    Heh, since the game hardly ever adds things for me to buy anymore, maybe I should throw my cash at Aesica/ ;)

    Finally got around to updating. Sorry for the lack of motivation lately!
    • Added powers: Veil of Mist, Veil of Shadow, Bad Sector, Tear Down, Bullet Barrage, Corrosive Pit
    • Added travel powers: Retrowave
    • Fixed a bug with The Void sometimes having the wrong stat specialization tree
    • Removed patreon link in the upper-right corner

    Known issues:
    • New powers don't have icons, several previous-update powers also lack icons. I don't like dealing with icons so I'll add them eventually or maybe not at all. This doesn't need to be reported. :)

    Hurm, you've updated it as you said here, but unless I'm very blind (most of the case) I do not see the new powers at all. I assume they do not update for pre-existing builds?

    Edit: Hurm, I've been noticing an strange anomaly with the hero-creator
    • Certain Links to builds, besides very freshly updated ones do not show the recent power changes and sometimes don't even show up at all, regardless of recently made.
    • Another issue I have found (for me, so far) is that the website takes a good 5-10 seconds to load in correctly, despite my Net being fine.

    Not sure if this is some error on my side or yours, as they happen randomly

    Well, maybe re-loading the site will help you. I can see the new stuff okay on it atm.

    And thanks for the update, Aesica 8) I hope all is well.

    Definitely try refreshing the page. Despite measures I've taken, sometimes some things get cached when they shouldn't be.

    Thanks so much! With the loss of the wiki, the HeroCreator is now the only up-to-date resource we have. I feel like I should make a donation. How can I do that?

    I removed the patreon button since only one person used it the entire time it was up. At this point, I wouldn't worry about it, but thanks for the thought. :)

    Concentration seems to be under 'gadgeteer' only, rather than technology as a whole. Not sure when it happened or if it's a bug. This affects the power progression when building outside of the gadgeteer tree (such as munitions). Unsure if it's intentional at this time, though.

    On Earthquake the description of the Molten Core adv. says NYI.

    Some QoL idea but, would it be possible to add a checkbox of some sort? I have seen a lot of people in builds like forgetting a passive or form, basically "essential" powers people would use in builds. Not need to add it but as info that it is missing or so.
    Not all powers of course but mostly Passive, Form, maybe heal, CC or Pet as optional you can do so you not forget it later in the build. Would uncheck itself if a passive is in the build or not basically. Probably hard since the power slot position differs. Easier to add a False or True code to one slot I guess.

    Please add Blood in the Water adv to Frenzy.

    Also, Happy New Year!

    Also, Scorchign Speed is missing in Super Speeds.

    Brimstone is missing a new advantage it has gotten a while ago it seems, Lightning Rod, 2 Point advantage.

    Okay guys, all updated.
    - Added Archery stuff
    - Updated Arrow Guy AT
    - Added Relentless Pursuit
    - Fixed some missing advantages
    - And all the other stuff mentioned above. I hope
    - And some other stuff I suppose

    Let me know if anything is out of place, except icons because I hate icons. If they all seem out of whack, remember to refresh the page in your browser so it uses the newest spritesheet.

    Edit: And as always, make sure to create periodic backups of your saved builds!

    I want to thank you for all your hard work in all this, the Hero Creator makes so many things easier with builds and I not know where i and probably most of us would be without it. You are amazing keeping this up. :)

    Mental Storm's new advantage (Mental Artillery) is missing from the HeroCreator.

    Changes to Mental Storm were as follows:

    Mental Storm

    Reduced cooldown to 12 seconds (from 15).

    No longer innately applies Stress.

    Power will now stun your primary target if not fully charged.

    Power will now Paralyze affected targets when fully charged.

    Paralyze strength has been normalized with other Paralyze powers.

    New Advantage - Mental Artillery (2): Now has a 20% chance to apply Stress every hit. Stress application is guaranteed when the damage effect expires. Refreshes at the start and end of the damage effect.

    Thanks again for updating and here the things I noted out of place:
    -Fair Game's advantage is called Lithe instead of Graceful Shots
    -Arrow Assault is missing the Concussive Force adv
    -Rapid Shot's Concentrated shots state that increase base damage of the power by 25% when in game is 35%
    -Threat Wipes like Evassive Maneuvers have a typo where Slight is spelled instead of Sleight of Mind
    -Cybernetic Tether advantage Radiate is mispelled as Raediate.

    Gauntlet Chainsaw needs Open Wound adv.

    I think a lot of buffs/debuffs probably need minor adjustments to how long they last.

    Vapor Form. (under Ice) is completely wrong. Wrong description, Wrong advantages. Its a threat wipe, that gives you flight, and damage resistance, but prevents you from attacking. Advantage to add cold snap, and restoration.
  • criswolf09criswolf09 Posts: 748 Arc User
    On Earthquake the Molten Core advantage costs 1 instead of 2 and also has nailed to the ground.

    Thank you so much for the years of this awesome site:

    Some Fixes that may need to occur:
    - Moon Struck's Midnight Frenzy Advantage is 2 advantage points in Hero Creator but it is 1 advantage point in game.
    - Mental Storm's Mental Artillery Advantage is not present in the Hero Creator.
    - Gauntlet Chainsaw's Open Wound Advantage is not present in the Hero Creator.

    Added a (hastily) updated version at https://aesica.net/co/beta

    Let me know if anything breaks horribly. If not, I'll move it to live in about 24 hours.

    However...NOTE!

    I had Fair Game in the wrong spot, so I moved it where it belongs. This will cause any builds using it or the skill below it (formerly above it) to switch places. Sorry about that.
    - Updated the Heavy Weapon powerset to match the latest mini-revamp
    - Added Empowered Dragon Staff to the device list.
    - Updated Vapor Form to reflect what it does...roughly. It's still using the shitty old tooltip format unfortunately.
    - Added missing advantages to Gauntlet Chainsaw, Mental Storm, Earthquake, Vapor Form, Arrow Assault,

    Not too late to request fixes/etc, but it will be soon!

    Thanks for continuing to update the HC. Much appreciated!

    Here are things I noted that might be added/corrected.

    Need the new Crushing Ruin HW Ultimate.

    Under Earthsplitter the Engulfing Flame adv. has a commnet "Undefined"? Maybe also note that it expires Clinging Flames? Maybe say what Engulfing Flames does?

    Cleave "Now has a chance to apply Clinging Flames on knock immune targets on the last hit" (according to the announcement). HC currently seems to indicate that CF has a chance to be applied on every hits vs. knock immune enemies.

    Cleave "Defensive Stance Advantage: Tooltip update to mention Aegis effect." This needs to be added to HC.

    -The devastator and Rockstar ATs are missing a power option at level 25 they get to choose between Pulverizer and Thermal Reverberation.
    -The new HW ultimate called Crushing Ruin is also missing.
    -Cleave's advantage, Defensive stance now mentions that when completing the combo it will apply Aegis.
    -Bastion in HW is listed to grant 6% damage mitigation when it's actually 10%, and in Might should say 6%.

    Just a heads up about the delay: There's a new fire lunge on PTS that I'm waiting on. If it doesn't make it to live this week, I'll just insert a placeholder for it and post the update. In the meantime, there's a beta version available at https://aesica.net/co/beta but it's exactly that--a beta. Builds made there may not transfer over to the live version 100%, but it still gives you access to the updated powers.
    Is there a way to make the updating of your database collaborative ?
    Unfortunately not. Powers are still stuck in this horrible mess of a js file and updates in general require some extra crap that isn't very easily automated/collab-friendly. The best people can do is post things I miss here so I can get them when I'm able.

    Can I slip another request in:

    The Icon for Insight in the Ego tree is a generic place holder image. Any chance of getting anything more apprpriate? Ditto for Battle of Wits under Intelligence, Dominion and Vulnerability under Presence, Well Rounded under Recovery. Not biggies, but there's a better chance that a suggestion made to you will be implemented as compared to anything sent to the devs.

    Sorry I've been slow at this guys, been busy with stuff (our water was off all weekend because of a pipe leak, among other things) and only now am getting to update things. Since next week is 2 days away, I'll wait and add the shadow power. Should be fully updated by friday at the latest though.

    Thanks for the update aesica, I hope you can fix your water problems soon. I found something on the beta, the engulfing flames advantage of Earth Splitter does not mention it purges all clinging flames to add the debuff. Also the devastator and rockstar have a choice at level 25 between Thermal Reverb and Pulverizer.

    Thanks guys, we were only without water for 48 hours but it felt like forever. Never take running water for granted, because flushing the toilets with buckets of water sucks. Anyway, new version is up. As always, hope I didn't break anything.
    **3.45.38 - 2/18/2022
    - Looks like I've been forgetting to update this file, so don't mind the gap~
    - Added Scorching Impact
    - Updated the Heavy Weapon powerset to match the latest mini-revamp
    - Added Empowered Dragon Staff to the device list
    - Updated Vapor Form to reflect what it does...roughly. It's still using the shitty old tooltip format unfortnately
    - Added missing advantages to Gauntlet Chainsaw, Mental Storm, Earthquake, Vapor Form, Arrow Assault,
    - Added missing description alias for Engulfing Flames, and updated the various Fire powers to reference it
    - Updated Devastator and Rockstar to properly offer a choice between Thermal Reverb and Pulverizer at 25
    - Added description alias for HW's version of Reckless and its improved (10%) Bastion effect
    - In the About tab, changed "Release Date" to "Last Updated" to better reflect its what it's meant to show
    -

    Let me know if I missed anything. The shadow power didn't make it to live this week, so I'll most certainly be looking at this all again soon enough.

    PS: I haven't updated the icons so don't ask. I'll do it maybe when the shadow sigil thingy goes live.
