Myrmidon Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 10 hours ago, Jimmy said: Brute taunt auras not working in farms - this was on Homecoming's test server for months, but the players it affected didn't engage in testing, so the issue wasn't found Sorry about that. Being my primary focus, the Tanker changes consumed almost all of my attention and I didn’t even think to check on Brutes (Had I hopped on a Brute even for a moment, that bug would have been apparent). I promise to do a much more thorough job of it in all future beta tests. 1 Playing CoX is it’s own reward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summers Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I've read between the lines of what @Jimmy has been saying and I'm sure that Scorpion Shield is getting a NoFX option, Wormhole will work on all levels, and Regen is getting nerfed. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you around on live when the live devs decided to replace powers in the Patron pools that "nobody used?" There was *definitely* not a reduction in intensity of complaints. In the end, we got 5 powers per pool. Sadly that left us with a few tons of feathers and ... I think 2700 gallons of boiling tar we had nothing to use on. Primarily on Everlasting. Squid afficionado.

Retired Developer Piecemeal Posted January 19, 2021 Retired Developer Share Posted January 19, 2021 There are more things coming, hopefully quicker since I know a bit more now than I did a year ago. 1 2 "Science. Science, my friend, requires radical gambles and adventures in malpractice sometimes. Take solace in the fact that I tested the majority of these things on the dead, the re-dead, and the nearly departed before I went to live trials. Honestly, most of my "specimens" were several iterations past being considered a human being with their original fingerprints, teeth, or IDs.

Things like the police standing around the door at the end of the mission were a nice touch. Thank you. Those arcs were expected to be a bit polarizing, and the next patch to them softens it up some more before I take a full step back from them. The future content will take bits and pieces of what I learned in those arcs. Their true 'flaws' are that they are packed with things I needed to try and do, to see if they could be done. It turned out to be a bit much in the package, but now the groundwork is laid for future arcs to use the tech that's already working and expand upon it, little bits of it here and there. I will still strive to add more things spread out across my work. But updating textures, tweaking maps, that's something that I want to include in every release. As far as those arcs, it was a rocky but strong outing for my initial introduction, but I think you'll find I rather elegantly addressed some of the bigger concerns by this next patch: How the Virus affects you How to counteract the virus Map density and Min/LT/Boss spreads (Unfortunately I will admit I like the rave too much to alter it more - I consider it a mid-arc crescendo before the second act) Team-friendly options to affect your gameplay options (In the investigation) Things I'll definitely keep doing: Divergent endings More callbacks, NPCs coming back with new purposes, and more pop culture references than is probably good for me More unique NPCs Global plot moving forward 6 "Science.
