    I'm a bit sad that the doods that go down aren't cheering anymore, it will be missed.

    I'm disappeared that none of the bugs I've reported for the NIghthawk Event were addressed, at last not mentioned in the change log. It wasn't like I did a last minute report either, but I mentioned them only days after the previous patch went Live. In particular the one where characters don't sidekick to a specific level in the alert or Franklin Stone being level 30 instead of a skull level, making lower level characters much weaker against him.

    I am glad to see Arc of Ruin fixed since one of my farming characters for this event has that power. I also expect the Harajuku animations to be used a lot by male characters around this time just because they couldn't before.

        Really? You replied just to address one little typo? How petty is that?!

        Does no one seem to care that there are issues with this event even if this event isn't that popular among the player base? I would think fixing bugs related to it would help make it a bit more popular.

        @rb74... look who were talking about here, @foxiandfriends is a known in game troll/griefer... it was only a matter of time (seeing how most of CHAMPIONS has them on iggy) until they brought their attention seeking "NOTICE ME" here... hopefully the moderators here will deal with their "forum trolling"... ANYWAYS on to your question... the SKULL is a normal lvl for event baddies, its basically for any lvl & the damage they do scales with the players lvl, BUT in a mixed lvl group fight, it may be best to get a group invite from someone & get a SK. As for the enemy NPC cheering, it will be missed, i thought it was funny that in the franklin stone fight cutscene, NIGHTHAWK appears, fighting is heard, the whole group (excluding you) was down & the enemies were cheering... the "truth" comes out atlast, lol

        The cape looks really good and would fit perfectly on my Shaman as a substitute for the GOLD reward feathered cape
        Unfortunately I'm on a period which I don't want to play CO since I overburned myself playing so Im skipping this event (especially since i HATE farming this specific event)
        Oh well

        Strange. I posted and its not there anymore. Anyways, I mentioned I appreciate the bugs being fixed. Also, I was wondering why its so hard to get the Pulson RF pistol weapon skin to be moved from Munitions to Gadgeteer powers.

        I've been running this with level 40s like with most other events just so I can be very effective. I invited some lower levels to a team so they can sidekick up to level 40 just to have a better fighting chance against the level 30 boss. I would think they would want their events to work properly, but I guess they simply don't care that much about this one. Speaking of bugs, today I noticed more than a few alert runs where there wouldn't even be five people in the alert before it began. Actually, I don't know if that's a bug or people simply not queuing up.

        Foxbatcon would be an excellent opportunity.

        FWIW, I was running in Stone Labs yesterday, and while most of the defeated just lay there quietly like good mooks, one of the big guys did start celebrating being beaten. (That was on Pyretta Blaze, so maybe he just really likes literally hot readheads, I dunno...)

        Post - Deleted - sighs, wasn't paying attention. What I thought was a bug was just the player characters ducking after Stone's ship does the drive by. Carry on.

        You probably can pull off that look using Mantle for Fantasy Chestwear w/ Mane collar/neck with a vest. I use something similar on my werewolf toon's Dogz outfit.

        Already using Fantasy cape with fur in a lot of characters, including my shaman
        I just wanted the feathered cape for more Tribal look

        Oh well, Mental Health and Stress levels are more important right now than farming for costumes

        funnily enough there's actually an in-universe explanation for that. Han WAS using it as a measure of distance, but the viewing audience didn't really get what he was talking about. Apparently the Kessel run went AROUND Imperial space, and the shorter the distance you used, the more likely you were to get intercepted by an Imperial patrol. Han was able to get closer than most other smugglers would dare try and Han made it.

        Maybe i do it wrong, my swinging tp landing animation seems to be exactly the same than before the patch, landing like an anvil, destroying the ground under my feet.
        Anyone succeeded to display the landing animation on live ?

        ​​

        Regarding the victory wings cape costume, congrats it looks pretty cool.

        It unlocks "Mantle victory wings" back piece, and "Cape victory wings" as back attachment

        Would it be possible to :

        - Allow the use of "Cape victory wings" back attachment as regular cape (making it compatible with other mantles, allowing a lot of combinations)

        - Extend the use of "Cape victory wings" back attachment as a shoulder attachment (separate it in two parts, left and right, and allow us to select it as an attachment on shoulders costume pieces, or at least on the rare shoulder pieces that already have an attachment function, like roin esh shoulders for example).

        Could be cool.
