Retired Game Master GM Dredd Posted May 10, 2019 Retired Game Master Posted May 10, 2019 Patch Notes - Last Updated May 16, 2019 This post will be regularly updated as a quick reference for historical client/server changes and gameplay balances and fixes. Dates link to the relevant forum post. 05/16/19GENERALHalcyon 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. POWERS 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 GeneralAll 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 05/05/19 [*]Super Packs Added [*]XP Boosts adjusted for servers, on permanently until otherwise noted. [*]Character Shard Transfers enabled 05/01/19 Architect Entertainment -50% XP Nerf added to discourage farming missions from flooding the system. Weekday +50% XP Boost added on all servers to encourage players to spread out playtime away from weekends. Weekends on Everlasting and Indomitable will be set to +250% XP Boost Leveling Pacts disabled due to instability. Fixed scenario that allowed players to create Architect missions with enemies that actually healed you instead of damaging you. Fixed bug that caused players to receive multiple copies of the 15th Anniversary Badge reward 04/29/19 City Zones set to unload if empty, may cause slightly increased loading times when entering an empty zone. Players can now skip the login queue if reconnecting within 10 minutes of a previous disconnect. All logging for player information has been disabled 04/28/19 Indomitable and Everlasting shards added to the pool with +100% XP Boost Login Queue System enabled - Shards limited to 1,500 players 15th Anniversary badge added 04/28/19 Excelsior Shard added to the pool Read Here for Issue 25 Consolidated Patch notes for changes implemented prior to Homecoming launch
