    Bug, or unlisted "new feature"; The temporary Sidekicks (The ones you can summon for an hour) you can get from the UNTIL recog store are gone.

    These Heraldry Visors need Top Accessory for the head or open option for Eye Accessory to have open visor.

    My guess is this is intended to address the low price of perm sidekicks. The gold sidekick voucher is easily the cheapest/least desirable of the gold vouchers, and this isn't something they want for a high rarity lockbox item. By eliminating temp sidekicks, people will be forced to get perm ones instead, driving up demand and market value.

    Green Gang-War type devices, which are supposed to just be one-use now instead of three-use, seem to be infinite-use instead. I'm assuming that's a bug.

    Can we get a progress tracker added to the new Vigilance mission please?

    Did they change the Hi-Pan Alert? I'm taking massive damage despite not being near the black orb, you used to be able to stand safely in the middle of the yin/yang thing without taking damage but I got wrecked today despite being (I thought) in the exact center, and I also got destroyed for just being too close to the edge.

    Is the Vigilance mission even progressing? Maybe it is just broken and anything being done now doesn't count towards progress.

    • New Vigilance: Complete any custom alert daily mission 3 times, rewards Questionite Ore, Silver Recognition and UNTIL Recognition. Repeatable weekly.

    This is really unfortunate. It caters to those who grind alerts relentlessly on just one or two characters, while cutting out casual players who only do the custom alerts when they happen to log into a character and see the current alert is one they need for the 'old' vigilance. I am certainly in the latter category.

    Grinding an alert repeatedly is tedious and unfun for me and I am fairly certain, many others. Thanks for making one more aspect of the game less fun.

    Could the normal adds be deactivated around the towers in the event? It is very annoying to get aggro of those as healer getting knocked back and forth by them, also unable to revive someone due to those often attack you out of sight. With the normal ASCII OM they also run off mostly after all.

    On the bright side this upcomming STE is going to be my last. I'll never have to do it again to complete the 8 special missions to do vigilance. I'm happy avoiding it completely once my current vigilance missions are done.
