    I don't know what this will sound like in-game yet, but finally! I can't stress enough how annoying that sound is and how people opening gifts don't seem to care about doing this around crowds. It was so bad that I would take off my headphones while it was happening.

    Any chance that any of the Alien Organic Rifles could be made useable as back costume pieces? Maybe the Alien Organic Pistols could be made Leg and Belt Accessories?

    Love it! But could we please get the shorts as an option for Female Toons too?

    Uh, were the magnifier auras and UI option meant to be pushed live as well? Because someone let me know they're now available on the Q store, I went and bought them, and the mega-magnifiers don't even work.

    Why can't the Shrinker be used in combat, too?

    Plus, you return to normal size after like a hot millisecond, what's up with that? :confused:

    The largest one seem to work fine.
    And the Aura release may have been an accident. :#
    Probably going to hear more next week.

    We had intended to release them next week, but they slipt into this week's build.

    That said, if they are not working for you, you likely already have another magnifier effect running. They will not stack with any others.

    There are two types of auras, the Mega Magnifiers and the regular Super versions.

    Super versions act like their device counterpart, can be seen by others regardless of disruptive fx setting, but cannot be used it combat.

    The Mega magnifiers can be used in combat, but require the setting to be enabled to see other people using it.


    We will add a conversion store for people who want to convert the device versions of super magnifier/super shrinker to the aura versions next week, but there will be no conversions for Mega magnifiers.​​

    I figured out the issue. The auras weren't activating because of the Giant Growth advantage on Enrage, I think. If my Enrage power is on, the aura won't work even if equipped. I was pretty sure that this wasn't the case on PTS, but given that the megas persist through combat, it makes the advantage sort of obsolete?

    To clarify, the mega-magnifier aura activates only when the Enrage+Giant Growth advantage is toggled off and runs out.

    Can also confirm that the Super-Shrinker aura does not persist and returns to normal size after a few seconds.


    UPDATE: Just went on the PTS and the current build there also counts Giant Growth as an effect that can't be stacked. Looks like I may have a respec in my future...?

    Not to sure what this is saying. You cannot convert a Super Magnifier device to a to a Mega Maginifer Aura?

    Either way I have to get several of them anyway.
