I have too and I was playing a ranked match and I met a classic costume Orchid with Hot written on it got my ass beat which was expected.

Username was foxy something.(really should have recent played)

I like this game but suck at it get too excited and just mash really bad habit.

Edit: ok got the username from replay option username is Fox27111

i need patch notes!!

and yea classic orchid costume is there now, the game seems brighter (not sure how to describe it) as well. achievements for characters are no longer 2000 matches but 200 (thank u double helix), ranking system seems to be updated as well!

loading time seems a little better? idk might just be placebo lol. also finally 100% complete for achievements!

patch is def out. I noticed that you know can see if your opponent is having a ranking up or down match which I was hoping for - gives you even more incentive to win!

I also noticed a bug with the music during two fights stopping all together and then starting. Also noticed a bug during the fight screen where a noise is played after the fighters are announced - could get annoying.

Classic orchid is cool but you can tell at the last min they had to change back to KI 1 outfit as the ki 2 head is on her but not the more revealing costume. hmmmm

The lighting around her washes the costume out some. Wish they didn't have to change it to the KI2 Orchid. You can tell there's more than just the outfit. She's smoother and the veins are gone.
 
Is anyone not getting the update? I can't get it to prompt me to download it and it locks me out of the online multiplayer without it.

Is it still rolling out and/or is there some way to force the download?

I am happy to be wrong about when the patch would be released :)

Seems like all good things, I assume Sadira's unbreakable strings have been patched? Didn't see anything specifically mentioning it.

edit: I see where it mentions the Sadira fix, excellllent.

I don't understand why there is a process to use classic Jago to begin with. The costume is obviously completed so go ahead and let people use it. People did pay money for these.
Still didn't fix the spelling error for Jorneyman either. In classic DH fashion for everything they fix something else must be broken ;P

Fallen Xbot (cannot continue gaining levels in this class)
yikes. based on jago's and orchid's classic costumes, maybe this was an idea better on paper?
