Does it really surprise anyone that they omitted the AE changes from the notes? Note that I also think it's dumb, but it's a dumb thing they've been doing forever.
Edit: If they needed MARTy to figure out the rez and ambush changes, there really is no hope. (For anything they do.)
Blue
American Steele: 50 BS/Inv
Nightfall: 50 DDD
Sable Slayer: 50 DM/Rgn
Fortune's Shadow: 50 Dark/Psi
WinterStrike: 47 Ice/Dev
Quantum Well: 43 Inv/EM
Twilit Destiny: 43 MA/DA
Red
Shadowslip: 50 DDC
Final Rest: 50 MA/Rgn
Abyssal Frost: 50 Ice/Dark
Golden Ember: 50 SM/FA
Still don't care for the cluttered badge setup.
And the UI resetting. OK, we're not only a subscriber based game anymore. A free player logs on, gets this bug again and again , complains in Help channel and leaves in disgust.
This should not have gone live =[.
Pinnacle & Virtue:
A bunch of Heroes - Alpha Team, Legion of Order.
A bunch of Villains -Black Citadel , Pinnache.
MARTy is a catch all, not the only solution. MARTy prevents exploits from being onerous while the devs figure out a permanent fix.

INSPIRATIONS: Effect of Inspirations taken BEFORE entering an AE mission will be stripped off the character. So, have a boss fight you're buffing up for and hoping to have other insps in the tray as you go on? Forget it. |

BvP or Bases vs. Players.
A new feature for the Base Building Community and the PvP Community at once.
No, not really. We're looking into this.

Wait, no it's not. |
How does the game code work again?
Sup.

Well, I'll be taking a break from the game until these issues are fixed. My sub renewal date is a couple days away too, so I might delay my resubbing until the fixes arrive.

"Custom enemies." Given I don't know where things will spawn, and my system can load slowly, I'll grab a breakfree (especially on squishies,) possibly some purples, eat those and restock, especially on lowbie to mid level characters that don't have a lot of inspiration room. Just so I'm not killed while loading, and am ready to go as soon as I enter.

If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

There's plenty of good stuff in I21.5 - the BvP bug is just a bonus |

A fix for the resetting UI is already in an upcoming build.

Seriously, Zwil, just sayin', but BvP? I know it's a bug right now, and I know that in its current form it should prolly be swatted, but still...MAKE IT SO. I am sticking a Danger Room in my base this afternoon. I am sooooo not kidding.
too many more warnings and she wont be posting anymore :P

Poo.
Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.
You do know that you can't place mobs in AE? That they use the standard spawn points in the maps? That they can be set to patrol? That some can be near the entrance - just like in regular missions?
Yes, you can work around it by ambushes, but hazardous mobs can be there in normal missions too.

Well, by fixing it that would mean that they'd found out what was causing it, so they could use that as the start of the code to enable hostile base items.

Thanks for the info Zwill, but if it was already addressed in an upcoming build, why push this build live? This bug effects a majority of players (F2P, Premium, & VIP), if not all of them (AFIAK). Seems like a bad decision to push this patch out, even with the new Incarnate abilities (that only VIP players can access).

So, I haven't checked out any of the other new stuff in this release, because I have been gleefully floating and rotating objects in my base. I don't have a base with the suddenly possessed defensive items in it...though I'm thinking long and hard about adding that room.|

Seriously Zwill, from what I've seen in the Help channel and on here, most of us base editors actually LIKE this bug. The ability to make a danger room would be so fun...if you guys could figure out a way for us to 'toggle' the aggressive tendencies so we could still use the items decoratively in room we want to have them in.

I wondered about that...I had that a couple times randomly over the last week.|

(I think that's the correct command).

Good to know Zwill, thanks for keeping us updated.|

@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
As it is, this makes me shelve mine until it's fixed. And mine's my favorite character.
I'm working on the assumption that it's a bug and will be fixed shortly. If it STAYS that way, I'm going to be severely disappointed. (And add it to the list.)
