    Unless it destabilizes something, though, please don't fix the bit where your vehicle (or at least your cycle) becomes invisible if you use it while wearing a disguise. It's not a bug, it's a feature! :smile:

    I'm disappointed that the grav pulse nerf is going live without so much as even a day of feedback.

    I did a rush job testing, and it turns out the nerf also badly broke another part of grav pulse that wasn't supposed to be touched. Details are on the PTS thread, but this part of the patch should not be rolled out tomorrow. Creating more bugs without proper testing helps no one.

    Everything but the Grav Pulse nerf appears to be a plus.

    Vehicles don't do enough damage as is to really warrant their use, and as we still haven't fixed crit chance on said vehicles.....

    We're getting closer and closer to real patch notes.

    You forgot to mention the halloween event, the new lockboxes, the items that drop from it, the actual stat changes instead of "stat scaling". Give us numbers please.

    Also, when you mention "hawkwing" has had its cooldown increased to 30 seconds.. now that you've renamed everything, are you talking about the NEW hawkwing jets (AKA Mark 2) or the NEW Prototype Hawkwing jets? Or both?

    We're getting there.

    EDIT: And, just to be petty (and not to be taken seriously) it's so ironic that the prototypes would be renamed prototypes when the last time they were renamed, it came with a serious nerf.. the reason? Because they weren't prototypes anymore.... funny.

    BUG: (Actually related to previous patch)

    The Alert daily missions unlock 3 levels before you gain access to the Alert types in question (7 for grabs, 12 for bursts, 17 for smashes).

    Edit: It's also possible to get all three in one day if you level quick enough.

    I didn't mention the lockbox ahead of time because we generally don't pre-announce sales. It's a business thing. I should've mentioned the Halloween Bloodmoon, though, my bad on that.

    Like the new Takobox, but do not like the no fun pumpkins that just go 'ploop' when getting the treat.

    Where's the cheery holiday fun?
    Why would you take a fun element out of the game?
