    I can't announce anything C-Store, but there's no harm this week in announcing the Q-Store schedule. There's no update this week in the Q-Store, the Nighthawk gadgets were the big Q-Store update for the anniversary.

    There is a bug with the mission name "The Perfect Prey" in Canada Wilderness which is given by Justiciar.
    So will this be fixed also?

    Also, just to clarify... Tuesday is a goal, not a guaranteed. The issue that kept us from pushing it live today was discovered late yesterday, so the devs haven't had a chance to fully test and fix it. We'll know more about timelines at the end of today, I hope.

    Fixing bugs on APs, CS, and Open missions is a major step forward. Thank you.

    The mission "No Time Like The Present" in the Vibora Bay Alert is still broken for me. Valerian disappears when I get her down to 1/3 health.

    I'm glad I have other characters to play, this one has been stuck here for a couple of weeks now at this mission.

    Same here, she still disappears soon she reaches the half of her health, sometimes even at two third.

    She tries to summon her Trey Kings, raises her arms, pushes them down and poof.. disappeared.

    Be cautioned that you can't stick the AFs into a shared bank - I thought that would be the easy way to transfer them to another character, but not so much...

    Just to mention it, AF's are unlocked account wide, at least they are for me.

    WARNING: The mail is sent to whichever character you first log into the account with. It is character-specific, only that character can access it. The rewards - specifically including the Drifter's Catalyst Grab Bag for 1+ year vets - bind to that character and cannot be transferred to another character by any means.

    So, if you are collecting Drifter Salvage on a particular character, be sure to LOG IN WITH THAT CHARACTER FIRST before any other character on the account. The Drifter Salvage reward can only be applied to the first character you log in with.

    (Yes, my drifter salvage is stuck on the wrong toon.)

    You missed a Mission fix....what about the bug in the Resistance Mission,where even if you finish the entire mission,it doesn't register it and thus you can never finish it. Because you can kill off the Shadow Destroyer and such,but it doesn't update the mission as finished and thus you can't get what you should from Defender.

    This is still bugged.

    As before it works first time after a patch, always has.

    The mayor starting his speach wasnt the problem, every time ive looked he always got to the podium and began his speach fine (and still does) just after the mission has been run once after a patch the osprey jets stay in the sky and the mission doesnt advance past "wait for the mayor to start" even though he is continuoisly doing his speach over and over again.

    Not much point in progressing if you can't even get to skill level 10, much less 100 to get enhancements.

    I can indeed report that Valerian Scarlet does still disappear, only she only disappears after half her life-bar, rather than a third of her life-bar.

    Does ANYTHING in this patch work like it is supposed to?
    The Forumite formerly known as Galeforce.

    If you want my money, there is a fairly simple way to get it since I am fairly free with how I spend it. First, produce something I consider to be worth buying. Second, offer it up for sale. Don't lock it behind a gambling scam. If I want something, I am perfectly happy to pay for it. But I will not purchase a CHANCE to get it, When I pay money, I have a perfectly logical right to expect to get what I want.

    That is working as described.

    ...

    Of course, that's an announcement of something NOT having been changed. But trust me, having tested the next phase of the Destroid Invasion on PTS, not changing this is a very good thing.

    Well, I'm not in a position to test Vikorin or Therakiel, and I don't feel like running any of the CS right now, but I can indeed verify that the current phase of the Destroid Invasion was extended (yay, easy Q!), and that the Anniversary Gifts were delivered by mail (say hello to The Indomitable Spider-Bat!).

    So, yeah, hyperbole for the loss here, I think.
