Still there, but updated where appropriate. Most noticeably for hero capes at 20.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

HOWEVER....Can you still unlock capes at level 20 & Auras at level 30 by running missions? Or have those time-honored rites of passge gone the direction of the dinosaur? |

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
Also, if you get a toon to 50 and run the Incarnate content, you can use Incarnate rewards to buy level 1 access to capes and auras for alts of your choosing.

So to clarify - RM store unlock is account wide. The incarnate merit unlock is character specific

(And in-game mission unlocks are still there and also character specific)

Hah! You youngsters! Back in the REAL old days we didn't have capes! WE had to use rocks! No, wait, we didn't have rocks back then either!

I could have sworn we had capes before rocks.

We did. Capes were Issue 2 IIRC and rocks came out a couple of months later during the first Halloween event ("I got a rock").

Well, superstrong tankers and earth tankers could throw huge rocks before capes were available, so I'm on the rocks side of the debate. Stone Age preceded Cape Age.

*yeah, I quoted myself.
SoA contact is still there, SoAs still get their pitiful excuse of a story line. All the other old Mercy contacts will give the end of their current story arc to old characters that are still on it, but otherwise are just visual flavor.

Being able to buy the Vanguard costume options is similar... makes me wonder if things like Roman Armor, Witch's Hat, or Rularuu weapons will ever be purchasable?
But yeah, when I saw how cheap the aura/cape unlocks were I did it immediately!
my lil RWZ Challenge vid
I remember when SG's would anounce that the next meeting day would be C&C(Cape and Costume) day. Everyone would call up their contacts and go to the local tailor to set up the unlock missions in advance. It would be more than an event. Cookies and punch to be served after.

I'd love for Roman Armour sets to be available to purchase so it'd be available from the start. I have a few Roman alt ideas that I'd love to have in proper attire from lvl 1-50. It'd be even better if they attached a starting Cimerora zone next to the existing one, but I don't expect that to ever happen.

Isn't the Witch's Hat part of the magic user costume pack or whatever it's called?

Pretty sure the unlockable witch's hat from the Katie Hannon TF was what was being referred to.|
