  • Added visual timer to the ongoing open mission in Millennium City.
  • Reduced the duration of each location to 5 minutes.

    Can finally organize inventories between Account, Personal, and Super Group banks without having to instance hop constantly. Huge QoL!

    The timer and duration change for this event is very much appreciated!

    Will Nighthawk favor earned now still be in our accounts when the event next rolls around? I.e. is there any reason to keep any of it after this event, or should we spend it all now?​​

    Tooltip says it expires in 30 days, so I assumed it won't carry over. Hope I'm wrong, though.

    Love the QoL updates! Could we have the account bank in the VIP Lounge as well, since it's supposed to be a convenient all-in-one area? And maybe a sort button for the account bank?

    This was a much needed update for the account bank. Its neat. The combination of reduced time/adding a timer on the Nighthawk event helps. That being said, I find it odd an item like this exist. 200 event currency for a item that has 3 uses.

    I do apreciate we can see now the cooldown between Nighthawk's instances, and that is has been reduced to 5 min. It's a great detail.
    Also we apreciate we can now use the Account bank on the Bank npc as well.

    I think it's useful if one is spending lots of time in Canada, The Desert, Vibora Bay, the Qliphothic Warzone, etc. Or in TA, TT, or some other Alert/Rampage/etc. Especially since it says others can use the summoned NPC as well.

    Personally, I would never spend tokens on it. I might spend tokens on a permanent version (with a cooldown).

    I would love this if it the edges sat inside the mouth accessory correctly without clipping, or was adjustable with the cheek or brow slider. Making it an attachment to the mouth accessory would be another option. As it is, it's still better using and hiding the helmet piece.

    Is it just me or did [NIGHTHAWK'S TALONS 3], and all mods for that matter, only cost 5 tokens in previous event cycles?

    The "extra" store junk like mods and 7% catalysts got bumped from 5 tokens per to 10 tokens per with the jump over to account-wide currencies. To my knowledge, it wasn't even mentioned in the patch notes at all, it just happened. Bad change, but it feels like that's to be expected with account currencies now.
    The fact that the forums refuse to tell you how close you are to the character/post size limit until you attempt to post something that happens to be too big- and the automated spam filter will immediately completely lock you out of posting long-term if you attempt to post or edit posts too close to the character limit- is genuine agony.

    This is my cry for help
