Wacky Weekends is a ghost town, nearly no one is playing that mode.

I hate they force you to play event queue for some of the mission. It wouldn't be such a problem if FFA was core isntead of being replaced by random minigames

The thing that’s even more obnoxious about that is that some Wacky Weekend modes don’t allow you to rack up very much damage. So, after all the waiting to find a room, you might not even make much progress toward the missions, if any at all. FFA is at least guaranteed to net you a decent amount of damage.

I thought for a second you said that the mode outright removed damage, like everyone's at 0% all the time so you have to combo for all kills - and now I really want that as a side-mode in a platfighter. Would've gone hard in NASB1.

I kinda hate Wacky Weekends, and tbh I have since they added it. All of the ideas they have are really low effort or just aren't fun? Like restricting you to only one move or the stuff with splatting into walls and floors, I do not enjoy it. Conversely...

I really like this idea, and I think it would be a lot more interesting as a side mode, it would be a lot more interesting that four player break the targets.

Next Arena event is for DC Bombshells Wonder Woman.

DC Bombshells Harley is the current Rogue Rift award.

The amount of cut cosmetics in this game is genuinely staggering, like this looks done and ready to go, why was it not released during that season?

When the game goes down, will it go into an offline mode where every character and cosmetic is available, or are you only limited to what you had before the shutdown?

If the former, just dump all the cut cosmetics in there and let us play with them.

Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure they said you'll only get to keep what you already have.

It also said that your save file for offline mode will be locally on your computer instead of on their sever, so it’ll probably be relatively easy to modify it to give yourself everything.

because live service games are all about the drip feed
Well I get that but it seems to me like they weren't planning on repeating themes for future seasons so... idk it should've been released during that season imo

Yeah that was my thought too. I really hope that doesn't mean characters will be locked if you don't have them, but I wouldn't put it past them

The local multiplayer and training modes have everyone unlocked already and they’ve said all fighters will be unlocked for offline use.

I'm mostly sad that the unique voiceover for Mad Jack will be lost media now that PFG is no more, unless the one dude maintaining servers is all they need to update the game in like, a month from now at most

They did. Valentineon and Ugly Sweater themes came back. Even then, putting content on the backburner regardless if it's not a repeated theme is common practice.

Those were holidays that come around every year though it's obvious those themes could repeat.

Frankly though either way they should've done this instead of one of the four DC skins from that theme anyway

The Bombshells Wonder Woman was easier to get than I thought. (I played through two sets of Arena matches, with one of them as a random character, with a lot of the experience coming from PvP or rifts)

I don't know if this makes a difference (since I'm not sure if Rifts will be available after the shutdown), but I'm almost done with the Fighters Road - I need about 1500 experience to get the last character (Marvin the Martian), so as long as I get to the end of the battlepass (or play enough Rogue Rifts), I'll get it.

It's a shame that this game wasn't given more of a chance to survive, though I suppose two separate launches and a heavy focus on monetization screwed it over. (on a related note, I'm surprised that Gleamium isn't more widely available as a result of the shutdown - there are a ton of costumes that are seemingly impossible to get now because there's basically no way to earn Gleamium)

EDIT: I got Marvin the Martian, so I'm all done the Fighters Road.

I haven't been playing lately. I think somewhere along the line I just lost all motivation to continue with it. I'm gonna miss out on the skins but whatever.

ALSO. Figured you guys would get a kick out of this. Remember the Sonic crossover skin drawings I did of some of the characters back when the Sonic/DC crossover was announced back in September?
I posted on my Bluesky account that I'd draw a full pic of Garnet as Rouge if I hit 500 followers by the end of February.

I did, so...

Just saw it today, and agreed, it's very good. Anyone interested should go check it out as soon as they can, it might not be in theaters for very long.
I haven’t seen it myself yet, but between WB being WB and them removing all the classic Looney Tunes from their own streaming service (because it doesn’t fit the vision of “Adult and Family” programming), something tells me time is short for it.
I should try and see it.

To be honest? Knowing WB, I'm kinda concerned it may end up as lost media.

Also, major props - the film has no celebrity casting at all, it's just voice actors doing it all, which is a huge W for voice acting as a whole.

Wayne Knight has a small part in it, but you could probably charitably call him a voice actor by this point anyway.

Don't ever call it lost media, especially since it's on Watchcartoononline thanks to foreign releases.

Final rogue rift is live.

And like last time, got Mad Jack in my second looney run. What a bittersweet feeling.

Btw, even though i doubt they will ever patch his voicelines in due to PFG being shut down, if you have subtitles on they still are coded to play so you got that at least. (You can read them but the VO for Mad Jack is just regular jack)
