    BBCode:
    Bug
    Despite it being unlocked, the Umbrella Hat does not appear in the tailor. Neither Male or Female or by using the Search tab.

    Don't know if it's intentional, but the perks for the Action Figure Ray still count for using the device on yourself despite the description explicitly saying to hit other players.

    What and where is the ??? store?

    Why auras for invisible hands and feet instead of costume unlocks when aura slots are limited?

    Went in and tried the invisible feet aura, went partial on my legs and... there were 2 flat disks floating in the air.

    And why does it stop working while in combat? There is no reason for it AT ALL.

    Don't get excited, the Auras get disabled during combat

    Which defeats the entire point! Only usable out of combat and for fancy Costume Content

    Fully 100% Committing to make Full Body Invisibility completely inaccessible and unobtainable during Combat because it would be a huge exploit advantage during PeeVeePee apparently :unamused:

    Too bad PvP is already borked ... sheesh they could make it so it shows up in PvP only. Since it is literally Player vs Player and not general Coop. Health bars turn Gray to other players. When that triggers or when going into a PvP map it could turn off invisibility or give players a special outline that would show where you are.

    Or just make auras not work in PvP. The hands and feet are already impossible to see in combat as is.

    Ahem. If there was an outline effect, then they could make an entirely invisible character that would show up. Like a stick figure..... stick figure fight.

    • Added Clown Feet, Invisible Hands, Invisible Feet, Dizzy auras to the event store.

    Add another aura that makes both hands and feet invisible in a single aura item. Or at least an out of combat device.

    Lead Pipe, Street Lamp and Fennec Fox are missing from the store, or do they come next week?

    Can you give the Action figure "Nena" squeaky ballon noises ?

    Also maybe a Balloon flight Travel Power for a Keypack ?

    Not gonna lie, got disappointed realizing Nena doesn't make Squicky sounds why it walks 😂


    Looks like its using the Dog AF 100% as a base because it makes clicking sounds and it start digging out of nowhere

    Yes

    Interesting that there have been a Pipe weapon in the game, but it's NPC exlusive and its being used by the Radioactive Mutants

    Please make invis hands and feet auras work in combat. Also no discs please! Been pleading for this for so long, and now this "non combat" version is the answer?! NO PLEASE NO!

    It's almost worse than not releasing it, since this kills all hope of a proper aura being made.

    Honestly I'm not sure if they can remove the discs, it seems baked into the character models. It's been an ugly little issue since forever; the Skeleton costume parts are a good example. You try to make an actual skeleton with those parts and they've got the little discs around their wrists, waist, ankles, and neck.

    On at least one occasion that I am aware of, our hard stance against invisible hands and feet during combat has been defended on the grounds that it has negative implications for the readability of, uh, Champions Online PvP. However, I think the circumstances are different now than they were.

    Even in that name, there is still a case for removing the ban from combat, but making them follow the rules of the new Disruptive FX option.

    People can have their amputee cake and beat it too.

    The disks are gone now.

    Aura still turns off in combat making it a costume item only. You can't make a character around it so my battle platform character remains in mothballs.

    Disruptive4 FX... it's already in the size changing auras. Just add it to the invisble aura.

    Give US control over feet being invisble or visible. I want my battle platform. (Glad I read other people's posts. I forgot about Disruptive FX option since I have it turned off permanently.)

    Is this finalized, or do we expect anything else to be added?
