When is the next dang trade paperback week!
Do past unlocks count, or does one have to start from scratch?
Still going strong!

REALLY?
FOR REAL?
RANK 3 VEHICLE MODS to Celebrate the first week?
This new slider will probably make some costume pieces look wonky. Right now, Vigilante Straps Raised kinda looks weird if you increased chest/neck length. But it's easy to cover it up since it's a chest layer.

Can we report a dev for trolling? XD
Also I already want to hang myself from a catless tree. Can't believe such a poorly designed mission keeps being a thing.
Ha, figured we would get flak for that! But the reasoning is we didn't want to put anything super duper expensive in the store week 1 since currency was reset to 0 and week stores only stick around...a week (in the past we added become devices week 1 but those were all dispersed to other areas of the game).
Vehicle mods haven't seen much circulation since they were removed from Lockbox drops years ago, so we decided to go with those.

I don’t know much about DCUO – but I was browsing through the unlockables, and while nowhere near CO’s level of customization, their costumes seem to be on point: quality, polish, theme, not straying too much from the source/genre – still leaving space for the occasional wacky/silly stuff. I’d rather a Costume Set with fewer pieces but with a solid theme and look, much like some of our older sets: Millennium Tights, Golden Age, 90’s...
To increase the value of Costume Sets: instead of Tights 1, Tights 2, Boots 1, Boots 2… stick to one design with a strong enough theme, and play with it, create variations, add patterns etc. (On that note: mad props for adding the Vigilante pattern to existing pieces, like subligar).
We haven't had costumes like these in forever.
Look at chars from DC, Marvel and whatnot… what do they look like (or used to)? What would a cool hero-themed set look like? What’s left to explore? What basic costume pieces are we still missing? Instead of 27 Goth/Rave/BurningMan type of footwear repeated over and over, what would be new/add to CO? A different heel type (wedge, stiletto, holo-heel...), variations in length (thigh-high, long/default, ankle…). Neck/collar/chest pieces that pair nicely with tights. Basic, quintessential hero-themed, versatile pieces - rather than super-whimsical, niche-y and all over the place.
Anyways. Overall, an ok update.
ALL of this

I was going to comment on that, adding the pattern to Basic Armor for chest and the Subligar is a HUGE win in my book. That little bit of extra efforts means everything.
WHY is Vigilante Straps a CHEST PIECE and not a arms accessory?
BUG: Same happens with the Glitterbomb Transformation
The perk is only giving the Glitter Bomb title but not the account wide unlock
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say the same will apply for the Surprise Gift
Seems those 10-character perk unlocks for transfromations will always have issues
EDIT: The Gift Transformation perk is also bugged
Ahhh! This is soooo awesome! Thank you so much for the tailoring waiver! Please consider extending it for a little while longer, if not the rest of the anniversary event itself!
Swords and Shields!
Plant Abilities!
The mission was reset if you happened to have it, suggesting it was fixed.
It wasn't.
You can still only collect one Viper Weaponry. The item Tool-tip indicates it stacks to 99, but also says unique. Because the mission item drops directly into your bag and is not normal loot, I assume the 'Unique' property is blocking it from auto-dropping into your bag.
I assume the issue here is because they set the mission items in the area to auto-loot to avoid lagging the Cosmics, and/or it's an issue with the changes for the mission item bag.
