JayboH Posted November 6, 2021 Posted November 6, 2021 I realize it isn't mentioned in the patch notes, but I wanted to confirm the Popup tray animation stutter bug is still present with this build. Flint Eastwood

Expand It's really not hard at all though. Just make it non-stackable (like group invis does) and then remove the -defense from the crash. Problem solved. That and swap jab and punch for tankers so they can skip jab. And swap knockout blow for foot stomp to get aoe earlier. 3

Super Atom Posted November 6, 2021 Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) Thank you for the LRSF and the additional stuff with it, I'll stop making posts about it now i promise ❤️ If it's un-nerfed outside of the challenge mode, which i was told it is on discord, it might be important to mention they're 54 on that difficulty outside of the challenge.

Ruin Mage Posted November 6, 2021 Posted November 6, 2021 It's probably a good idea to focus on the Page's content itself rather than go "man, this is what I was hoping for." - It's kinda detractive from the thread. 1 6 1 alright buddy, it's time to shit yourselfcasts earthquake, activates dispersion bubble

The new difficulty options shine a massive spot light on Rage in specific. The crash is a death sentence in the higher modes. Hopefully this will encourage addressing the hot issue that is the current state of Super Strength faster. Edited November 6, 2021 by Super Atom 1 1
MagicalAct Posted November 6, 2021 Posted November 6, 2021 Thank you so much for the Electrical blast changes, that's awesome. My main on homecoming is a poison/elec defender that I love despite elec blast's short comings, which there are many at the moment. Looking forward to the new voltaic sentinel, the shocked mechanic, and the tesla jumping. 2
Greentea Posted November 6, 2021 Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) I can't wait to test new changes to Electrical Blast! Any chances Electricity Assault will get the same treatment? That poor thing's all alone in the darkness, collecting dust... Edited November 6, 2021 by Chargestone 1

Lockpick Posted November 6, 2021 Posted November 6, 2021 Wow, a ton of work has gone into this release and it seems like the HC team were listening and acting on the community concerns around hard mode content. Very nice and very appreciated! 1
WindDemon21 Posted November 6, 2021 Posted November 6, 2021 I'm going to agree on upthrust and meteor, esp upthrust, seems too slow for the actual hit to the mobs. Meteor some too but it's a nuke so less of an issue. But otherwise the rest seems really solid! Would be awesome if that could roll out asap so i could play on live 😛 Got a sweet seismic/plant build that meshes awesomely! 1

Expand Procs aren't dependent on animation times. They are dependent on internal recharge values of that specific power. As for Meteor it seems like they are making it a more action packed version of Archery's t9. By the description it seems to be the same except for the knockback and the extra mechanic in the power set. So if there's complaint about it animating slow and doesn't get to blast as many people as you wanted then Archery would like to have a word. Edited November 6, 2021 by Mezmera

DoctorDitko Posted November 7, 2021 Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Quote Gravity Control's Propel will summon the same object on everyone's screen. Fix a longstanding bug where missions would be launched with the wrong difficulty settings if the mission owner was not in the same zone as the door and another teammate entered it first. Expand 1.0 x 10^6 thanks for these! My 2nd or 3rd character from Live was a Grav controller, and was devastated to learn that his brilliant post-Propel quips (e.g. "Eat Buick, b*tch!") were making his teammates doubt his sanity, rather than making them laugh. Or, making them laugh at him rather than with him. And for those of us using old-school shortcuts and new TP powers to be first to the mission (when character-appropriate, of course!) will no longer have to suffer the scorn of our teammates for clicking the door! I sometimes fell for that temptation, and fulsome apologies did not make up for my teammates being forced to reset or log to fix my impulsive error. Thanks from me and my long-suffering teammates!
