ZEN Store
Ghost Hunter Key Pack
This pack will be available until Monday, 10am.
Cost: 900 ZEN
- 10 Keys
- 1x Ghost Hunter Jumpsuit costume
Perks
- Event Perks that required you to trade in costumes now check to see if you have them unlocked instead.
Onslaught
- Updated event open mission areas to disable the use of Onslaught powers while in the open mission area (and for some time after exiting). This does not remove you from Onslaught mode, just prevents you from using any of your attacks.
Questionite
- The Toxic Rocket weapon system will be available in the store while the Bloodmoon event is active.
Devices
- Made a bunch of under the hood changes to most devices. This change does not impact device performance in any way, but if you notice a device acting differently than it was prior to this change please report it.
- Fixed an issue where the Flamethrower device automatically slotted itself in your power tray.
Recognition Store
- Added Ghosthunter Phase Rifle power variant device to the recognition store. This requires the Who Ya Gonna Call? (collect the Ghost Hunter costume set) perk to purchase.
- Added Flaming Pumpkin power variant device to the recognition store. This requires the Guiding Light (light 100 pumpkins) perk to purchase.
- Both devices can be traded once purchased.
Misc
- Change to help with game performance.
- Added perk for collecting all Vigilante costume pieces.

At long last, a brooooooom!
Swords and Shields!
Plant Abilities!
Time to make some mischief! (And maybe a couple of new toons!)
CRVendor....
Ok, shorten the cooldown on the jack-o-lanters, make then usable once per week....

These items require gold recognition and therefor are useless to me.
Something to sink all the Q, since Paperback is...poops.

Always love new types of travel powers and finally long awaited back arms. Could say that these are very tiny game changers for me in a sense.
Bug?
Vibora Bay's pumpkin seem to lag a bit before it count towards the perk.
Of course, since it requires GOLD CR, it's gonna cost you...
"The man I was is the crucible which has forged the man I have become."
It been so long since DEVs added items to the vendor, it felt that it was yet another abandomed currency vendor (just like Nemesis)
The only downside is that you have to wait the whole month for the next event weeks to get access to the other 3 Ghosthunter costumes for the required perk
On top of that as I said on PTS, The Ghosthunter Phase Rifle is a great addition and you can easily make a valiable DPS Theme build with it
We really need more ways for GCR, UNITY missions should give at least with its last mission some, some solo options simply would be nice as dailies since lairs are dumb by now to coordinate and monster week not helps also with people more fighting in chat or trolling then doing those bosses.
Only the "Who you gonna call" is account wide since it's tied with costume unlocks
logging on a character makes Perks take forever to load!
I think the first perk can take 3-4 pumpkins until it appears
10 - Jack-o'-Lantern
50 - Lost Soul
100 - Guiding Light
250 - Pumpkin King (the perk also unlocks the Pumpkin Queen title for people who are interested)
at 300 silver and 150 gold I'm pretty confident that I'm not going to see many at the AH and certainly not at prices I'm willing to pay.
Epic Stronghold
Block timing explained
Look, I play games to have fun and relax, that's the main reason I've completely written off GCR in the first place, I'm not interested in making contracts to buy items that I'm not willing to put the ridiculous amount of effort the devs deemed required to acquire these items. I'm willing to accept that this fun stuff goes to try hards who take the game very seriously and folks like me that just want to goof around and not do the hard content get passed over. When I log in I want to play the game, not wait around for enough people to start a mission, make plans, and when I play a hero game I kind of want to feel heroic.
I've already written this stuff off, although I do appreciate the suggestion, but I know this stuff wasn't designed for players like me so I'm not even going to bother with it. I'm sure someone is going to make a lot of G off of this.
The toxic rifle wasn't the hard one to get. Some of those costume unlocks, however... Let's just say I'm over halfway to my second Live, Die, Repeat perk, and i still had to trade for half the costume pieces.
I unlocked the emote on a brand new character and suddenly both Idles were available (none of them are account wide yet)
ALSO THIS ^
So if you're just doing the Trickery and the 5 mission reward, you're going to be 5 Credits short of unlocking the cheapest costume piece? Feels a bit like trolling.
Also, you can do ZA with a daily for 20 coins per day. ZA only takes a minute or two (depending on how stupid the survivors are being - there's no point in trying to survive, it's 5 coins + daily completion either way). I recommend suicide by zombie and then helping the zombie player convince any recalcitrant heroes to die.
It's not really pvp if death is the goal.
