Valentines Event

I have one complaint. You have corrupted my childhood.

Now I feel I'm about to buy a package of Barbie clothes to dress up my Super Heroes.

I have already thought of uses of these costume pieces. (my mole man will now have a costume homage to the penguin)

Sigh, oh well I'll live.

PS my Diet also thanks you for keeping me away from fast food at least once to aford this in my budget.

Cowslip has managed to actually put clothes on with the Valentines pack.

And Latex Love Moth has redeemed her latex for lace and acquired a swanky suitcoat that matches her wings quite well.

I am not sure i understand. Can these new costumes also be earned by doing a special mission like the V-Day missions? Or they can only and only be earned by spending real money for them?

Pay or live without.

So what is it about Valentines day and CoX? For the last three years there has been something new introduced that seems specially tailored to annoy people.

This year: a $10 package with very little highly specialised emotes/costumes in it.
Last year: The Valentines day bug (which haunts us still today)
The year before that: Costume options were made avaialble for inviting x number of people to play. (They corrected this misstep last year)

You can still go to the wedding event without spending a dime

Other than that, it's a V-Day event for your alts.

Edit: the special add for this year's V-Day event is the wedding. The Wedding Pack will be available indefinitely - but it made sense to release it during the romantic season.

Isn't there an extra mission on each side?

Outside of the Pocket D, and in conjunction with the live Wedding event, players will find new Hero and Villain contacts in Atlas Park™ and Mercy Island. Sela Vermont, wedding coordinator of Manticore and Sister Psyche, sends Heroes on a special wedding gift reconnaissance mission while Zev Scalamore, under direction of Arachnos, enlists Villains to do his dirty work.

Hmmmm. maybe there is after all. Didn't see this on Test, so new to me if it's separate from the ushers. I could be mistaken after all. Intersting...

I just wish that sicne were paying for it, they could have gotten it in working fine or made it mroe customizable. The Inside of the Hair/Veil thing you can't color. The hair itself is the color of the veil. The Bridal pattern top you can have two different colors, which is kind of sad because you have this beautiful pattern you can highlight to match the skirt that you can.

If thats all to be changed, well i wish they could have gotten it right from the get go.

Much of it was lost amidst crys of "Get DSL"

Unfortunatly it's like giving a guy with a broekn leg a motorized scooter and proclaiming his leg fixed.

Considering they were fixing a lot of bugs in the patch up until Tuesday, I'm nop surprised. Honestly, they were trying to pack too many changes in with the same patch as the V-Day content.

The veil thing's fixed on Test currently, and there are other work-arounds (like linking your colors, picking the right primary, and unlinking). That will be well and good for the event tomorrow, and will make it to Live soon thereafter I imagine.

I know Jay's working on some of the other bugs also, so although they might not be ready for tomorrow, they will get fixed. After having spoken tio him at the M&G, I have faith in The Sexy One.

I reserve the right to harbor doubts until I get a) pointy ears back, b) the pirate shirt. That is all.

I looked in AP on test last night, couldn't find the person you go to. Might not be up yet.

I have not been able to locate Sela Vermont on the live server, seems odd that you can't, but the wedding usher is plain to see.

So, will we be getting the wedding co-ordinator on live servers? Or is that just for test and only during the event?

The wife and I won't be getting home 'till late, so it looks like we'll miss the actual event. I know someone's mentioned taking lots of screen shots, but I'd like to know if anyone will be grabbing any "home movies" as well.

Thanks...

All I care about is seeing Signature Players/Characters. I see that on Test, right?

[/ QUOTE ]One mission, to retrieve (Hero) or steal (Villain) Manti/Psyche's wedding gifts. Read the clues when doing the mission, quite amusing

Any rewards for the new missions?

No, just the same rewards from last year's VDay event in Pocket D.

I do like the veil fix on Test, it's transparent and the viel doesn't inherent from the hair, looks soo much better.

Can somebody give me a rundown of what the normal valentines day event entails. I've managed to be away, or unavailable, or whatnot every single time valentines day rolls around. I dunno how I've managed it, but I'm one shy of the highest veteran award, and have never done the event.

What's the general synopsis of what you need to do?
