Holstered Weapon System Holstered Custom Weapons (Arachnos/Assault/Munition/Mercenary Mastermind Rifles) Characters with Arachnos, Assault, Munitions, or Mercenary Mastermind custom rifles now have access to the option to display their character's rifle model on their costume. This is controlled via a toggle button next to the weapon just like Sheathed Custom Weapons. The remaining ranged weapon sets will be added to the Holstered Weapon system in a future update. Custom Weapon Adjustments & Fixes Arachnos Rifles renamed from "A", "B", "C" to "Rifle", "SMG", and "Shotgun" to better describe what they look like. Fixed issue where Mercenary Mastermind Rifles were missed for the firing point desync fixes.

This version does not have the Tombstone power. Instead it is replaced with Gravestone. You can manipulate earth and stone to defeat your foes. The crushing force of many Earth Powers can reduce a target's Defense. Being of the Earth, you are the most powerful while on the ground. While grounded, your attacks increase Seismic Pressure. As your Seismic Pressure increases, the cooldown of other Seismic Blast attacks is reduced and your chances of triggering Seismic Shockwaves around you also increase. These Seismic Shockwaves will have a chance of knocking back foes and, while standing on the ground, empower some of your attacks. Rock Shards will have its area and damage increased. Seismic Force will decrease the cooldown of all recharging Seismic Blast attacks by a moderate amount. Stalagmite will deal a large amount of damage. Powers: Encase Ranged, DMG(Smash), Foe -Jump, -Fly, -DEF Encase a foe in stone for a short moment, dealing damage and lowering their defense. They will also become heavy, limiting their ability to jump and fly for a short time. Encase grants two stacks of Seismic Pressure. Shatter Ranged, DMG(Smash), Foe -Jump, -Fly, -DEF Cover a foe in stone shards and shatter them, inflicting light damage and lowering their defense. They will also become heavy, limiting their ability to jump and fly for a short time. Shatter grants two stacks of Seismic Pressure. Rock Shards Ranged Cone, DMG(Lethal), -Defense, Special You launch a volley of stone shards at your target in a sweeping cone. These shards stab into the target, causing lethal damage. They will also continue to suffer additional lethal damage over time. If affected by Seismic Shockwaves, this power will halt the shockwaves, the up front damage will be increased and damage over time accelerated, foes will be knocked down, range will be increased to 60ft and arc to 40 degrees. Rock Shards grants two stacks of Seismic Pressure. Entomb Ranged, DMG(Smash), Foe -Jump, -Fly, -DEF Entomb foes in a big boulder, dealing high damage and lowering their defense. They will also become heavy, limiting their ability to jump and fly for a short time. Entomb grants two stacks of Seismic Pressure. Seismic Force Self +To Hit, +DMG, +Range, +Special Greatly increases the chance to hit of your attacks for a few seconds. Slightly increases damage and range. If affected by Seismic Shockwaves, this power will halt the shockwaves and will decrease the cooldown of all recharging Seismic Blast attacks by a moderate amount. Upthrust Targeted AoE, DMG(Smashing), -Fly, -Defense, Chance to Knockdown You channel seismic energy into the earth, causing a micro-fault to erupt under your target. This causes a shard of rock to thrust upward out of the ground, dealing smashing damage and lowering their defense. Affected foes will become heavy, limiting their ability to jump and fly for a short time. The force of the eruption can knockback enemies. Upthrust grants two stacks of Seismic Pressure. Gravestone Ranged, DMG(Smash), Foe -Jump, -Fly Create a giant pillar of stone, creating a Gravestone around your target dealing extreme damage and limiting their ability to jump and fly for a short time. Gravestone grants two stacks of Seismic Pressure. Stalagmite Ranged, DMG(Smash), Foe Disorient, Special You can cause a Stalagmite to erupt under an enemy dealing minimal Lethal damage and Disorienting them for a good while. You must be on the ground to activate this power. If affected by Seismic Shockwaves, this power will halt the shockwaves and deal extreme damage. Stalagmite grants two stacks of Seismic Pressure. Meteor Ranged (Location AoE), DMG(Smashing) Foe Knockback You call down a meteor strike from the sky at a specified location. All targets within 30' are caught in the blast radius, taking extreme damage and being knocked back. Note: This power uses the knock vector system. You'll notice the foes will be knocked up and back. Sentinel Proliferation: Stone Armor [Focused Feedback: Sentinel Stone Armor] New secondary for Sentinels. This version of the set does not get access to Mud Pots. Instead, it has a new power called Terra Firma. You can transform your skin into various forms of rock and stone. Stone Armor is one of the few Sentinel Defensive Power Sets that offers defense to Psionics. Powers: Rock Armor Toggle: Self +DEF(Lethal, Smashing), Res(DeBuff DEF) Your skin becomes stone while this power is active. Stone Armor protects you from Smashing and Lethal attacks. They are less likely to land and affect you. Stone Armor also grants you resistance to Defense DeBuffs. Stone Skin Auto: Self +Res(All but Psionics), +DEF(All but Psionics) Your tough skin is naturally resistant to most types of damage. This power is always on and costs no Endurance. Earth's Embrace Self +HP, Res(Toxic) You are so connected to the Earth, you can draw upon its power to add to your health. Activating this power increases your maximum Hit Points, and grants you resistance to Toxic Damage. Terra Firma Auto: Self + To Hit, +ACC, +Range, Res(ToHit) Being on solid ground allows you to more carefully aim your attack for optimal range. This power increases your chance to hit, accuracy, and range of your attacks and makes you more resistant to To-Hit debuffs, but only applies when you are near the ground. Rooted Toggle: Self +Res(Knockback, Sleep, Disorient, Hold, End Drain, DeBuff DEF), +Regeneration While this power is active, you merge with the Earth and draw forth its power to become resistant to Knockback, Sleep, Hold, Disorient and Endurance Drain effects, and increase your Hit Point Regeneration rate. Rooted also grants you resistance to Defense DeBuffs. Crystal Armor Toggle: Self +Recovery, +DEF(Energy, Negative), Res(DeBuff DEF) While this power is active, your skin becomes encrusted in various quartz crystals. Crystal Armor makes Energy and Negative Energy attacks less likely to hit. This power also grants you an Endurance recovery buff and resistance to Defense DeBuffs. Crystal Armor also adds an Elusivity defense bonus to Energy and Negative Energy Attacks in PVP zones. Minerals Toggle: Self +Recharge, +DEF(Psionic), Res(Confuse), +Perception Activating this power summons several rare earth rock Minerals to orbit around you. These Minerals can disperse thought patterns and make Psionic attacks less likely to hit. They also bring clarity of the mind increasing the recharge time of your powers, increasing your perception, and making you resistant to Confusion. Brimstone Armor Toggle: Self +Res(Fire, Cold, Toxic), +Special While this power is active, your skin becomes encrusted in cracked magma. Brimstone Armor makes you highly resistant to Fire, Cold and Toxic damage, and helps your attacks set enemies on fire, delivering damage over time. Notes on the damage over time from Brimstone Proc: The DoT damage uses AT modifiers: Ranged_Damage for attacks with base ranges > 20 ft and Melee_Damage otherwise. The DoT damage is scaled based on the attack's cast time (scales between 0 and 3 seconds). This mostly ensures a constant DPS increase despite the speed of one's attacks. Geode Toggle: Self +Regeneration, +Recovery, Invulnerable; Self Hold When you activate this power, you encase yourself in various protective mineral layers that can absorb incoming damage while you heal and recover endurance at an incredible rate. You can emerge at will by deactivating the power, but you cannot stay in this Geode for more than 30 seconds. If enemies inflict enough damage, they might break you out of this effect. If Brimstone Armor is owned, this power will also grant Geothermal Power every 2 seconds, increasing the damage inflicted by Brimstone's Fire by 8% per stack. Note: The Geothermal Powers should last for 60s and can stack up to 15 times. This gives the Brimstone Proc damage a 2.2x boost at max strength. Dominator Proliferation: Illusion Control [Focused Feedback: Dominator Illusion Control] New primary for Dominators. This version of the set does not get access to Spectral Wounds nor Group Invisibility. Instead, it has new powers called Spectral Wall and Gleam. Also, Dominator's version of Phantom Army has its pets not taunt, but rather have attacks utilizing mez and soft control effects. You can manipulate light and sound to manifest all sorts of Illusions, aiding your allies as well as deceiving your foes. Powers: Blind Ranged (Targeted AoE), DMG(Psionic), Foe Hold/Sleep Painfully Blinds a single targeted foe so severely that they are rendered helpless. Blind is so bright that additional foes may also be blinded, though they will not take any damage, and attacking them will free them from the effects. Spectral Wall Ranged, DoT (Psionic), Foe Immobilize, -ToHit Creates an illusionary wall of specters that prevents enemies from moving. As the foe is surrounded, they take psionic damage over time. Deceive Ranged, Foe Confuse You can Deceive an enemy into believing their friends are not who they appear to be. If successful, the enemy will ignore you and attack their own allies. If you Deceive someone before they have noticed you, your presence will continue to be masked. You will not receive any Experience Points for foes defeated by a Deceived enemy. Spectral Terror Summon Terror: Ranged Fear, -ToHit You can create an illusion of unspeakable Terror. The manifestation is so horrible that it caused most foes to tremble helplessly in terror. The Spectral Terror may also Terrify individual foes, causing them to run away in panic. Superior Invisibility Toggle: Self Stealth, +DEF(All) You can bend light around yourself to become completely Invisible. While this power is active, you are all but impossible to detect, and have an extremely high Defense bonus to all attacks. Superior Invisibility is the only toggle invisibility power that allows you to attack while it is active, although you will lose some of your defense bonus if you do so. Gleam Ranged (Targeted AoE), DMG(Psionic), Foe Disorient Multiple flashing lights go off around enemies, disorienting and damaging them. Gleam deals minimal Psionic damage, and can Disorient all affected targets for a good while. Phantom Army Summon Decoys: Ranged DMG(Psionic) You can fabricate 3 Phantom heroes around a targeted foe. These Phantoms are not real, and are indestructible. Though they deal damage, it is illusory and will heal if the victim survives long enough. Phantoms are short lived and cannot be buffed or healed. Flash PBAoE, Foe Hold Generates a brilliant flash of light around you that blinds nearby foes. Flashed foes are rendered helpless and unable to defend themselves. Phantasm Summon Phantasm: Ranged, DMG(Smash/Energy/Psionic) You can construct a powerful entity composed of pure light. Although made of light, the Phantasm is tangible and has powerful Energy attacks. The Phantasm can also fly and summon duplicates of itself. The duplicates are intangible, and cannot be harmed. The duplicates' attacks deal illusory damage similar to that dealt by Spectral Wounds. Only the original Phantasm can be healed and buffed. Type ''/release_pets'' in the chat window to release all your pets. PvP in Supergroup Bases [Focused Feedback: PvP in Bases & New Arena Options] ( Big thanks to @CR Americas Angel for the guide / write-up! ) PvP raid functionality has been added to supergroup bases. This is not the same legacy base raiding that existed briefly back in Issue 6, but rather the ability to initiate PvP activities within supergroup bases. Below is a how-to guide for setting it up: To activate them you need to make a supergroup and make a base. Make sure you have "Begin Raid" enabled in the supergroup member permissions: Once you've done that, load into your base and press the raid button: Once you've done that, you can select from the following options: First pick the type of raid: Team Deathmatch = Win points by defeating players. Capture The Flag = Not active on Beta yet. Control Points = Not active on Beta yet. Then pick the settings: Free-For-All (FFA) = FFA, but you can team up with other players and they will con friendly. (Functions the same way the Warburg PVP zone works.) Defenders vs. Attackers = Supergroup members (and people they are teamed with) vs everyone else. Once you click "Begin Raid" a 30s countdown will begin: You can start hitting people from the 10 min mark. The timer box thing will also have a dynamic scorecard that updates as you play. The number of kills each player has scored is on the left hand side, and the highest possible score on the right hand side. (Set by whoever is currently leading the kill-count.) For Free-For-All: For Attackers vs. Defenders: After the raid is over, you'll get a scorecard that shows how many times you killed someone, how many times were killed, and the all-important kill/death ratio: Building for PvP in Bases Two new revive rings have been added to the base editor under Arcane Medical and Tech Medical settings: They allow you to set respawn points: Revive Rings (Raid) = Attackers in Attackers vs Defenders Revive Rings (Regular) = Defenders in Attackers vs. Defenders or Everyone in regular Free-For-All If no revive rings are placed, players will respawn at the base portal. Heroes and villains can now team in bases. When PvP is active in a base, the following commands are disabled: /stuck /enterbasefrompasscode /editbase /arenalist, using the LFG queue, and using the "teleport to contact" feature have not been disabled. (As these all still work in Arena/PvP zones just fine.) NPCs that sell inspirations should be disabled. (As in, you cannot have the store open during a raid.) All storage (enhancement bins, salvage bins, etc) except the Vault has been disabled. (As they allow players to force a mapserver in high item bases.) The Dimensional Shard and Base Portal have been tweaked a little to stop them from interfering with revive rings. I'd advise base builders to check that these items aren't misbehaving. (They seemed to work fine from all my testing.) Items that can be destroyed (turrets, etc) respawn when the base resets. A "base reset" is when the base has been empty for 15 minutes and the zone unloads. Vandalism to bases is not possible. Placed NPCs can be hit, but they are indestructible. This is working as intended.

This means your normal costume's body type must match the costume's in order for the weapon to display. The type that inherits is noted in the description. Costumes that are compatible have been noted in the BenevoLab vendor's offerings and in the costume power's descriptions. Look for these on the vendor if you're interested!

Upthrust Targeted AoE, DMG(Smashing), -Fly, -Defense, Chance to Knockdown You channel seismic energy into the earth, causing a micro-fault to erupt under your target. This causes a shard of rock to thrust upward out of the ground, dealing smashing damage and lowering their defense. Affected foes will become heavy, limiting their ability to jump and fly for a short time. The force of the eruption can knockback enemies. Upthrust grants two stacks of Seismic Pressure. Gravestone Ranged, DMG(Smash), Foe -Jump, -Fly Create a giant pillar of stone, creating a Gravestone around your target dealing extreme damage and limiting their ability to jump and fly for a short time.

Sentinel Proliferation: Stone Armor [Focused Feedback: Sentinel Stone Armor] New secondary for Sentinels. This version of the set does not get access to Mud Pots. Instead, it has a new power called Terra Firma. You can transform your skin into various forms of rock and stone. Stone Armor is one of the few Sentinel Defensive Power Sets that offers defense to Psionics. Powers: Rock Armor Toggle: Self +DEF(Lethal, Smashing), Res(DeBuff DEF) Your skin becomes stone while this power is active. Stone Armor protects you from Smashing and Lethal attacks. They are less likely to land and affect you. Stone Armor also grants you resistance to Defense DeBuffs. Stone Skin Auto: Self +Res(All but Psionics), +DEF(All but Psionics) Your tough skin is naturally resistant to most types of damage. This power is always on and costs no Endurance. Earth's Embrace Self +HP, Res(Toxic) You are so connected to the Earth, you can draw upon its power to add to your health. Activating this power increases your maximum Hit Points, and grants you resistance to Toxic Damage. Terra Firma Auto: Self + To Hit, +ACC, +Range, Res(ToHit) Being on solid ground allows you to more carefully aim your attack for optimal range. This power increases your chance to hit, accuracy, and range of your attacks and makes you more resistant to To-Hit debuffs, but only applies when you are near the ground. Rooted Toggle: Self +Res(Knockback, Sleep, Disorient, Hold, End Drain, DeBuff DEF), +Regeneration While this power is active, you merge with the Earth and draw forth its power to become resistant to Knockback, Sleep, Hold, Disorient and Endurance Drain effects, and increase your Hit Point Regeneration rate.

Minerals Toggle: Self +Recharge, +DEF(Psionic), Res(Confuse), +Perception Activating this power summons several rare earth rock Minerals to orbit around you. These Minerals can disperse thought patterns and make Psionic attacks less likely to hit. They also bring clarity of the mind increasing the recharge time of your powers, increasing your perception, and making you resistant to Confusion. Brimstone Armor Toggle: Self +Res(Fire, Cold, Toxic), +Special While this power is active, your skin becomes encrusted in cracked magma. Brimstone Armor makes you highly resistant to Fire, Cold and Toxic damage, and helps your attacks set enemies on fire, delivering damage over time. Notes on the damage over time from Brimstone Proc: The DoT damage uses AT modifiers: Ranged_Damage for attacks with base ranges > 20 ft and Melee_Damage otherwise. The DoT damage is scaled based on the attack's cast time (scales between 0 and 3 seconds). This mostly ensures a constant DPS increase despite the speed of one's attacks. Geode Toggle: Self +Regeneration, +Recovery, Invulnerable; Self Hold When you activate this power, you encase yourself in various protective mineral layers that can absorb incoming damage while you heal and recover endurance at an incredible rate. You can emerge at will by deactivating the power, but you cannot stay in this Geode for more than 30 seconds. If enemies inflict enough damage, they might break you out of this effect. If Brimstone Armor is owned, this power will also grant Geothermal Power every 2 seconds, increasing the damage inflicted by Brimstone's Fire by 8% per stack. Note: The Geothermal Powers should last for 60s and can stack up to 15 times. This gives the Brimstone Proc damage a 2.2x boost at max strength. Dominator Proliferation: Illusion Control [Focused Feedback: Dominator Illusion Control] New primary for Dominators.

You can manipulate light and sound to manifest all sorts of Illusions, aiding your allies as well as deceiving your foes. Powers: Blind Ranged (Targeted AoE), DMG(Psionic), Foe Hold/Sleep Painfully Blinds a single targeted foe so severely that they are rendered helpless. Blind is so bright that additional foes may also be blinded, though they will not take any damage, and attacking them will free them from the effects. Spectral Wall Ranged, DoT (Psionic), Foe Immobilize, -ToHit Creates an illusionary wall of specters that prevents enemies from moving. As the foe is surrounded, they take psionic damage over time. Deceive Ranged, Foe Confuse You can Deceive an enemy into believing their friends are not who they appear to be. If successful, the enemy will ignore you and attack their own allies. If you Deceive someone before they have noticed you, your presence will continue to be masked. You will not receive any Experience Points for foes defeated by a Deceived enemy. Spectral Terror Summon Terror: Ranged Fear, -ToHit You can create an illusion of unspeakable Terror. The manifestation is so horrible that it caused most foes to tremble helplessly in terror. The Spectral Terror may also Terrify individual foes, causing them to run away in panic. Superior Invisibility Toggle: Self Stealth, +DEF(All) You can bend light around yourself to become completely Invisible. While this power is active, you are all but impossible to detect, and have an extremely high Defense bonus to all attacks.

Gleam Ranged (Targeted AoE), DMG(Psionic), Foe Disorient Multiple flashing lights go off around enemies, disorienting and damaging them. Gleam deals minimal Psionic damage, and can Disorient all affected targets for a good while. Phantom Army Summon Decoys: Ranged DMG(Psionic) You can fabricate 3 Phantom heroes around a targeted foe.

Brimstone Armor makes you highly resistant to Fire, Cold and Toxic damage, and helps your attacks set enemies on fire, delivering damage over time. Notes on the damage over time from Brimstone Proc: The DoT damage uses AT modifiers: Ranged_Damage for attacks with base ranges > 20 ft and Melee_Damage otherwise. The DoT damage is scaled based on the attack's cast time (scales between 0 and 3 seconds). This mostly ensures a constant DPS increase despite the speed of one's attacks. Geode Toggle: Self +Regeneration, +Recovery, Invulnerable; Self Hold When you activate this power, you encase yourself in various protective mineral layers that can absorb incoming damage while you heal and recover endurance at an incredible rate. You can emerge at will by deactivating the power, but you cannot stay in this Geode for more than 30 seconds. If enemies inflict enough damage, they might break you out of this effect. If Brimstone Armor is owned, this power will also grant Geothermal Power every 2 seconds, increasing the damage inflicted by Brimstone's Fire by 8% per stack. Note: The Geothermal Powers should last for 60s and can stack up to 15 times. This gives the Brimstone Proc damage a 2.2x boost at max strength.

Gravestone Ranged, DMG(Smash), Foe -Jump, -Fly Create a giant pillar of stone, creating a Gravestone around your target dealing extreme damage and limiting their ability to jump and fly for a short time. Gravestone grants two stacks of Seismic Pressure.

Meteor Ranged (Location AoE), DMG(Smashing) Foe Knockback You call down a meteor strike from the sky at a specified location. All targets within 30' are caught in the blast radius, taking extreme damage and being knocked back. Note: This power uses the knock vector system. You'll notice the foes will be knocked up and back. Sentinel Proliferation: Stone Armor [Focused Feedback: Sentinel Stone Armor] New secondary for Sentinels. This version of the set does not get access to Mud Pots. Instead, it has a new power called Terra Firma. You can transform your skin into various forms of rock and stone. Stone Armor is one of the few Sentinel Defensive Power Sets that offers defense to Psionics. Powers: Rock Armor Toggle: Self +DEF(Lethal, Smashing), Res(DeBuff DEF) Your skin becomes stone while this power is active. Stone Armor protects you from Smashing and Lethal attacks. They are less likely to land and affect you. Stone Armor also grants you resistance to Defense DeBuffs. Stone Skin Auto: Self +Res(All but Psionics), +DEF(All but Psionics) Your tough skin is naturally resistant to most types of damage. This power is always on and costs no Endurance. Earth's Embrace Self +HP, Res(Toxic) You are so connected to the Earth, you can draw upon its power to add to your health. Activating this power increases your maximum Hit Points, and grants you resistance to Toxic Damage. Terra Firma Auto: Self + To Hit, +ACC, +Range, Res(ToHit) Being on solid ground allows you to more carefully aim your attack for optimal range. This power increases your chance to hit, accuracy, and range of your attacks and makes you more resistant to To-Hit debuffs, but only applies when you are near the ground. Rooted Toggle: Self +Res(Knockback, Sleep, Disorient, Hold, End Drain, DeBuff DEF), +Regeneration While this power is active, you merge with the Earth and draw forth its power to become resistant to Knockback, Sleep, Hold, Disorient and Endurance Drain effects, and increase your Hit Point Regeneration rate. Rooted also grants you resistance to Defense DeBuffs. Crystal Armor Toggle: Self +Recovery, +DEF(Energy, Negative), Res(DeBuff DEF) While this power is active, your skin becomes encrusted in various quartz crystals. Crystal Armor makes Energy and Negative Energy attacks less likely to hit. This power also grants you an Endurance recovery buff and resistance to Defense DeBuffs. Crystal Armor also adds an Elusivity defense bonus to Energy and Negative Energy Attacks in PVP zones. Minerals Toggle: Self +Recharge, +DEF(Psionic), Res(Confuse), +Perception Activating this power summons several rare earth rock Minerals to orbit around you. These Minerals can disperse thought patterns and make Psionic attacks less likely to hit. They also bring clarity of the mind increasing the recharge time of your powers, increasing your perception, and making you resistant to Confusion. Brimstone Armor Toggle: Self +Res(Fire, Cold, Toxic), +Special While this power is active, your skin becomes encrusted in cracked magma. Brimstone Armor makes you highly resistant to Fire, Cold and Toxic damage, and helps your attacks set enemies on fire, delivering damage over time. Notes on the damage over time from Brimstone Proc: The DoT damage uses AT modifiers: Ranged_Damage for attacks with base ranges > 20 ft and Melee_Damage otherwise. The DoT damage is scaled based on the attack's cast time (scales between 0 and 3 seconds). This mostly ensures a constant DPS increase despite the speed of one's attacks. Geode Toggle: Self +Regeneration, +Recovery, Invulnerable; Self Hold When you activate this power, you encase yourself in various protective mineral layers that can absorb incoming damage while you heal and recover endurance at an incredible rate. You can emerge at will by deactivating the power, but you cannot stay in this Geode for more than 30 seconds. If enemies inflict enough damage, they might break you out of this effect. If Brimstone Armor is owned, this power will also grant Geothermal Power every 2 seconds, increasing the damage inflicted by Brimstone's Fire by 8% per stack. Note: The Geothermal Powers should last for 60s and can stack up to 15 times. This gives the Brimstone Proc damage a 2.2x boost at max strength. Dominator Proliferation: Illusion Control [Focused Feedback: Dominator Illusion Control] New primary for Dominators. This version of the set does not get access to Spectral Wounds nor Group Invisibility. Instead, it has new powers called Spectral Wall and Gleam. Also, Dominator's version of Phantom Army has its pets not taunt, but rather have attacks utilizing mez and soft control effects. You can manipulate light and sound to manifest all sorts of Illusions, aiding your allies as well as deceiving your foes. Powers: Blind Ranged (Targeted AoE), DMG(Psionic), Foe Hold/Sleep Painfully Blinds a single targeted foe so severely that they are rendered helpless. Blind is so bright that additional foes may also be blinded, though they will not take any damage, and attacking them will free them from the effects. Spectral Wall Ranged, DoT (Psionic), Foe Immobilize, -ToHit Creates an illusionary wall of specters that prevents enemies from moving. As the foe is surrounded, they take psionic damage over time. Deceive Ranged, Foe Confuse You can Deceive an enemy into believing their friends are not who they appear to be. If successful, the enemy will ignore you and attack their own allies. If you Deceive someone before they have noticed you, your presence will continue to be masked. You will not receive any Experience Points for foes defeated by a Deceived enemy. Spectral Terror Summon Terror: Ranged Fear, -ToHit You can create an illusion of unspeakable Terror. The manifestation is so horrible that it caused most foes to tremble helplessly in terror. The Spectral Terror may also Terrify individual foes, causing them to run away in panic. Superior Invisibility Toggle: Self Stealth, +DEF(All) You can bend light around yourself to become completely Invisible. While this power is active, you are all but impossible to detect, and have an extremely high Defense bonus to all attacks. Superior Invisibility is the only toggle invisibility power that allows you to attack while it is active, although you will lose some of your defense bonus if you do so. Gleam Ranged (Targeted AoE), DMG(Psionic), Foe Disorient Multiple flashing lights go off around enemies, disorienting and damaging them. Gleam deals minimal Psionic damage, and can Disorient all affected targets for a good while. Phantom Army Summon Decoys: Ranged DMG(Psionic) You can fabricate 3 Phantom heroes around a targeted foe. These Phantoms are not real, and are indestructible. Though they deal damage, it is illusory and will heal if the victim survives long enough. Phantoms are short lived and cannot be buffed or healed.

Phantasm Summon Phantasm: Ranged, DMG(Smash/Energy/Psionic) You can construct a powerful entity composed of pure light. Although made of light, the Phantasm is tangible and has powerful Energy attacks. The Phantasm can also fly and summon duplicates of itself. The duplicates are intangible, and cannot be harmed.

Advanced Difficulty Settings - General Fixed issue that was allowing Ultimate Super Inspirations to be used in content where they should be disabled. Advanced Difficulty Settings - Dr. Aeon's Strike Force Golden Brickernauts are now immune to healing while they are counting down, preventing scenarios where a Smelter heals them during the countdown which then caused their self-destruct to not be fatal and they 'magically revived' after exploding. Imperious Task Force Mission 1: The Sybil captors are now properly scaled again, with a minion instead of a lieutenant enemy if the team size is 5 or below. Fixed some map issues that were being exploited. Dr. Aeon's Strike Force Mission 5: Adjusted Emperor Requiem's AI configuration to ensure he stays suspended until the first four AVs are down, and then properly activates and fights after. Adjusted the objective setup so the 'Talk to PsiCurse (Optional)' objective will clear once you leave Ripple 3. Custom/Sheathed Weapons All weapons have been given a quality pass on placement on the back, they should be closer overall but still allowing as much flexibility as possible for body scaling. Female in particular have had most weapons brought closer to their back, as they were given excessive space when their torso scaling doesn't change like the other two body types. If any weapons have issues or seem oddly placed, please let @Cobalt Arachne know. Added 'Tomahawk' model to weapon selection for Battle Axe. This was a previously unused legacy axe model. Added 'Scimitar' model to weapon selection for Broadsword. This is the Scimitar model variant seen in Dual Blades which is thinner. Fixed incorrect draw child FX on Female Right 'Axe' Dual Blade. Adjusted 'Rikti Axe' to match the previous back positioning fix that went out to the Broadsword Rikti weapons but was missed on Battle Axe. 'Rikti Blade' Katana on Female/Huge bodies were mis-sized between sheathed/unsheathed versions, they are now correctly sized. The fancy back-to-hip-to-hand draw animation for the 'Rikti Blade' Katana has been smoothed on all three body types. 'Fire & Ice' War Mace was scaled smaller than intended on all three body types, has been made to match the properly sized Arachnos Mace version. Fixed missing sheathed draw FX on all four female Arachnos Maces. Fixed wrong/poorly named standard Arachnos Maces; Now labeled as the following in the editor: Bane Spider Mace renamed to 'Wolf Spider TacOps' Arachnos Mace A renamed to 'Bane Spider Scout' Arachnos Mace B renamed to 'Bane Spider Executioner' Arachnos Soldier AR child FX were missed for the firing point fix; Those FX are now fixed as well. Costume Fixes Rocket Boots options with the jump FX now only fire the thrusters during the jump's ascent and then shut-off during the fall, mirroring other jump jet FX. Power Bug Fixes Sonic Assault's Shriek and Scream are no longer usable while mezzed Defender's Epic Force of Nature recovery effect no longer ignores strength buffs. Ethereal Shift, Med Pack, Backup Radio and Signature Summons no longer work in PVP zones. Peregrine Island Incandescent now using Lotus Float as the last neutral animation was still causing her waist cape to get stuck on her leg often. Cimerora The patrols of bosses that appear in Castellum Quarter no longer respawn instantaneously and infinitely. Imperial City Powers are no longer suppressed inside the Trading House. Pocket D A wet floor sign has been deployed where the infamous Pocket D barfer was once located. There have been hazmat reports of concern, and an investigation is on-going. The feline patrons have decided to move over to the bar inside the AE block after some contention about occupying the favorite spots of some Pocket D regulars. Miscellaneous Removed the shout from the normal Vault Reserve Benevolabs vendor as it was causing it to show up in missions on maps that had Vault Reserves out of bounds. Stability & performance improvements: Fix a possible performance regression that could disproportionately affect machines with limited main memory bandwidth (some debug options mistakenly made it into the last release build). Fix a memory corruption bug in string handling edge cases that dates all the way back to the retail game but was extremely elusive -- until the aforementioned debug options caught it. Was causing a number of client crashes when a debug assertion triggered while editing supergroup costume colors. Fix two different base editor crashes that were reported. Fix weird issues that could happen when dismissing tip contacts under certain circumstances, including the newspaper / police radio temporarily disappearing, a phantom tip showing up in the "Inactive" tab, or a client crash. Fix reported client crash that could happen when double clicking certain doors with click-to-move enabled.

If any weapons have issues or seem oddly placed, please let @Cobalt Arachne know. Added 'Tomahawk' model to weapon selection for Battle Axe. This was a previously unused legacy axe model. Added 'Scimitar' model to weapon selection for Broadsword. This is the Scimitar model variant seen in Dual Blades which is thinner. Fixed incorrect draw child FX on Female Right 'Axe' Dual Blade. Adjusted 'Rikti Axe' to match the previous back positioning fix that went out to the Broadsword Rikti weapons but was missed on Battle Axe. 'Rikti Blade' Katana on Female/Huge bodies were mis-sized between sheathed/unsheathed versions, they are now correctly sized. The fancy back-to-hip-to-hand draw animation for the 'Rikti Blade' Katana has been smoothed on all three body types. 'Fire & Ice' War Mace was scaled smaller than intended on all three body types, has been made to match the properly sized Arachnos Mace version. Fixed missing sheathed draw FX on all four female Arachnos Maces. Fixed wrong/poorly named standard Arachnos Maces; Now labeled as the following in the editor: Bane Spider Mace renamed to 'Wolf Spider TacOps' Arachnos Mace A renamed to 'Bane Spider Scout' Arachnos Mace B renamed to 'Bane Spider Executioner' Arachnos Soldier AR child FX were missed for the firing point fix; Those FX are now fixed as well. Costume Fixes Rocket Boots options with the jump FX now only fire the thrusters during the jump's ascent and then shut-off during the fall, mirroring other jump jet FX. Bug Fixes Sonic Assault's Shriek and Scream are no longer usable while mezzed Defender's Epic Force of Nature recovery effect no longer ignores strength buffs. Peregrine Island Incandescent now using Lotus Float as the last neutral animation was still causing her waist cape to get stuck on her leg often. Cimerora The patrols of bosses that appear in Castellum Quarter no longer respawn instantaneously and infinitely. Imperial City Powers are no longer suppressed inside the Trading House. Pocket D A wet floor sign has been deployed where the infamous Pocket D barfer was once located. There have been hazmat reports of concern, and an investigation is on-going. The feline patrons have decided to move over to the bar inside the AE block after some contention about occupying the favorite spots of some Pocket D regulars. Miscellaneous Removed the shout from the normal Vault Reserve Benevolabs vendor as it was causing it to show up in missions on maps that had Vault Reserves out of bounds.

Tasks Sister Valeria Ambushes no longer chase players endlessly and shouldn't see through stealth. Added missing Incarnate finale rewards for non-task-owners. Repeatable Cimerora Incarnate Missions Due to the inconsistency issue with Sister Valeria not introducing Alexandra Sideris to many players, Alexandra Sideris is now unlocked by owning the Sister Valeria arc completion badge so you will gain access to these incarnate missions even if you completed Sister Valeria's arc using Ouroboros. All option dialog on the task selections now includes a highlight of the mission objectives in red to more easily distinguish what that choice's task will be. Advanced Difficulty - General Re-added missed inspiration restriction modes to 2-Star and 3-Star Advanced Difficulty levels. Advanced Difficulty - Imperious Task Force Mission 3 Fixed issue with initial behavior on the Aereus Colossi Twins that was sometimes causing them to behave strangely. Mission 4 Nictus Romulus Augustus' Ebon Eye now has a -Fly debuff. Sister Solaris In the finale mission the spawns with multiple Minotaur and Cyclopes will now only have two of them at incarnate level with the added Nictus powers. Colleen Nelson Fixed the error that was causing text in her arc to appear as pstrings. Steven Sheridan Atmospheric pedestrians, cars, and trams should no longer spawn on the two new outdoor Rikti invasion mission maps. Power Fixes Fixed numerous typos in power descriptions for Sonic Assault and Symphony Control. Tintable customization of the Munitions Mastery Freeze Ray FX was missed for the fix that resolved the disjointed firing point; Now always fires from the correct point of the chosen rifle model. Costumes Sheathed Weapons Male/Female/Huge - Broadsword: Sheathed positioning for 'Rikti Sword' & 'Rikti Sword 2' on Broadsword adjusted to sit more naturally on the back. Female/Huge - Broadsword: Fixed 'Rapier' & 'Carnival of Shadows Rapier' to scale properly as they were previously bigger than intended. Female - Broadsword: Sheathed 'VK-99 Event Horizon' & 'PX17-N Supernova' were set to the wrong draw FX. Male/Female - Broadsword & Dual Blade: The following smaller weapons have been set to sit slightly lower on the back while sheathed to make them look more natural: Hook Sword Machete Organic Sword Sky Raider Machete Vahzilok Bone Saw Vahzilok Butcher Knife Faer Dagger (Dual Blade only) Dragon Dagger (Dual Blade only) Redcap Dagger (Dual Blade only) Sai (Dual Blade only) Tanto (Dual Blade only) Main Droite & Main Gauche (Dual Blade only) Male/Female/Huge - Dual Blades: Left Dual Blades now sit closer to the Right Dual Blades on all body types so they won't appear to float as far off the back. Female - Dual Blades: Adjusted the spacing offsets for Dual Blades as there was a bit more space between them and the weapons than was needed to facilitate bone size variations in costumes. Male/Huge - War Mace, Bane Spiders, & Mace Mastery: Improved the back position offsets for a couple models that were leaning a little far from the back: Carnival of Light Carnival of War Carnival of Vengeance Carnival Mallet Coral Club Coral Hammer Rularuu's Fury Male - War Mace: Sheathed Tech Mace was set to the wrong draw FX. Enemy Groups Cimeroran Traitors Cimeroran Traitor elite bosses are now bigger and have a slightly different helmet crest to make them more identifiable against the normal bosses, whom they previously shared a costume with. Fixed an issue where Incarnate-level Minotaurs had the damage set unintentionally too high on their Chop power. The Lost Fixed an issue that was causing Lost mobs to spawn at higher levels than intended in certain missions. Zones Peregrine Island Since Castle is now fulfilling his trainer duties in Recluse's Victory to train incoming Temporal Warriors, Vanguard's Incandescent has been appointed as the new trainer in Peregrine Island while she works on organizing collaborative efforts between Vanguard and Portal Corp. Fort Trident The submarine inside Fort Trident was incorrectly pointing to the Smuggler's Ship destinations, it now correctly connects to the Smuggler's Submarine destinations (one-way). The Crucible Owning the 'Arbiter' badge for completing the Barracuda Strike Force now properly unlocks The Crucible as a Long Range Teleporter destination. Supergroup Bases Fixed the issue that was causing "Shower Floor 2" (the smaller of the two) to have changed position in existing bases. Fixed issue that was causing freshly placed teleporter beacons to not attach properly to teleporters. Miscellaneous Removed a non-functional PlayerName variable from contact busy text. Various client stability fixes to address crash reports.
