Posted by Captain Powerhouse,

About aggro auras: Good news is i found the bug and fixed it internally. Bad news is it obviously requires a patch and not sure when that will be scheduled for.   The bug is exclusively with toggles. Punchvoke should be working on all click powers.   Sorry I didn't catch this during the beta period.

Burn issue is fixed internally, fix will be in the next patch.

Copied from the Bug Forum, This is something I've encountered tonight:

 

 

 

Is that really a bug? Given the recharge time of Shield Charge, it makes sense that the proc would trigger reliably.

Having played the character for several months I can confirm that Shield Charge is acting very differently post patch. I use it as my opening attack and it would occasionally knock back one or two targets in a mob. It now knocks back every target in the mob 100% of the time. This is clearly a bug.

Brutes/Tankers

- Darkness Mastery (same as the scrapper/stalker's version)

- Electricity Mastery

- Psionic Mastery

- Weapon Mastery (same as the scrapper/stalker's version)

 

Controllers

- Dark Mastery

- Electricity Mastery

 

Corruptors/Defenders

- Cold Mastery

- Munitions Mastery

 

Dominators

- Dark Mastery

- Electricity Mastery

- Stone Mastery

 

Masterminds

- Dark Mastery

Scrappers/Stalkers

Same with this. LR has a 0.64 mag KB on it, so even level enemies and above will only ever be KU'd, not KB'd. Not able to replicate what you're describing - as above, can you provide more details?

Is it possible that you've also got Avalanche six slotted and this is the same as the Shield Charge issue?

Yup just verified that's the issue!

Great job players!

Now someone fix it!

I love all the effort put into refining here.  I'm also really psyched you did the Illusion Control clone cosmetic option (Mirror, etc).  Please tell me there's a plan to also do this for PHANTASM and not just Phantom Army?  It would be really cool to have both do this!

 

Also, that base/mission may display bug you fixed has been a constantly complain people had since 2009, so it's super cool you fixed that one.

Going to verify with @Captain Powerhouse; it looks like the PvE Knockdown effect in the Avalanche and Superior Avalanche procs is missing the PPM entry, which makes it a guaranteed proc. The PvP version of the effect looks correct.

Okay, I am so tempted to slot this into a damage aura while it's still broken and just see everything flop around.

One thing though; several of the Blaster ancillaries already also need some work (Munitions most of all). Fire's great, but a lot of powers elsewhere are "crappier and slower cones than what I have in my primary". Can't remember the last time I saw anyone with personal force field on.

Looks like it's not just Avalanche, but quite a few different knockback procs. So enjoy the fun while it lasts. 😃

Huzzah! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! :-)

Team member location bug stating they were in their SG base or in the mission has finally been fixed!

"Mastermind pets in Follow mode will now always stay within a 100' radius of their owner, regardless if they are in Defensive or Aggressive stance."

"Pets now give a strong preference to selecting targets that are within 50' of the pet's owner."

"A number of pets have been classified as "Ranged Only" pets. The AI for these pets will no longer change position in order to use melee powers such as Brawl. They still possess these powers and will use them opportunistically if a target is in range, but will not move in order to do so."

*The mastermind minions running up to the enemy into melee range (instead of staying put and using range attacks), thus getting themselves killed off faster has been fixed!

Brutes' fury 'love':

"Brutes now get bonus fury generation in teams - the larger the team, the larger the bonus."

"Fury now takes 10 seconds without attacking to start its accelerated decay, instead of 5 seconds."

Thank you for ALL of your hard work, it is appreciated by me, and, I feel certain, is appreciated by others, even if they do not say so! :-) :-) :-)

Arachnos Soldiers > Summoned Spiders should no longer play a teleport fx every 10 seconds.

I always wondered what that was... didn't know it was a bug. Will you guys also fix the Call Reinforcements issue where when the power recharges before the pets die, if you use it nothing happens and it wastes the power and runs the cool down again? Make the pets die, then have it respawn new ones or something? Every other pet does that when the power recharge is up before the pets expire, except Call Reinforcements.

I have a specific question regarding Ice Armour and enhancements.

 

Specifically, how do Taunt enhancements slotted in Chilling Embrace and Icicles work now?  The detailed info in game no longer provides a taunt duration.

 

Are the enhancements ineffective as it's not using the 'global proc' mechanic?  Do the enhancements improve the duration of the proctaunt?

 

It's not clear to me from the patch notes to make a reasonable conclusion.

There's no way I can express how thankful I am for what the Dev team has done bringing this game back... and now making carefully thought out changes and fixes to improve the game even more.  I know this is a lot of time and effort.  I am just one of many voices here who truly appreciate your work.  I honestly see nothing here to complain about.  Great Job!  Keep it up!

They should work about the same as before I think, but you’re right that it’s not clear.

What was the point of increasing the target cap for Foot Stomp and Hand Clap while leaving their radii alone?

1) Their Radii were already large at 15ft versus the normal 8ft for the other AoE powers. Now it's 15ft vs. 12ft. No buff is realistically needed here. FULL DISCLOSURE: As an Inv/SS tanker, I personally wanted this buff to apply to Foot Stomp.

 

2) Now the tanker can affect more enemies closer to the target cap. It's the norm for me that while tanking I am only hitting about half of all taunted enemies in a mob due to the 10 target limit. That 15ft Range isn't nothing, you're going to be hitting all 16 mobs if there are 16 mobs to hit.
