Sodd Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Posting this here instead of the FF power changes thread since stealth is not specifically listed in that thread. Tested the changes to stealth today. The in-combat defense increase of stealth on live is completely suppressed on beta. Tested using the exact same build on both live and beta. Live Out of combat melee defense stealth running: 25.97% In combat melee defense stealth running: 22.96% In combat melee defense stealth not running: 19.96% Beta Out of combat melee defense stealth running: 28.99% In combat melee defense stealth running: 19.96% In combat melee defense stealth not running: 19.96% As per the patch notes: "Invisibility and Stealth have been merged together, the best parts of both powers are now available with just Stealth" Does not seem that the best part of stealth is being carried over to the merging of stealth and invisibility. Is this intended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you are looking for infiltration. edit: my edit didnt work: (yes, there should be incombat defense. infiltration does not have incombat defense) In-combat defence is unchanged Edited March 31, 2021 by Hew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Council Arcanum Posted April 6, 2021 Author City Council Share Posted April 6, 2021 Build 4 - April 6th Miscellaneous Coordinates & /thumbtack Added a /thumbtack <x> <y> <z> command to set the thumbtack in the minimap with world coordinates The /loc command now displays the current position as a thumbtack link Writing a location in chat surrounded by square brackets will generate a thumbtack link to that position They will only be considered valid if they consist of exactly three numbers, separated by spaces or commas Added the $loc chat variable which translates to your current coordinates into a clickable thumbtack link The /whereami command will now also display your current position as a thumbtack link Signature Story Arcs in LFG Signature Story Arcs are now available in the "Story Arcs" tab of the Looking For Group window Note that you will only see the Signature Story Arcs for your current alignment Teleportation Targeting & /powexec_location Added a "cursor" targeting mode to /powexec_location It behaves as if the power was activated with a click at the current mouse cursor location This will allow you to quickly activate teleport with a hotkey without needing to click Significantly improved the targeting cursor for teleportation powers and it's now much easier to reliably choose the desired destination The 'red ring of doom' should rarely appear now, and it should be almost impossible to have it fall back to the character's feet Fixed issues with two-side polygon collision that prevented the use of teleportation powers in a few places, the most notable being the outer ring of the Chantry / Storm Palace New Command: /powers_togglealloff Added a new /powers_togglealloff command which will toggle off all currently active toggles Inspirations Ambrosia This inspiration now applies to the caster and all pets Essence of the Earth This inspiration now applies to the caster and all pets Barracuda Strike Force Power of Black Scorpion (the power required to kill Reichsman) is now always granted to the team leader, regardless of Archetype Defenders now receive Power of Ghost Widow Masterminds now receive Power of Captain Mako Badges Added the "Complicated" badge to Frostfire's story arc This will be granted retroactively to characters that already have the arc's souvenir Corrected the badge art for many "stature level" missions that were using the wrong level range or duplicate art Hero badges; Negotiator, Spelunker, Plague Stopper, Spirit Warrior, Pwnz, Do No Harm, Emancipator, Meteorologist, True Nemesis, Bodyguard, Agent Villain badges: Stone Cold, Bone Collector, Plague Carrier, Mask Maker Null the Gull Simplified the dialogue options for hiding pop-up trays All travel powers now use the same option for hiding trays Previously they all used the same flag, but presented as different dialog options - this was fine when only Origin pools had pop-up powers and you could only ever have one With the standard travel powers gaining pop-up powers it was necessary to simplify this Atlas Park & Mercy Island Enemies in Atlas Park and Mercy Island should no longer reproduce like rabbits and spawn in on top of players User Interface Enhancement Boosters and Catalysts can now be applied directly by clicking on them, without using the Combine button The confirmation dialog box is optional and can be enabled or disabled from the Options window Applying an Enhancement Booster that doesn't make the Enhancement +5 will have a faster animation Known issue: the Enhancement returns to the power after a fast Booster application - the intention is that it stays selected so you can spam-click to +5 it, and only then it returns to the power "Current Absorb" can now be monitored in the combat attributes window Note: This change may mean your currently tracked combat attributes need to be re-selected Power details screens should no longer mix up PvP and PvE attributes Changed the wording of defense and defense debuff attributes in power details screens so players can more accurately distinguish between them Improved the readability of power descriptions with the addition of paragraphing and text colours to break up the information PvP IO recipes can no longer be sold to vendors Bug Fixes The inter-dimensional Katana and Bow thief has finally be caught and brought to justice!

aethereal Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) These are really exciting changes (more exciting, to me, than anything in the first three builds), and I think it should be a big counterexample to people who are concerned that feedback is not being heard. (Er, speaking of in general all the changes in build 4, not just the ones excerpted above). Edited April 6, 2021 by aethereal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

td1ddy Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Just curious on why the changes to Rune of Protection? That power feels like a way some characters can gain status protection that normally wouldn't (ignoring incarnate) and now it's even less accessible. I would rather see it like hasten, something that could be taken earlier and take a ridiculous amount of recharge to perma. Get rid of the resistance piece of it to balance it.

I do understand this, however, we have clarion out there that takes no work. What I'm suggesting wouldn't make it perma until endgame - just like Hasten. Having the ability to take it would certainly open up builds for me. It wouldn't even necessarily be an automatic since Clarion does exist - though having would make exemplar more bearable for some builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a huge difference. And frankly, Incarnate powers are not well balanced, and the devs have indicated as much in talking about wanting everyone to feel valued at the end game.

UberGuy Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) Personally, I think Amplifiers are a mess. They were pure P2W Paragon Market fare. Letting people pay real money to get long-term mez protection smacks of really egregious P2W prioritization. They exist here because all the P2W stuff was caried over from the i24 codebase, but my opinion is that they were a bad idea. But I also agree that taking them away now would cause a great wailing and gnashing of teeth. Edited April 8, 2021 by UberGuy 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then 22. Then out. I was about to say that I think they should be kept for the lower levels as a boost for starting characters. But thinking about it I wonder if the fact that people are used to starting each squishie characters career with always on mez protection is part of the problem we are seeing with the RoP changes. Once you have become used to something it is a wrench when it disappears, far more than if you never had it in the first place. Assuming people are reluctant to keep paying for the amplifiers they then look for the thing they have had in other places and RoP as part of a cycle of powers becomes that answer. So yes, if the amplifiers were removed altogether it might not be the worst thing in the world. People would go absolutely crazy about it though. Mind you I'm coming to the conclusion that people are going to go absolutely crazy about any changes regardless of what they are. I'm in danger of becoming stuck staring at the inside of my own head given the amount of eye rolling I've been doing over the reaction to the RoP changes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oedipus_tex Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) RE: World of Confusion. This is hot! What a wonderful and so far largely uncommented on change. Thank you for this, this really opens up some fun build ideas. This leaves me hopeful you'll make the same updates to Arctic Air. I love Arctic Air... and I hope you can give it the same love. If you'd prefer to discuss in the Dom forum rather than here I understand. In the meantime tho, praise be. This change is great and exactly what Doms need.

Tested the changes to stealth today. The in-combat defense increase of stealth on live is completely suppressed on beta. Tested using the exact same build on both live and beta. Live Out of combat melee defense stealth running: 25.97% In combat melee defense stealth running: 22.96% In combat melee defense stealth not running: 19.96% Beta Out of combat melee defense stealth running: 28.99% In combat melee defense stealth running: 19.96% In combat melee defense stealth not running: 19.96% As per the patch notes: "Invisibility and Stealth have been merged together, the best parts of both powers are now available with just Stealth" Does not seem that the best part of stealth is being carried over to the merging of stealth and invisibility. Is this intended? Tested again with the 10 April, 2021 build and in-combat defense from Stealth is still fully suppressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't reproduce this. What specifically is triggering the suppression for you? Keep in mind that CC will suppress the effects of most toggles entirely, including Stealth. Got time to spare?

Greycat Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Late in the game for this, I know, but I'd still like a slash command or Null option to just disable fast snipe if I want. I *want* the higher damage and longer range... pretty much always, even with the interrupt and longer cast time. Just something to consider for the future. Primarily on Everlasting. Squid afficionado. Former creator of Copypastas. General smartalec. I tried to combine Circle and DE, but all I got were garden variety evil mages.

Wapsitax Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 On 4/6/2021 at 12:23 PM, GM Arcanum said: New Command: /powers_togglealloff Added a new /powers_togglealloff command which will toggle off all currently active toggles Small request but could you add an alias for this command to follow the naming norm for power execution commands? I only ask because I know I'm going to be binding this command a lot to replace one I use on pretty much every character and I'm going to muscle memory my way into typing /powexec and I can't imagine I'm going to be the only one. Thanks for your consideration and all the work you guys put into keeping City of feeling like City of, but better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavicle Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Can't get into the Staging servers.

Wavicle Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Peacebringer Dwarf Step still does not allow movement immediately after porting, like WS does. That's on Brainstorm, can't get on Shadow yet.

Riverdusk Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) "Current Absorb" can now be monitored in the combat attributes window Nice. Minor request, can we get it changed to where we can "monitor" more than 10 things? I find it a bit limiting. Not sure if it is due to some kind of technical hurdle to increase that?
