Discussion: Issue 23: Where Shadows Lie - [LIVE] - June 26, 2012 Patch Notes

USER INTERFACE

• Fixed a bug where macros would not be created in tray slots under certain conditions.

• Fixed a bug where the client could have incorrect information about the status of powers after switching builds.

• Fixed a bug where dragging a power off of the server-controlled power tray could cause the system to accidentally copy a power back into the server-controlled power tray.

• Fixed a bug where windows could pop off of the edge of the screen after loading window positions from a file where the windows were saved at a scale less than 100%.

• New tailor parts now default to light/dark gray colors.

• Fixed some texture issues which made the lower half of some Boleros to appear darker than the top half.

• Arcane, Elegant, Wing and Imperial Dynasty Boleros should be corrected.

• Removed Sister Psyche's task force and added Penelope Yin's task force to the LFG list.

• Fixed a bug that would prevent you from receiving the passive boost from Hybrid Incarnate powers after switching from one power to another within the same tier of the same tree.

• Hybrid Assault and Hybrid Control boosts now properly persist when a player zones between two maps.

• Fixed an issue where many Control Radial abilities were more effective than intended in PvP.

• Fixed an issue where Control Radial t4's Stun proc would almost never occur in PvP.

• Doublehit has been changed to no longer work with Judgement powers. This is consistent with Assault Core abilities being unable to boost the damage of Judgement powers. Doublehit still works in all other damage-enhanceable powers.

• Control Radial Genome now properly shuts off after 2 minutes of activation.

• Hybrid toggles now toggle off after their maximum duration is reached if the player logs out with the toggle active.

• Incarnate Hybrid passive buffs now properly apply when switching between two powers of the same tier in the same tree.

• All players in the Tyrant fight in Magisterium will now properly receive their temporary level shifts for each Light of the Well destroyed.

• Players can no longer accept alignment change reward tables while on a PvP map.

• Fixed a bug where you would be able to use the Panther Stealth Power while not in Panther Travel Form if you previously died while in panther form.

• Stalker Sweep combo once more properly affects all targets within a 15 foot radius when Ablating Strike is used.

• Dark Control: Possess now functions in PvP outside of Domination.

• Some Night Ward badges were using incorrect art. This has been corrected.

• Changed the villain version of Positron's Pal to be Positron's Nemesis.

• The final waypoint in Lastri Kayumanis's first mission now correctly appears over First Officer Harriman

• Fixed an issue where players were receiving a delay in obtaining the final reward table.

• Manticore now spawns properly in Mission 3 of Wavelength's storyarc.

• Investigate Freaks in TV - Fixed an issue where the hostages could not be led out of the map.

• Eternal Guard: Taunt's cooldown has been increased from 10 seconds up to 15 seconds. It is now flagged as a Debuff, so that it is only used by Guards who have been attacked in some way.

• Trilogy - Mercenary will now appear up to a maximum level of 54, rather than 44.

• Portal Corporation - Fixed an issue where Unai Kemen's missions were directing players into Dark Astoria.

Missing notice of new UI power icons for pets.

Stalker Sweep combo once more properly affects all targets within a 15 foot radius when Ablating Strike is used.


... and there was much rejoicing, and playing of drums and tambourines, and feasts held where the revelers ate of the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals..

But none could tell, as all those in attendance were Stalkers, and so the food seemed to magically disappear and the air itself belched in happiness

(Also, while not related, I like the charles atlas-style reference in the launcher...)

See my Guides and Tutorials

i personally didnt see a problem with the control hybrid, it was the only way a melee could actually take down a ranged toon in pvp without them running and jumping all over the place, and i especially dont like the "fix" they made to it since now it does absolutly nothing in pvp zones.

however im glad they fixed the panther and dark holds.

No fixes the to the combat attributes window. In particular, the status protection contains no listing for taunt and placate. Some character have protection/resistance for these, ie, Night Widow or so says the powers description. This matters with issue 23, since GMs have taunt, and they forgot to mention every thing else including minions do to.

These updates look great. I imagine we'll see a lot more Really Hard Way attempts now that it's that much simpler to get the Hard Way if things go south.

Any chance we could get those Black Knight's armor pieces released to the public?

I noticed that IOs such as Stealth, Kismet+Acc, Num+Regen, etc will no longer double stack when you zone quickly. Was that with this patch or did I miss it in a previous patch?

I've been unable to load my main badger since this update. The game client crashes as soon as I click on her name. I've tried this on 4 different computers. I've filed a support ticket and I'm hoping they can get the problem resolved. So far I'm not liking this patch.

The Balck Knights also taunt - I think it's one of the NPC upgrades they're rolling out to try and combat our vast levels of power

I agree we need some kind of challenge. The problem really came to light doing the new night ward arc. I ran into one group started on them, got taunted, crap. Start looking for the taunter, then another group, guess it was close enough to aggro on me, get taunted from another group. Staff set does not have a long range attack, so screwed. It got worse, as Smiling_Joe mentioned, about citizens pushing hero, that also applies to enemy npc, got pushed to a cave wall, surrounded by mobs from 2 groups, can't push past them, getting yoyoed by 2 taunters that both are out of range. If it was not for lightning field and eye of the storm, don't know what I would have done, those being the only 2 attacks I could use, both taunters are out of range, finally able defeat enough of the mobs to chase after first one then the other taunter. Rest of the missions I would taunt a group, got to get out of line of sight since the group taunter would not move until, so much for my minus range, rant, another power that does not work as stated. The devs have got their back up when people have questioned the 'real numbers', well here is a case that clearly is broken, and seems like they have blown it off. I want them to fix it, there are a lot things I want them to fix, but, they have no intention to, so oh well.
