    Added Brushed Metal material to Teleios back costume. Fixed detail map issue.

    Will there ever be plans to add additional textures to other Costume Parts & Sets as well?

    It just gets irksome when you're trying to work on a Costume & there aren't enough Glass or Brushed Metal or Holo Hex Materials to go around.

    Does the XP bonus count for all enemies in CO, or is it only those that specifically spawn in Millennium City?

    And how much is the XP bonus, 20%? 50%?

    thanks
    :)

    I liked having the aura attached to the ability. Now either I have to buy an aura slot or lose the aesthetic the ability provided. Yay for more cash grabs.

    I'd like those pieces with only one material to get at least cloth, leather and metal. That'd be a good start.

    Any chance the Steel Arachnid boots get glass so they can match the ENTIRE REST OF THE SET instead of looking like a dork with ice texture or Cinderella's Glass Slippers from last years subscriber monthly?

    From what I can see from the Aura vendor it's the circular effect like Pestilence has, I think people were expecting the infernal cloud aura surrounding your body instead, but it's not so...
    Want to get to know me a bit better, Click me and take a read of My Dragon Profile Page, it's a bit dated but still relevant.

    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."

    Added Aspect of the Infernal Aura to the Questionite/aura token stores.

    Ehm, the preview image of the Aspect of the Infernal Aura has the Visuals of the Pestilence aura...​​

    Added Scales aura to the Drifter store.
    Hmmm weren't also costume aura versions of this? (chest, bracers, shoulderpads e.t.c)

    Full character aura is ugly, it makes the character look like a gimp :confused:​​

    Yes, I think every costume piece should have at least those 3. Sometimes you want to match parts from different sets but one only has metal and other only has cloth or leather. A lot of armor chests, for example, only have metal materials.

    Is there an ETA on fixing the Bluejay Mantle?

    Also, can we get rid of the horrible white spot on the dragon eye belt that appeared there a couple patches back? It looks cartoonish and has messed up several of my costumes.

    Mostly great but now I have to let go of one of radioactive cosmonauts' auras to replace the infernal one. Ah well.

    Here to echo previous commenters on the Aspect of the Infernal Aura preview showing the wrong FX. Any ETA on a fix?
    Please let players temporarily turn off XP!
  • tenebriswolftenebriswolf Posts: 54 Arc User
    I don't understand. The FX for Aspect of the Infernal is removed for what reason ? And why are people pleased by it ? It looked kinda cool on those of my characters who used it. Any way to have it back ?

    To put it simply, majority hated the FX on their specific toons. There are those who want to use Aspect of the Infernal passive w/o the FX.

    Unfortunately, the current Aspect of the Infernal Legacy Aura doesn't give off the dark aura-ish effect. It's more of a colored overhead w/ the occasional wisp at the legs.

    Looks like Eido's countdown does not begin until combat starts. Is this change intentional to allow players more time to organize or is it not intended, since it was not in the patch notes?

    1. People HATED the forced aura Visuals which would stuck on default colours
    2. For better performance and reducing more than 8 Aura stacking
    3. Outdated Mechanic similar to the passived which used to have auras attached to them
    4. People HATED the aura

    Comment on that: Due to fx taking up memory/total fx draw calls (only so many fx can run on screen before things that to vanish), we really don't want auras on things like passives, toggles, etc as it causes players to take up more resources than intended. The slot cap is there for a reason, and any power/device that has a 'always on' aura will likely see it removed and converted into a aura at some point.

    I asked Kaizerin, got the impression it's not new -- the timer starts when someone enters a trigger region, and normally some overly eager person triggers it before combat.

    So funny that someone triggering the timer happened so much that we just assumed it started right away. Knowing this, since we have more time, maybe we can organize the teamup a bit better to spread the damage more evenly across the greens and take more time ensuring we have the right roles present.

    (also dunno why I commented in this thread....guess I only looked at the latest reply and assumed it was the latest set of notes)
