It looks great, but I'm a little confused on something.

In order to get the Valentine's Tip drops, you have to 'do an attunement mission' for Ganymede/Scratch. Does that mean that those of us who have all ready done said Valentine's Day missions in previous years are attuned, or do we have to the whole thing over again?

Seriously, which is it? "Yes, those who have done the missions before are attuned." -or- "Yes, we have to do them over again."

Yes, you have to do then again

It's not a different mission from the hero/villain co-op missions of the past?

Yeah, there is a bit of code remnant that doesn't spawn the correct level enemies unless you have a villain or rogue in your group. More info on how to avoid this bug will be coming shortly.

The missions from Ganymede and Scratch, where you need differently aligned characters to destroy the mission objective at the end, are still bugged. The mission objectives con friendly to all and a GM has to finish the mission. I reported this last year. The response I got from the GM last year and this year was the same. "It will be fixed as soon as possible." When I told him today that that was what I was told last year, he said "Thanks for playing " etc. Boy, what fun.


Chained Bulldog level 33 Stalker on Liberty
Cobalt Blue Knight level 32 Scrapper on Guardian
Drone Keeper level 32 MM on Champion
Glacier Force level 28 Tanker on Justice
and 7 nearly full servers of alts waiting their turns.

And don't forget when you finish that mission from Scratch or Ganymede:

1. You don't have to participate in the opposite alignment mission again, like you did for the badge.

2. Go back to Scratch or Ganymede and ask for another mission. They'll send to to DJ Zero for attunement to Valentine Tips.

Ah, that is why I've seen GMs hanging around Pocket D.

This^^^ and the previous^^^. The new content is gated behind broken old content that we've already done? What kind of stupid decision was that?


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.

You know how it is -- sometimes stuff breaks between beta and live.

Hey, you know what would have made this event better?

IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO DROP MISSIONS BECAUSE OF MY ALIGNMENT.

My villain character has gotten letters that can only be delivered to Skyway or Atlas.


"Mastermind Pets operate...differently, and aren't as easily fixed. Especially the Bruiser. I want to take him out behind the woodshed and pull an "old yeller" on him at times." - Castle

Interesting new addition to the event, not too happy with having to repeat the Ganymede/Scratch mishes though to get to the Valentines. Once one has the badges one should be attuned if they just visit Cupid....er I mean DJ Zero...

The Devs knew that would happen and figured dropping and getting new ones was easy enough.

Knowing this, I thought I outsmarted the system by turning Vigilante in advance, thus, being able to travel to both 'sides'.

And then I got two deliveries to Fort Trident (both BOTTLER and the Trash Can)... and I couldn't get in. Only full Heroes can. D'OH.



And now... the Ski Chalet is open. I presume probably to keep the chalet door from winding up being a mission door for Duncan or Hawk.
