Defender's National Training Program
  • For the next week we are running the Defender's National Training Program!
  • Players must level a brand new character to 40 within the event duration to qualify for the rewards.
  • The timer starts when the servers come up today, and end at next week's maintenance.
  • The only requirements are the character must be brand new, no existing characters, and must get to level 40 before maintenance next Thursday. it does not matter how you get to level 40.
  • Players will get a mission to speak with Defender regarding the event upon logging in.
  • Players will be rewarded immediately upon hitting level 40. If you do not get your rewards, try relogging.
  • The title and costume tokens must be claimed from the ZEN Store bonus tab.

Rewards:
  • Phenomenon Title
  • Retro Defender's helmet costume
  • Workout Dance emote
  • 2 Exclusive Costume Tokens





Costumes
  • Fixed an issue where Plated Bands texture lost a color channel.
  • Added Strap chest wear costume as a free costume piece.




Powers
Electric Siphon
  • Advantage: Fixed a bug where Charged Up wasn't being applied to allies.



Block
  • Fixed a bug where energy gained from blocking was not taking into account damage taken. This will result in higher energy returns when taking large hits.



Impressive Physique
  • Lowered the amount of shield this power gives, but it now takes into account your damage resistances and also scales with your Strength (and anything that would normally boost shields other than presence).
  • Stand Your Ground adv: Renamed to Superiority Complex. Lowered amount of knock res this advantage gives, but can now knock back targets that damage you while maintaining this power.
  • New Advantage (1): Reduces the cooldown the longer you maintain it.


Bugfixes
  • Mechanical Monstrosity: Fixed costume selection bug.
  • Haymaker: Fixed a bug where the Reckless Strike advantage was always active.




Misc
  • Known Issue: Bug reports submitted will not show a ticket number in game, but are submitted. This does not affect GM tickets.

    Is that the same dance emote as the last time this ran?

    Also, it'd be lovely if those exclusive costume tokens had anything new to buy. As an LTS, I already have everything in that store - but it's a great opportunity for anyone who does not.

    It is a different dance.
  • fusheng42fusheng42 Posts: 24 Arc User
    So I create a character, bypass the tutorial and go straight to Defender and then start leveling up the new character from evel 1-40 for this week's challenge. correct?

    It does not matter what you do to get to 40, just that the character is created between now and next Thursday's maintenance and gets to 40 before next Thursday's maintenance.

    Cosmics aren't mentioned, so no their rewards are unaffected. Adventure Packs and Comic Series are a series of missions, 2 of which start from Until Liaison Bradley in Rencen ( Aftershock and Project Snakecharmer ), and the other 2 start at Defender in Rencen ( Whiteout and Resistance ).

    I just did Whiteout today, and the final mission reward included 10,000 Q-nite for finishing it, if that helps to know.​​

    Hmm, all the vehicles in the weekly store are 700. Is it possible to get that many in a week?
    7x cats =210
    7x destorids = 175
    That's only 385. To get 700 in one week I figure you'd have to do Attend to the City's Needs 7x as well (= another 350). Might be a bit stiff unless you have currency from the previous week or from previous years.

  • Is there any way to get the Jazzercise dance? I have to work 7 day shifts sometimes and don't have enough time to level a character to 40 to receive the Exclusive tokens and emotes.. :/

    The Retro Defender helmet has a very thin line of gold (with the colors he's using) that runs through the middle of the black on the top of his head. It's visible unless you're zoomed in so far that you can't see much else on the screen other than the head.

    This has come up on several otherwise excellent costume pieces throughout the years. Since this particular piece requires the equivalent of a part-time job to acquire this week, maybe somebody could look at fixing it so it will look okay if you're using two different colors?

    easiest way is to grind low lvl mobs, quite possible to get 100 favour an hour that way

    BUG: Power Skating still breaks the character spine with Maintaining powers (including Power Armour Toggles)

    as for the other maintances, REALLY not a fan of this Junky animation it was given to avoid the issue, it basically use the glitch spaz animation for when your ground travel powers get glitched :|
    I know thats a hotfix buts its so U G L Y

    EDIT: actually its still broken in everything not just PA, somehow the power was glitching until a certain level
    hmm I think it was linked with the power's rank i was using (Bullet Hail rank1 and rank 3 do that)​​

    I gotta say, considering that Top Ten is implied to have sinister motives, they really nailed the feeling of this event being run by villains. Grind upon grind!
  • chaosdrgnz43chaosdrgnz43 Posts: 1,674 Arc User
    Yay! Impressive Physique's shield is useful now! Also, you guys should really give a preview for these new emotes. No, an image isn't enough. Make a gif or video, CO has a YouTube for goodness sake!

    I agree, so does that mean we have to lvl a toon to 40 once again just to get the retro defender helm?? what if players already did this last time it was run ???

    Then you got the rewards from the last time the event happens. If they redid the event with the same rewards, sure, you could skip it. They decided to have different rewards (and you can still skip it, you'll just lose out on the rewards).

  • I think the dance should be slowed down, movements are way too fast so they look rather weird.

    Looks like you're playing the game on fast forward.

    STOP OVERTHINKING IT

    The only rules are:

    1. Character created after start date.
    2. Character level 40 before end date.

    That's it. That's all. Those are the only rules. If something isn't mentioned in 1 or 2 it doesn't matter.

    Yeah, I just came back from a long hiatus. I've got some Zen sitting around from my LTS stipend being ignored for years. Grinding the last 10 levels won't be too taxing, and another set of Primary Heirlooms looks appealing.

    if you intend buying a lvl 30 boost and grinding last ten levels, you'd be better off grinding first 24 levels (you start at 6) then buying 10 +1 lvl boosts that cost the same as a lvl 30 boost. Its far far faster to lvl from 6-30 than it is from 30-40

    My only complain with the new dance emote it's it doesnt unlock every individual part of the dance as option like Jazzercise (8 EMOTES)

    and BOY, those are a lot of different animations together... what is this dance based on?​​

    They said get a new char to lv40 by ANY MEANS. So yeah, I think that counts. RIP your Zen tho.

    Yeah, I just came back from a long hiatus. I've got some Zen sitting around from my LTS stipend being ignored for years. Grinding the last 10 levels won't be too taxing, and another set of Primary Heirlooms looks appealing.

    if you intend buying a lvl 30 boost and grinding last ten levels, you'd be better off grinding first 24 levels (you start at 6) then buying 10 +1 lvl boosts that cost the same as a lvl 30 boost. Its far far faster to lvl from 6-30 than it is from 30-40

    That reminds me, what's the most efficient way to grind these days? I've been running XP Alerts.

    I did jail mobs in westside to 12 then the destroids in ren cen, topping up the alert buff as needed

    Use your tricked out super vehicle with the huge AoE attacks and do all outdoor missions. Pop into Grabs to top up the XP buff as needed.

    There are a few clusters in the game where you can get ten or twelve missions all in the same area and wander around and pretty easily complete all of them at once. For example, Gadget Boy and Doctor Toru next to the group of Qularr on Monster Island, or the cluster of missions around the dome city of Lemuria. I usually try and hit all these with a grab bonus and an item bonus. Between them it's more of a scramble.

    I agree with several players on this thread, the exclusive costume tokens are basically worthless to any lifetime members or gold members that have been playing for awhile How about some new items to buy at the store or a different worthwhile reward ! After all we are spending a lot of time and/or money to get to level 40 at least make it worth it.

    Exchange them for those new additions in the dev store.

    I’m even willing to compromise that 5 exclusives = 1 Dev special costume voucher

    Love the Retro Ironclad pieces. Useful for quite a few themes :)
