  • I notice the Forest Guardian Arms 2 (maybe other parts, it's the only one I have atm) isn't available for many options, for females at least; I've had problems where it won't appear as an option until I equip a Forest Guardian chest, it's not an option for Tights for Partial Left (but it is for Tights for Partial Right),…
  • Yeah, 20 would be great! Even 15 would be good if for some reason 20 causes problems, but I don't see why it would!
  • Might be the wrong place to make a request, but would it be possible to make this a looping emote, or add a looping version, like how the Drink emote has you holding the can and taking occasional sips? So that you're holding the hot dog, taking "bites" now and then, instead of a single gobble?
  • That'd be fun! Maybe even some cell doors you can open and close, though maybe that's a bit much. But yeah, the smaller Westside map would be good, if you could manage the Resistance map that'd be awesome but maybe it's a bit too big to mess with? It'd definitely be useful for RP, screenshots, maybe you could throw a…
  • Oh neat, where's that head? Did you try zombie-dancing at it? Yeah the first thing I can think of are the Halloween action figure parts.... does that head belong to any of the undead heroes, or is it a generic zombie? Maybe the Mr. Zombie action figure?
  • I've seen a few people angry about this, but you absolutely can still do all your grinding on one day still; in fact, arguably the new system is even better since you can literally "finish" the entire event in one day if you have enough alts. You do still need to log in every day, but you had to do that in the old "take…
  • Posted in the Test Server thread but it's probably better here: the extra 100 credits for gold-tier items isn't a dealbreaker but I really really really really hope the devs take it into account for the Anniversary event, where Retro items are now universally gold-tier no matter how minor (like that Retro Witchcraft Robe…
  • Yeah, I don't think the price increase for gold items is a dealbreaker, but I'm really, really, really, really hoping the devs take this into account for, say, the Anniversary Event, where for the last couple runs basically every single piece they've added (every Retro part, no matter how minor like that Retro Witchcraft…
  • They're probably holding off because it wouldn't get as many players doing it, but personally I wouldn't mind if they just ran it without new rewards, at least as a one-time thing. I'm sure there are plenty of people that don't have all the previous rewards yet; I've only ever done one 40 per Training Event and there's…
  • Possible Bug: I bought the Frozen (Full) aura, but when I put it on it only turned my chest/legs into ice, which I think is supposed to be the "(Tights)" effect?
  • The mission doesn't go away during the event, so... til the end of the event, November 2nd? But since it's ten days, you'd either need to start it by the 22nd/23rd at latest, or else pay some Drifter Salvage to get it early.
  • Really? Which ones are they?
  • They might have meant the Mindslayer/Viperia hairs? Which have (theoretically) been added but they're super-rare drops of course.
  • Yep, I believe that's the "(Body)" aura. It affects the entire body, but only the "Tights" layer, so any Chest Wear/Clothing/Hipwear/Arm Accessories/Headwear/Belt/etc. stuff is unaffected.
  • Not this time. The new lockbox outfits got previewed on Discord, and while it has some hair, it's elemental-themed. That said, personally I think if they release more ethnic hairs at least some of them will be new free default hairs, so the lockbox doesn't necessarily matter.
  • Honestly I'm not sure if they can remove the discs, it seems baked into the character models. It's been an ugly little issue since forever; the Skeleton costume parts are a good example. You try to make an actual skeleton with those parts and they've got the little discs around their wrists, waist, ankles, and neck.
  • So, April Fools event is up, themed around bugs. The big boss's description is "This is not a Creepies clue." With that said... maybe it's a Creepy clue! It's a big Qularr with Shadow Destroyer shoulders and Black Fang tire armor and tail... For what it's worth, the "Unscheduled Maintenance" mission from Defender has the…
  • Yeah, since in-universe Mind Inc. is a Totally-Legitimate Company, it'd be cool if you could walk in and see the place whenever. Being able to enter some of these prominent buildings adds a lot, IMO. The bank and Mercy Hospital lobby, too. Even the Museum from... "Breaking the Wall Down", I think, the serial story mission…
  • That's not a mistake, they like to be secretive about the Rock Store ???. Anyway, considering the issues with patching for Cryptic games today, and the insane difficulty, is there any chance you guys could leave this new Hot Buggy Mess event up for an extra day or two?
  • A couple more ideas: Guy Sweetland's Restaurant (Mission: The Sweetest Thing, and also one of the newer serial story missions where you fight Talisman in there). A nice formal restaurant and lounge setting. One of the Vibora Bay mansion maps: this one's harder because I think there are several different variants of it.…
  • From what I've seen in other events (might not be the same as what you mean?), the discount is reliant on the quest progress. So you get the discount at 1/10, 2/10, etc. Which, unfortunately, means that if you no longer have the quest - either from completing it, or when the mission gets auto-removed right after the event…
  • I'm curious, if anyone knows. Weeks 3 and 4 both have "Complete Making Naughty Nice 5 times" missions. Does the Week 3 one go away when Week 4 starts, or will you be able to complete both of them at the same time? The latter would be helpful since Week 3 is the week of Christmas itself!
  • I'll try it! But from what I understand, the Master Costumer winner title would either be granted from the prize box when they send you your reward, or be a claimable item in the Zen Store Bonus tab.
  • That'd be a good choice! Dip into the Vibora Bay characters more, especially since I feel like they've done all the Champions and several of the big villains (they've done Dr. Destroyer twice now!). Like otherwise I'm not even sure what we'd get. Retro VIPER? The hair would be a great addition, and yeah, a new set of…
  • I'd at least like some kind of SCR currency trade option. Like say 5 Silver Champion tokens for 1 Gold Champion. That'd still take a good, long time to get the 100-250 you need per item/unlock.
  • I just got it too! I tried throwing the taco without attacking him a few times, with no luck. At the maybe fifth or six time I saw him, I attacked him a couple times and then threw, and got it, so it just... seems to be random?
  • So I was dumb and saved up a bit too much favor on one character, does anyone remember if the previous weekly stores (travel powers, hideouts, archetypes) rerun when they bring all the event stores back at the end of the year? Because I've got a lot of leftover tokens and nothing I really want to use it on now!
  • I still think removing emotes from the event store was a genuine mistake, even putting aside my bias, heh. I legitimately grinded out the 150 or so event tokens on 10 characters to get the emotes account-unlocked. Some events it's easier to get that much than others, but still, that's a decent chunk of extra playtime. On…
  • That's a good point! Since there's no "topless" option for obvious reasons, the suits are gonna have to be layered over the existing bikini tops, so I don't think there's a way to actually have a strapless top.
  • I kind of forget, is the Training Event a one-week thing, or did they change it to two weeks? Obviously hoping the latter, heh. Also I'm guessing you won't be able to get all three of those parts with one 40? Maybe at least 2/3?
  • It's weird to me that since they're getting rid of the Lemurian Rampage (or just revamping it? Not sure), they didn't just re-use the Harbinger as the Unknowable One. Slap the Eerie Presence/Ghost effect on it and bam, creepy Cthulian monster. Honestly I don't mind the ghost shark because I have very low standards for…
  • My guess is it's a little more complicated than most things to add to FM, because, from what I understand, the timers during the timed parts actually do take the cutscenes into account, so just skipping the cutscene would give the players an extra however many seconds. Not really a terrible thing, really, but that would…
  • IN the rampage, okay, that's why I couldn't find it! Thanks!
  • Hrm. Well, I've never earned a Gold Champion token, so I guess that's more stuff I'll never see, luckily it's nothing super-nice. In more important areas, anyone found the Easter egg in the new mission yet? Also, I was surprised how quick the Rampage timer is to kick you out. I barely had time to listen to Ladyhawke's end…
  • One other thing that might be worth mentioning that might throw people for a loop the first couple times: during the second phase when the cubes spawn, usually you'll get three, one of each color, red, blue, yellow. But sometimes you'll get two of two colors, like two red and two yellow and no blue. So, remember to do a…
  • Or the poncho! I wish they were more consistent on putting these special parts into the event store the next time. Also really? So all the previous event currencies are still on the characters, and new ones added on every year? That feels like it's gonna cause problems eventually!
  • Ooh, I like that hairstyle. This might sound weird but I really like how... "undetailed" it is? Like, a lot of newer hairstyles look really good with great textures and modeling... so good that they actually look kind of too good compared to the rest of the character, and means it's really hard to combo with older hairs!…
  • Is there a reason you guys removed the Vehicles from the Nightmare event store for this Reprint event? I still have a ton of Elysium coins from the bait-and-switch "Unlock the Unnerved emote for 2000 coins except we'll remove that option next time it comes around in case you were saving up" and now there's... nothing to…
  • Just to check, there are still only 7/13 creepies found, right? The Creepy Guide thread only shows the first four QWZ ones. Then there's the Fenny, the Teddy, and the Virus Socrates? I don't know if this has been tossed out, but Cheshire being a red wolf made me think of Black Fang, another red-headed wolf. Then that thing…
  • Yeah... the current devs seem unable (maybe unwilling, but I'd assume not) to even delete a couple doors to let us walk into the blocked-off areas of the hideouts we have.
  • I suspect it was definitely made to be really hard, yeah. I think an ulterior motive was to slow down people doing Vigilance on a bunch of characters; I know I cut down how many characters I run through them solely because I don't want to do STE more than half a dozen times, heh. Weirdly, I've been having good runs lately,…
  • Thanks for this! It's really neat, and I'd love to see more of this sort of thing. Not to sound all "get an inch, want a mile", but would it be possible to get the Salem House as a social zone too? It's really great for haunted houses, fancy mansions, I think there's a ballroom, a little theater....
  • Yeah, I was specifically thinking of the Mecha Claws Dr. Octopus tentacles, surprised they're not like that!
  • Yeah, the Idle Zombie emotes seem to take ten minutes or more to actually count as unlocked, you get the perk and the progress towards the account unlock, but the character doesn't actually get the emote.
  • Yes! With the Ghost or Shadow or Psionic material or something it'd also make a fun genie smoke tail thing. And maybe throw a fin option on the end for mermaids! Also, "Event Perks that required you to trade in costumes now check to see if you have them unlocked instead." That's a great change! Just for clarity, is this…
  • Preeeetty sure it's just a big coincidence but it is a gloomy trend, heh. Death Rattle is because it involved the Cobra Lords (Rattle like a Rattlesnake, you know), 11th Hour and the Last Moment because the theme they picked for 11 was "11 o'clock/1 hour to midnight" I guess (like the 9th anniversary's theme was cats/9…
  • It's still a relatively new thing as of this year, so we're not entirely sure yet. So far for the events that ran multiple times this year, the answer seems to be "you just can't get them." My guess/hope is they'll eventually be added to the event stores, though!
  • Even the emblem seems too rare; I have yet to see the boots or the emblem even on the auction house. They're like, Overalls rare.
  • Actually, every "lockbox show-off NPC" has a bio you can talk to them to read. Unfortunately, I don't really remember his, and this game doesn't have a supported wiki where someone might've posted it. So as far as I'm aware, the bios are gone for good. :/
  • I'm not gonna get involved in the whole "elites vs. casual" thing. I suck at this game and don't have great builds and I'm happy with Heroic gear and I'm fine with that. I accept that there's content that's just out of my league and not meant for me. But could we please have the ability to like... maybe buy 1 Gold Champion…
