    Hot damn, more medieval stuff's one of the things I've always been wanting. And awesome designs, nonetheless. Also brings a smile so see more NPC-exclusive costumes come to us.

  • We have knight armor but there are no skirt options that split in the middle at the moment, only on both sides. Could we have one of these to make knights with a mix of armor and cloth/leather clothing?

    they need some groups of malvans around the city to fight, because isn't the circus malvanum just a distraction so they can grab up mobs for the forum malvanum
  • Bug: flying through a ring in unison with another racer will results in "RACE FAILED!" message. Was going through the blue rings and someone landed directly over my character and we both went through at the same time, caused me to fail.

    Since the Flashback Lockbox is returning, does it mean we'll get a new lockbox soon?
  • yes; that's why we didn't get jack shirt for costumes during week 2 of HN - their sole costume maker is busy with lockbox bits​​

    Oof! I'm late.
    I hope there will be a crossbelt harness in the CM store soon. One that actually looks good on big characters.

    Did you guys really schedule the last day of forum malvanum on the first day of circus malvanum?
    oh and according to the alert schedule red winter should be starting like the day after the patriot celebrations ends, assuming Patriot Days starts on 6/27 to include Canada Day.

    I see the Gear set Buff is not ready yet, propably reserved for the next new lockbox release

    Circus Malvanum with no FM Alert!
    BUT WHY THO!? This certainly doesn't help with this Event's horrible reputation!
    It's basically go AFK for 10 minutes doing/watching stuff on Google chrome until the race starts

    Added Knight helmet, Regal Knight helmet, and Regal collar costumes to the event store.

    LOVING THE COSTUMES, Love seeing NPC-Exlusive costumes become available for players :+1:

    ...Vehicles are still relevant?
    Added a view release notes button to the landing page that open up the release notes forum section when clicked.

    Good Addition for the UI! :+1:
    I kinda wish we could view the Patch Notes Ingame, but i respect that this is not something easy to keep up to date with this Engine​​

    Yeah this is really bad. Could you please turn FM back on? As much as I hate the 20 minutes of cutscenes per run, I kinda prefer that to having to do the race an extra 4-5 times per day, per character, in order to be able to buy the stuff I want from the store.

    Pretty please?

    EDIT: FM returns! Thanks a lot! :+1:

    maybe i should start doing this

    Cool helmets though at least. If only there was like a new mission through a time machine that made sense for it.

    Oh no, the thing that has been the standard for years continues to be the standard D:
  • jonesing4jonesing4 Posts: 800 Arc User
    Malvanum has to be the worst offender, though. It's the "Champions: AFK" event. Queue for Forum Malvanum... wait anywhere from 2-20 minutes for it to pop. Run the Circus race... wait 10 minutes for the reset (because of course the zones are all synced so you can only use one zone). The very worst case scenario is queuing for FM, having it pop in the middle of your race, deciding to exit the queue to finish the race you're almost done with, and then getting a failed race for no reason (this has been about a 1-in-5 shot for me so far). You end up literally sitting in your stupid vehicle for 20 minutes in order to complete one race.

    Maybe that's the standard (it's not, for the rest of the game), but if it is, it's obviously pretty awful.

    Maybe we should have pvp duels/herogames grant CM tokens. It is an arena afterall.

    Yes, the race is something I never participate in because I hate sitting around waiting for things to start. It's a lot like Cosmics in that way. Good thing we have the alert, which starts much more frequently. I guess some people actually asked for something like the race years ago though... but that means those people are the only ones obligated to participate in it.
  • Why can't we trade action figures to Toymaster for Malvanum gears?

    OH GOD! When did THIS Happened?

    Yes the Event is still terrible, I'm spending 8 hours going AFK and Racing but on the bright side I caught up with all the Podcasts and videogame videos i missed

    and FM is still a terrible cutscene spam alert

    Once again, there is a reason this event is on the bottom of the popularity​​

    I really don't have a problem with waiting for the race to start (it's the whole premise of the race I find at odds with the source genre). I always have something to read, whether it is some hard copy media or an online source. I never feel like I am wasting time, but I also don't feel like I am playing the game.

    I said this before the new patch notes came out, and if I remember correctly the distinguished chest plate gave 42 defense now its only 32. Literally yesterday the defense on the chest plate was 42, now its 32. What I'm saying is that it was slightly nerfed after the buff.
