Ok, i'll repost one of my post about the helmets here in hope it will get some attention



Also, while fixing the headpieces make sure they also all buff all damage types and not like it is now, some helmets are missing a few modifiers, extremly annoing... (comb scouts missing proj as an example)

[Gridpain]

how about the "Auras not affecting your opponent in duel" from FWM ?

I'm wondering what this could be More of the same (xp/sk whatever) or new items

I think is more exp like the other quest heard is some ubber exp from them so gives more reasion to do them

Then it should've read "have been changed" instead of "have been added"?

The Nascence, Elysium & Scheol Key quests give mega XP rewards (daily mission reward size or similar) but the civilisation quests and Adonis, Penumbra & Inferno keys didn't give the same rewards.

Now they will

Yes it is in this version. Thank you for the reminder.

[Phargus]

Aww, was hoping for the new pvp area and/or alien missions today. New xp rewards is nice tho, maybe I'll actually do the scheol quest on my crat now

Btw Means, there's a difference between "longer" and "no longer"

The new PvP area will be available in "test conditions" on the live dimensions...but only in a controlled manner with supervison. When it is available for testing it will be a terminal beside the 220 Battlestation signup...when it is not available the terminal will be gone.

We'll be around to watch how it goes and collect feedback and suggestions before it goes live in a unrestricted fashion.

The alien missions are not complete yet...but are being worked on

[Rush3R]

okay since you deleted my post ill rephrase it: why do u make a building "live" if you know there are likely to be bugs with it? just wondering....

[Qret]

building not working...at least with us

[nanoforcer]

Building in vg city is actually gone now, but i'll have to speak to president before blaming anything on fc

[Kintaii]

Can you guys please post exactly what issues you're having with the building?

[Qret]

Can you guys please post exactly what issues you're having with the building?

We can't enter:
We tried in team
We tried solo
We tried with swim thongs equiped (solo and team)

[Mikenche]

By that logic, no games should ever be released as there's likely to be bugs in them. Need evidence? Just look at the vast numbers of patches released to almost every game, sometimes on the very next day from release.

The New Birthday Building

Ooops.

Seems we have a small problem here. In my desire to give something new this year I over-stepped a bit of the technology I wasn't aware of when it comes to creating new buildings that actually have an "inside". Apparently the location the door leads to is stored on your city controllers when the building is actually built. If the building doesn't HAVE an inside when it is built then regardless of what we do with it later the inside will never work...until the building is placed AGAIN.

This means unfortunately if you have "placed" your wrapped building in your city you will need to petition to get a new one before you will be able to access the inside. If you haven't placed it yet...DON'T. Wait until we update the building THEN place it.

If you HAVE placed it. Petition from your city. The GM will watch you delete your current building then supply you with a new one to be placed when the new building has been "revealed". Do NOT delete it before speaking with the Customer Service representative.

Again...my bad about the building. Sometimes the systems still manage to surprise me.

If you didn't construct the building before it was revealed, you'll be fine.
