November 26th, 2021

General

  • Fixed an ancient bug where a mission will spawn with the wrong difficulty settings if the owner wasn't in the zone when the first person enters.
  • Fixed a bug where a door mission acquired while on a mission map was not having a door assigned. This fixes many Hunt missions that chain into door missions, if the hunt portion is completed while inside a door mission.
  • Character creation: fixed an issue that allowed character data to be modified while the Tutorial Choice dialog was open.
  • Updated many loading screen tips that were no longer accurate.

Dr. Aeon Strike Force

  • New Strike Force: Chasing Fool’s Gold [Dr. Aeon] (Villain, Level 35-50)

The supervillain genius, Dr. Aeon has begun to take notice of suspicious unscientific activity going on within Aeon City! Such things are inconceivable! None can be permitted to befowl the glory of his utopia!

In his unparalleled brilliance, he has decided to enlist the service of local villains for the purpose of helping him maintain and enforce order! Definitely not to deflect any potential responsibility or liabilities from himself! Never!

However, even his immaculate mind couldn’t predict the culmination of this plot. Decades of planning sees the rise of an unexpected threat of which Dr. Aeon played no small part in helping create, in more ways than one!

  • Strike Force Contact: Dr. Aeon, Aeon City, Cap Au Diable
    • Located atop the balcony of the Arachnos administrative building in Aeon City; This location can be reached through the elevators with rounded doors located inside the lobby.

D-Sync Origin Enhancements

Completion of the Dr. Aeon Strike Force will give players the option of selecting a new enhancement category as a reward called D-Sync Origin Enhancements (DSO) once every 18 hours.

These enhancements are parallel to Hamidon/Titan/Hydra Origin in strength and can be combined with those types to increase their level up to a maximum of 53.

However, the DSO enhancements have several new combinations of boosts (In addition to previously existing combos). These new combos have a higher drop weight than the older and you will have a higher (but not guaranteed) chance to receive one when selecting this reward option.

  • The new combinations are as follows:
    • Endurance Modification/Accuracy
    • Endurance Modification/Recharge
    • Accuracy/Range
    • Damage/Endurance
    • Damage/Recharge
    • Heal/Accuracy
    • Heal/Recharge
    • Slow/Recharge/Endurance
    • Threat/Accuracy/Recharge

Advanced Difficulty Options

With the release of the Dr. Aeon Strike Force, we’ve completely rewritten the challenge settings code and greatly expanded what we can do with future content in terms of accommodating difficulty options and delivering curated challenges to players seeking that type of gameplay experience.

These optional difficulty settings are accessed from the Challenge Settings menu for content that has been added to the feature (as of Page 3 this will only include the Dr. Aeon Strike Force). These options require being level 50 to select, and change the content in various ways. These new difficulty modes were hand-crafted and balanced, and are not based on the previous Challenge Settings that exist currently.

Facing content with these Advanced Difficulty Settings enabled will grant the team more rewards for overcoming challenges, additionally, some badges may only be available by going above the normal difficulty setting. The design goal of these options was to ensure all roles on a team (tank, damage, control, support) could contribute in a rewarding way, and give Incarnate level characters using Invention-Origin enhancements something to test their fully-built characters against.

For the new Advanced Difficulty Settings, the difficulty levels are named after the old reputation difficulties and each changes the content in various ways. The specifics below are the current settings for the Dr. Aeon Strike Force:

  • Arch-villains have Praetorian base to-hit (63.75%).
  • Certain powerful Arch-villains have double base health (with normalized regeneration numbers).

  • Boss rank or higher enemies have access to additional powers, including those needed to earn certain challenge badges.

  • Certain static encounters have rank increases such as Lieutenants spawning as Bosses instead.

  • Certain powerful Arch-villains have double base health (with normalized regeneration numbers) and will reward 2 Astral merits per defeat.
  • Players will be unable to use non-revive large/super Inspirations.
  • In addition to all standard rewards, completion of this difficulty will reward 2 Empyrean merits and an Incarnate reward table containing your choice of: A random Incarnate salvage, an Empyrean merit, or two super Inspirations.

  • Boss rank or higher enemies have access to additional powers, including those needed to earn certain challenge badges.

Challenge Modes

The old TF and Flashback challenges have been rewritten using the above code. This has resulted in a number of changes to the way certain badges are obtained:

  • The various Flashback badges for completing challenges at various levels now do it based on the storyarc maximum level, instead of the hidden Stature Level which made it difficult to know which storyarcs counted for what. Only storyarcs that reward 5 merits or more will count towards the challenge badges.
  • Options for 'No Incarnate Powers' and 'Only Alpha Slot' added to the powers options for any arc in the SL9 (Level 45-50) categories. Completing a Flashback arc using these two new options rewards two new Ouroboros category badges.
  • That Task Forces & Strike Forces that have a "Master of X" badge associated with them now have a dedicated challenge option for the badge. The individual power restriction and defeat limit options no longer work for receiving these badges.
    • Selecting the "Master of" challenge for a given TF will set the team size to 8, maximum defeats to 0, disable temporary powers, and disable Incarnate powers. When successfully completed, the challenge will award the "Master of" badge and a Rare Incarnate Component.
  • CRYPTIC ONLY: Added "Master of" badges to the Eden, Hydra and Market Crash tirals.

Arachnos

    • Vengeful Slice (Tanker) - corrected Fiery Embrace to apply its damage as a DoT to mirror how the power applied its damage (Brutes already did this).
    • Ablating Strike (non-Stalker) - power now cancels the Weaken2 and Empower2 combos when used.
    • Ablating Strike (Stalker) - power now cancels the Weaken2 combo when used.
    • Power Slice (Stalker) - power now cancels the Weaken2 combo when used.
Robotics
  • Protector Bots > Force Field
    • Protector Bots will only target their owners.
    • Only one of them will ever buff, and buffing the owner will result in the owner, and all its henchmen, being protected by the Force Shield.
    • Scale increased from 0.75 to 1.3, this is slightly weaker than having the two Protector Bots slowly buff everyone, but at the same time, now both **Protector Bots get to benefit from the same buff as everyone else, and don't waste time refreshing buffs on every target they see.
Savage Melee Bug Sweep
  • Numerous bugs were recently discovered. The main summary of these bug fixes is this:
    • If a power had an extra DoT, it was removed
    • If a power was doing the wrong damage, it was fixed (per the design formula). This includes PvE, PvP, modifier tables, Fiery Embrace, and Critical Hits.
  • Hemorrhage
    • Fiery Embrace was only doing 45% of the upfront 0.76 scale damage (0.342). However, this effect should be using the design formula's scale (2.6) when calculating its 45% damage effect.
      • Changed Fiery Embrace effect's damage scale from 0.342 to 1.170.
  • Savage Strike
    • Fiery Embrace was only doing 45% of a single tick of damage. The Fiery Embrace effect was changed to perform the same 2-tick DoT as Savage Strike at 45% scale. This power also has an extra DoT effect in PvP which it should not have had. Finally, Scrapper's crit damage was only doing the equivalent of 1 tick of damage as opposed to the full 2 ticks of damage.
      • Changed Fiery Embrace effect's duration to 0.4s and its period to 0.35s (2 ticks of damage instead of 1 tick)
      • Removed the extra PvP DoT.
      • (Scrapper Only) Critical Hit damage increased from 0.380 scale to 0.760 scale.
  • Shred
    • The damage was set too low per the design formula. Also, the PvP damage was set to nearly half of what it should have been set to.
      • Changed PvE damage scale from 0.195 to 0.210 (6 ticks total: 1.17 scale to 1.26)
      • Changed PvP damage scale from 0.1479 to 0.2991 (6 ticks total: 0.8874 to 1.7946)
  • Rending Flurry
    • For some ATs, the endurance cost on the redirect versions of Rending Flurry (Normal and Large) was set too high. Also, some of the PvP damage effects were still using the wrong modifier table. Finally, some versions of Rending Flurry had an extra DoT effect that it should not have had.
      • Changed endurance cost from 20.8 to 13.52.
      • Changed PvP Damage to 1.127 (Melee_PvPDamage)
      • Changed PvP tick damage from 0.095 scale to 0.0901 scale (per the design formula)
  • Maiming Slash (Scrapper only)
    • PvP damage was set too low. Changed PvP damage scale from 1.2839 to 1.4188 (per the design formula)
    • Changed the PvP tick damage from 0.1025 scale to 0.1135 scale (per the design formula)
Sonic Manipulation
  • Strident Echo
    • This power should now be able to hold lieutenants
  • Deafening Wave
    • This power can now hold most bosses and lieutenants for either its duration or until attacked again.
  • Earsplitter
    • This power can now hold most bosses for either its duration or until attacked again.
Portable Workbench
  • This is now a mobile NPC that will follow the player around.
  • No longer uses world collision.
  • Can't be used to trap NPCs.
  • No longer has a funky hitbox / hand icon to open the crafting interface.
  • Is a pushable pet, so players don't collide with it and just shove it out of the way.
  • Doesn't explode and leave debris when dismissed.
Temporary Powers
  • A number of temporary powers were missing flags that disabled them correctly in content where temporary powers are disallowed:
    • Defense Amplifier
    • Survival Amplifier
    • Offense Amplifier
    • Winter Ward
    • Frost Bite

Proliferation

Stone Melee

This powerset has been proliferated for Scrappers. Unlike the Brute/Tanker versions, Seismic Smash hold is mag 3, not 4. The power has an increased critical rate (20%) but does not crit for full damage. Instead it crits for +28% damage and inflicts double mag hold.

Stone Armor

This powerset has been proliferated for Scrappers. This version of the set does not get access to Granite. Instead it has a new power called Geode. Geode is similar to Hibernate, creating a protective structure where you can regenerate and recover endurance. The power has some big differences from Hibernate: While Geode is active, you accumulate Geothermal Power stacks that increase the damage inflicted by Brimstone's fire proc. Geode does not trigger NoPhase locks, nor is it blocked by them. Enemies can target and attempt to destroy the Geode structure, once destroyed, the toggle will drop. Any buff aura the player has will remain active and will continue to buff allies.

PVP

  • The command /powexec_location now requires line of sight in PVP in order to be used in target mode with teleport powers. This change only applies in PVP zones and arenas, does not affect its usage with non-teleport powers, and does not impact the use of other modes such as forward:20 or up:max.
  • All travel power speed cap increases from Issue 27, Page 2 now also apply in PvP
  • Modified the PvP diminishing return curves for travel speeds
    • SpeedRunning set to 0.45, SpeedFlying set to 0.60, SpeedJumping set to 0.45 (all were 0.55 previously)
  • Sorcery > Arcane Bolt / Arcane Power:
    • Arcane Power can now trigger
    • Arcane Bolt can proc for double damage
  • Super Reflexes:
    • Lowered the activation period of powers with scaling resistance from 2s to 0.5s (all ATs). The duration of these effects have been set to 0.75s to compensate. NOTE: This affects PvE as well.
    • Increased PvP Elusivity in Focused Fighting, Focused Senses and Evasion to 25%.
    • Added Toxic Resistance to all scaling resistance powers
    • Bug Fix: Corrected Brute's Evasion elusivity duration. It was set to 0.75s when it was supposed to be 2.25s. This resulted in AoE elusivity dropping out between each 2s tick application.
  • Electrical Affinity:
    • Rejuvenating Circuit: Increased the Main Target heal to do an extra 0.41 scale in PvP only. This makes the main target get the equivalent of a 1.96 scale heal (same as Heal Other from Empathy). The chain heal still works off of the 1.55 scale heal, so no change for the healing of secondary targets.
    • Defibrillate: Reduced the Endurance Drain from Scale -30 to Scale -20 in PvP.
    • Faraday Cage: Increased the duration of PvP-only effects to 20s (up from 5s). This will allow players to buff themselves inside the Faraday Cage, then exit for up to 20s of protection. These effects only include the following:
      • Resistance to Mez, Teleport
      • Protection to Mez, Knock, and Repel
    • Faraday Cage: Decreased the activation period from 1 second to 0.2 second. The faster rate should allow for the Faraday Cage buffs to apply more quickly/reliably when moving through the Faraday Cage bubble. Note: This does not affect Static build up, which will still use a 5s activation period. NOTE: This affects PvE as well.
  • Trick Arrow > EMP Arrow:
    • EMP Field: Increased the duration of PvP-only effects to 20s (up from 0.65s). This will allow players to buff themselves inside the EMP field, then exit for up to 20s of protection. These effects only include the following:
      • Resistance to Mez, Teleport
      • Protection to Mez, Knock, and Repel
    • EMP Field: Decreased the activation period from 0.5 second to 0.2 second. The faster rate should allow for the Faraday Cage buffs to apply more quickly/reliably when moving through the Faraday Cage bubble. Note: This does not affect Static build up, which will still use a 5s activation period. NOTE: This affects PvE as well.
  • Devices > Toxic Web Grenade:
    • Set the stacking on the -Recharge effect to kReplace in PvP. This will still stack in PvE.
  • Gravity Control > Dimension Shift:
    • Reduced duration from 20s to 3s in PvP only.
  • Singularity's Gravitational Pull:
    • Set a PvEOnly flag on the pull effect that requires Player targets. This should prevent pulling in PvP, but allow critters who summon a Singularity to still utilize the power on players in PvE.

January 4th, 2022

General

  • Thermal Defenders have been hard at work melting the snow in Atlas Park.
  • Super Packs no longer drop Experience Boosters instead of Experienced.

Geometry

  • Fixed bartap LOD at distance that has been broken for a long time

Powers

  • Fixed missing visual FX for the Holiday Event version of the Snowball temporary power.

Emotes

  • Fixed issues with em ddcoffee, em ddcoffee2 emote visuals on male and huge
  • em ddcoffee, em ddcoffee2 now properly require the same badge as the donuts
