    Seems the modern ironclad chest piece has an issue, it can for female characters only be worn with the chest straps. And the alternative costume is only an attachment. But on the store it is shown as if their two separate pieces. Is this meant to be this way or something that was forgotten?
    There's always SOMETHING going wrong SOMEWHERE

    When used, Force Cascade Ultimate PVD puts Denial of Service PVD on cooldown.

    If it needs saying, yes I do have FC itself and yes I am able to use DoS normally without it going on Cooldown like this (it normally goes on a short Cooldown, like ten seconds or so, if you use it without Power Conversion/Dark Transfusion but that's it).

    This long Cooldown only happens after using the FC Ultimate PVD.

    BUG: Gleaming Auras DO NOT scale with the characters at all

    Even on an average sized character, the aura visuals are too weak, small and get eaten by the character's model
    POWERFRAME REVAMPS, NEW POWERS and BUG FIXES > Recycled Content and Events and even costumes at this point Introvert guy who use CO to make his characters playable and get experimental with Viable FF Theme builds! Running out of Unique FF builds due to the lack of updates and synergies! Playing since 1 February 2011 128 + Characters (21 ATs, 107 FFs) ALTitis for Life!

    Opening older costume boxes are not giving tokens. Which ones give tokens and which ones don't?

    Can you elaborate? Which costume box? This change only applies to boxes that granted the tokens, so from Scarlet Scarab onward.

    Okay, didn't know how far back costume boxes counted towards tokens. Thank you

    Samba emotes apparently don't count for the dance party open mission.

    Tails & Rear Accessories: Amazon & Amazon Drape
    These two pieces now float in the air as if held up by an invisible tail.

    EDIT: Updated to confirm it is also present on Chest Layer: Amazon > Attachment Slot 2: Both Amazon & Amazon 2. Also present in both male and female models, in all poses.

    This was not the case yesterday, so it's new to the patch. Applies to character select, tailor, and active gameplay. The other cloth-based tail pieces in the category are not affected by this new bug.

    I love that the hanging frock attachment from Witchcraft's chest is available on the Belt Accessory, both front and back. I hope that the basic cloth/leather/metal materials can be added to them at some point.

    Really nice looking costume pieces, looking forward to updating and making new costumes with them. Thanks and happy anniversary!

    I know its probably a bit late at this point, but any chance that the ultimate pillar of poz could also summon a sigil the character has if they don't have any circles?

    "15th Anniversary Key Pack"
    When I'm 500 short and the Buy Zen tab is cleared out for the first time I've ever seen. xo

    I would love to have the Pearl texture as a costume unlock for skins, since Body and Tights auras still effect pants.

    Much needed change for Backups to not start their duration until they start attacking.

    More Ultimate devices is better.
    Pillar auto activating one of your circles no matter what is pretty good.
    Does Force Shield's Force Sheath advantage count for Cascade's bonus?
