General
- Halcyon has been renamed to Reunion (EU).
- For the next week each account will be given 20 transfer tokens every 3 days to allow for easier migration.
- The XP Boosters in Super Packs have been replaced with charges of the Experienced power (which grants Patrol XP).
- Moved the Respec Recipe from the Merit Vendor (formerly 50 Reward Merits) to P2W (10 million influence).
- Completing a Morality Mission now rewards 30 merits regardless of whether the player switched, reinforced, or double-reinforced their alignment.
- The costume change delay timer has been lowered to 15 seconds.
Custom XP Rates
- The base XP rate on all shards is now back to 100% (AE rewards still halved outside of Dev Choice content).
- You can now acquire +25%, +50%, and +100% XP boosters for free from the P2W Vendor (or the Transact 4 Victory vendor in Praetoria).
- These boosters will reduce your inf income by the same amount they boost your XP gain.
- The boosters last for 1 hour of in-game time, but you can acquire up to 8 hours at a time.
- The boosters stop working immediately at level 50 - Veteran Levels must be earned normally.
- The boosters can be deleted from the Powers window (right click > Delete Power).
- Please note that this is an experimental feature, it may be altered or removed without notice.
Power
- Beta Decay (Tanker, Scrapper, Brute, Blaster): the "first target" 10% recharge buff should no longer erroneously stack for all foes in range. The 2.5% per target recharge buff will continue to stack as expected. Max recharge buff with 10 targets should be +35%.
- Beta Decay (Blaster): Will now require a target for it's "first target" 10% recharge buff to be applied.
- Bio Armor > Evolving Armor: Fixed a bug where the stacking portion of the buff was overlapping 50% of the time.
- Frost Bite: Fixed a bug with the damage scale for this power which caused it to heal targets.
- Paragon Police > Call for Backup: this power will no longer endlessly summon PPD reinforcements. It previously attempted to limit itself to 3 uses by doing weird things with Stealth which didn't work; it now uses the Meter attribute.
- AV Purple Triangles now provide protection against OnlyAffectsSelf.
Bug Fixes
- The PPD in Kings Row will no longer infinitely multiply using the "Call for Backup" power.
- Patrol XP should now work again. It was not compatible with server-wide XP buffs.
05/09/19
- Arenas Enabled
- Salvage Market seeded to keep costs down: 10K for common salvage, 100K for uncommon salvage, 1M for rare salvage, and 50K for a Brainstorm Idea
05/07/19
General
- All servers now set to +50% XP Boost
- There was an issue with Respecs granted from leveling badges; they were following the old limit of holding a maximum of 3 respecs at a time, which means you got the respec for levels 10, 20 and 30 but not 40 and 50. This should be fixed now
- Added free respec for all due to the cooldown issue and the level 40 badge not awarding a respec (may take a day or two to arrive)
- Fixed the infinite cooldown bug affecting some powers
Tasks
- Arcs marked Developer's Choice in Architect Entertainment will no longer be affected by the Architect XP reduction (This is an experimental change, and may not work as expected - in the event of bugs, we’ll work on fixes)
- The minimum level for Positron TF Part 1 has been lowered to 8
Badges
- As the #badge-hoarders have noted, Echo: Faultline did not have any exploration badges. This patch fixes that oversight, returning three badges that were in the original Faultline zone before Issue 8 to Echo: Faultline, and adding 8 new exploration badges and a zone accolade
- Moved "Newsman", "Faultless Mystic" and "Apex" from Faultline to Echo: Faultline
- Added "Riveting", "Upcycled" and "Rock Bottom" to Faultline
- Added "Forsaken", "Pristine", "Claim Denied", "Spare Parts" and "Dug Too Deep" to Echo: Faultline
- Added "Epicenter", Echo: Faultline zone accolade.
- Added "Fashion Victim" for spending 50,000,000 inf on the tailor. Rewards a Free tailor token for your trouble
