Is there actually anything new in this box? I am unable to view this weekend. Can I say box anymore times?

the costumes peices from some and the vec sfrom others are highly desireable...well the vecs WERE desireable, until you nerfed plasmabeam to oblivion

Yeah some things are broken... no I don't use/abuse them.. where would be the fun in that?
@Chimerafreek
there is a lot of them out there. but I would love to see something like nephilim back halo, wings set 2 and maybe therakiels sword.
and I have to agree everything from heartstring and forward is too soon.

Forget what I said before, this is even better.
@Chimerafreek
Also any chance of getting the other Gladiator Helmet (the "exclusive" one) in this lockbox. I think it would certainly add to the attraction
Bug: Hologrid Skin Aura defaults to black/invisible

Where: All new Auras
What: The auras can be colored but only appear to lighten or darken the base color.
I cannot agree more with both of these comments. If they have to be individual pieces, I'd like to see more of the crafted legacy costume pieces from the Drifter included.
The next Awakened AT is time related.
Also, loving the new auras. Are they going to be a purchased C-Store item? For they don't come in the lockbox.
Bug: When buying a timewarp lockbox the text is scrunched. Dunno if this will affect anything but worth mentioning.
We're not letting this go, Cryptic.
Also, on the subject of that Gladiator Helmet. I bought that thing from the Z-store and got a "free crappy vehicle of my choice" out of the deal(don't judge me, this is how I rationalize it). I like the helm. I occasionally use it. When I do use it, especially if I'm in the theatre, I get the same replies almost every single time. Either people have never seen it before, want it, and would buy it -or- people know what it is, missed out, and would buy it if given the chance. So, imo, it would be a good move to either put this thing into the mix for this event...or just offer the same deal as last time again. It has been a while.
Disclaimer: I already have all the Socrates and Sharkfin unlocks myself. I also have the Redeye and Therakiel HW Weapon Geos as well.
Ok, I know alot of people who missed out on getting their hands on the Socrates and Sharkfin stuff who would very much like to have it. How about "bundling" those into a single unlock for each set and tossing them into the mix? How about starting to undo some of the damage for unlocks from On Alert and putting the Redeye and Therakial HW Weapon Geos into this?
Honestly, IMO, if you want people to jump all over this and throw money at the screen then these, from my observations, are the things that would make this happen.
Oh yeah, and it has to be done...
How about some perks/titles to make this joke? Please? An emote would be awesome. :cool:

Looking it over, beyond the non mods/q/salvage/booster/legion the Timewarp Box can include:
* A vehicle from: Hawk, Mantis, AV-55A Martinez, Avalanche, Centurion.
* A costume box with one piece from the Alien Gladiator, Sharkfin, or Socrates sets.
Selfishly, I couldn't agree more with this. Rock, Sharkfin, and Cursed/Scourge stuff are the only costumes I don't have (aside from a few weapon skins). Rock and Cursed stuff especially is a major bummer; that was in the early days of lockboxes/grab bags, and I had no idea if they'd be attainable later or not (turns out 'absolutely not'), so I unfortunately didn't try very hard to get all of them at the time. Now, casual play nets you hundreds of lockboxes to stow away if you want, and it's very easy to buy the set in the AH. Anybody who halfway wanted the Archer set, for instance, has the Archer set.
TL;DR–Please bring back the oooooooooold lockbox stuff.
Not only that, the auras are barely noticeable, all auras need this bug fixed!, and to chnage them so they are more noticeable.
That whuold be nice, but we will have alot of players moaning cuz "Time Powers Is OP"
WE DO have a Lockbox Tab in Q store, why should it sell 1 kind of Lockbox anyway?
Suggestion: Please Put the Old Grab-Bags and the VERY FIST Lockboxes in store as well
Shark and Socrates costumes are Lost forever ( '_')
Redesign Shark and Socrates as COSTUME SETS instead of Scattered Pieces
are you serious here cryptic what kind of lockbox/update is this?, there's no new costume or vehicle. I was wondering for a new costume set or vehicle, sure granted I did want the Cyber-bike from the lockbox before and now it might be my chance to get them agien, via gold & AH and the heartstrings bike. But why is there no completely new one?
Try adding new costumes and such to this new "Timewarp" lockbox to do with >TIME<.not making up a word to just throw old lockboxs back in.
Granted alot of players whuold enjoy this lockbox, about >time<, and well I think it was about >time< we where able to get the old stuff back so great >timing< on that.
Anyways I think its a great idea, but poorly executed, have the old lockboxs but stop being lazy and make something new.
Well now its >time< to wait for the bug fix's and then buy the new auras, about >time< their was the aura from the Socrates device.
Thanks for your >time<
P.S 8 time puns where used!
No they are not, they are in the set of the time-warp lockbox
Pretty much this.

So if you have all this.....I guess it's pointless to open.
Let me guess.....you need to open at least one for the series right?
Could we maybe NOT get the Rock stuff in this? I would request that the loot tables just be altered and they re-run the Roxstar Event again instead. It's small. It's amusing. We could, IMO, use some of these lil mini-events like it.
cryneting: If this is based off of the STO Event then the entire point of this is that it's a super small event where you can just get old lockboxes to drop. I do not see what they've done as lazy. Unless we are missing a yet unknown detail I see this as kinda extra work for no real point when all they had to do was put them in the drop tables "as is" and advertise it in the launcher/forums. <shrugs>

Digital and Set? this sounds like a Z-store Aura Pack
Can someone post pictures/.gifs of those Auras so we the Mere-Non-Subsribers-Mortals can see them? :rolleyes:
I'm afraid that I won't be here next Week/Month to see it and I believe it's exactly the type of aura I need
I hope it's like the Cybermind Binary Code Aura @_@
I opened a hundred boxes and got 24 costume boxes, so I'm guessing around 25% drop rate (I'd prefer a thousand sample figure but I'm not clicking on the Buy button a thousand times for the keys and a thousand times for the boxes). Each box contains one random piece from one of the three costume sets. So it's just a chance at a chance to get one you like.
Though they'll probably be fairly tradeable and the prices might not get too high. Time will tell.
Actually, the tooltip of the Timewarp Lockbox says "This box is not part of any series" right near the bottom so you will apparently be totally safe to ignore it.

Here is a quick snapshot. Most of them are actually animated of course (circuitry pulses, and hex field sort of sits there but the others drift). They are at their default colors except Holo Grid which is virtually invisible if you don't change it. Hex Field is that subtle regarless of the color you set it to which is annoying but Binary can get very crisp (pretty much identical to the process look) if you set it to a contrasting color to your overall. Scan Lines really can make you look like you escape from a television with bad reception.
I'm hyped those are Exactly the auras I wanted! We can finally get Cybermind's Binary Aura!
Too be honest I was expecting a Glitch Aura as well
Probably going to able to snag a Demonwing
Auras could use to be a little shinier though.
we have plenty of flashy auras, nothing wrong with subtlety now and then.

True, but I'd like to be able to read the binary code for the binary aura.
you can very well - if you choose a contrasting dark color like the Socrates Process Become has for your tights

and most importantly, do you think we could get one of These in the box?

I agree with placing old lockboxes in the lockbox store, and most definitely agree with combining the Shark and Socrates parts into costume sets instead of separate pieces (as well as any other costume sets that are broken into pieces that are a part of this, if there are any others).
Not sure about putting in the old grab bags though. They had AWFUL prize tables compared to lockboxes for the same price. Winning just 2 Drifter Salvage for the 100 Zen spent is just wrong. I would suggest they redo the old grab bags tables to be on par with lockboxes first if they ever bring them back.

And if I have a digital character concept in mind that doesn't wear black?
Seriously, this should be a non issue. It just needs to be on par with the holo grid.
