I17 Live Patch Notes -- Bugs and Updates

Issue 17 Release Notes here


Costumes

• The Live Patch Notes added "Armor" to the list of costume sets that have been specially updated to take advantage of Ultra Mode features. What is meant is "Armor Plate" because not all armor skins have been updated.

• Vanguard is listed as a UM updated, however, both in the tailor and in the world, I do not see any reflections off of Vanguard pieces (I checked Chest > Tight > Vanguard and Chest > Armor > Vanguard).

• Dig
• Picklock
• Spraypaint
• Jackhammer
• Warmhands

• pamphlet
• vendor
• batlookout (hold bat in the quickmenu)

• Dual Pistols > Hail of Bullets: Increased this power's overall average damage scale from 3.034 to 3.63 by increasing both the damage done per tick from .444 scale damage to .454 scale damage as well as increasing the chance for this power to deal damage per tick from 50% to 60%. Additionally when using this power, the user will gain a moderate bonus to their melee, ranged and AoE defense for 5 seconds. This defense bonus is unenhanceable and will only apply to the caster if it hits an enemy target within range. Specifically, Blasters gain 9.75% M/R/A, Corruptors gain 11.25% M/R/A, and Defenders gain 15% M/R/A.

• Fix Unenhanceable Special IOs: The following special IO Enhancements were incorrectly being increased in effect by outside buffs and debuffs. These effects have been changed to be constant and unaffected by Buffs or Debuffs.

• Tempest: Chance for Endurance Drain
• Entropic Chaos: Chance to Heal Self
• Impervium Armor: Psionic Resistance
• Regenerative Tissue: Regeneration
• Miracle: +Recovery
• Call of the Sandman: Chance to Heal Self
• Freebird: Stealth
• Unbounded Leap: Stealth
• Celerity: Stealth
• Time and Space Manipulation: Stealth
• Rectified Reticle: Increased Perception
• Deflated Ego: Chance for Recovery Debuff

Here's another couple of bugs for you, Zombie.

Integration is not displaying any Continuing Visual Effects when toggled on. Neither in the Costume creator, nor in the game. (at least two people that I know of)

It appears that items which had been purchased but not yet collected from the auctions before I17 release cannot be collected. The 'Collect all Inf' button works to collect payment for sold items, but nothing can be removed from the auctions. (I'm not sure how many people this is affecting, but it's more than one, at least)

:edit: Hmm, not sure if this is for bugs with the patch notes, or bugs with the game. I'll leave it here anyway. I /bug'd both of the issues in game anyway.

Also, the Metallic option on test shows it to be very shiney and reflective. On live any character already made can't seem to get this. I have 4 toons that have metallic bodys and such, and none are shiney or reflective. All are dull. When I go to the tailor, the option is still dull and the color is off. I use white and if I try again in the tailor it is a lot more grey. I even tried a fresh costume slot and no go on that too.

If you start a new toon, you are able to use the Metallic option in all it's new glory. This totally sucks for my already created toons.

i got slapped by a memoryleak pretty hard when trying to turn down ultra mode. over 3 gig went to coh.

Until things stabilize, restarting the client, and even sometimes rebooting your computer should be standard operating procedures for every little glitch or huge honking bugs.

Quite frankly, I don't want to even hear about anyone's problems until they've tried a reboot.

I rebooted before playing and had to reboot after killing the process. I havent dared fiddle withe settings any more.

Also theres a bug with the market spam timer that locks you out and you have to restart the client.

The Ninja Braids are still missing from the hair choices..I really liked them, besides which it came in a pack that I paid for. Hope they are availabe again soon.

The Blackwand and Nemesis Staff still have the wonky ground-pull animation. Like to see that fixed too.

I'm facing pretty frequent, random disconnections from the Internet, now, but only when COH is running, after this patch. What gives? =(

Confirming problem with Integration on Regen scrapper has no visual effects aside from the tarzan yell when you start it. It is set for Bright custom color right now but in the tailor none of the options showed. I didn't actually change it to see if it made a difference.

Other than my primary costume slot, all my power colors reverted to original. Cavalier shields won't take a pattern (though when at the tailor, an change cost has been assigned) and the ones that already had it are only showing black
Still can't read my assigned enhancement numbers as they are showing too small, in the enhancement management screen.

Client crash at tailor every time, client crash when making a new charecter, already reported to arbiter kim but thought its worth a mention here too.

Not impressed, every single thing except for the new mission and black market has crashed out since its been updated :/

trying to adjust anything with water settings crashes coh. oh well as an ati user i have gotten used to low quality.

All in all a successful patch

Private Tells on some toons (confirmed by several others) respond with "AUTO REPLY [chat hidden]" to anyone that sends a tell to that toon while that toon is not hiding in any way.

If the toon is also actually hidden, a loop starts and sends several blank tells back and forth between the two characters.

um...is there a particular reason why I can't grab items from the market besides influence/infamy?

Some powersets aren't correctly using custom colors.
My Blaster with Mental Manipulation is showing all default colors, and my Controller with Fire Control is showing mostly default colors, but the imps are still showing the purplish secondary color of the custom colors in their flame aura as a sort of partially obscured aura while mostly using default colors.

New fun bug from last night:

I had 3 copies of Summon SnowBeast from the winter event.
I used 1 of them fighting Protean, but it removed all 3 from my powers. =(

I think I have multiple "Rock" temp powers on another character to see if it applies to all powers that we can have duplicates of.
