    was it intended that having a Destroid Destruction mission active lock you out of the new mission for 20 hours when it is autodropped?

    Bug - Device Tray
    Switching builds now puts various devices on cooldown. Sometimes if they move slots, sometimes even if they don't move slots. Sometimes the entire bar.

    for a year I've asked about lifetime sub sales. For a year people have suggested the anniversary event. I waited a year for this anniversary event, still no lifetime sub sale.

    Hey all, a change went live today regarding devices going on cooldown when build-swapping that was not intended to go live until a much later update. We're looking into getting the change undone, but it may not be until next week for this to happen.

    If you claim the costume slot first, it locks you out of claiming Prismatic Detonation by making it look like it's been claimed when it hasn't.

    This is just a visual error, if you claim the costume slot, you have access to the Prismatic Detonation power.

    Devices nerf is nonsense, i understand that it was not intended to go live now... but that means it is supposed to go live, it's not a bug.

    That is a horrible horrible decision.

    How about devices not going on cooldown when you slot them out of combat? Why so much hate for devices? This makes me not want to use sidekicks anymore since I was theming them based on costume.

    I miss when devices remembered their cooldowns even when not slotted.
