    Sniper Beta Patch Notes, June 1st 2019

    in [Open Beta] Patch Notes

    Posted

    1) Enjoyed a lot playing and test on Justin ! What a brilliant idea ! Thanks

     

    2) Concerning the snipe,

     

    a) I do like the change as it allow characters not builded with max accuracy to cast insta snipe as well. Actually my blaster is perma instant snipe but I dont use the power on other char as it can be such a sacrifice on a build to run after accuracay. With this modification it expand the variety of characters able to use the snipe effectively. Very good.

     

    b) Concerning the insta snipe proc as well. It seem that the range of the snipe is reduced to 80 wether engaged in a fight or not. So the choice of this proc will be specifical if you absolutely want to get insta snipe as a first attack. Otherwise its not a must have.

     

    In a general way I enjoyed the new version. As a side effect it cause a damage drop for people who were used to the old version of perma snipe. But I see more advantage than disadvantage. Especillay in PVP zone were melee AT are less and less present because of over dominance of ranged. Remember an old time on the live were it was more balanced, and I liked it for variety of characters fighting in zone.

     

    Thanks to less us test dear Dev's ;)

    Homecoming Server Update (May 20th): What's Next?

    A side measure would have been to limit the number of characters per shard in order to limit name-camping (10 for instance). Such a rule could be softened by granting new character slots every x played days and/or every time a character hits 50. The more you play, the more characters you can have, otherwise you're stuck to 10 (if I stick to the example I have previously quoted).

     

    I like this !

    Probably more than 10 to my mind, but limiting the available slot to a smaller version than what we have today, and allow progressively with time spent in game to increase this number.

    Exemple : start to 15 slot and be able to go up to +100%, wich mean 30 character slot for intensive players.

    It looks like...well, I just forked over 10 million inf for a purple thing in my salvage bin that says Hero and Villain pack. But...no extra merits, no Archetype enhancements...well, nothing. At all. Just lost 10 million inf.

     

    There's nothing in my email that I didn't send to myself.

     

    What a disappointment. I should add, or should I say subtract - though the price was listed as 10 million inf, I was charged 30 million!

     

    Maybe you should not go berserk straight away and give more patience and trust to whats going on here.

     

    1)Go back to your salvage window and right click on the "purple thing" then choose "open".

    2)You will see five cards popping on your screen. Click to return them and discover your gain

    3) After your gains are revealed you can get them for real in your mail box. But its not in the "inbox", you have another option in your mailbox wich is called "characters item". This one is the good one and mean that any of your characters can access to it and claim one or more of the gifts you earned by purchasing a hero pack.

    [*]It’s possible you may encounter issues, packs and items may disappear before or as you claim them - until this has been tested thoroughly, use them at your own risk as there will be no refunds for lost influence or items

     

    This warning is IMPORTANT !!

    Just baught 3 packs to try the concept … open them and see the goodies … I validate but then I cannot see anythink on my character. I have carefully check for 10 minutes in the salvages and enhancements but there is really nothing.

    30 millions lost ;)

    It has to be taken in consideration before buying

    Check the in-game email window ;)

     

    You are right Jimmy thank you !

    Homecoming Server Update (May 1st): Perfectly Balanced

    Very good new for AE :)

    It was convenient in a way (I used it) but in term of gameplay it is a killing machine if it goes industrial.

     

    Quite bad news for shard purposes :(

    Its a good think to propose dedicated places I admit, but for me it happen suddenly whereas I did so many efforts on torchbearer for my different toons.

    Will not start from scratch on undomitable but I still prey that "ONE DAY" it will be possible to transfer from a shard to another. It was allowed on live server if I remember.

     

    In the end : thanks a lot guys for your work, your constant efforts to maintain our world alive. God bless you.
