I would need to look into it when I get the time, but I think itnhad to do with Proton's Cell. It was described as -ToHit, but it actually does -Defense. So I think that note should read, it now takes -def/accurate -def, and no longer takes -tohit/accurate -tohit. When I'm home later at a computer I'll confirm amd correct. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argentae Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 My god... it's full of stars. 🙂 Sooo many updates. I'll need to play with the new Telekinesis. IMO TK has been broken since the target cap was crippled to 5 in ED but the EXTREME end cost was never adjusted to reflect the changed utility. The new version is a completely different power, but providing a clumping and immob function, and it sounds like you can push the resulting clump around by moving? Need to play with it and see how it works in play. VERY happy that someone is looking at TK though! I appreciate the massive amount of effort that has gone into this update, you all ROCK! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGoblin256 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Minor request, but is there any chance you could add the non-colorable "Legacy" version of the Gold Bricker Jetpack with the rusty propeller and gold that matches up with the other Legacy GB parts? Also, would be nice to see the Rikti Gunblade added to Battle Axe and Broadsword. Everything else looks great! The Rikti Teleport FX and the Rikti Drone pet were two things I wanted super bad, and I'm looking forward to the Arachnos Soldier updates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garvisdol73 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I see the Arachnos Soldier power customizations... checking them out now. I have a Bane and a Crab. For now, focusing on my Bane. The Crab animation theme on Bane (no crab spider legs) is a little odd. Looks like my character is trying to launch bullets/grenades from his fists. While odd, though, I actually sort of like it. I might go with this if it goes to live in this format. However I'd like to ask for one more thing. Currently the Wide Area Web Grenade and Venom Grenade can launch from your mace, which is *GREAT*. However, Heavy Burst and Frag Grenade do not have options for "Bane Grenade Default." Therefore, these can only be launched from the fists or the rifle. Could you please extend "Bane Grenade Default" so that it can also apply to Heavy Burst and Frag Grenade? This would be ideal. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The character customization preview for that feature is not accurate to how it looks ingame; an unfortunate limitation that couldn't be overcome. I highly recommend testing ingame to get an idea for how the feature plays out. 42 minutes ago, garvisdol73 said: However I'd like to ask for one more thing.

These powers were intentionally omitted from the Bane Mace alt animation by design, as the Bane Mace does not fire bullets or physical ordnance; it's an energy weapon with some support grenades.

windezz Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 My Crab Spider will appreciate the customization and animation changes/improvements very much! Time Bomb was an auto skip even back on Live, it was thematic but highly impractical for its function and potency, I can see the new replacement being used with T9 in an one-two punch fashion, which will definitely alleviate one of the criticisms that /device is light on damage compared to other sets. For the Controller/Defender/Corruptor, Temporal Bomb looks very appealing since it brings recharge/recovery buffs that /traps don't currently have, but in a fast run where the team mows through groups, it might not shine until the AV or large pulls? Will have to test, loved my ar/dev on Live, will be interesting to tinker with builds to fit Remote Bomb in. Incidentally, that guy who made the post a few day ago accusing the devs for being lazy reallllllly turned out to be top tier r/agedlikemilk material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
