So, I'll make a post for Jetfire later where he confesses and apologises for being the cause even if Starscream was the one to accidentally let them out, but yes a small event with a mass of glowy bugs. For a few days forward from the 16th, there will be tiny (for TFs, for human-sized people, they're about the size of an adult's hand), glowing dragonfly-like bugs flying around, using rotors instead of wings.

you're free to make comparisons to helicopters/Whirl

They're perfectly harmless, but there will be a lot of them and they like to cluster around being glowy. They like people in general and anyone leaving the Haven and moving towards the Badlands in particular will have the bugs around them being very annoying.

Anyone flying around will also be pretty much mobbed.

After around four days, they'll all swarm around Prima's giant lamp and then disperse for the rest of the planet, leaving the Haven blessedly more or less completely bug-free again.

Hello again, friends!

As previously announced, we're going to be having a gamewide item drop the week of December 24th. Now's the time to submit your requests! Requests are still subject to the usual limitations – deadly items may be nerfed, extremely large ones may be downsized, etc.

What do I do?
