detour Posted June 5 Posted June 5 This page will check off three different 'bucket list' items I've had for ages: Energy Armour for Tanks - I've wanted to play an NRG/NRG tank and now I finally get to! REGEN FOR TANKS - With the old 'instant healing' back to a toggle! The terminator bot that repairs itself mid-combat? I'm in! My absolute favourite change coming! Kallisti Wharf - It's really a beautiful zone, and I'm so glad to see something done with all that great architecture. If I had a 'top of list' item for another page, it would be the Return of Galaxy City as a playable zone. It's been years since the Meteors came. What a statement of hope and rebuilding it would be to have GC come back to life and give starting characters a different zone in which to hone their abilities. This may end up being my favourite page update. Thank you, team! 1 1

While I could see Galaxy City being a priority, if something along those lines were done, I'd love to see some progress made in Boomtown and The Hollows too. Maybe have a couple buildings get taken down by supervillains elsewhere, like Steel Canyon and Skyway.

The entrance to the city is beautiful, and the Donut / Old-Fashioned Badge is one of the reasons I still play COH! 1

These men & women ensure that the Kallisti Wharf citizenry remain protected from super threats! Who Are They? Blackwing Industries is a private military company that has been contracted by Emil Christie to replace the Paragon Police in protecting Kallisti Wharf. The branch of their company that is responsible for this task is known as: P.E.A.C.E. (Police Emergency Action & Crisis Engagement). They've been specially-trained and armed with cutting-edge technology to excel in suppressing meta human threats! These men & women are dedicated to maintaining peace and order in the zone that is their jurisdiction. What Can They Do? Most Blackwing Industries personnel are decked out in the group's trademarked Excelsion armor, nano-carbon kinetic dampening interlocking hex plates. This armor gives them resistance to conventional weaponry, but also leaves them vulnerable to Toxic! Most of the group gets access to more attacks when below 75% HP! The group deals a variety of damage types, however the most notable are: Range: Cold/Toxic (major), Fire/Psionic (minor) Melee: Smashing/Energy (major), Lethal/Fire/Toxic (minor) AoE: Fire/Psionic (major), Cold (minor) The following Blackwing Industries critters are noteworthy threats for their powers and behaviors! (Spoilers for those who wish to fight them blind!) This is only a partial list, detailing some parts of the enemy group's roster: Reveal hidden contents P.E.A.C.E. Medic (Lieutenant) Armed in red/white with warp packs, these teleporting medics keep Blackwing personnel healthy. Prone to dropping Triage Beacons and zipping away, they try to avoid direct combat while also keeping their allies supported. Best to target them early! Target the white & red or you might end up black & blue! P.E.A.C.E. Phantom (Lieutenant) Armed in purple with impervium katanas, these operatives can see through stealth with specular implants in their eyes. Watch out, they will utilize a particularly dangerous Assassin's Strike combo when cornered! You may not see them, but they can definitely see you! P.E.A.C.E. Ballistier (Boss) Boasting a pair of rocket boots and jet wings, these airborne agents will rain down a variety of grenades, creating damage and debuff patches players will have to avoid. Counters melee threats with thruster-boosted kicks! Really putting the 'wing' in Blackwing! P.E.A.C.E. Commander (Boss) These armored tanks boast distinctive rounded shoulder pads and are fully decked out head-to-toe in Excelsion body armor. They utilize the only weaponized application of the Excelsion system, compressing kinetic energy into an array of deadly blows. Commander's lead the charge and will zip into the fray with a Burst of Speed! These guys are straight-up fighters, tough with no tricks! P.E.A.C.E. Coordinator (Boss) The most enigmatic operatives amongst Blackwing's ranks, the Coordinators are bionic psychics who link P.E.A.C.E. squads together mentally, granting them shared senses mentally, creating their second-to-none coordination on the field. These support units will prefer to stay in the back lines and buff their team. When engaged, they can direct nearby Blackwing personnel to target a specific player! Mentally-linked Blackwing agents? Dangerous! Take these guys out quick! P.E.A.C.E. Neutralizer (Elite Boss) These Elite Bosses are without a doubt, the most dangerous of Blackwing Industries' P.E.A.C.E. units. The Neutralizer carries back-mounted heavy weapons and suppressive cannons that are designed to (You guessed it!) neutralize superhuman targets. Fortunately, due to prohibitive costs, these operatives are not widespread in deployment. If Blackwing is sending these guys into the field, you've been deemed a top level threat! P.E.A.C.E. Keeper (???) There are rumors that Blackwing Industries has an even more impressive mobile weapon platform, but details on it have been scarce. If the group feels like they're losing their control over Kallisti Wharf, they might be forced to deploy their secret weapon!

This allows for sleep to be stacked even if the sleep-casting power does damage, and sleep stacks that don't render the target asleep won't vanish if the target is hurt but awake. Deep Sleep This is a new variant of sleep. Deep Sleep is stickier than regular sleep. Enemies under its effect don't instantly wake up if damaged, instead the duration of their sleep is shortened. How much the sleep is shortened depends on the enemy rank, with minions taking more attacks to wake up and AVs being woken up by a single hit. The following powers have been flagged as Deep Sleep: Arsenal Control > Tranquilizer Earth Control > Salt Crystals Ice Control > Flash Freeze Mind Control > Mesmerize Mind Control > Mass Hypnosis Plant Control > Spore Burst Pyrotechnic Control > Hypnotizing Lights Symphony Control > Enfeebling Lullaby Epic > Arsenal Mastery > Sleep Grenade Epic > Earth Mastery > Salt Crystals Epic > Ice Mastery > Flash Freeze Epic > Psionic Mastery > Mass Hypnosis Epic > Psionic Mastery > Mesmerize Misc Changes There has been an implementation change to critter tables and their maximum levels.

'Crey's Folly' Lowered two floating crates near [1715, -21, 1518]. Eden Removed rogue piece of canopy geometry from Eden. Firebase Zulu Brought a floating shrub back to ground. Mercy Island Rubble and debris from the former Architect Entertainment building have finally been cleared away, and construction on the Rogue Isle Police precinct has been completed. New building contains an SG Registrar so villains can start Super Groups from their start zone, same as heroes. Also contains a Quartermaster who sells enhancements. Grandville Arachnos has added a quartet of new R.O.T. installations in the Central Holding Block (CHB) to ensure prison security for their highest security prisoners.

Removed a random metal door that was poking out of the floor. First Ward Moved Vanessa Devore out of the stairs. Labyrinth of Fog When the zone is at +10 Labyrinth Shifts, The Minotaur In The Fog will instantly teleport to their chosen hunt target, making it much faster for raids to find and engage them in combat. The target of the Minotaur at +10 shifts is now announced. Doors found in the Orange 5th Column floor of the map have been removed as the Minotaur had issues pathing through them. Players inside the Font of Malevolence now receive a minor stealth buff to allow raids to assemble within without aggro'ing the central mobs. Fixed a Malevolent Fog spawn point that was misbehaving in the Green Praetorian Lab ceiling. High score of the last run now persists until the Minotaur is defeated again/zone resets so players can view it more easily. Stuck check timer of the Minotaur reduced from 6 minutes to 60 seconds. Contacts Reveal hidden contents Wes Schnabel Fixed legacy contact from stopping giving missions too early. Tasks [Focused Feedback] Reveal hidden contents Incarnate Trial - 'Minds of Mayhem' Minds of Mayhem script has been re-written from SZE to Lua. In general, the trial should play exactly as before, just with better performance. The following are the only intentional changes: Added a swirly teleporter FX when using Desdemona's portals. Some of the UI advice was moved to the top of the UI window rather than the bottom, and the stage names are shown in the title bar. Malaise's Nightmare summons will dynamically select the nightmare based on which is most needed by the league for badge credit and hasn't been summoned yet. Added Quill and The Unnamed One to the Malaise Nightmares pool. A Perfect Storm, Daylight Saver and Lost Connection to Server are now awarded as soon as the relevant stage is completed. Suffer in Silence and Shared Suffering will not deal damage after Mother Mayhem is defeated. Remove the "Time until Debilitation" timer, since the power is a click used by an object and not in sync with the timer at all. Desdemona will offer a free rez at the beginning of the final fight, after becoming trapped in Shalice's mind. Increased the time limit of the final fight from three to five minutes. General - Task & Strike Forces The level bracket maximum of Task/Strike Force content is no longer enforced, except for Ms. Liberty and Lord Recluse's (Level 50+ only). Example: Previously the Manticore Task Force was always set at 35, but allowed 30+ characters. Now the Manticore TF's missions would be set at 30 if that's the leader's level, rather than 35+, and presenting those players with +5 or higher enemies. General - Advanced Mode The combat levels on Challenge Arch-villain rank enemies (King Midas, Emperor Romulus, K'ong, etc) can now be seen in their name plate. Nectanebo's Curse Breaker: Can now be used during Advanced Mode content to cleanse Curse of Weariness. Positron Task Force - Part 1 On the finale mission, saving the four heroes and defeating the Circle of Thorns ambush can no longer be skipped. Ms. Liberty Task Force Add a text to the task force intro that mentions the minimum level is always set to 50. Lord Recluse Strike Force Add a text to the strike force intro that mentions the minimum level is always set to 50. Dr. Aeon Strike Force - 'Chasing Fool's Gold' Dimensional ripple doors in the finale mission now have connecting (invisible) door exits, which should help Battle Becky and other pets path through them with more consistency. Christine Lansdale - 'The Mysterious General Z' Fixed clue not granting during arc. Misc typo/misnaming fixes. Doc Buzzsaw - 'The Freakish Lab of Dr. Vahzilok, Act 2' Fix for possibly bypassing the "Bile Powers Down" trigger in Buzzsaw finale. Trigger location moved to pipe exit at radius of 100ft. Should be much better now for him. Sister Valeria - 'Glory and Dark Tidings' Sibyl that was named 'Achlys' has been renamed 'Astraia' to prevent unintended Labyrinth of Fog association. Repeatable Kallisti Wharf Missions The Blackwing Liaison will provide heroes with opportunities to fight crime in Kallisti Wharf. Chip will provide villains lucrative criminal ventures in Kallisti Wharf. Both contacts are currently easiest to find via the Contact Finder feature.

the1egend1ives Posted June 8 Posted June 8 I'm confused by the sleep mechanics. Upon taking damage, do enemies continue to stay asleep ONLY if they have deep sleep? If so, that means that only controller sleeps get a buff, since controller buffs are the only ones that stack and cause deep sleep. Any other sleep, like the Poison Gas Arrow from Trick Arrow, will continue to be ineffective in combat, since enemies will take damage instantaneously from other powers.
Trigga-Happy Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Time to delete my axe/rad tank.... Thanks. You basically slowed recharge time and increased cast time plus took the only good tank pull and made it resistible lol your turning a Tank into a weak pushover. A tank is supposed to lead the way for it's team not hide in the back because you now have the resistance down to a scrapper ! ........ BUT good job you made the bubbles pretty. 2
DREAMERS Posted June 10 Posted June 10 For the pyrotechnic control I was mainly expecting powers that make you forget the target like mass placate well yes the fireworks are there to placate 1

I know this is old and you may have already figured it out but the sleep stacking change is separate from the addition of Deep Sleep. Sleep stacking, as you noted, is mostly relevant to controllers who might have enough sleep powers and/or recharge to stack their sleeps. The Deep Sleep isn't related to stacking; it's just a different kind of sleep that may stay in effect if the target takes damage, depending on how much damage and the rank of the target. A lot of powers were converted to Deep Sleep.

NO WARRANTY Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Q.O.L. REQUEST If there's room could you put the Umbra Wolf audio howl on cooldown or something? Anything ... Anything at all. That audio file is a weapon and a blatant assault on players. Please. PLEASE!

Or just remove the power altogether. the wolf ends up just spamming that power constantly and it hardly does any damage and worst of all its on IIRC a 2.83s cast for a ST immobilize that has long DOT too. It's awful and ends up just ruining the pet and has needed to be fixed for a long time now!

But as much as they claim they want to balance things, I can't help but notice they only balance one side of the scales. Some ATs remain rather untouched, while others have been given several passes. I am not saying changes are bad. But I don't believe for an instant that "balance" is their goal. You may disagree, and that is fine. We are both entitled to our opinion on the matter. And I like to farm. And the only people I hate are the folks who rant about offensive or nsfw things on raids. (And reporting seems to do little to no good. I stopped reporting them because I will see the same person on the next raid.) You want to team? Go for it. You want to solo? Go for it. You want to farm? Go for it. You want to play stock market simulator? Go for it. I hope everyone finds the activity they like to do. But let's not pretend that the devs favor some activities over others, or have encouraged some, while discouraging others. The "play your way, all forms of enjoyment are equal" is not really a thing anymore. Best wishes, whatever form of fun you like. Imho, I take issue with the fact that we keep seeing things nerfed, like radiation armor, bio armor, etc, but there's still no numerically sound reason to make a kin melee or a broadsword toon. Elec is no longer a joke when it comes to blasting, which as a lover of elec, makes me veyr happy... and hey, elec armor got buffed too... But there's definitely a feeling to me, too, that farming is worth them nerf batting things specifically, but there's a lack of desire comparatively to fix under performers. Sorry you've had those issues, by the way. 1

Sorry you've had those issues, by the way. Farming isn't the problem. Them favoring some activities, playstyles, ATs, more than others is the problem. And I would argue that for the past 5 years there have been more nerfs than buffs, and I suspect some things that need fixed aren't even on their radar. Some may disagree, and that's fine. Each to their own. But I will have little empathy for folks who complain when what they liked gets nerfed, after the things I liked go through multiple rounds of being nerfed. 1
