots you earned? Still yours. However, the six extra slots you got for subbing aren't technically yours - they were rented. When you dropped the sub, they entered a sort of virtual state, where you could play with the toons in them assuming you converted them to Silver toons, but if you delete a character one of the virtual slots disappears as well. This happens the first six times you delete a toon. After that, you're down to the number of slots you own, so no more will go away. (Been through it - one of the reasons I elected to go LTS. And right now, LTS is a lot cheaper than once it was, and than it will be later...)

    the fix is alot more than just making miniaturize drive with the reciprocating gizmo incompatible with the giant growth device. now reciprocating gizmo only triggers if you use a single target power. aoes dont trigger growth anymore.

    True, but for some it is I suppose. I mean, what you consider important others find asinine, vice versa.
    Buffing everything to stupid high levels and nerfing everything to piss poor levels yields the same results, but not the same community reactions.

    Ran through Queen City tonight. It was a little surreal having all those fallen Gemini Gangsters in the mansion cheering me on as I avenged their deaths, but the cheering cops on the Bayou Queen made it a little hard to target my foes.
