    Looks like some nice stuff added to the event store and nice to see some of the ultimates getting some attention. Here's hoping that a mod fusion bonus week is in the near offing.

    Overall very nice. Folks are going to love the ultra rare free Freeform slot. I especially like that the Freezing Gale device can apply Hardfrost to multiple targets.

    The Swan Tights and the Flowing Hair are the costume pieces I am looking forward to.

    This is a much better set of release notes compared to last week.

    I'll get this out of the way first and say, while I love the changes to the powers, I don't understnad why we were previously told certain powers won't get changed outside of reworks. There are a lot of small changes like this that can do a world of difference for the game, and seeing patches like this really, really helps.

    Fantastic looking costumes; great to see double XP and alert week; meh drops from Kiga, but a great patch.

    And most of all, thank you for not adding another character-specific costume piece to the store. Please continue to never do that again.

    Kinda wish you made the new mod and device drop from something other then Kiga. We don't need yet another reason to go to Kiga. We need reasons to do something besides cosmics.

    Some people complain that they can't get all the things/stuff they want out of events in the game because they have limited time and can't grind events and do end game at the same time. Maybe this is a nod to that issue?

    where is the fur coat from last year? I hate when y'all do this. People would expect to see last year stuff at least one more time.

    Any chance to extend Double XP one more week? Many people have time off starting this weekend and would love to leverage Double XP to level up characters.

    the swan costume looks awesome, but who was responsible for the flowing hair? It looks ridiculously bad, even on female toons :s

    At least I think that's what they were going for.

    At least I think that's what they were going for.

    AGREED... they were going for a "SHE-RA" mock up but the sides are to "poofy" ?? it looks like a short hairdo merged with a long back end, they shouldve smoothed out the sides to make it all look like 1 hairstyle... love the poofyness of the back though...

    I’d like to commend the design of Swan Tights, it’s a nice enough look, it’s sleek, modern, versatile and not overly whimsical or fluffy and niche. The kind of stuff we need more of. :+1:
