Misc

Addressed an issue with players being unable to get past the patcher if they updated to a recent windows 10 update.

Nemesis

Fixed a bug where a phase in the alert was causing a massive dodge debuff to be applied.
Increased Nemesis Recognition rewards to 4 (from 3).
Added a small pause in the initial waves of Nemesis in the hallway.
Fixed a bug where multiple reward types could be granted.
Fixed a bug where rewards would be granted on a failed run.
Fixed a bug where the daily mission could not be turned in. (The mission will reset due to this fix and go on its initial cooldown, we apologize for the inconvenience).
Fixed a bug where the Action Figures cost old Nemesis tokens.
Fixed a bug where the Shadow Oblivion perk was not displaying a count.

I hope this explains why Masterful Dodge seemed to do nothing for me

Does Its means characters that fought Shadow Destroyer over 200 times could have Oblivion perk already?

I got the perk Shadow Obliterator on one of my characters the moment I logged in after the patch, so it looks like if you have already done the prerequisites for the perk you will get it automatically.

grunspel · May 2018

Thank you all (developers, testers, etc.) once again for your hard work. I was one of those affected by the Windows 10 update. It's good to be back in Millennium City once again.

solhuset · May 2018

Bug: Shadow Obliterator is displaying 1/10 progress for me, yet I've done it 6 times semi-recently. Buddy of mine on the other hand got 16/50

shadowolf505 · May 2018

I have done many Shadow Destroyer defeats and only have 1/10 as well.

kaiserin · May 2018

Shadow Destroyer is an old perk, and was likely set up that you need to do a certain percent of damage to get credit for the perk.

markhawkman · May 2018

Oh yeah, I think that under certain circumstances enemies can get launched over the top of the force field.

solhuset · May 2018

Except damage has never been an issue for me, so I really doubt thats why I'm stuck at 1/10 Shadow D's after the maintenance

And on another note, /e Computercounter now stops after just a few seconds instead of looping forever

One of my toon doesnt have SaveTheEarth mission at Patil list.
She is lvl40 and have many time sinse created.

Anyone with level requierement can queue for save the earth,
but you need to have a nemesis created to have access to the daily mission

I did 3 NemCon today and still in 46/50 .
i suppose have 49 now... its a bug or i did something wrong?

Why does the progress bar have a 10 on it? O-o'

criswolf09 · May 2018

Please remove the repel of the concussor beam of nemesis minions with power armor skills. It's too annoying!

That's the number of perk points it's worth.

I wonder if the perk stopped working after they revamped NemCon.

Hmm, interesting theory. I only ran it once before the rework and sure enough I'm stuck at 1/10

Yeah, something isn't right. I've been having an issue with the old Shadow Destroyer perk not unlocking for awhile now, and it seems the issue has extended to the new perks as well. Despite many successful Nemcon runs, none of the Shadow Destroyer-related perks even appear in my list.

pantagruel01 · May 2018

Okay, we ran a nemcon to test. No-one made progress on shadow destroyer perk, though we did have someone get dimensional destroyer.

avianos · May 2018

@kaizerin What is going to happen with the Old Vigilance Mission?
All my characters in live have the Old missions which didn't got updated to include the new alert
Is that mission officially retired? should I discard it and take the new one?

I can wait until the Warlord alert to test if the mission can still be completed and be turned in for rewards but I don't want to end with the dissapointment of a broken mission (Reference to the original Cosmic Beatdown which after being replaced couldn't be awarded by the NPC)

markhawkman · May 2018

So I just looked and Phantasma has this:

I didn't see "Shadow Oblivion" anywhere in her list. Note: this is a new character that never did Nemcon before the change.

chaosdrgnz43 · May 2018

Fix one bug, another bunch appears. Just your average dev problems~

That Nemcon counter needs to be fixed soon.

kaiserin · May 2018

Took a glance at the trigger conditions for the perk and it appears something broke it about a year ago. It can be fixed, but it will not retroactively grant you credit for defeats for the time the trigger condition has been broken.

Thanks for checking. Won't be difficult making up for the uncounted Nemcons after the issue is fixed.

I'm 23/50, practically half-way and don't mind the break from CO until it gets fixed. Take your time in making sure that no more unintended bugs happen.

Did you searched for "S" word?

The Shadow Destroyer/Obliterator/Oblivion will not appear until you finished NemCon once. My CCer also doesn't have said perks showing up in his perk window.

I did not. I scrolled through the entire list. Aside from kill perks for Gladiators and Arena Guards, that was the only Nemcon related perk I saw.

jaazaniah1 · May 2018

I saw several Nem clues drop that I was able to pick up but could not open (had other requirements). Is this a bug, or were the clues for the other players?

Discard it. Nem clues that you can't open are from other players. If you keep it in your inventory, they'll never get a nem clue jntil you discard it.

markhawkman · May 2018

I made a vid of me scrolling through Phantasma's perks list:

avianos · May 2018

Oh for the love of god, Fix the Stolen-Bugged Nemesis Clues already, it completely breaks the nemesis progress
Put a real life Timer on the clues so they will be vanished from the inventory

You pick someone's else clue, Discard it ASAP or you will break that destinated player's nemesis mission progress forever

omnilord · May 2018

Maybe tone down the strength of the Nemesis minions, or their spawn rate? They make getting beat down by Q-Horrors look more like they're babysitting me.

Otherwise, I do like the alert. Three low minions seeing me shouldn't mean I'm going to be shredded like cheese though.

So, if you REALLY want that many coming at the players, maybe make them as strong as when they pop up for getting clues. I mean, 30 or 45 attacking you is still something you can't just shirk off. Or if you REALLY want them that strong, slowing down their spawn rate would make the alert more enjoyable.

Right now it's like fighting against white-water rapids of pure ****-whooping. Yes, it's possible to succeed. That's not the issue I'm talking about.

Please seriously take this under consideration and not just glaze over it with a "meh".

I think until the perk counter gets fixed, no one will get Shadow Destroyer perk. Have you done Nemcon recently?

On Phantasma? ONLY recently. It's a new character who didn't get to 40 until last week or so.

jaazaniah1 · May 2018

Oh, I have been discarding the clues. I just find it odd that this (people picking up other people's clues) is even a thing in the new alert. I am now wondering if other people have picked up clues for any of the toons I've run through it? Hopefully K. will make sorting this out something of a priority now.

That's in large part because they're henchman-level mooks.

pantagruel01 · May 2018

Different minion types seem to vary substantially in difficulty.

I can concur on this one. With my main tank, full endgame gear, Defiance, Str-primary, Con-stacking for Juggernaut, some group of mobs are no problem at all, and some are dangerous like QWZ mobs. The difficulty varies quite greatly.

Also, in some instances, the mobs respawn very quickly, and in large numbers than the initial groups.

Then that proves my theory. No on can get Shadow Destroyer perk until the counter is fix.

Maybe you could try killing Shadow D in Resistance? Doubtful, but maybe that would trigger it.

Can't get any of them, I suspect the perk is tied to a different critter ID.

My main's Nemesis is bugged now, after playing Champs for 7 years. I can't advance Nem missions anymore as of a few days ago.

Please fix this. With this new mission, this is going to become more of a problem.

I already did that. Seriously, pause the video at 0:07.

"Archanist"... defeat Arcana in resistance.

Beaconizer, Resistance Fighter, Shadow's End(1:53 Defeat Shadow Destroyer in Multifaria)

Now, I DID go to Multifaria BEFORE Nemcon. It probably doesn't matter... probably.

It is an alert it should not require uber gear or a specific build or group to over come, that is what the end content is for.

Endgame doesn't even require uber gear. As for that second one, that's not true either. People have completed the alert with 5 dps. All it takes is team work. While you were tanking all the mobs your teammates should have been clearing them off you - hopefully next time you get some better teammates. There's no reason a bad team should be guaranteed a win, alert or not.
