An amazing amount of changes and updates, as well as the new lair.
Good show, Devs.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
Im happy with this update, tho it whuold be nice if the Mind Control Power, can be fixed, really need it done.
New lockbox should finish a collection on the Lockbox cards I think. (Toxic, Frozen, Collector I believe. Please let me know if I have that wrong.)
Are we getting something for getting that stamp?

As for why it was changed, I understand that. But why suddenly *just* the powers listed here when there are others that are vastly overperforming as well? Some even moreso than Mental Storm was. Why not wait until there's a moment to do a pass on all of the overperforming powers?

Mental Storm does not gain a base cooldown reduction per rank like Shadow of Doubt and Mental Leech do. That is what Cyrone meant.
Mental Storm is affected by CDR gear however.
EDIT reason: Bad spelling is bad!

[Edit:] Apparently you have to discard the items from your inventory and reclaim them from the Z-Store bonus tab.
What's broken with them? Do you mean how it has a steeper downward angle when using it compared to Teleport? If so, I believe that's by design, as it has always done that.
Get the Forums Enhancement Extension!
I really doubt the Gravity Pull-SPAZZ animation is Working as Intended
Soooo, Yeah I'ma pass this one.
@Chimerafreek
It feels like the difficulty was just 'Lawl, lets give the bosses a bunch of adds and instagib switches and see who completes it."
It's allso hell on Silver Players and I dont see anyone completing it with a cast of only silver archetypes. Blade or Soldier? Prepare to be murdered.
This lair is not what I wanted from the new content. Challenge is fine, for people who want that sort of thing. Leting me go in, die, then try and scoure the damned entry text to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing? Cybermind had the same issue. You guys dont explain things very well.
I dont need the gear and I dont care about the costume pieces. I'll wait until the next piece of content, or I'll wait until the inevitable nerfs. BTW? Adds doing half my health on a tanky DPS? -Adds-? YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR. IT"S TIME TO STOP.
Cupid@Tool-box, stunningly radiant stag ready to play matchmaker between villain and arrow!
Vixon@Tool-box, frighteningly eager to summon despair for his adversaries!
Jebin Zedalu@Tool-box, elementalist weaponmaster. ...One of these things is not like the others!
Yes Controllers were sooo overpowered.... good to nip that in the bud.
Maybe control powers should be "officially" made into auras since they're mostly a visual effect or turned into devices like Disco Ball, since they're about on the same level of crowd control..
Not allowing travel powers is painful and makes the fight feel like walking through a molasses pit. A molasses pit covered in green pee. Seriously, the Grond clone needs to see a doctor.
I might give this fight another go with my main after the disappointment wears off. Thankfully, I dropped the dodge on her a long time ago, so the fight won't be sad on that front. I might get other roadblocks with people not willing to take a sub 10K HP toon that has zero experience with the fights.
Why is it even allowed to PUG queue TA? It's a horrible experience. Being put into a team already in progress, running up 2 floors of nothing to catch up, and then having everyone drop is also the suck.

It seems like the biggest mechanic in these fights is dealing with the massive damage output. It's not fun or interesting, so I'm probably going to largely ignore the tower.
This update has been disappointing for me with the extra grind and new content that isn't fun.

I actually wanted only the costumes, not the gear!
But seeing how much they cost... NOPE! The Lair and the Mission only gave me 12 Gold Reg and took 4-5 hours!
NOPE NOPE NOPE!
Females get the Accesory available for both legs without a Problem
Bug: Armadillo Primary Defense part: The Primary Defense part of the set is GONE from the Questionite store
25 foot Sphere! Are you freaking kidding? this ruins the attack from RANGE
How exactly does that benefit the power
Now Im forced to use it ONLY when im in enemie's melee range, making him useless against bosses
What the hell? How does this benefit the power?
Generally my DoT Telepathy character got Screwed over! but again CO hates Crowd Control and Telepathy
Not sure why they reduced the range tho, they aren't exactly what you'd call over-performing, they removed their ability to crit awhile back to, I do agree CC needs an update.
I take this quote from a review that I agree with.
"customisation is so linear; everyone is after the optimal dps:survivability ratio with 0 reliance on other players = autonomous gameplay... Players don't need each other anymore... which in my opinion is a bad thing."
LMFAO!

Not only it screwd up my build
can't command the Sprites to attack the target and the range is pathetic short
THIS IS AWEFUL!
again I ask how does this BENEFIT THE POWER?
Thanks a Million for Ruining Ego Sprites DEV!
Just delete Telepathy from existance while you are it
Suggestion: TURN IT BACK or INCREASE THE RANGE!
I prefer the previous version, myself.

My question is, WHY. The only thing wrong with ego sprites was that they disappeared (both applications) if you blocked immediately afterward. The Mind already has a PBAoE at level 35. Otherwise the power was one of the best in the game.
Not anymore. Now the devs have decided to be butt-bones and change ego sprites to a PBAoE. There is no logical reason for this, and the power isn't as useful as it was before. I like some of the other changes listed, but this one sticks in my craw. No matter how much I think about it, I can't see how it's better. It's now next to useless. Thanks a lot devs, you really know how to be jerks.

Block timing explained
Cloak of the Infinite Planes:
The item no longer plays any sounds during the animation. There is seemingly no VFX on hit anymore, either.

As for Medusa, that massive AoE attack was cleaving my HP through a r2 block. How is someone with heroics that isn't a tank supposed to live through that? And the orbs were wonky. The first fight, the orbs spawned and nothing happened when I tried to pick them up. I even moved over to another orb near-by, but didn't pick it up. The second fight, standing near the orb just magically picked it up.
