Destroids Rise Again!
  • Fixed a bug with the Memorial Park peacekeeping mission where the summoned Destroids would not become attackable.
  • Added voiceover for when the Mega Destroids Uplink, Reroute or Power Transfer.
  • Made some adjustments to the Mega Destroid AI so they won't get stuck in their targeting phase, causing them to not do anything.
  • Moved the hologram post so the Mega Destroids won't get caught up in it if fighting in that area.
  • Mobs around the Retribution devices are much more aggressive to aggro to nearby players.
  • Added Full Body Blot Aura and Blot (Wings) Aura as potential drops from the open mission.
  • Slightly reduced the initial damage boost for the Power Transfer buff.
  • Increased the chance for the Portable Robot Factory to summon a robot to 35% (from 25%).
  • Increased the range of your target where it can summon a Robot to 100ft.
  • Increased the durability of the Portable Robot Factory.



Gold Sub Reward
  • Added Feather Mask as the monthly sub reward.



Collector Lockbox
  • Added Arcane Flight unlock, Arcane Flight travel device, Anapa Loyal Sidekick, Arcane Mage costume unlock, Anubis Head costume unlock, Spinal Glow Tights costume unlock, Tiki Staff weapon skin, Trident weapon skin, Floating Candle Aura, Will-O-The-Wisp Aura, Floating Orbs Aura, Translucent Floating Orbs Aura, Sacred Aura and Crashing Incantation power unlock to the Collector Store.



Misc
  • Wrist Bolter, Ball Lightning, Incendiary Rounds, Stone Shot, Wield Earth and Life Essence FX will no longer scale to target.
  • Corrected Expulse/Pillar of Poz Rank 2 and 3 tic rate tooltips.
  • Added the following categories to the auction house: Core Mod, Enhancement Mod, Armoring Mod, Defense System, Weapon System, Emotes.
  • Note: Due to how the auction house works existing listings won't show up in them. Newly listed items will.
  • The old Mod category will stick around for 2 weeks before being removed, but all newly listed mods will be sorted into the new categories.
  • Rearranged auction house categories and color coded them.
  • In order to queue for Nemesis Confrontation you now need to be in a minimum team of 5 players. This is being done as a workaround fix as the queue had a tendency to get stuck if players of various team sizes queued for it.

    I'm loving the Feather mask Kai, ty =)

    It's nice having two variations on a theme and I really like bird themed stuff..... very iconic.

    I've been playing as a healer many times during the open mission and it was painful enough LOL

    there is no way a tank/anyone can aggro 30~ enemies, so the healer will always get the most attention

    but cool updates anyway.

    "Wrist Bolter, Ball Lightning, Incendiary Rounds, Stone Shot, Wield Earth and Life Essence FX will no longer scale to target."

    Submachinegun Burst has the bullets that appear far above the the machine gun and won't appear on the screen unless zoomed far out.

    Yeah, a tanking power that generates global threat (the way healing does) would be nice.

    I've not tried it but what if you where to use a mind drain/ challenge setup for a tank? it heals and applies challenge.

    Was going to post the same. This could be problematic.

    Tanking the damage isn't that hard, but applying threat to all of them is tough. There's an awful lot of crap around the retribution devices.

    Movement + PbAoE w Challenge + getting there first takes care of it in my experience.

    Did you try remapping them? Sometimes the game forgets settings.

    Any more categories and I'll have to strongly suggest adding scrollbar functionality to the category list. I love these additions to the AH.​​

    I have been meaning to post this for days now, but damn ADHD kept getting in the way.

    My only guess is because the Back piece (Small wings) has always been free in tailor (Its even in the preview image)
    The code thinks you have already unlocked it despite the mantle part not being available for free


    *Muffle*Why nobody noticed that in PTS?*Muffle*

    I don't know about other summon devices, but [Gadroon Mercenary Contract] and [Portable Robotic Factory] both says that "you cannot have more than one of this device equipped.", but you cannot either have them toggled simultaneously and I believe this isn't stated anywhere. Tho whatever, I don't really care anymore what you do if your customer support continues to be what it is. I just came to tell this on behalf of other players who would maybe want to use them simultaneously.

    isn't that true of all permanent backup devices? Seriously, you can choose which one you want, but only one.
