# 1 Sneak Preview - Grav Bikes and Free Costume Pieces!

Something big is on the way to Millennium City. Over the next two months, starting next week, we'll be releasing new adventures, planned for a release every two weeks.

This mega-event is going to unfold similarly to the Nighthawk event from last year: New missions will be added over time, with new items available to tie in with the theme. Everything's going to culminate at the end of the event, with what's planned to be a custom Alert. Starting next week, you'll be able to get a free costume piece, plus the new Grav Bike Arsenal lockbox.

So, i'm guessing these new missions aren't something permanent?

Sadly they did say it would be like the Nighthawk event, but that was fun while it lasted. So hopefully this one will be too.

I hope the new missions are permanent... just disable the extra rewards from the event (After the event is over) in the future, but leave the missions there...

Agreed - I wonder why it was even necessary to remove the Nighthawk event - especially since there are still missions in the game that have one of his imposters in the bank, per one of the opening missions from that event, even now. This game needs new content BADLY. I suggest leaving missions like this in the game permanently unless they are specific holiday or repeat events like Blood Moon.

Still, free costume instead of a Z-store release. That's not too bad. I've yet to see a costume pack I didn't like or find a use for in some way. So a new free costume set is a nice offering.

Main question I have - are there versions of the bikes that will be available from the Z-store? Cause I'm not going to ever open a lockbox under any circumstances.

You make it available to me for direct purchase, I'll buy it. Make me gamble for it? No sale.

If it's initially only available as lockbox but will LATER go to the store, I'm okay with waiting for that. I'm patient.

So, they're allowed to call one of their grav-bikes Copperhead, yet I can't call my hillbilly moonshining archer the same?

Yes, I'm aware it's also the name of a third-rate DC villain in the past, but I'm still unhappy about it.

Yay! More Adventures!

I'd like to agree with Baroness's idea to leave them in the game, after all, STO has a similar thing with their featured episodes. Because we do need many more adventures in CO.

Unfortunately probably not (which is a bad thing IMO).

Agreed, and I'm also curious about this.

a new and possibly good event (will have to wait and see if it even works this time) is a welcome addition.

BUT

we need more PERMENENT REAL CONTENT! we havent had any in a whole YEAR and never had much EVER since launch, which was low on content to start with!
