COMBINED

Paragon Reward Program - Fire and Ice Costume Set

  • The Fire and Ice costume set is now available through the Paragon Rewards program to our VIP customers. This set is split into three sections: Fire and Ice 1 contains the base pieces of the Fire set, Fire and Ice 2 contains the base pieces for the Ice set, and Fire and Ice 3 contains the various component pieces and weapons. Enjoy!

User Interface
  • A character's fog of war on zone maps will no longer reset after logging in as different characters without quitting the game.
  • Disabled debt message if level-capped, influence-capped, and no debt to work off.

Rewards
  • Claiming all veteran rewards at once should maintain the correct bonuses.

Character Creation / Tailor
  • Lighten/Darken effect in the costume menu should now scale properly with widescreen resolutions.
  • The ear option in the Standard head category has been updated to offer both skin and colored versions.
  • The "Combat Auras" category has been renamed to "Cyborg Auras."
  • Fixed a problem where attempting purchase the Gunslinger boots from the character creation or tailor screens would not take the user to the correct purchase page for the item selected.
  • Fixed a problem where purchasing the basic female Gunslinger gloves from character creation would not successfully unlock them.
  • Added the basic female Gunslinger gloves to the robes category.

POWERS

General
  • Selecting the Vanguard Bow for Trick Arrow should no longer cause Beam Rifle or Assault Rifle effects to emit from the player's knee. These effects now properly emit from the gun's muzzle.
  • Fixed Celestial Rifle hand placement in the Assault Rifle powerset, as well as the placement of its flamethrower component.
  • Changed Titan Weapon ninja run completely, so it now uses a left handed version of ninja run, which fixes an issue where the character's weapon would pop out of their hand.
  • Updated female hands holding Titan Weapon on ninja run. The weapon no longer floating away from female hands.
  • Vorpal Total Radial Judgement and Vorpal Radial Final Judgement now properly provide their entire defense boost when used against enemies above the level of the user.
  • The Hitpoints and Regeneration boosts provided by Vigor Core Paragon should now properly ignore 2/3s of diminishing returns on enhancement values.
  • Adjusted the female Flying Carpet stance so that shoulder pads should no longer clip into the head.
  • Summon Warwolf from Undead Survival Kit long help has been updated to reflect that the pet will in fact zone with you.
  • Positional and ranged defense bonuses from the IDF and Robotic Drone support pets now last the same duration, and all properly suppress if the support pet is held, stunned, or slept.
  • Fixed an issue where Titan Weapon - Plasma Sword's glow effects would cause the weapon to appear transparent.

Inspirations
  • Increased duration of Inspirations purchased from the Paragon Market (or acquired from the Paragon Rewards Program) to 5 minutes. This only Includes Inspirations that have a duration.
  • These Inspirations with a duration will now persist through defeat.

TASKS

Mission Architect
  • Corrected an issue where Tickets in Mission Architect were being distributed unevenly between different members of the team.

Freedom Tutorial
  • Clicking on the store icon in the dialog box to purchase the Knowledgeable badge will close the dialog box.

Signature Story Arc Episode 4 - Hero
  • An issue in the third mission where non-task owners could speak with Sister Psyche in the Rikti Base was fixed.

Incarnate Rewards
  • The 60 thread reward in the Underground Incarnate Trial is now awarded even if the group doesn't succeed at the conditions for the 'Regenerate This' badge.

Incarnate Trial - TPN Campus
  • Maelstrom will now avoid using Crane Kick on a target who has been hit by his Crane Kick within the previous 15 seconds.
  • The damage on Maelstrom's teleporting Crane Kick has been reduced by 66%.

Incarnate Trial - Minds of Mayhem
  • The Nightmares during the Malaise battle have been re-examined and adjustments have been made to their difficulty. Crystal Titan and Deathsurge in particular have been weakened, while Bat'Zul and Eochai have been strengthened. All Nightmares have also seen a general reduction in the duration of their crowd control effects.

Atlas Park Missions
  • Rocket Board and other Walk-class powers will now be properly disabled during the "disguise missions" in the Matthew Habashy and Sondra Costel arcs.

Maria Jenkins
  • Fixed an issue where Sister Psyche was not present for the mission "Find Statesman".

Ghost Widow Patron Arc
  • Fixed an issue where Ghost Widow was giving out her second arc to players who were beneath level 40.

Could this possibly mean that I22 Beta is not far away- as in this week later.....?

Nice fat update. Spiffy.

Too bad the Booster Packs aren't live just yet.

Somehow I missed the inspiration thing. That's fairly spiffy. Yay for a reason to actually want inspirations from the Paragon Market (or Paragon Rewards).

Edit: It looks like I missed it because it wasn't in the beta version of the same patch's notes. (Or possibly it wasn't in that build, but that would be kind of odd.)


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

Good luck with that. The Character Copy Tool is reported to be broken again.

The OCR team has been notified and I suspect they have notified the group that works on the Copy Tool but we've not gotten any updates about it.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

It was in the build, but was not in the official patch notes.

Not sure if it was just an oversight or if they were trying to stealth it in somehow (odd thing to do it on though).

Well crap. I was hoping I could get the rest of the celestial set. Only got one of the three

Where the hell do I find the Fire and Ice costume sets? I put the tokens in the slots and it said I can now access them at the tailor—but when I went to the tailor and looked through the list of costume sets, they weren't there. Celestial was, but no Fire or Ice.

I really wish they'd make them easier to find. Like set aside a separate section at the top of the list for costume sets you bought or otherwise unlocked.

So far as I know, they're still in there.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, these act more like persistent temp powers then? Even if I get faceplanted because the RNG hates me after purple popping, I get to keep the +Def if I rez?

If so, these were just made useful.

So you're saying you like the Fire and Ice so much you will be getting those instead, first?

Because, the Celestial ones are still there, as has been noted.

Does that means that they can become adventurers again?

With only one week to go, she probably didn't think that it was worth it

That would have been funnier if you'd phrased it as "beneath her notice"

I'm 4 tokens from tier 9 VIP ._. And 7 total for getting every thing.... Can't afford the last 7 right now.. And even if the celestial ones are on there still....... For how long? It be nice if they just stacked it permenanly so you can get both instead of switching them

Wow! So toons with the vanguard bow were giving their player super powers!? Even shooting beams from your knees is pretty cool.

Yay! New VIP cossie bits...booo I got impatient and spent one of my stacked tokens the other night, but least I have 2 left

Thank you! I'd been unable to edit a character's costume for a while now because of that bug.

Looking forward to seeing Fire and Ice around, too. Those phoenix wings look saweet.

Oh no! I have 4 Reward tokens saved up because I'm maxed out in the shrubbery, what *ever* will I do? <yoinks Fire and Ice for assorted toons who're likely to get costume upgrades>

Hoo-Bleedin'-RAY!


Shame the 'history' of where all my toons have been in various zones since their creation has been lost

So my squishies who step out of a broadcast area should no longer only be saved from instaplant by the one shot code when he decides to teleport halfway across the map to kick me in the face? Good-oh.

Oh good, I only put in a bug report regarding that one about a year ago...

(on the 10th of November 2010, according to my email receipt, so exactly 14 months ago in that case. o_O)

Good set of fixes all told and if you can ignore my natural pessimism/cynicism, then you may notice I seem rather pleased by the whole thing... Assuming nothing else got horribly broken in the process


Warning:

The above post may contain Cynicism, sarcasm and/or pessimism. If you object to the quantities contained, then tough.
