Red Banner Ruin Event
  • We are bringing back the Red Banner event that ran many years ago with a few additions! Talk with Drifter to pick up the missions.
  • Daily Mission: Defeat Red Banner around Millennium City and collect artifacts. Artifacts will now go into your mission bag and can be picked up by walking over the item. Awards Questionite.
  • Daily Mission: Complete the Fury of the Dragon Alert. Awards Questionite.
  • New Mission: Complete the Streets Run Red mission 5 times. Awards the Painted mask costume.
  • New Mission: Complete the Fury of the Dragon mission 5 times. Awards the Celestial Dragon Breath device.
  • The Enforcer Red Banner enemy will now use Claw themed attacks (instead of Bestial themed ones).
  • Added preview images for Red Banner costume unlocks.




Fury of the Dragon Alert
  • Fixed an issue where Hi-Pan's chat bubbles did not always appear during the cutscenes.
  • Added an additional requirement to defeat the Red Banner to progress to Hi-Pan.
  • Fixed an issue where enemies would get stuck at times when knocked off. Knocking off enemies will now defeat them.
  • Fixed a bug where the resource reward was being given out as if the player was level 1.
  • Gave Hipan a new area effect attack that he uses at low health.
  • Updated the visuals of Hipan's attacks.
  • The Enforcer Red Banner enemy will now use Claw themed attacks (instead of Bestial themed ones).
  • The Sorcerer Red Banner foe has gained a couple new attacks at high level.
  • Added preview images for Red Banner costume unlocks.




Lockbox
  • For the next week the Collector's Lockbox will be dropping from foes!
  • Added the contents of the Scion Lockbox to the Collector's store.




ZEN Store
  • Costumes and Auras are on sale for the next week.




Drifter
  • Drifter's event currency store has been removed and replaced with event specific stores that will be available while the event is running.

    I remembered liking this admittedly simple event when it first came out and was thinking just a few weeks ago that I'd rather have had this for Chinese New Years rather than the Nightmare event.

    In the future please Consider bringing back the Mission which was given when Lemurian Invansion was released

    How about revamping HiPan so that he does not come across as such a racist Chinese stereotype. He sounds like those awful Jerry Lewis impressions.

    Yeah, I do realize he's modeled after Lo Pan from Big Trouble in Little China, but maybe getting an actual Chinese American voice actor to redo all those lines wouldn't be a bad idea.

    That's the whole point, and why he's funny. We need more stuff like him. That's why you call the alert the yellow mcdonald's.

    I have to agree. I'm asian and I don't really care. He is more or less a reference from an old movie. People are quite too sensitive sometime.

    I'll be honest, I had completely forgotten this Lockbox existed. Partly because no Ultimate, and partly because it looks like something that didn't make the cut for the Zen Store's Tights Packs.

    Please never listen again to the "we need more Tights" crowd o3o They know nothing about the real world outside their basement​​

    Loving the Animation Update on Hi Pan, he is now casting Lighting Arc out of his Staff and is using the Electric Ultimate
    Feels more natural and thematic
    The Enforcer Red Banner enemy will now use Claw themed attacks (instead of Bestial themed ones).
    First Nether Demon and DOGz using NPC exlusive Fighting Claws Lunge and now Red Banners! and including the 25feet lunge device from Blood Moon...
    STOP TEASING US WITH FIGHTING CLAWS REVAMP :grimace:​​

    So staff powers for players when?
    Squishy DPS builds that can solo QWZ w/videos.
    My super cool CC build and how to use it.

    I dunno, loads of the magic abilities would work with a wand/staff as an emanation point. Of course setting a power to use that sort of emanation point might be hard though....
