    The new sigils can miss stationary targets. The powerhouse dummies will sometimes not be hit by the sigils.

    I am specifically talking about the dummies that can't be knocked and can't move. I've seen this happen on Alert bosses too without them moving at all. I understand that supposedly with the spawn being at 20ft and the explosion at 20ft, it should hit and it should miss if the target moves out of the range, but my observations and tests have been showing the first part to not be true.

    The patch notes state the sigils will spawn within 20ft of the target's initial location but not what the explosion radius is. It could be 20 ft as well but I'm wondering if it may be smaller?

    Alright. Very nice.

    Paid my way to 40 and intends to do a second the hard way but I lack motivation.

    Any chance of getting pilates yoga like that sit up emote in future?

    If it runs for 2 weeks, shouldn't it be from 3/3-3/17? The news article shows 3/3-3/15 which implies an unusual tuesday maint.

    Hmm, if it really does end on 3/15 there will probably be a fair number of people who will be thinking that 2 weeks means a full 2 weeks and won't finish their leveling in time (i.e. by 3/15 since they are expecting it to go to 3?17), and then be quite angry that CO messaging messed up again. Probably the devs should do some editing in this post, in the News section and make an announcement on Discord to clarify this ASAP.

    Hmm, the official announcement from Ambassador Kael at https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/champions-online/news/detail/11510273-defender's-national-training-program!
    still says "Create a new character after 9 AM PT on 3/3, and get that character to level 40 before 9:00 AM PT on 3/15". Since those are offically posted precise dates that have not been changed to reflect the "two weeks" posted above it seems that it's going to end on the 15th, not the 17th. There will be some howls of dismay when some people count on the 17th and are disappointed that the CO staff could not better corrdinate announcements.
