Please post all Telekinesis feedback here: https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/championsonline#/discussion/1208644/telekinesis-changes-discussion-thread


Please use this thread for any of the other changes.
__________________________________________________________________





Lockbox
  • Added Mind Blink teleport power to the debugger.



Misc
  • Addressed a bug where some open missions could ignore their reward scoring table. This caused some open missions to occasionally grant rewards based on the default method, which awards players based on how well they performed score wise to one another (so the top percentages of players would receive a prize, while the rest would get a default reward).
  • This should address any incident where players who met the open mission minimum scoring but did not receive the proper reward.
  • Added Fireball Roll travel power to the debugger.
  • Added Fire Speed travel devices to the debugger.



Archetypes
Disciple
  • Added a choice between Ego Blade Lunge or Telekinetic Lariat.
  • Added a choice between Ego Blade Breach or Telekinetic Shards.



Power Changes
  • Fixed a bug where Ego Blades was using an outdated formula for how the Ego stat scaled its melee damage bonus. Whoops.
  • Dependancy will no longer heal targets above 95% health. This will allow it to pick targets that can use the healing instead of healing the closest entity to the target.
  • Reduced max stack count of Dependancy, Stress and Regret to 3, values adjusted. These buffs can now stack to 3 per user.


Ego Weaponry
  • Made some timing adjustments to ego weaponry's double hit on the third attack so it hits when you visually hit the target.
  • Ego Leech's chance to apply is now guaranteed while affected by Ego Infusion.
  • Lowered the initial chances of applying Ego Leech.
  • Increased the activation time on this power's last hit to 0.83 (from 0.75). Damage has been adjusted for the activation change.


Mind Break
  • Will no longer rupture other user's stacks of Stress, Dependency or Regret.
  • Adjusted effects for new stack caps.


Dark Tether
  • Updated fx.


New Power: Telekinetic Lariat
  • Knocks target to you and applies a stack of Ego Leech.
  • Unlike other Lariat powers this power has no charge time.
  • Advantage: Inner Peace
  • Advantage: Nailed to the Ground


Telekinetic Assault
  • Moved to Tier3.
  • Base damage increased. Cost increased.
  • No longer applies Ego Leech.
  • No longer inherently gains crit chance based on Ego Leech stacks.
  • Gains bonus damage based on stacks of Ego Leech on you.
  • Removed Siphoning Strikes and Stressed Out advantages.


New Power: Telekinetic Strikes
  • Tier 0 combo ranged power.
  • Has a chance to apply Ego Leech each hit. This chance becomes guaranteed if affected by Ego Infusion.
  • Advantage: Siphoning Strikes
  • Advantage: Stress Out
  • FX are placeholder.


Ego Blade Breach
  • Moved to Tier 2.
  • Slightly increased damage.
  • Removed Stun.
  • New Advantage: Snares targets. Knocks down when fully charged.


New Power: Ego Blade Astonish
  • Basic melee stun attack.
  • Advantage: Trauma

    Nothing can be tested in the PTS at it's current state. The server seems to be very unstable currently. The normal servers seem fine, but the PTS is unplayable with the connection issues.

    I dunno, I got the ol' heave-ho from the game a couple of times today. Both times I was in instances, too, requiring a re-start from scratch, which is always delightful.

    Telekinetic Assault

    Moved to Tier3.
    Base damage increased. Cost increased.
    No longer applies Ego Leech.
    No longer inherently gains crit chance based on Ego Leech stacks.
    Gains bonus damage based on stacks of Ego Leech on you.
    Removed Siphoning Strikes and Stressed Out advantages.


    A staple ranged TK attack used to build Ego Leach stacks no longer adds ego leach but is boosted by Ego Leach.
    Is New Power: Telekinetic Strikes is this a sword or ranged power (Replacement Ego Leach builder).

    Can't wait to get to PTS.

    Soo... did you fix the scaling or did you change it to strength? I'm 80% certain you guys didn't change it to Strength but.. just to be sure, you know?

    That asides, whilst not having tested these more recent changes, they seem interesting.

    Back in 2012 the strength melee damage formula was changed, Ego Blade's Ego stat scaling was not adjusted with it.
    This patch changes the scaling formula on Ego Blades to match the current one strength uses. It still scales off of Ego.​​

    but what if I want to remain DEX melee TK DPS and not invest on EGO?​​

    Seems like nothing would change, if you weren't using Ego for your superstats.

    Does this mean going Strength will boost TK Blades with greater damage? Cause testing this on Live as it is, the damage between Ego and Str is relatively the same.
    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."

    would love to provide a more conlusive answer.. but the PTS is borked atm...

    Heyas, we've found out the issue with PTS and should have it resolved in a few hours. Will post again once it is resolved.​​

    If I could get some rocks on my TK Maelstrom again that'd be greaaaat. It mixes up the monotony of nothing but big pink bubble gum powers.
