    It isn't showing up in tailor for some reason. Can't find it in dropdown menu either.

    It's really nice seeing more content related emotes being added, even just event related rewards for doing them during certain events. Will there be a display vendor for event related things so players don't have to deep dive the forums for what unlocks are hidden through the year?

    Love the hotdog stuff, but oh my god. Hotdogs have a shared 90 second cooldown.
    25 takes 37.5 minutes. Doing this 10 times takes 6 and a half hours...
    Please change it to 5?

    Or better yet...make it a 10 second cooldown for eating Hotdogs but ONLY during the event...

    Yea that'd be nice. Something to deal with the 90 sec cooldown its absurd.
    Also, a permanent "regenerating hotdog" would be an awesome reward for the 1000 perk.
    Or a throwable hotdog vanity device like the Taco that gives people hotdogs.

    I cry that they added an eat 1000 hot dogs perk. The amount of hours.

    That ones not new, I've had it for a while on Wiener-Man. But yes, oh my god, it took so long.
    Would be nice to get something for it XD
    Like an actual HotDog emblem like the one that comes on the cape.

    I don't necessarily know why but I really love this change. Might I suggest that the Hotdog Vendors sell Narcola to wash the Hotdogs down with?

    Might be the wrong place to make a request, but would it be possible to make this a looping emote, or add a looping version, like how the Drink emote has you holding the can and taking occasional sips? So that you're holding the hot dog, taking "bites" now and then, instead of a single gobble?

    Thank you very much for investigate and updating this! You just added even more customization options with the new coloring method! \o/

    You keep surprise me with updating the tailor like that

    Some PTS testing for all 4 and Found why, it's only a problem with [Tricolor Superspeed (Horizontal)]


    Bug:
    [Tricolor Superspeed (Horizontal)] is the ONLY Tricolor power that doesn't give you option in the Tailor and completely ignores any set colouring from the other 3 TPs

    The colouring option works fine with
    [Tricolor Flight (Vertical)] :+1:
    [Tricolor Flight (Horizontal)] :+1:
    [Tricolor Superspeed (Vertical)] :+1:

    Bug:
    No matter which Tricolor Power you use, if you change room in powerhouse it forced changed into (Vertical) and gets
    the 🇫🇷 French Flag colours 🇫🇷

    For anyone who is leveling new character during this event

    Keep an eye for HEROIC Hotdog as a drop (not available from the Hot Dog Vendors like the other Hot Dogs)
    It gives you XP BOOST but its bind on pickup

    EDIT: it's currently in the Hot Dog Vendor too and its shorter CD than normal Hot Dogs

    Of course it's bugged :weary:

    Better leave the perk at 9/10

    Bug:
    The Hotdog from the Emote is Upsidedown/faces inwards


    Bug:
    The Hotdog's default size is way TOO small and gets hidden by bigger proportions characters (like the Drink Tea emote)

    Suggestion
    Make the object SCALE with the Hands sliders

    So, I did the Whiteout mission today, Worried Emote Perk not counts up, it seems the same issue with the Electric Transformation from the Questonite Store, which is still not fixed too. Perk shows it as purple, the emote items are blue. Not counting them correctly this way.

    Edit: Never mind now on the worried emote, just delayed heavily this time. Till it counted, still the Storm Summoner Transformation perk still is an issue, and I have never seen an answer to this, if it is simply the wrong emote and not the one in the Questonite store or if it is a bug. If it is intentional, this seems like a scam to make people buy it hoping to get account wide unlock, wasting Questonite that way.

    I've been saying this has been broken since the account-wide perk has been introduced. The perks even disappear after you've been in a zone long enough for all the other perks to load. I doubt it will be fixed any time soon, since they haven't even updated the older emote unlocks to also have account-perks for well over a year.

    The aura was fantastic, I actually forced myself to do that awful, buggy AP a dozen times to get it on most of my characters.
