    What a time for my Gold account to have run out. Kaizerin, can you (or anyone else really) confirm if this fixes the 'Thugs' type Nemesis minions? Specifically, the bug where they break the Grab Alert bank robbery mission since a spawn doesn't show up (and thus you can't defeat enough to enter). I don't know if they were just missing attacks or if the entire supervillain(spelling? the ones with three bars) rank is missing. Pretty sure it's the latter since an enemy at that same rank in the enemy group used by Nighthawk and Deadman Walkin' is missing attacks but still works. While part of me wants to comment that the look seems wrong for the group, that feels like a separate suggestion. I'm much more concerned about the possibility of a longstanding bug finally getting fixed.



    Separately, updated attack chains sound interesting.

    Not sure even more things encouraging people to turbo past the early levels is a good thing. How about something that instead acts as a QoL improvement for low levels who aren't on their Nth character? Mebbe a temp support type sidekick (perhaps one of the Aftershock sidekicks).

    Can you trade these? They go for 10-20Gs in the AH. It isn't a hugely exploitable way to make money but still.

    Can we have at least the option to have the baseball bat without the foxbat symbol?

    edited March 2018
    Not sure if related to this patch, but I made a sorcery hero about 3 weeks ago exactly 14 days ago from scratch on the pts. Just now I tried to retcon some powers, was told I need a full reset? I saw no power changes in the notes though. Probably just something I'm spacing out on remembering, did anyone else noticed something similar...?

    Power list
    • [Illumination]
    • [Masterful Dodge]
    • [Ego Surge]
    • [Eldritch Bolts]
    • [Star Barrage]
    • [Hex of Suffering]
    • [Imbue]
    • [Spellcaster]
    • [Enchanter]
    • [Stoic Flight]
    Only mentioned it in case something leaked unintentionally.

    And regarding the changes to the Legion Gear, I find this is normal-ish. Since alot of people usually open a bunch of lockboxes when a new one comes out, I say getting salvage isn't hard for them. Even though I'd like the primaries to be 200 salvage each and the secondaries 100 each (maybe), having the secondaries be half the amount of the primaries is a good route to go.​​

    The Legion primaries are overpriced. But whales and wallet warriors will still be happy I suppose.

    Why remove the heroic might device from the starter set? That device was useful.

  • zamuelpwezamuelpwe Posts: 668 Arc User
    I gotta wonder if temp versions of the Farlong Device or Spatial Manipulator would be better to give lowbies than the XP Boost. Low level travel is slow and these are noted safe spots. The Farlong might be the better of the two since it's showing them content instead of helping them rush past it.

    I think something along these lines is a good idea. It was already said but, it doesn't seem like a good idea to give players a means to speed through early levels. That said, it is just an hour long device... but will it become a gateway drug? :scream:

    /sacrasm

    I like the change to the Lotus Blossom btw.

    I could be mistaken but I believe the Free Aura Slot unlock has been removed from the debugger making it difficult to test multiple auras.

    I wouldn't call the dab to be "reasonable". But, that is my opinion. Unless by "reasonable", you mean a requrest that isn't overall game breaking and what not, if so, than yes.

    What a thrill to see some Nemesis system issues being addressed and resolved! I hope we get to see more of that. Improvements to the Nemesis system would be great too.

    It languishes, ignored, when it should be one of the game's greatest selling points.

    Perhaps a better method would be when in a nem alert if you have a nemesis and a clue drops, it's associated with your nemesis and not someone elses. If you don't have a nemesis, clues simply won't drop.
  • deadman20deadman20 Posts: 1,529 Arc User
    If I may, for the reasons others have already stated, can we make it so the Nemesis clues time out after a few hours? Maybe it will help with some people having a clue that isn't theirs and locking the real owner out of their nemesis mission content.

    That, and it would make those missions seem more urgent to be taken care of sooner rather than later.

    Bug: Lotus Blossom II animation is wrong. It starts in the meditation pose, then switches to grav bike pose.

    When I got Lotus Blossom Mark I immediately upgraded it, so I dunno if the bug is just for Lotus Blossom II or both versions. Mark I worked fine with my toon on PTS with no mods.
