Edit: Seems the Sub Server isn't working, tired resetting PC and WIFI
Concurred notion, it's irksome that the game forcibly removed dailies and costume-missions, some of which people were in progress of. I had [Save the Swag] and it was dropped, and the system "was unable" to re-add it, so the game treated it like I just dropped it and is forcing me to wait for the 20 hour cooldown incurred from taking it last night.
> Yup. Also less than impressed by the removal of the Wrecker archetype from the event store. Was looking forward to getting that, but nope. It's gone.
This had to be a mistake. Based on the event not ending until 4/20, they clearly intended this update to happen on Thursday to make it a two-week event, not today. It's the only thing that makes sense, but I'm guessing there isn't a way to fix it.
I guess this wouldn't seem so bad if they had told us before it happened that this was going to happen.
It's not like they went out of their way to inconvenience everyone, it's very rare that they even do it like that. I can't recall any other time off hand.
Chances are pretty good that the 5 time costume unlock missions are simply overwritten year after year. Considering they likely only have to swap out rewards and change the displayed name.
But this is Champions Online. It should have been expected.
Kind of like when Sidekicks/Henchmen devices were awarded in the past as unbound only to become bound midway thru the event. I've lost count how many I have in my storage that are now bound... unused, but bound nonetheless. Working as intended!
I have thirteen characters doing it so that's 1105 Foxbat credit gone (from the daily cred and the set cred each) and no longer able to get the costume.
I'll be contacting customer support to get this issues resolved, because it was important that the characters got the 85 credit each individually.
You really think they're going to give you those credits when they were just being nice to allow us to work on it before it was ready because they had problems?
Learned their lesson huh? Guess if it ever happens again they'll just make us wait and not let us farm extra tokens/bags. Talk about entitled.
That argument doesn't work in regards to the cooking pot.
Don't use entitled in a negative context as it either implies poor will against the devs or that you don't know what it means at all.
Nevermind the fact that the pot wouldn't have been there at all if they had made you wait. Just an unintended consequence.
I earned it. So yes I am entitled to the reward. Saying I'm screaming is projection. You have no stake in this so sit down.
They obviously wanted to but couldn't. Some folks are happier that they put up the old event until they could implement the newer one and others aren't. I probably would have posted a notification on the mission limitations and that active missions would be dropped when the new version went live but, otherwise, issues happen.
Exactly this. However, if they can't bother to edit the OP to fix "Added Nena action figure to the ??? store." they likely wouldn't do that either.
April Fools Event "Buggy" perk rewards "Colectible" title. Not sure if intended.
Yeah, we now have two Collectible titles.
That's not a mistake, they like to be secretive about the Rock Store ???.
Anyway, considering the issues with patching for Cryptic games today, and the insane difficulty, is there any chance you guys could leave this new Hot Buggy Mess event up for an extra day or two?
However, everyone waited around in that zone for the 5 minute Fail timer to reset and we went at it again. Still died a lot, but we succeeded.
Next one, I brought an AoRP healer and only died 3x and the mission went very fast.
Therefore, I like that the Qularr Error boss was using an assortment of every boss' powers. The minions were fine. I think too many players were focusing on the minions far from the boss, when they should have focused on the boss.
My feeling on the mission: for a one day per year Event fight, I liked it the way it is. Everyone had to keep on their toes. When you died, respawn and get back over to the Boss. Rewards I received were minor, but I expect RNG from all fights.

"Okay, you're DEAD, what do you do NEXT?"
I was surprised to see that this change was applied to all of my existing Reinforced Swag Bags automatically. Was worried that I was going to have to go to the Fixer for this on every alt. Does this mean you've figured out a way to make such changes without any need for a stop at the Fixer for all devices or just bags?
Just the bags since it is an inventory capacity change. Devices can't be retrofixed directly because of all the variables and versions out there.
It depends on the item. Most items we can retrofix, but there are a bunch we can't (usually older devices as they were generated based on your level and the item quality).
