Trickshooter Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) There are lots of new and returning players who weren't around with the game all the way till sunset, and many of them have questions about when things happened and whether things are SCORE additions or were added after they stopped playing. So I thought I'd make a (not so) short list of all the big features and changes that came with each issue. I know I probably missed a lot (like Paragon Market items that aren't given patch notes), so please feel free to let me know if something is missing and you think it's significant enough to add a bullet point for.

Erydanus Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Great work. It's extremely handy to have a reference list to figure out when a thing happened, so it's easier to look it up and read about it in detail. It's also a nice trip down memory lane. 1 See me on Excelsior as Eridanus - Whisperkill - Kid Physics - Ranger Wilde - The Hometown Scrapper - Firewatch - and more!

Generator Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 * Ice Melee/Frozen Aura now does damage Egad, that was i11? In my head it was much later than that.

Chuckers Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Wow! What a stroll down memory lane. I remember each one of those issues. It's fun to think, oh yeah.. THAT'S when that happened! Thanks for posting this.
HelenCarnate Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 When was rage changed to still have the defensive debuff if it crashed with double rage?
Trickshooter Posted May 23, 2019 Author Posted May 23, 2019 When was rage changed to still have the defensive debuff if it crashed with double rage? Doesn't appear to have been a change made during the game's original lifetime. City of Data shows the Defense debuff as not stackable in Issue 24 still, so if you activate a second Rage before the original one ends, it should reset the 120 second delay on the debuff. If it doesn't work like this on Homecoming, I'd say it's likely a SCoRE change.

Erydanus Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 When did Archetype specific enhancements go in? I think it must be 19.5 or later as I was around through 19, but was unaware of ATOs when I started here. Also I did notice the other day that Boomtown doesn't have a hospital so that note about all zones having them is not correct. Several did get them then, but not all.

I think it must be 19.5 or later as I was around through 19, but was unaware of ATOs when I started here. The first set of ATOs was added in the Heroes and Villains Super Packs on 2/14/12, so about Issue 21.5. Also I did notice the other day that Boomtown doesn't have a hospital so that note about all zones having them is not correct. Several did get them then, but not all. Weird, the patch note specifically called out that they were added to Hazard and Trial zones. I will change the post to say "most zones."

Primantis Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 I might have missed it in your list. But wasn't there a point where Break Frees didn't exist, and you had specific inspirations to counter each mez type? Then the devs finally decided to merge them into a Break Free. And holy cow, I *totally* forgot "Cone Range Enhancements" were ever a thing xD Quite the trip down memory lane! Thank you.

I don't recall them being a per-mez thing, but whatever the pre-Break-Frees were, you couldn't activate them while you were mezzed, you had to use them in advance.

Break Frees were added in Issue 4 which is when I started playing, and I remember hearing that there were at least two types of mez-related inspirations before it, but I don't remember the difference between them.

justicebeliever Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 Break Frees were added in Issue 4 which is when I started playing, and I remember hearing that there were at least two types of mez-related inspirations before it, but I don't remember the difference between them. You had Discipline/Iron Will - but you had to use them BEFORE most of the mezzes, and then it was replaced by Resolve, which lessened the duration, but allowed you to use it while being mezzed. Break Frees added resistance against KB, Repel, Taunt, and Placate, but is essentially the same as Resolve "The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth." - Niels Bohr Global Handle: @JusticeBeliever ...

Trickshooter Posted June 27, 2019 Author Posted June 27, 2019 Break Frees were added in Issue 4 which is when I started playing, and I remember hearing that there were at least two types of mez-related inspirations before it, but I don't remember the difference between them. You had Discipline/Iron Will - but you had to use them BEFORE most of the mezzes, and then it was replaced by Resolve, which lessened the duration, but allowed you to use it while being mezzed. Break Frees added resistance against KB, Repel, Taunt, and Placate, but is essentially the same as Resolve That's how I understood it from Paragonwiki, but the actual Issue 4 patch notes referencing the removal of all but Break Frees was confusing: Resolve, Strength of Will, and Sheer Willpower Inspiration are now removed from the game. Break Free, Emerge, and Escape Inspirations will now protect you from all effects including Sleep, Hold, Immobilization, Disorient, Fear, Knockback and Confuse, and can be activated even while under such effects. New Inspiration consolidates all effects into one Inspiration. Can be used while under such effects. Old Inspirations now all act like the new ones. Reduced the duration of Break Free, Emerge, and Escape Inspirations. Since the Inspiration is now all-encompassing, we reduced the duration to compensate for the power increase. That makes it sound like at some point, the Break Free line replaced the Discipline line, and Resolve and Break Free existed simultaneously for awhile before all effects were merged in to Break Free. Since I wasn't sure, I didn't add it.

GritIron Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 Nice breakdown! I enjoyed reading it and thinking to myself "Hey i remember when that hit".
JasperStone Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 This is fantastic! As someone who primarily plays controllers, I did not realize containment can so late. Two points: 1.

Robotech_Master Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 Things I'd like to see added: When were Paragon Dance Party and Pocket D first added? When were the two transit lines merged to one? If you liked what I had to say, please check out my City of Heroes guides!
