• Dual Pistols (all versions): Addressed some issues with animations not executing for the next power right after a weapon redraw attack

Patch Notes

Powers

• Infiltration buffed travel speeds works as described.
• Walk changed works as described.
• Stygian Circle works as described.

 

Miscellaneous

• Using the 'Lock Powers in Trays' option locks macros in power trays, works as described. May want to rephrase the patch note though because the option is to lock power not icon. No big though either way.

 

Sewer Network & Abandoned Sewer Network

• Holy cow I don't remember the Abandon Sewer zone being so dark! Anyways, wow! I am surprised, I had no idea Dr. Vahz lab was done here! And the fact that there were Arachnoids with all those spider webs, awesome find!
• Map change verified as described.

Spoiler

• 'Living Dark' badge is located as described.

 

Echo Plaza (This is an awesome addition for Praetorians! Thank you for being so inclusive with this new zone! Some notes below:)

• Tested TUNNEL Connection, works as described.
• Tested Luna offering Praetorians the past Anniversary badges, works as described and I was able to purchase all sixteen (I was awarded the 17th upon character creation).
• Logging off near Hospital awards credit towards respective day job for Praetorians. Minor request - can the area that applies credit towards the day job be expanded from where it currently is (marked red) to the area marked yellow?

Spoiler

• Logging off near the tailor awards credit towards respective day job for Praetorians. Minor request - can the area that applies credit towards the day job be expanded from where it currently is (marked red) to the area marked yellow?

Spoiler

• Tested fall damage, works as described. No longer receiving damage for falling from any height.

Sewer Network & Abandoned Sewer Network

• Updated the Abandoned Sewer Network minimap to correctly display Vahzilok's lab
  • This area was added to the zone in i25 but the minimap was never updated

 

 

I was checking this out and the three rooms on the Vahzilok lab branch were not showing up on my ASN minimap, it looked the same as it does on the live servers (moving around off the map.) The badge (Living Dark) did get moved into the lab, I did find that much. I just didn't see the rooms added onto the minimap. Did others see the map change?

That's the VidiotMap for the Abandoned Sewer Network, not the stock in-game map (which is shown in the top post). It may take a little time to get the VidiotMaps for both the sewer networks updated.

makes sense

I was working off the idea that vidiomaps was less of a replacement of the ingame map, more of an overlay like with the old over-head projectors
