New Task Force The Golden Rule - Marigold 'Zoe' Langston's Task Force (Level 40-50) “Langston Corporation has been perpetually busy since their arrival in Kallisti Wharf, and it's now been revealed that they've been collaborating on a joint project with Portal Corporation. One that Marigold Langston promises will change the inter-dimensional landscape forever! Unfortunately, an emergency has struck that threatens to throw the whole project into disarray: Nemesis has kidnapped several key Langston Corp scientists in an effort to steal the technology himself, or if nothing else, ensure it can never be used against him. Marigold Langston has received official clearance from Paragon City to assemble a super-powered task force of competent individuals who aren't afraid of the threat posed by the Prussian Prince of Automatons. This job will involve delivering a counter-offensive to Nemesis' operations, something not many can claim to have done, but the Gold Bricker's heiress has some tricks of her own she believes will even the odds."

New Expanded +5 & Incarnate +6/+7 Difficulty Options Additions New higher difficulty options +5/+6/+7 have been added. +6 and +7 difficulty will only function when on Incarnate content such as Dark Astoria or Cimerora Incarnate repeatables, otherwise it will default to +5 anywhere else. Difficulty change options have been moved from the chat pop-menu to the Mission/Task tab found under the Navigation window. Visibility of the new higher difficulties require the following: +5 - if you have Apha, Destiny or Lore + Well Drinker or Incarnate +6 - if you have Destiny or Lore + Well Drinker or Incarnate +7 - if you have Destiny + Well Drinker or Incarnate You can still use /setdifficultylevel 7 to ignore those checks, but don't say we didn't warn you! Enemy groups that spawned at Level 54 have had their level range extended up to Level 55. Mission modifiers can sometimes swing this to spawn to +1s! Incarnate enemy groups (higher base ToHit%) have had their level range extended up to Level 60.

New Story Arcs Death Resurrected - Wylie Galloway (Level 40-50) (Focused Feedback) "Wylie Galloway is an eccentric archivist for the Midnighters who is highly concerned about the numerous relics being traded throughout Kallisti Wharf. When he sends you to break up a Warriors relic auction, you discover the Skulls are strangely invested in buying magical weapons. Why are the Skulls so interested in these artifacts, when before they never seemed to have much to do with the trade? And how did the Skulls gain so much power in the first place?" CONTACT: Wylie Galloway /thumbtack 3564 84 3295 LOCATION: Kallisti Wharf ALIGNMENT / LEVEL: Hero, Level 40-50 New Labyrinth of Fog Expansion (Focused Feedback) General Every Level Shift at +10 refreshes the decay timer back to the full 5 minutes. This means filling the bar at max level resets the timer. The Benefactor in the Fog has become much more chatty recently, and has a number of new dialog options for those who have reached him inside the mysterious True Core of the Labyrinth. Many strange masses of foggy growths have begun to appear in the zone, they writhe with a supernatural malevolence and possess the ability to infect and corrupt the Labyrinth's phantoms. Gladiators in the Fog can now spawn corrupted 25% of the time, come at Level 55, and will attack on approach with a new powers. Giant Monsters that spawn in this zone are now using more Fog-corrupted visuals and unique names. All zone Giant Monsters now spawn with an internal Level of 54, equalizing their health pools. Example: Kronos Titan will no longer take more time to kill than Jack In Irons. Giant Monsters that spawn in this zone no longer drop their specific individual monster badges in order to promote more diversity without sacrificing other content offerings. On Orange floors, new Fog Arch-villains now appear (3 always spawned concurrently in the zone at any given time). When one is defeated, another spawns instantly somewhere else. These AVs have more health than normal, but standard regen. They spawn at Level 55, and scale to higher HP when more than 8 players are present. They scale with the Labyrinth Shifts of the zone. Defeating one of these AVs grants 2 Labyrinth Shifts to the zone meter. These AVs can be one of over 70+ different recognizable signature characters! Each AV drops 1 Unstable Aether and 2 Reward Merits per defeat. (Not zone-wide, players must hit the AV once for credit.) When the Minotaur In The Fog is currently dead, all critters on floors other than Orange despawn to off-load zone critter logic stress to improve performance during raids. The main door inside the zone has been converted into the Phantom Gateway, a monorail-style door with multiple destinations, depending on what's available to you: Midnighter's Club Labyrinth of Fog - Lobby (Requires being Level 45+ to enter the zone) Labyrinth of Fog - Core (Requires the 'Slayer of the Minotaur' defeat badge. No longer requires 'Conqueror of the Labyrinth' badge.) Labyrinth of Fog - Colonnade (Requires the 'Hidden In The Fog' exploration badge.) Labyrinth of Fog - Font; Will show locked if the Minotaur is alive. (Requires owning the Mini Avatar of Achlys vanity pet.) Labyrinth of Fog - Origin (Requires the new 'Lucid Dreamer' exploration badge.) The 'Conqueror of the Labyrinth' accolade badge no longer grants a teleport power. Instead it now grants a Labyrinth content exclusive accolade buff power that grants +MaxHP and +MaxEnd, and is seen on your tray when in the zone: Essentially a second copy of Portal Jockey to buff your stats even higher while in the Labyrinth! Return From Fog is now available from everywhere in the zone. Core of the Labyrinth The Core of the Labyrinth is now a low-gravity area to make traversal possible without travel powers. The Core of the Labyrinth area is now excluded from the zone-in safety check that moves you to the Lobby, meaning you can safely log out in there and not be moved upon logging back in. This is to ensure players can run the new repeat mission content without issue. Visuals on the core have received polish such as lighting on torches and additional detail work. The Violet Portal has been moved to the back and a new Chromatic Portal has taken its place. A new trainer NPC has been added to the area: Warmaster Pentalabyrs /thumbtack 558 10 2639 Does not provide tailoring services. Added an infinitely-respawning NPC who servers the purpose of a pylon DPS test and will report defeat times. A new shop NPC has been added to the area: Dealer of Death /thumbtack 446 -254 2441 Provides START vendor services. Sells inspirations out of a coffin. Can sell items to them to open inventory space. Has a special shop that exchanges goods for a new currency A new repeat mission NPC has been added: The Watcher, Teleute /thumbtack 412 -205 2783 Is added to your contacts upon first interaction and can be called at any time after. Located near where the Violet portal used to be. Offers repeat missions that scale on difficulty and feature Rank-shifted enemies. Font of Malevolence Raid Rewrote how the Mythic Fog anchors are handled, now spawned and despawned by Lua, off-loading power system stress to hopefully improve zone performance during raids. The weighting on the Font's Giant Monster spawn chances has been standardized. The following have been added to the possible spawn pool, bringing the total GMs found up to 9: P.E.A.C.E. Keeper Kraken Psychic Babbage Eochai At 1000 total points a foggy version of Lusca and eight tentacles will spawn. All the tentacles must be defeated before the head can be damaged. Defeating the new fog Lusca grants a bonus 1000 points to the score counter. New Labyrinth Currency - Nightmare Obols Nightmare Obol: New currency exclusive to Labyrinth activities that serves a purpose analogous to Vanguard Merits. The currency drops from the following at these specific amounts: Defeating a Gladiator In The Fog -> 1 Obol Defeating a Corrupted Gladiator In The Fog -> 2 Obols Defeating a Fog Arch-villain -> 3 Obols Defeating a Labyrinth Guardian > 3 Obols Defeating a Corrupted Labyrinth Guardian -> 4 Obols Defeating a Fog Giant Monster -> 5 Obols Completing a Trial of Combat mission (R/B/G/Y) -> 10 Obols Defeating the Minotaur in the Fog / Avatar of Achlys -> 10 Obols Completing a Trial of Combat mission (V/O) -> 15 Obols Completing a Trial of Combat mission (W) -> 25 Obols These are then spent in a shop offered by the Dealer of Death from his ship in the Core of the Labyrinth to purchase the following items: Gladiator Mote Attunement: 1 Obol (Requires the Costume: Gladiator In the Fog power. Lasts until you leave the zone.) Draught of Fog: Inspirations in bulk for 2 Obols each. Convert to Reward Merits: 50 Obols -> 5 Reward Merits. Phantom Costume Parts: 10 Obols each, 19 costume pieces total. Oathsworn Gladiator: 1 summon charge for 200 Obols, 5 charges max (Labyrinth of Fog zone only.) Pull Through Fog: 5 uses of an Auto-hit Fold Space-like power for 100 Obols, 50 charges max. (Labyrinth of Fog zone and missions only.) Shroud of Shadows: 30 minutes of Stealth toggle for 5 Obols, 5 hour charge max. (Labyrinth of Fog zone and missions only.) Soulbound Armor: 30 minutes of +Def(Negative) and +Res(Negative) toggle for 20 Obols, 5 hour charge max. (Labyrinth of Fog zone and missions only.) Pet: Mini Dealer of Death: Vanity pet reward for 10,000 Obols. New Labyrinth Repeat Missions - Tests of Combat New infinitely repeatable missions are offered by the new NPC added to the Core of the Labyrinth: The Watcher, Teleute Once spoken to, is added to the player's contact list and can receive missions from them via call button. Offers two missions, one from the Red/Blue/Yellow/Green pool, and the other from the Orange/Violet/White pool. Each colored Test of Combat corresponds to enemies found on the various Labyrinth floors, and you'll encounter the same color-grouped enemies mixed together with Rank-shifts when playing these missions. These Test of Combat missions respect players difficulty settings and will spawn at the size and level of the team leader. At the end of each Test of Combat mission is one of the Four Generals of Achlys who serve as the mission's boss. These spawn at Arch-villain rank, but can be lowered to Elite Boss via difficulty settings. All of these missions use the new Phantom Gateway transit door found throughout the Labyrinth of Fog zone. Meant as a means to farm Nightmare Obols that doesn't involve raiding and to be an alternative repeat content offering. Test of Apathy offered by The Watcher, Teleute in the Core of the Labyrinth. Is added to the bottom rotation of Tests offered once the player owns the new 'Tested By Combat' badge for completing the first six Test types. Can be on any of the maps seen in all Tests of Combat. This mission sees you fight all four Generals of Achlys at the same time. (They should respect difficulty settings.) All enemies in the mission are Rank-Shifted to Boss or Elite Boss rank. Gladiators In The Fog spawn at x8 Difficulty. These count for the badge/vanity pet, drop 1 Obol per player, and a Drought of Fog Inspiration. Completing this mission awards the new 'Chromatic Combatant' badge. Rewards 25 Obols for completion. Adjustments Players cannot Follow Through Fog to targets who are in darkness. Escape From Fog power cannot be activated if you're already in the Entrance. Tasks General - Ouroboros All Incarnate missions (that allow +3 Incarnate Shifts) are now in their own bucket in Ouroboros. General - Task Forces In all Task Force mission content, all enemies will respect the difficulty setting, no longer occasionally spawning +1's from room to room. General - Advanced Mode Standardized the rank names of the super AVs found in Advanced Mode and their reward payout amounts: Monster -> Monstrosity Arch-Villain -> Super Villain Hero -> Super Hero This visual change impacts the following AVs on Advanced Mode: Emperor Requiem (Aeon Strike Force) Terra, The All-Mother (Aeon Strike Force) Hero 1 (Aeon Strike Force) Ripplesurge (Aeon Strike Force) King Midas (Aeon Strike Force) Emperor Romulus Augustus (Imperious Task Force) Clockwork King (Lady Grey Task Force) Delta K'ong (Lady Grey Task Force) Omega K'ong (Lady Grey Task Force) Hro'Dohtz (Lady Grey Task Force) Flashfreeze (Zoe Task Force) Golden Roller (Zoe Task Force) Ye'ti (Zoe Task Force) Paragon Subjugator 'Enlightenment' (Zoe Task Force) Nemesis (Zoe Task Force) Lady Grey's Task Force - Advanced Mode Removed the check on the final mission that was misbehaving and removing the Hamidon Essence power.

Powers New Melee Set (Focused Feedback) Sonic Melee New Melee Set for Brutes, Tankers, Scrappers and Stalkers Sonic Melee lets you use the power of sound waves to damage your foes with devastating close range sonic attacks that can inflict Migraines, debuffing their resistance to multiple debuffs, and holding foes for a short hold. This can be dramatically increased by using Sound Booster. With the ability to Attune your frequency to your target's, your single target attacks can trigger powerful reverberating damage over time, helping you quickly bring enemies to their knees. Sonic Thrust - Melee, DMG(Energy/Smash), Foe Knockdown, -Res(Debuffs) A focused attack of intense sonic power with high chance to violently knock a nearby foe off their feet. Deals minimal damage, but can be very effective. If used in conjunction with Attune, you will match your frequency with the target's resonance increasing Attunes damage over time. This power's highlight icon indicates the last application of it's effects is about to expire or has expired. Strident Echo - Melee, DMG(Energy/Smash), Foe -Res(Debuffs), Chance for Hold Strident Echo deals minor damage over time. It has a low chance of causing a migraine, leaving the target shaking in pain and helpless. If used in conjunction with Attune, you will match your frequency with the target's resonance increasing Attunes damage over time. This power's highlight icon indicates the last application of it's effects is about to expire or has expired. Attune - Melee Toggle, DMG(Energy), +Special A high-intensity sound wave that matches the resonant frequency of your target. This power does not inflict much damage but can be sustained for continued damage over time that will be boosted if you strike the target with Sonic Thrust or Strident Echo. Each of these attacks will further increase the strength of the damage over time. Sound Booster [Tanker/Brute/Scrapper only] - Self +DMG, +To Hit, +Special Greatly boosts your attacks for a few seconds. Slightly increases chance to hit. Moderately increases the duration of mez effects. Moderately increases the chance for Sound Manipulation powers to induce migraines. Build Up [Stalker only] - Self +DMG, +To Hit Greatly increases the amount of damage you deal for a few seconds, as well as slightly increasing your chance to hit. Sonic Clap - Melee (Cone), DMG(Energy), Foe Disorient, Knockdown You generate a powerful sonic wave that damage foes in front of you with a decent chance to stun and knock them down.

Over twenty (21) new Badges! Many bug fixes! ...and much, much more! CURRENT KNOWN ISSUES Marquee Features Kallisti Wharf Zone Comes To Life! Kallisti Wharf has been given a substantial amount of work to bring the zone to life/parity with other city zones! At last! Kallisti Wharf is a fully realized zone! Zone Improvements As stated on the tram/submarine destination, Kallisti Wharf is a Level 40-50 co-op zone. Kallisti Wharf now has eight standard exploration badges and an accolade, same as other zones. New Tour Guides are available to help people locate all the new badges! Many areas of the zone were given expansive polish passes and detail work. All neighborhoods given music. No more silence! The zone is using a mix of new Homecoming-original compositions, a few previously unused tracks, and a couple of favorite older classics! Numerous extra Day Job locations added to the zone: Blackwing Headquarters: Law Enforcer / Dirty Cop Crey Towers: Crey Employee / Crey Test Subject Wentworths: Day Trader / Marketeer Vanguard Outpost: Vanguard Recruit Enemies Encountered Added ambient atmospheric/combat spawns to the entirety of the zone. The following are the main enemy groups found in Kallisti Wharf: Blackwing Industries [NEW] Freaklok Crey Freakshow Warriors Skulls The Awakened Unified People's Army (UPA) Wyvern Watch out, the Freaklok are out in force! Giant Monster Event New Giant Monster spawn, the P.E.A.C.E. Keeper, has been added to the zone. They are spawned manually by defeating 200 points worth of Blackwing Industries enemies in the zone. Minions = 1 point; Lieutenant = 2 points; Boss = 3 points; Elite Boss = 4 points. The P.E.A.C.E. Keeper will spawn in One Statesman Plaza and fly a patrol around the outside of the tower in the center of the zone; If not engaged in fighting, they should default back to patrolling the tower. Only one P.E.A.C.E. Keeper can be spawned at any moment. Drops six (6) Reward Merits, two (2) Monstrous Aether on defeat, and a low chance (10%) for Pet: Mini P.E.A.C.E. Keeper invention recipe.

Kallisti Wharf Office Maps All existing Kallisti Wharf Office maps in AE have been moved to a new category: 'Kallisti Wharf Office (Legacy)'. These older maps are overly-populated, but we can't remove them due to their usage in existing AE arcs, so these maps will be labeled seperately instead. The new correctly-populated maps and new layouts used in Kallisti Wharf are now found in AE under 'Kallisti Wharf Office'. These mission map tileset pieces have had an extensive decoration pass on all rooms which will automatically apply to existing AE arcs using these maps.

Inspirations Corrected the description in Greater Protection Imbuement and Superior Protection Imbuement to no longer claim they last 3 minutes. LFG Fixed incorrect merit payout award listed in Katie Hannon's Task Force in the LFG tab. Fixed inaccurate level ranges displayed on Summer Blockbuster, Kane's House of Horror, and SSA 1.1.

Ambushes will now spawn using the player level, capped to the level range of the zone. Ambushes have a 50% chance of being an enemy group that the player needs for badge credit. Decreased ambush chance from 75% to 65%. Ambushes only reward the player with one Anniversary Merit. Temporary Powers, Inspirations, Pet Summons and Minipet rewards can only drop from capsules without an ambush.

Kallisti Wharf Office Maps All existing Kallisti Wharf Office maps in AE have been moved to a new category: 'Kallisti Wharf Office (Legacy)'. These older maps are overly-populated, but we can't remove them due to their usage in existing AE arcs, so these maps will be labeled seperately instead. The new correctly-populated maps and new layouts used in Kallisti Wharf are now found in AE under 'Kallisti Wharf Office'. These mission map tileset pieces have had an extensive decoration pass on all rooms which will automatically apply to existing AE arcs using these maps.

Inspirations Corrected the description in Greater Protection Imbuement and Superior Protection Imbuement to no longer claim they last 3 minutes. LFG Fixed incorrect merit payout award listed in Katie Hannon's Task Force in the LFG tab. Fixed inaccurate level ranges displayed on Summer Blockbuster, Kane's House of Horror, and SSA 1.1. Anniversary Event Event script has been rewritten in Lua and the legacy script discontinued. Automatically starts on April 28th and ends on June 1st. Ambushes will now spawn using the player level, capped to the level range of the zone. Ambushes have a 50% chance of being an enemy group that the player needs for badge credit. Decreased ambush chance from 75% to 65%. Ambushes only reward the player with one Anniversary Merit.

Kallisti Wharf Office Maps All existing Kallisti Wharf Office maps in AE have been moved to a new category: 'Kallisti Wharf Office (Legacy)'. These older maps are overly-populated, but we can't remove them due to their usage in existing AE arcs, so these maps will be labeled seperately instead. The new correctly-populated maps and new layouts used in Kallisti Wharf are now found in AE under 'Kallisti Wharf Office'. Fixed some of these maps having incorrect Front/Middle/Back positions. These mission map tileset pieces have had an extensive decoration pass on all rooms which will automatically apply to existing AE arcs using these maps.

Miscellaneous The villain Level 10 level-up trainer dialog now mentions the SG Registrar found in Mercy Island. Fixed the respec counter from becoming negative when a character earns 128+ respecs. Switching alignments will no longer remove the Event Messages channel for that alignment. It will still add the new one. For example, if you're a villain and switch to hero, the Hero Zone Event Messages channel will be added to whichever tab contains Villain Zone Event Messages, but Villain Zone Event Messages will be retained unless manually removed. Inspirations Corrected the description in Greater Protection Imbuement and Superior Protection Imbuement to no longer claim they last 3 minutes. LFG Fixed incorrect merit payout award listed in Katie Hannon's Task Force in the LFG tab. Fixed inaccurate level ranges displayed on Summer Blockbuster, Kane's House of Horror, and SSA 1.1. Anniversary Event Event script has been rewritten in Lua and the legacy script discontinued. Automatically starts on April 28th and ends on June 1st. Ambushes will now spawn using the player level, capped to the level range of the zone. Ambushes have a 50% chance of being an enemy group that the player needs for badge credit. Decreased ambush chance from 75% to 65%. Ambushes only reward the player with one Anniversary Merit. Temporary Powers, Inspirations, Pet Summons and Minipet rewards can only drop from capsules without an ambush. Fixed two glowie spawn points in Brickstown that were floating above the ground and not working correctly.

This allows for sleep to be stacked even if the sleep-casting power does damage, and sleep stacks that don't render the target asleep won't vanish if the target is hurt but awake. Deep Sleep This is a new variant of sleep. Deep Sleep is stickier than regular sleep. Enemies under its effect don't instantly wake up if damaged, instead the duration of their sleep is shortened. How much the sleep is shortened depends on the enemy rank, with minions taking more attacks to wake up and AVs being woken up by a single hit. The following powers have been flagged as Deep Sleep: Arsenal Control > Tranquilizer Earth Control > Salt Crystals Ice Control > Flash Freeze Mind Control > Mesmerize Mind Control > Mass Hypnosis Plant Control > Spore Burst Pyrotechnic Control > Hypnotizing Lights Symphony Control > Enfeebling Lullaby Misc Changes There has been an implementation change to critter tables and their maximum levels.

Null the Gull no longer shows progress towards Dimensional Warder, since the City Badge Tracker "Progress" page has that info.

Wyvern The new high level versions found in Kallisti Wharf are now available to be used in Architect Entertainment content. Kallisti Wharf Office Maps All existing Kallisti Wharf Office maps in AE have been moved to a new category: 'Kallisti Wharf Office (Legacy)'. These older maps are overly-populated, but we can't remove them due to their usage in existing AE arcs, so these maps will be labeled seperately instead. The new correctly-populated maps and new layouts used in Kallisti Wharf are now found in AE under 'Kallisti Wharf Office'. These mission map tileset pieces have had an extensive decoration pass on all rooms which will automatically apply to existing AE arcs using these maps. New Mission Map Unique > Rikti War Zone > Rikti Space Station: New map added. Comes with baked-in map-defined Rikti turrets and generators and low gravity. Miscellaneous The villain Level 10 level-up trainer dialog now mentions the SG Registrar found in Mercy Island. Fixed the respec counter from becoming negative when a character earns 128+ respecs. Switching alignments will no longer remove the Event Messages channel for that alignment. It will still add the new one. For example, if you're a villain and switch to hero, the Hero Zone Event Messages channel will be added to whichever tab contains Villain Zone Event Messages, but Villain Zone Event Messages will be retained unless manually removed. Inspirations Corrected the description in Greater Protection Imbuement and Superior Protection Imbuement to no longer claim they last 3 minutes. LFG Fixed incorrect merit payout award listed in Katie Hannon's Task Force in the LFG tab. Fixed inaccurate level ranges displayed on Summer Blockbuster, Kane's House of Horror, and SSA 1.1. Anniversary Event Event script has been rewritten in Lua and the legacy script discontinued. Automatically starts on April 28th and ends on June 1st. Ambushes will now spawn using the player level, capped to the level range of the zone. Ambushes have a 50% chance of being an enemy group that the player needs for badge credit. Decreased ambush chance from 75% to 65%. Ambushes only reward the player with one Anniversary Merit. Temporary Powers, Inspirations, Pet Summons and Minipet rewards can only drop from capsules without an ambush. Fixed two glowie spawn points in Brickstown that were floating above the ground and not working correctly.

This allows for sleep to be stacked even if the sleep-casting power does damage, and sleep stacks that don't render the target asleep won't vanish if the target is hurt but awake. Deep Sleep This is a new variant of sleep. Deep Sleep is stickier than regular sleep. Enemies under its effect don't instantly wake up if damaged, instead the duration of their sleep is shortened.

The following powers have been flagged as Deep Sleep: Arsenal Control > Tranquilizer Earth Control > Salt Crystals Ice Control > Flash Freeze Mind Control > Mesmerize Mind Control > Mass Hypnosis Plant Control > Spore Burst Pyrotechnic Control > Hypnotizing Lights Symphony Control > Enfeebling Lullaby Epic > Arsenal Mastery > Sleep Grenade Epic > Earth Mastery > Salt Crystals Epic > Ice Mastery > Flash Freeze Epic > Psionic Mastery > Mass Hypnosis Epic > Psionic Mastery > Mesmerize Misc Changes There has been an implementation change to critter tables and their maximum levels.

(Beyond Reasonable Doubt -> Helping Hand). City Badge Tracker [Focused Feedback] Added a City Badge Tracker kiosk to Pocket D at [-234.2 0.0 -908.8]. This kiosk will display the badges that you're missing, and a Leaderboard with every character who entered Pocket D since the last mapserver reset. There is no persistent storage at the moment, and it might not be possible. The player with the most badges will be displayed as a "hologram" next to the City Badge Tracker kiosk. Clicking on this NPC will display their character information and badge progress. In the event of a tie, the character who last clicked the City Badge Tracker kiosk (not the NPC!) will be displayed, and there's a 60-second cooldown between switches to avoid spamming back and forth. City Badge Tracker also displays progress towards Bicentennial, Dimensional Warder, River Rat and Dreamwalker/Dreamkiller. Null the Gull no longer shows progress towards Dimensional Warder, since the City Badge Tracker "Progress" page has that info.

Wyvern The new high level versions found in Kallisti Wharf are now available to be used in Architect Entertainment content. Kallisti Wharf Office Maps All existing Kallisti Wharf Office maps in AE have been moved to a new category: 'Kallisti Wharf Office (Legacy)'. These older maps are overly-populated, but we can't remove them due to their usage in existing AE arcs, so these maps will be labeled seperately instead. The new correctly-populated maps and new layouts used in Kallisti Wharf are now found in AE under 'Kallisti Wharf Office'. These mission map tileset pieces have had an extensive decoration pass on all rooms which will automatically apply to existing AE arcs using these maps. New Mission Map Unique > Rikti War Zone > Rikti Space Station: New map added. Comes with baked-in map-defined Rikti turrets and generators and low gravity. Removed the one-way generator door fields, as they could result in a potential softlock. Miscellaneous The villain Level 10 level-up trainer dialog now mentions the SG Registrar found in Mercy Island. Fixed the respec counter from becoming negative when a character earns 128+ respecs. Switching alignments will no longer remove the Event Messages channel for that alignment. It will still add the new one. For example, if you're a villain and switch to hero, the Hero Zone Event Messages channel will be added to whichever tab contains Villain Zone Event Messages, but Villain Zone Event Messages will be retained unless manually removed. Inspirations Corrected the description in Greater Protection Imbuement and Superior Protection Imbuement to no longer claim they last 3 minutes. LFG Fixed incorrect merit payout award listed in Katie Hannon's Task Force in the LFG tab. Fixed inaccurate level ranges displayed on Summer Blockbuster, Kane's House of Horror, and SSA 1.1. Anniversary Event Event script has been rewritten in Lua and the legacy script discontinued. Automatically starts on April 28th and ends on June 1st. Ambushes will now spawn using the player level, capped to the level range of the zone. Ambushes have a 50% chance of being an enemy group that the player needs for badge credit. Decreased ambush chance from 75% to 65%. Ambushes only reward the player with one Anniversary Merit. Temporary Powers, Inspirations, Pet Summons and Minipet rewards can only drop from capsules without an ambush. Fixed two glowie spawn points in Brickstown that were floating above the ground and not working correctly.

This allows for sleep to be stacked even if the sleep-casting power does damage, and sleep stacks that don't render the target asleep won't vanish if the target is hurt but awake. Deep Sleep This is a new variant of sleep. Deep Sleep is stickier than regular sleep. Enemies under its effect don't instantly wake up if damaged, instead the duration of their sleep is shortened. How much the sleep is shortened depends on the enemy rank, with minions taking more attacks to wake up and AVs being woken up by a single hit. Notes sections of all Deep Sleep powers have been updated for accuracy. The following powers have been flagged as Deep Sleep: Arsenal Control > Tranquilizer Earth Control > Salt Crystals Ice Control > Flash Freeze Mind Control > Mesmerize Mind Control > Mass Hypnosis Plant Control > Spore Burst Pyrotechnic Control > Hypnotizing Lights Symphony Control > Enfeebling Lullaby Epic > Arsenal Mastery > Sleep Grenade Epic > Earth Mastery > Salt Crystals Epic > Ice Mastery > Flash Freeze Epic > Psionic Mastery > Mass Hypnosis Epic > Psionic Mastery > Mesmerize Misc Changes There has been an implementation change to critter tables and their maximum levels. This does not change critter maximum level directly, but it gives designers the ability to expand in the future Critters Only: All -regen debufs (not flagged to be irresistible) should now be resisted by magnitude, not duration. Reduced the magnitude of many (not all) low recharge -regen debuffs with magnitudes greater than -100%. All critters now regenerate health 5% of their health every 12 seconds (does not include GMs or AVs) This change will be revisited in a future patch; The scope of the change exceeded our expectations for Page 2. Archetype Inherent Changes [Focused Feedback] Controllers Controllers inherent now allows them to command their Tier 9 pets. Containment now also triggers on critters that are Terrified. Containment now also triggers on critters that have been asleep in the last 3 seconds. Containment damage now has an additional "Containment" float message across all sets.

Kallisti Wharf Office Maps All existing Kallisti Wharf Office maps in AE have been moved to a new category: 'Kallisti Wharf Office (Legacy)'. These older maps are overly-populated, but we can't remove them due to their usage in existing AE arcs, so these maps will be labeled seperately instead. The new correctly-populated maps and new layouts used in Kallisti Wharf are now found in AE under 'Kallisti Wharf Office'. These mission map tileset pieces have had an extensive decoration pass on all rooms which will automatically apply to existing AE arcs using these maps.

Inspirations Corrected the description in Greater Protection Imbuement and Superior Protection Imbuement to no longer claim they last 3 minutes. LFG Fixed incorrect merit payout award listed in Katie Hannon's Task Force in the LFG tab. Fixed inaccurate level ranges displayed on Summer Blockbuster, Kane's House of Horror, and SSA 1.1. Anniversary Event Event script has been rewritten in Lua and the legacy script discontinued. Automatically starts on April 28th and ends on June 1st. Ambushes will now spawn using the player level, capped to the level range of the zone. Ambushes have a 50% chance of being an enemy group that the player needs for badge credit. Decreased ambush chance from 75% to 65%. Ambushes only reward the player with one Anniversary Merit. Temporary Powers, Inspirations, Pet Summons and Minipet rewards can only drop from capsules without an ambush. Fixed two glowie spawn points in Brickstown that were floating above the ground and not working correctly.

City Badge Tracker [Focused Feedback] Added a City Badge Tracker kiosk to Pocket D at [-234.2 0.0 -908.8]. This kiosk will display the badges that you're missing, and a Leaderboard with every character who entered Pocket D since the last mapserver reset. There is no persistent storage at the moment, and it might not be possible. The player with the most badges will be displayed as a "hologram" next to the City Badge Tracker kiosk. Clicking on this NPC will display their character information and badge progress. In the event of a tie, the character who last clicked the City Badge Tracker kiosk (not the NPC!) will be displayed, and there's a 60-second cooldown between switches to avoid spamming back and forth. City Badge Tracker also displays progress towards Bicentennial, Dimensional Warder, River Rat and Dreamwalker/Dreamkiller. Null the Gull no longer shows progress towards Dimensional Warder, since the City Badge Tracker "Progress" page has that info.

City Badge Tracker [Focused Feedback] Added a City Badge Tracker kiosk to Pocket D at [-234.2 0.0 -908.8]. This kiosk will display the badges that you're missing, and a Leaderboard with every character who entered Pocket D since the last mapserver reset. There is no persistent storage at the moment, and it might not be possible. The player with the most badges will be displayed as a "hologram" next to the City Badge Tracker kiosk. Clicking on this NPC will display their character information and badge progress. In the event of a tie, the character who last clicked the City Badge Tracker kiosk (not the NPC!) will be displayed, and there's a 60-second cooldown between switches to avoid spamming back and forth. City Badge Tracker also displays progress towards Bicentennial, Dimensional Warder, River Rat and Dreamwalker/Dreamkiller. Null the Gull no longer shows progress towards Dimensional Warder, since the City Badge Tracker "Progress" page has that info. Zones [Focused Feedback] Contacts Tasks [Focused Feedback] Mission Maps [Focused Feedback] Enemies [Focused Feedback] Architect Entertainment [Focused Feedback] Blackwing Industries This group is now available to be used in Architect Entertainment content. Freaklok This group is now available to be used in Architect Entertainment content. Kallisti Wharf Office Maps These mission map tileset pieces have had an extensive decoration pass on all rooms which will automatically apply to existing AE arcs using these maps. Spawn density and all other map specifics are unchanged for the AE versions of these maps. Miscellaneous Fixed the respec counter from becoming negative when a character earns 128+ respecs. Switching alignments will no longer remove the Event Messages channel for that alignment. It will still add the new one. For example, if you're a villain and switch to hero, the Hero Zone Event Messages channel will be added to whichever tab contains Villain Zone Event Messages, but Villain Zone Event Messages will be retained unless manually removed. Inspirations Corrected the description in Greater Protection Imbuement and Superior Protection Imbuement to no longer claim they last 3 minutes. LFG Fixed incorrect merit payout award listed in Katie Hannon's Task Force in the LFG tab. Fixed inaccurate level ranges displayed on Summer Blockbuster, Kane's House of Horror, and SSA 1.1. Anniversary Event Event script has been rewritten in Lua and the legacy script discontinued. Automatically starts on April 28th and ends on June 1st. Ambushes will now spawn using the player level, capped to the level range of the zone. Ambushes have a 50% chance of being an enemy group that the player needs for badge credit. Decreased ambush chance from 75% to 65%. Ambushes only reward the player with one Anniversary Merit. Temporary Powers, Inspirations, Pet Summons and Minipet rewards can only drop from capsules without an ambush. Fixed two glowie spawn points in Brickstown that were floating above the ground and not working correctly.
