    Thank you. I honestly didn't mind the first few times, but now it's getting too redundant every time I decide I want to go to Vibora Bay with some new character I created and leveled up. There are so many missions after the Crisis that I have never done because I had already reached level 40. Now I'll actually have an incentive to do them. Thanks again.

    Now now, let's not devolve into that sort of thing.

    I've done the Crisis over 100 times, I think I got a couple of toons that haven't reached level 34 yet, and a couple that I never bothered to finish the crisis with, so it's probably a bit late for me, but I welcome this change whole heatedly. It's good that this zone isn't locked behind the Crisis anymore, but sadly a lot of the vibora missions are kind of trash, however their are a few gems in this zone, and the ones I liked in particular involve Foxbat.

    I've done the previous missions, but am not getting the third from Dr. Ka, just a repeat of the first two. Is there something else required to unlock it?

    Have you done chapter 3?
  • phasestarphasestar Posts: 126 Arc User
    I did the entire first serial and have done the first two of the second part. I'm trying to get the third part to unlock without luck so far.

    3rd chapter of Serene Abyss is a box near Irwin, chapter 4 is the final part of Serene Abyss.

    Please proof read mission text before pushing it to live servers.
    Bug
    Dr. Ka text for mission "A Life in Hiding"
    2nd Paragraph, 17th word.
    "here" should be "her"

    i know you think nobody reads your mission text, but some of us do.

    a question, does the account wide unlock count for the Mime emote too? because it also drops from the boxes in the swag bags.

    This is a very welcome improvement. Vibora Bay has always been very cool, but very hard to access compared to other parts of the game.

    And while on the subject of access, how about some quick, easy access improvements to UNITY 2 set in Vibora Bay? See this thread: https://arcgames.com/en/forums/championsonline#/discussion/1208106/unity-2-making-it-more-accessible. Not asking for a entire revamp of the system - just some simple fixes that would make UNITY 2 much easier to access for the vast majority of the playerbase. :)

    So this seems new, and irritating...Investigating Foxbats around the city and I cannot investigate a Foxbat that I have previously clicked on. I understand not doing it right away as they seem to respawn quickly, but this is DAYS later! How about a 24 hour clock on the ones previously investigated. Otherwise, to finish the Foxbat hunt for 10 days, we'll need to find 100 unique Foxbats! I have had a hard enough time finding 20 (2 dailies completed).

    The foxbat timer is I think 7 days. There are 100 foxbats around the city.

    You need some sort of perk/title for anyone who finds the foxbat backup device and then activates it on the stage in the rec center, because only then have you really brought Foxbat to the convention

    What happened to the jumbo glasses costume that were introduced last year?
