    Confirmed and carried over from my PTS comment: Rabies advantage on Bite still isn't refreshing poisons

    Infernal Blast also doesn't seem to be refreshing poisons consistently.

    I'm a bit worried that without a "Do the mission 5x to get a costume piece" mission that Nighthawk will not pop except at peak hours. For events that run for 2 weeks there should be some kind of inducement like that to get old hands, who already have all the old costume pieces, to run the mission and thus help out other players.

    I'm usually done with the event with extra tokens and nothing interesting to buy. You'd think that characters bounding stuff like vehicles would get people to farm more but it doesn't. For me character bounding farmed items doesn't get me to play more. The inducement is we need a **** ton of costume sets in the Z Store for players to buy. After 12 years of existence we can fairly agree everything is understock on variety. The real problem is CO releasing stuff very slow. So of course players are seeing less need to force farm everything. Every new added to that game is either an easy participation reward or an extremely hard drop rate. Me as a lifer know all this because I'm well on my way of over 200 characters and designs but CO variety wise cannot facilitate regardless of all they have. Too add they focusing mainly on lockboxes and 2 new items an event. Too much focus on one thing is bad for business.

    They could add a second currency that only Lifetimers can collect for participation. This currency will be used on exclusive devices that cost points for every use. Or LTS temp devices or whatever. And put 100s of more interest **** in the Z Store that I can purchase.

    Another problem is the expiration of currency. We lost a lot of players with that. A lot of petty changes are causing us to lose players and the devs doesn't recognize it's not doing us any good. Why should I farm extra currency if they just going to wipe it in December? Clearly these strategies are having opposite effects. The whole 5 five and finish thing doesn't work.

    While I can agree on the whole "we need something else for events" I don't agree with making it something only LTS can get, that's going to be restricting the Silver players even more than the game already does imo, and I don't think that's a wise strategy for the future of the game. You wouldn't want to lock even MORE things behind LTS into forcing a new player to drop $250 USD just to get something just for a filler event that will rerun later in the year... would you? Just my opinion on this one point, it's fine to disagree with it.

    I just want something that encourages ALL players to invest real money in the game. I've got all the exisiting costumes, auras and vehicles I want from the Z store. About the only thing I pay real money for these days is fusing catalysts when that Event roles around. Put more good stuff in the Z store and I will buy it.

    Basically, the same issue with 2nd week of High Noon!

    Hostly, they need to expand the power sets and add more, and fix those they have, doing this would draw in many players adding one small end game fight that from my point is boring as hell, just not cutting it. Mostly they are fixed gimmicky and have only really one way that can be done, tend to lock out players when they die and many other things like drops that are all but impossible to get. I would love a new starting area, maybe across the bridge, with new and expanded power set new missions not just a path but some real random missions that you could level from.

    MORE! POWER! UPDATES!👏👏👏👏
