Just opening a new thread for this one http://www.nextislandlife.com/content-releases-vu-info/6085-march-13th-content-release.html as it reached 10 posts and additional ones are not readable due to current forum issues Think Meg had the 11th post and would be interested to see what she wrote ... Meg, maybe you could copy your reply in this thread ;)
Actually, my last post (which is #8 on my PC, not #11) is this one: I am so glad you're enjoying the storyline and missions! The Tropical Shades are a known bug, sorry about that. We expect to have them back to normal in the patch: Known Issue: Tropical Shades Blueprint | Next Island Dev Blog Last VU's blueprints for weapons have been in the dev pipeline for quite some time, but I had a bit to do with the ingredients in this release's blueprints. We made sure that they are using crystals and parts that have (almost) no other uses yet in world, so I'd suggest working with a guild or a group to gather materials and exchange them, or use some of the crystal stacks everyone says they have in storage. My goal is, of course, to have many uses for each piece of Next Island loot, and I hope the next few VUs will keep bringing us closer to that goal.
