Season of The Drop Roadmap - Fall 2024

I never thought about that will we be able to use our suit and do the story mission without having to take out the super fan?

Part of the reason I was so against it was precisely because of this possibility. IOI have made similar suits before (The Cashmerian and Blue Flamingo most notably) and have remade them to differentiate them, despite logically only being a problem in one level. It’s a precedent that should be respected in my opinion.

That said, I wasn’t aware the Vampire Magician outfit was an illegal outfit in the upper floors of Paris, and I made a mod for that, so maybe I’m the biggest unintentional hypocrite ever.

People have unlocked the Suit on peacock and it doesnt have the functions of the Superfan. I wish they could like, add a blue hue to the mask or something but let’s be honest I think IO are trying to add as much as possible without needing to rextecture or create new models

[Konzti]

I mean they could change the robe color to black rather easily and call it the Shriek Suit, make it a little movie reference. Why “shriek” and not “scream”? Well, to avoid any intellectual property issues.

[Melusca]

To go for another movie reference they could also dye it green and call it the Shrek suit.

Looks like IO forgot to update the background image for the game for the Season of The Drop on PS5… Still has the one for The Disruptor.

[ZeroGravitas]

This one is on Sony, not IOI. They say it’s a tech error that shows the last news item for each game, even if that news is wildly out of date.

PS5 homescreen is now filling up with ugly, outdated ads and promotional art

Theoretically, it’s been resolved.

[thrison]

Only two days left until I finally have a reason to launch the game for the first time in a month.

Bit weird they’re activating a challenge and releasing a FC batch on a Monday though…

[The_Elite_Institute]

Yeah it’s weird that there has been such a massive gap in content. I half expected a surprise drop due to the large gap, but seemingly not.

Hopefully the batch tomorrow is a good one!

[Switcher]

So, we got a new curator batch tommorow, I really hope it’s a great batch.

[The_Elite_Institute]

Hopefully it’s a new curator batch. Perhaps the ones on the roadmap are combatglue batches and the curators will come whenever IOI drops them!

Hopefully it’s a curator batch though, so we won’t have to study up on really obscure glitches in order to complete them

[Switcher]

I do want to see what other players come up with so a curated batch is right up my alley

[Switcher]

Ok, so today we got a batch, heavily anticipate it, need some fun content.

November 15

Surgical Procedure

Apply the right treatment to your targets to unlock a new outfit

This part of the blog post has been removed on IO’s website…

@Combatglue @Marchouette What’s the situation here? Was this something that wasn’t meant to be included in the post (and would explain why its not on the actual roadmap image)? What should our expectations be for November 15th?

[The_Elite_Institute]

Maybe it has just ben pushed into the next roadmap. I think this one goes up to mid-November, so perhaps that is going to available as soon as the next one drops?

Do we know what time the new Contracts are dropping alongside with the ‘Adding Fuel to Fire’ Challenge?

[Switcher]

Usually in around 30min to an hour from now Clemens used to drop batches, idk about Samir tho.

[thrison]

Fugly tile image putting the name right across it like that. Also, they’ve put it in the wrong spot in the Elusive Targets list. It should be to the right of The Surgeons.

[lukefsje]

I’m not sure why they’re doing another version of The Undying Returns (2024). I thought they’d be doing a version of The Undying to set it apart. Since they’re doing the Returns one again, why not just reactivate the one from this past Spring, which has the same exact title?

Also not a fan of having text on the image itself, if they wanted to make it look different from the Spring one they should’ve just used the Hitman 2 image for the mission:

[thrison]

It’s interesting that my mindset went from “oh damn, they’re bringing back The Undying!!” earlier in the year to “ugh. They’re bringing back The Undying” now.

[Heisenberg]

I think it’s more to do with the fact that it’s The Undying Returns again, rather than the actual Undying.
