this is the closest thing we can get to resemble GEM-DIAMOND and honestly it works very good!
I love the idea of making material auras Skin and Tights focused instead of full model
Thinking of all the future possible costume experimentations if we get more auras like this
AKA The ICE QUEEN Sword Don't you mean Snow Storm key PARK?
Typo in the banner for 3rd year in the row
Strap Neck shows up on Females as Frigid, not Strap. It's fine on Males, however.
There is one small hiccup:
Reprint Event
Circus Malvanum Vendor
The Vendor does not have its Auras category enabled.
Small request, if it's possible this late. Would it be possible to add the (absolutely amazing) new Frigid Sword as a Leg Accessory part alongside other rapier and short sword costumes? Side Sword, Amazon, etc.. I am already in love with it and look forward to using it. Thanks so much to the designers for that addition.
Again, if possible, I’d like to request a version of the Crystal aura that affects only the SKIN tissue and HAIR, + maybe also eyes/eyebrows of the character - (no effect on tights & any other costume pieces)! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you.
(PS: The Rainbow Crystal aura still looks bugged on PTS. Picture on the PTS thread.)
It makes me wonder if it is missing any other tabs or items.
Not for me. I Like that the aura does not affect the hair. Maybe add one that does to make everyone happy?
Really? Can I see your creation with it because this does work for me?
(Tequilla Diamond)
WTH is this bro?
Edit:
It also glossed over the gloves when it not supposed to.
I'll also ague that not a single Emma Frost has not diamonized hair with her transformation.
Not because it's a fantasy world it should lack common sense.
Colossus hair turn metal with his transformation but not his clothes. That makes sense.
Johnny Storm hair turns fire with him but his clothes does not burn off. Not sensible. Some nonsense about unburnable fabric that is never explained.
Invisible Girl hair turns invisible too and so does her suit. That's understandable if she can turn objects invisible as well.
Adamantium and vibranium, nonsense indestructible metals that only conveniently molds when it has to make something.
If Emma Frost was turned to diamond and not her hair well that's just dumb on so many levels I shouldn't have to explain. Maybe her hair would get blown off after a fight.
I'm not going to ridiculously refarm something that doesn't work sensibly
Edit:
This is the same thing spordelia was talking about. Hair is a body part regardless.
But the fact remains that there's a want for a full-body version of this aura, affecting only the skin tissue + hair, eyes, eyebrows…. etc (as though the character were naked) – and not their costume, at all.
Those include:
- Hairs
- Head
- Eyes and Eyebrows
- Chest
- Hands
- Legs
- Feet
- Tails
That’d about solve the problem and everyone’s happy! ¯\_
A currency drops, but when you go over it, you get no currency, and the item vanishes. I suspect those are Snake Bucks, but you either cannot get them, or they are dropping a previous year's version of the currency, so they are not showing in your wallet.
Either way, that and the missing aura category on the Circus Malvanum vendor should mandate a 1 week extension of this micro event.
Also, please leave the vendors up until the New Year, even if the missions and currency drop go away.
About how I felt when they put the Ghost Hunter Jumpsuit in the cosmic category.
Q-Store is a nice add but not going to fix my problem. I need it as an aura so it just works in combat.
I'd just settle for a 'Crystal Aura (Hair)'
The holidays is coming and I don't see this for a certain period my guess would be it's not being done.
Hey, I decide that’s what I want this Christmas. The gifts of short-sightedness and egocentrism. Lemme try the /trade channel. brb
I'm already pushing all my alts to participate so I can get all the rewards, but with most of the event prizes being "Bind on pick up", it takes away from working toward Aura's or other prizes that are 400, even with the free 20 currency for the day. One more week would make it manageable if you can find it in your hearts to bless us.
I hope you wasn't referring to Taquilla Diamond as 'lame and fleeting' because she is one of the most invincible characters in my verse right now. She might look like simple but right now I have a lot of stories being wrote about her. She a sliver clothing celebrity you may mistake for a basic girl but has the mentality of an angry Colombian narcotic lord which is the enemies of her crooked background. One she cannot be possessed by my main a ghost Rave which is his thing to possess ladies. She unlike many of my other characters has the ability to go on missions without his spirit following her. She once saved Roman Rave when he was brainwashed and reduced to a mommy loving little boy just because of her powers she cannot be mind control. And her background helps Rave combat the world of cartels. So this girl is far from falling flat.
I'm sorry if saying 'I' sounds selfish but I'm not going to push a whole bunch of things I'm not gonna use. 'My problem' is I want to take new screenshots of her to use in my stories ugently and cannot go around on a broad brush. I have to explain to the dev on the point or they often butcher the end result.
Regardless I'm still not wrong. I need this hair aura done or it really puts a bummer on me. Crystal as material is good for a later date. But right now it is being released as auras. And in no way it being released as hair is going to benefit me alone.
Another problem as material it might created is that I'd have to use two costume slots instead of one. And I'd have to change back and forth in costumes while fighting. I just think the in-combat aura version is better. Mind you I did not shun this idea.
Still can't update her page till I get the hair version. 🙃
I'm out on the north side of Monster Island, farming tokens ... or trying to. When, all of a sudden, I get a message that "You spent 669 Snake Bucks."
What?? I'm no where near any vendor to spend them, when the game decides I DID and now they're gone.

"Okay, you're DEAD, what do you do NEXT?"
Also not seeing the Cyrogenic Keypack listed at https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/champions-online/news/detail/11533143. Was assuming it would be listed around the time of normal server restart.
This is a big journey, so far if you're reading this, wish you a good day
