  • There is a 20 minute timer to beat Pink Zakum.
  • You will be able to leave the instance by talking to Researcher H.
  • If you die, you will respawn in a room with a portal and Researcher H. Use the portal to enter the fight again, or talk to Researcher H to be given the option to leave.
  • The OS4 buffs will be removed if you leave the map while Pink Zakum is still alive.
  • The OS4 buffs will remain in effect if you leave the map after defeating Pink Zakum.
  • After the battle is complete you'll be sent to a debriefing room. Talk to Head Researcher Wynn to claim your prize or admit defeat.

Nice 9:30, 10:30 and 11:30 EST =/
Way to punch your EST-players in the face. (lol, nah I guess it's not THAT late, but still)

Also I thought they were called OS3 ( Omega Sector Secret Service) or something. Or do the S's stand for something else?

Not a word about the Ho Ho Ho trophy.
Even in the known issues.
Nice.
And they still insist the black dragon ring can be worn by "warrior classes".

As for pink zakum, 4:30, 5:30, and 6:30 AM for me. Guess I'll only see it if I get severe insomnia.

Why are all of the Known Issues the exact same ones from last time =| even the simple ones like the Craw Pirate Hat one...something they easily could've fixed the second that they found out about it. v.v oh well.

I also hope these items can be put into cash shop storage, because I don't have room in my Equip for that many useless items (useless after I've used up their Charm, of course). Ah well, they probably expire in a day or a week anyway.

The daily gear expires in a week.
It can be put into cash shop storage.
In about an hour, when my ring upgrades, I'll be able to tell whether the other adventurers on my account get some of their own. If so, lots of free Charm for moi!

Hmm, so only 3 days of goof off time to still get Level 10 on the Evo Ring.
Doesn't offer much, but still something.
