Happy 9th Anniversary!
We will be celebrating Champions Online's 9th Anniversary for the next month!
This week Witchcraft will be in front of the powerhouse with a double xp buff!
Talk to the Anniversary Host to receive a free gift this week!
  • Added new perks for throwing water balloons and opening gifts.
  • Added a new perk category for anniversary perks as the events category was getting crowded.
  • Added glitter cat tail, glitter cat ears and glitter slanted mask costumes as possible drops from Anniversary Gifts.
  • Titles that dropped during the Still Standing event are now possible drops from Anniversary Gifts.
  • Added Glitterbomb costume transformation to the event store.
  • Added Royal and Regal Crown costumes to the event store.
  • Players can purchase various Become Devices from the event store this week! This store will only be around week 1 of the Anniversary!
  • Players can no longer get tons of points for spamming emotes at Sapphire's Concert open mission. The amount that can be obtained now has a cooldown after using an emote.
  • Just a reminder, the open mission Destroids Rise Again grants Anniversary currency during this event!
  • All enemies in the game have a chance to drop Anniversary Gifts.

    Well this is surprising. I expected Corrosive to be release alongside Venom movie. Oh well, I hope the October lockbox will be great. Time to make a Venom costume!

    So has anyone got a map of where all the cats are yet? =)

    Also, it would be awesome if the Cat-astrophe title was available to toons that missed it in the tutorial.

    The new crowns are great, much better than the toy party crowns. Now if only we could have that sort of furred cloak that kings wear.. :)

    Does this mean that after find only about 27 cats, I would get the perk but doing more wouldn't effect next week's finding, but in fact might put those other cats on a timer for no other reason than to do the daily?

    there's a cat in the Westside where the cobra lords are that refuses to be rescued.
  • opalflameopalflame Posts: 207 Arc User
    Oh man. As someone who mains a Roin'esh, I'm loving that ooze transformation! Makes shapeshifting a lot more fun. The new travel power is a lot of fun too. Oh, and there's cats. Today is a good day.

    I know this is probably a week old, but seeing how the Blazing Lockbox has now been added to the Collector's box, is there any chance we might get the Rex Head unlock for our characters? Either in Voucher store, or maybe as a potential Anniversary drop reward? That head is 2 gud to just stay exclusive to a dumb sidekick/AF​​

    No Ultimate for this lockbox?
    Despite a Bestial supernatural Ultimate or Fighting Claws would be spot on for that costume? Why?
    Disappointing! I care more about power progression these days and I was looking forward to use a new ultimate

    The costume (except of the Claw Bracers) is a hard pass
    The crowns are neat​​

    The lesson is 'PTS sometimes matters'. The first version of the event didn't have Reggie, I pointed out So is Martha Reece being restored to the tutorial? Only ancient players have much reason to know who she is, the mission was patched back in about six hours later.

    ty for reminding them~ <3 buuut am... not gonna say anything else about how it got restored coz it will sound way meaner than intended >.<

    and as for the event itself... it is way more fun than it should be =P even tho as usual, lotsa complaints on zone hee
    convo with reggie + katto names + katto interaction perks / titles = gigglefest

    i don't think i have ever willingly wanted to fly through trees before.... which raises a valid question....
    who gonna save us when we inevitabably get stuck in trees >.<

    <font color="#ff0000">Bug
    So apparently whenever you activate Walk while jumping with the new TP, you get retained in ooze form and after a short time, your model reappears; but the effects still linger.
    Only way to remove it is to go back to regular running mode.</font>

    Can someone PLZ look into the "cat rescuing" daily mission... there seems to be a group of cats in CITY CENTER trees (near where people are catching on fire) that refuse to be rescued, sometimes there is more than 1 per location & no rescue link pops up. MUST... SAVE... KITTEHS !!!
