Page 7 AE Questions

[Maris]

I'm really glad to see more powersets ported over into AE. That being said, I do have two questions pertaining to changes made in Page 7.

Are the developers planning on replacing Time Bomb in custom creature traps and devices with Temporal Bomb and Remote Bomb respectively?

Are there plans to add in a version Arsenal Control/Assault as a custom enemy powerset?

Mission Maps

• Fixed pathing beacon issues with all Arachnoid Warehouse map's second floors.
• Fixed a glowie that was inside a wall in the AE version of the Smelting Cauldron warehouse map.

 

I feel like we might want a Focused Feedback for this, there's a lot of powersets added as secondaries this patch. Additionally, if they're looking at pathing issues for NPCs, the Praetorian Tunnels needs a quick pass for the staircases, as NPCs get stuck there very frequently.

As someone who wrote for AE a lot before shutdown, seeing map fixes is actually exciting.  However, there's still glowies that aren't accessible on Smelting Cauldron.  Two of them, one roughly at [-745.1 0.0 88.7] and the other [-755.5 0.0 28.1] on the floor, are inside the big boiler in the last room.  The third is on a wall at roughly [-834.2 0.0 153.3] where you can't jump out.  I think it's either inside a shipping container or there's an invisible ceiling.  I found these by maxing out the number of collectibles and using the test setting to jump to objective.  Also, I think the numbers are off since it said you could place 40+ of floor and wall objectives but the mission only had around 15 of each.  Makes sense for the size of the map that there's not 40 of each but that might need adjusting in the mission settings if you can't actually set that many.

I'll look into these. Thanks!

Seconded on a pass of the Praetorian Tunnels maps. I was testing a map this weekend (the caves that emerge into Tyrant's throne room) and had two NPC allies get stuck. One got stuck in a cave wall and the other in the cave floor. Different spots on the map.

 

Thanks for everything you all are doing with this update! Very excited.
