  • I think it's just random, I wouldn't get too paranoid. I was in STO and could see a CO friend log on. I could even see someone in CO chatting in a channel we're both in. And a friend in CO could see me in STO. While in STO, however, I could not see a friend on in Neverwinter, but my friend in CO could.
  • High Noon usually runs more than once a year, though, and it's usually a two-week event, so we'll probably see it again with one or two more new things. Hopefully they revert the whole "removed emotes from the store" thing, though. I love collecting emotes on my characters and it really, really sucks that the only time I…
  • Yeah I got the bug where I was getting kicked out of Smash alerts maybe... 1/9 alerts, 1/12, common enough to be kind of annoying. The fact that alerts were popping so much more often made up for it for me personally, but I can see why you guys would rather get it fixed.
  • So I do want to say something positive since my earlier post was mostly my complaint about removing the emotes from the store. Other than that which I still 100% believe needs to be reverted... the High Noon redesign is actually really nice. Removing the "Defeat 50 robots" mission removes a big part of the tedium,…
  • Okay, who keeps wishing on a friggin' monkey's paw? I was actually totally up for grinding the event to get the emotes on 10 characters, but now the only way I'll get them is to buy them on the Auction House. Fun. To be fair, these little story missions they've been adding take like fifteen minutes, maybe a half hour at…
  • Did they remove the emotes from the event store? There's no patch note about it, only that they're available as drops from the open mission (which has always been true for event emotes). Really hope that's not changing!
  • Assuming it hasn't changed from previous times (I don't see why it would), you literally just have to enter the Theater and hang around a few seconds to get the title and emote. Now, the title is a character unlock. Also, they're pretty strict on the time. After the CC ends, the giveaway seems to go away quick. But the CC…
  • I know this isn't usually the kind of thing that gets changed, but would you guys consider dropping the price for the Account Unlock emotes by a bit if you notice not many are getting it? I understand it's not supposed to be easy to get, but with the changes to only being able to do the Colossus event three times a day...…
  • Would anyone mind posting a preview pic of the costume parts that aren't live yet (the Polar Bear head, ice sword, Eclipse emblem, and Shisa)? Thank you and Merry Holidays!
  • So what's Regal Flight? Is it Stoic Flight without the FX?
  • Actually yeah, with the favor wipe change, it would be nice of them to change auras back to account-bound. Or bring back the NPC that lets you box auras up in an account-bound crate for an extra 100 favor that can be put in your account bank; I dunno whatever happened to that NPC.
  • Yeah, that's definitely why it doesn't bother me. We get like 1-2 new parts a week for events now, it's a pretty reasonable "grind". As for new players and the piles of older parts, didn't they say next year they're going to be putting some of those in the TPB store instead? Anyway, something I wanted to ask. Did they…
  • Yeah I definitely think we wouldn't be looking at this as such a bad change if like 70-80% of all the event costume parts they've added for a while now hadn't been the full 400-token price, literally half the cap. So if they're more willing to release items at the cheaper price point, as well as lowering the cost of the…
  • I hope by "revisiting event item costs and rewards" you mean cheaper items and more/the same rewards, but... I'm not hopeful, there. Also so like... all the tokens we've already put time into grinding out for future events are just going away with no compensation at all, right? That... sucks. I'd take even some silly…
  • Makes sense then, that in the alert, voice-wise he's depicted as a fancy Suthun' gentleman, ah do decleah. :p Pretty sure the Red Snake alert has intentionally-bad voice acting though, I think Cryptic was trying to make a joke about bad English dubs of old kung fu films.
  • Eesh. I fully support ways to bring the Questionite Exchange back down, but... these are priced high enough to stop more than a couple people from even thinking of picking these up. 500-750k, maaaybe. It's a shame, I actually would like RAD Sphere since it's a more subtle visual than the Hamster Roll, but... yeah.
  • Ahhhhh cool! Thanks!
  • Kind of a shame it sounds like we'd need to buy a separate flight power to get that in the future, heh. Another travel power that'd be awesome without the special effect is Hyper Ball, so you could roll around without the energy hamsterball.
  • Love the addition of more archetypes to event stores, thank you!
  • My friend who went to the test server said that the Defender Training Program thing is up there, or something, so my prediction is that the Mecha Claw part will be part of the reward for doing the 1-40 sprint in a week, but they're offering a one-day chance to get it and skip the grind, heh. On the other hand though, feels…
  • My main complaint with the skull mask is that, like so many cool masks added, it doesn't work at all with hoods. Any hoods. It clips through them all. It works best with the Dark Hood also from the event store, but even then the cheeks stick through the sides However, I really appreciate the thought! My Day of the…
  • Just wanted to check in, has the new Zombie Vanguard figure been added? If/when it is, how do we get it, do we just assemble the figure again with the three pieces?
  • Not sure if they add this type of thing on test server, but did they put the Savage AT in the store for tomorrow?
  • Here's the list of ones you can get during events that I can remember: Circus Malvanum: Devastator Nighthawk event: Night Avenger High Noon: Gunslinger Patriot event: Squall Foxbatcon: Inventor Halloween Bloodmoon event: Savage, Witch, Scourge Nightmare event: Void Winter event: Icicle Anniversary event (special weekly tab…
  • I mean technically the only content they added this year were the Retro costumes. Which don't get me wrong, were pretty great, but I wish they'd take the part into consideration instead of just slapping the 400-favor tag on them. Things like Witchcraft's Brooch and Sapphire's belly gems really should have been 300 instead.…
  • So this probably doesn't help, but I think the devs add Therakiel's Sword to the drop table for the Temple mission on like, one day a year? I wanna say Halloween? I could very well be wrong, but I swear I heard it talked about at one point.
  • I gotta say, considering that Top Ten is implied to have sinister motives, they really nailed the feeling of this event being run by villains. Grind upon grind!
  • Yeah, Amphibian didn't count. There is a secret Nighthawk NPC in Renaissance Center now who does, though!
  • Does anyone remember where Amphibian is floating in Lemuria? I had wanted to test him but no idea where to even start searching. Or if anyone's already tested him and can say one way or the other if he counts!
  • Joke's on you, looks like no one's even doing the event anymore! :p
  • Probably not, they've done that for the last couple big events, removed a bunch of the cheaper costume parts and made them into random drops from bags and stuff.
  • Oh geez, yes. I almost missed that, myself! Kind of a shame it's not more like Star Trek Online's "____ Recruit" event, where as long as you make the character during the allotted time, you can unlock the rewards whenever. Also I'll add my voice to not minding the organization change, but that's because over the years I've…
  • Pretty sure that was stated to be an intentional change. My guess is they're trying to save some money/dev time by not having to create new thumbnails for every new emote and transformation. Which, sure, sounds like a really tiny thing, but look at how many emotes, including free ones, we just got with Foxbatcon, as well…
  • Well that's a bummer. I've only opened 70-ish, and the only non-device stuff I've gotten are two action figures.
  • Yep! For any characters that don't have them, in Foxbat's apartment, on the balcony, you can pick up the infinite Swag Bag from the table, and talk to the resting Stunt Double to receive the Backup - Foxbat that were given away on previous April Fool's.
  • Wait, seriously? That sounds like a huge nerf. The nightmares in my experience are pretty pathetic already, the only upside was that you could summon two on every enemy in the group to have a little army. If they're limiting us to two maximum now, they really should buff them up so that they're worth it. I guess the silver…
  • Hahaha no. Maybe everyone good got it done early, but I've had nothing but failures. Generally one person ditches less than two minutes in. It's as maddening as ever.
  • "We have added 2 new emotes free to everyone for this error: Admire and Shoo. Sorry about that!" Aww, that's actually a really great gesture. Thank you!
  • Yeah, after seeing this power, I hopped onto my wind character, and really, if you color them blue a lot of the power animations really do look a lot like water. And since I doubt this game has the resources to make whole new frameworks of powers, I think it works well enough. They could even make a water-themed archetype,…
  • Oh, neat! I actually don't get the Set Monster reference, if it is a reference. It looks... I don't know, vaguely Gremlins-y? Maybe? Or maybe a Godzilla-style monster?
  • Anyone know where this Dominique Ducard guy is?
  • Oh! Is that really the kitten you get from the 250 cat monsters perk? That's the black cat that was in the event store last year! Oh my gosh, thank you for that. Now I don't have to grind out that perk since I got Cinder last year!
  • I would totally be up for this. Even if they priced it at 450 (or heck, it'd be irritating but even 750) recognition, that's still easier to get than trying to farm the other two paths of Save the Earth!
  • You, uh, you do know the cats just came from doing the cat-finding mission three times a week, right? It had absolutely nothing to do with the Mega-Destroid stuff. I mean, I get it! After the Mechanon buff was added, I memory leaked and crashed pretty much 90% of the times I did it before giving up on it a few days in.…
  • Hmm... kind of out there, but the facial markings kind of look like the Oni Slayer facepaint. Anyone try taking that to him? Or... I dunno, maybe Arcane Tattoos/Spinal Glow Tights?
  • Thank you for the maps! Very helpful! That said, this one is driving me crazy. Both maps show one cat (35 on Aesica's map, the one just to the west of the hospital), but... for the life of me, there is no cat. There are only like six trees there it could be in, but I've sat around it for like five minutes, no meowing,…
  • How about a creepies hint? The hunt seems to have petered out at the moment! :p
  • Anyone think the Terror Fenny figure might be needed for anything? It's super-rare, and I want to claim it, but there's a part of me that's paranoid I'll need it later! Or is it rare enough that it's probably not going to be used?
  • Yeah, I was just worried that, among all this other stuff, they'd actually put effort in to make the monthly rewards you get via these tokens character-bound, to encourage more lifetime subs.
  • Just wanted to see if a dev could answer this, it has nothing to do with the controversy going on, was hoping for some clarification: "2 Gold Costume Tokens for One Character on Your Account: These can be used to exchange for old Monthly Reward costumes." So basically, you can unlock two monthly reward items. Are these…
