Heroes take notice,

We will be bringing down Champs Online tomorrow, Thursday July 19th, at 7AM PDT for maintenance and to apply a new patch. Patch notes can be found here, and we expect this maintenance to only last for 2 hours.

Let us know what you think of the new Q-Store items and Daily Mission!

    I'm just wondering why Madam Mayhem has a Fed Runabout with a Duplicate Phaser Array in the first place.

    Well, we know where the weapon skins are going now.

    Can't say I really like the idea of digging for salvage though...

    Likewise. If only the average of Drifter Salvage per mission was anything higher than like less than 2, I'd actually buy the things from the C-Store. Or maybe if there was some way to 'merge' Drifter tokens across the account.

    Also, because it's going to get nuked quickly enough:
    Madam Mayhem:

    Updated robot minions' dialogue
    Updated Madam Mayhem's dialogue
    Removed Duplicate Phaser Array from Fed Runabout Carrier Pet.

    So, does the same person who looks over the costume sets before they're released also do the website updates?

    You mean there's still a 'team'? Like in baseball?

    Bear in mind, baseball needs at least nine players...

    So, could the CO 'team' play baseball?

    You could at least pretend you care, devs!

    Also what does a Harmon Chancebox contain? More reasons for gold to unsuscribe? Perphaps Power Hue Colour change? Or maybe G limit cap removal?

    Really weak indeed, so you are gonna just fix immediate recent bugs, and brush the ones that have been marinating on their own juice under the rug?

    Did you know, there was originaly 10 months in a year, but Augustus and Julius Caesar shoved a month in between and named it after themselves because they wanted more attention?

    Maybe Cryptic's only doing the same thing? Let them try!

    My only hope is, that i'll be able ot get enough drifter salvage for everything. If the drifter salvage payout is exactly like the previous ones, i'm not spending on money on it, because just to get the 40 salvage items would be $40, since i only ever got 1 salvage a box =\

    Madam Mayhem does not simply wreak mayhem with just a Phaser Array, but with a duplicate Phaser Array. :biggrin:

    Those weaponskin blade names, like same stuff from the Melee Weapon Set?
    It can't be.
    And i guess the old stuff from D-store is going to be removed.

    And since Madame Mayhem uses Federation Runabout vehicle, does this mean we will be getting Federation Starships?

    They most likely aren't new weapons, but the weapons from the melee pack. They have the same name.

    The patch is done though, I have it installed and everything. Unless there was a last minute superbug spotted I would think the server would be back up already.

    Soo... this is list of what needed to be fixed in CO:

    - Nemesis: Dual Blade/Darkness dissapearing.
    - Nemesis: Prison Break/Museum mission/Bunker Busted bugged
    - Alerts: Ao'qephoth's regeneration
    - Open Missions: Reign of Frog/Bullet Bound for Biselle
    - Costumes: 4th colour slot not displaying preview/ Left and Right options displaying wrong previes/Costumes not unlocking for all characters
    - Powers: Unbreakable getting removed if damage was greater than absorbtion/Enemies Enraged lacking Giant Growth advantage/Knocks getting you stuck if you were using a mantain power
    - THIS thread's title

    After a lot of pondering, Cryptic and PWE devs decided to fix one and only one of these problems. Care to guess which one?

    The regeneration of Darkness Nemeses in Alerts is also much to high. The bug is the
    only thing at the moment that Smashes against Darkness Nemeses doesn't fail all the time.

    Also i've not run into a group till now that was able to beat a PFF Nemesis. The best was
    down to maybe 40% .. the worst was maybe still on 95%.

    And of course, lezard, it takes exactly the same amount of effort to recode large segments of the game, and to change a typo in a single text line...

    You do realize that at least the Bullet Bound for Biselle mission can be easily fixed by completely removing the extra Osprey that serve no purpose other than getting stuck on Viper X's Osprey and bugging the mission? And that said removal equals completely removing a section of the code with no need to recode?

    And if the devs could take the time to edit a grammar mistake, that implys they actually read the posts on the forum, and have no excuse to no answering the questions/demands made by its playerbase other than "F*** you, that is why"

    Plus my previous post was 98% made of sarcasm. Learn the difference.

    I think assuming that no answer regarding the mission is an "F" insult is quite a stretch. I highly doubt the Devs wake up each day and want to intentionally leave it that way just as a jab at the players.

    Chances are there's a very mundane reason it hasn't been fixed yet.

    I think, as usual, the Q-store items are far over-priced and the daily missions are boring grinds. I think that you should make unique costume pieces the object of the daily missions and you need to have sets cost as much as any two pieces from the set.

    Let me check if I'm understanding the new stuff in the drifter store. It appears to be the same as the weapons I already have from purchasing the melee weapons pack? Or dare I hope that someone looked up the definition of a naginata and gave us a real polearm?

    Yeah, since they asked:

    Drifter's stuff is a waste of my time/money, since I already own those pieces from buying the weapon pack.

    If you want my money, or you want me to do the ridiculously ponderous drifter quests, you need to put things on him that I actually want and are kind of a pain to get a hold of otherwise.

    The Mechassassin parts? Good idea. Weapon pack parts? I can buy the weapon pack for less Zen than it would take to buy the drifter bags to get the salvage to buy the pieces individually.

    Or did you think we wouldn't notice? Probably. It's becoming clearer that you think we're all idiots.
