    I'm all in for more GCR stuff and Powers even with the price Hijack...but... what is this?

    I finally got to test the power in PTS last night and it felt incredible ankward power, and the charging time was getting irritating

    Interesting that we are getting WATER powers under the WIND powerframe to say the least!
    Added Polar Bear head and Ice Sword weapon costumes to the event store.

    Shame Heavy Weapons are stuck with forced FIRE synergy with no synergy with ICE neither Electricity! Your Ice sword is creating clinging flames, how ankward​​

    Oh... people made me realize, it's just a reskin of PYRE from Fire, but with less! No wonder I'm not a fan of it​​
    Still really good AoE damage and innate knock

    and oh my god it's the SCRAPPED power which was created the same time with Holy Water years ago when Nightmare Invansion was released

    Shame that this Winter Event isn't all that big. I guess even CO's Christmas Spirit isn't invulnerable to nerfs.

    Blaster Quad bracer costume I unlocked when you slaughtered the crafting system are now gone. Any character I have that has them equipped cannot have their costumes edited, as it removes the piece, and it's in no drop down list, not even found in the 'trunk' of the editor.

    I'm friggen surprised that's the only costume I've lost.

    And here I thought that Unlocked icon next to the costume piece meant something.

    all the new stuff 400 wc wow didn't see that coming and the mission is just 20 each time once a day, you guys really don't want people unlocking everything.

    I just don't get it, doing this just pisses me and many casuals off, it is not like i don't have a life. But hay i do have money so guess i will do it that way, after all that's the only reason to change things like this.

    Makes people buy keys, get drifter salvage to get the packs of the currency. So when are you going to lower after new years, and then what will it be I am maybe thinking 400 = 350 or 300 and 300 will be like 250 or 200, and that will be it and then they will move some of the crap stuff to the 100 to 50 range maybe.

    I really just kind of don't play much any more as the same missions starting out is just tiresome, and end content is just die raise bash bash die raise repeat Ad nauseam.

    It is all about end i like the lower levels and playing more than the end content, how about a new starting area or more paths or no paths just random low level missions and side treks. And for gods sake some new freaking power sets not powers in boxes and behind currency walls and such.

    Any way sorry for rant

    We have a few options that can look like ice, but I don't think the 6-wing pixie style is available.

    First week only has one mission that give 20 token each, but doing the mission usually net more token. The projected target if you do the daily every day for that week is 140. I got 200 from all the token from killing the toy. This week add another 20 token mission, in which said mission drop token as well. You're looking at 50+ token a day, and you could achieve 400 before the third week happen. By then, its easy token farming.

    Added Weapon Display store. These devices will pull out a weapon and place you in the weapon pose. If you have the appropriate power, the weapon pulled out can be changed in the tailor. This device till detoggle when using any other power.
    REALLY disappointed you restricted the weapon display devices to NOT work with a Travel Power active! Despite working without an issue all this time (HALF YEAR) in PTS. There was no complain that those were causing trouble with TPs

    If i cant fly-run with the weapon out then whats the point? This alone is a Deal Breaker to me

    Also, the device should have been a TOGGLE

    At least they are available in Qstore, more Q value​​

    Yeah. If they lower prices, I can see an aura costing around 50 tokens. But yes things costing 400 to unlock a sword is just very not worth it. For 400 tokens I want to be able to unlock 2 costume pieces. You want to keep things attainable.

    That you know of. Take a moment, deep breath, put on your logic hat and think rationally. They wouldn't just arbitrarily make them not work with Travel Powers on a whim, or just to bully you. There's a reason they had to do it this way, and they would rather have done it the way you prefer. So when you say "I wish they would work with travel powers etc" you're preaching to the choir. I'm sure the devs have a lot of "I wish-" statements about this game... probably more than you me and everyone else.

    "should"? why?

    Because before Stoic Flight was even released, most people asked if they could either take away the irritating glowy visuals or make them optional. It's ridiculously petty and tone-deaf to ask so much for something we wanted with the original item.

    Whether something should be available or not is entirely arbitrary. Yes maybe you want something, but that doesn't mean it should be available. If people wanting something was a basis for something being available, then everything would need to be available all the time, and that's just not realistic.

    I've been waiting very patiently for personal magnifiers too.

    I know everyone is butthurt when my toon is too big but it hurt more when we were falsely promised something by the little guys.
