Thanks, this sounds like fun!
-
Forgot to mention, Prismatic Detonation is actually listed as "Primastic Detonation" in the debugger. Also, the Timewarp Aura is very cool.
-
What I would love to see is the big boom without the rest of the effects, which could then be tintable as an ultimate for some of the energy/radiation/atomic power themes. Perhaps as another power or PVD. I agree that making this tintable as well would be great but I'd love to see more done with the big boom animation.
-
What is the best way to get access to these devices on PTS for testing?
-
We just had one!
-
It's been three months since the last Onslaught week. I don't think one per quarter is asking too much.
-
Onslaught week please!
-
Whoops, nevermind.
-
Will there be some new advantages to help Gadgeteering synergize with PFF and other force fields?
-
Thank you for this!
-
You can get a very good score with just nanites alone.
-
I'll just say that I wish Redirected Force counted for Vital Shielding. It's always a bit of a bummer to use it to shield everyone in the area, but then have to lose all your stacks.
-
I'll add this in here from the change notes: Shield Effects - Direct Shields and Personal Force Field now credit during open missions. - Note: Some open missions may not credit damage taken, please call those out. In my experience, the Cosmics and DRA are still not counting shielding (or at least not nearly enough, if you…
-
Which device(s) have superconductor?
-
Is there any chance the Havoc Hammer will get a buff given that it puts Haymaker on cooldown? Also, as someone who has a sonic-themed character in-game, is there any chance of an "Ultimate Hyper Voice" in the future?
-
Agreed.
-
Thanks for that explanation. I forgot what they were like in the past and agree they got over-nerfed. They're really just effectively useless and not worth a device slot now, so hopefully they'll get another look. Since they generally represent another famous hero of some kind helping you, I don't think they need to be as…
-
Yes, that should be a bug. Right now the only way to get a decent score is to lean on healing powers and less on shields. Wouldn't be a big deal except that for those who focus on bubbling, it can be bad enough that they don't meet the minimum score for rewards.
-
I love the additions to the alert, especially the two new power variant devices. I especially like the fact that there's another sonic attack. I'd like to use this opportunity to ask that you consider adding a few more sonic powers/devices/ultimates at some point to help make sonic heroes (melee and/or ranged) more viable.
-
I don't see it ever reverting back, but I agree it needs something more. Perhaps if it had some additional base resistance, like Medical Nanites, that would help. I wish it would also just buff shields more so that if you commit to IDF you get more of a boost to your shielding to make them maybe be able to take a couple of…
-
Woo hoo!
-
All the gear I tested this weekend worked well and deciding which combination to use for which character is often a close call. Overall, compared to what we had for secondary gear before the last few PTS updates, this is a major improvement.
-
I agree that since they're on par with the Cosmic Gear, they should probably show up as the same rarity.
-
I think the intention in having them all in the offense slot is that you have to choose which one you want based on your role and powers. If they were split between slots, you could have multiple of these unique bonuses in the same set of gear.
-
I am cautiously optimistic. If Onslaught were made more fun and less grindy, it would be a great thing.
-
In my testing so far, the new Onslaught gear is about equivalent to the improved Cosmic gear, it's just that there are different abilities to choose from. The 10% bonus does seem reasonably strong, like what you get from the power set utility mods I guess. Also, having these now boost your existing damage is much better…
-
Very interesting changes and good fixes, going to give these a test!
-
I had previously earned the Gloves of the Sniper for my DPS with the Pulse Beam Rifle maintain power and back when I got it I did see that it was boosting damage. Testing this new version, it doesn't seem to add to damage at all - I see no Piercing damage reported. Was this an intentional change or will Gloves of the…
-
Thank you for that. I did as you suggested and it fixed the issue with the set bonuses not appearing.
-
Very interesting new gear options. BUG: I tried the Cosmic Strike together with Cosmic Talons of Wrath and Cosmic Vision of Wrath on my DPS Novastar and the +100 Offense and +10 to All Stats listed as 3 piece bonuses on Cosmic Strike did not actually appear according to my character sheet. My Primary Gear is Distinguished.…
-
I'd agree with this, not sure it really needs the 20 foot restriction.
-
Cool stuff! Hope the remaining gear bugs are fixed soon.
-
Hey, great to see more lair and open mission updates. Will give these a try this week and report back. Will there be a daily mission of some kind for Rhinoplasty as well?
-
Thanks! That was the answer. I had the UI scale at 1.70 which had been working fine. Nudging it down to 1.6 fixed this issue for me.
-
Thanks, very useful.
-
Yes, but that only lets me move the device tray around. It doesn't seem to change this new 3x2 configuration that only appeared after this update.
-
My device tray seems messed up after this update. It was previously five wide, now it's three stacked on top of two and I can't seem to be able to change that. This means that when I expand my Power Variant Device Slots, those now get overlapped by the device tray as well.
-
Rest in Peace Scott/Thundrax. Always friendly, always nice in-game. He will be remembered.
-
Thank you very much Flow :-)
-
I don't mind if there is an ideal "path" for what the signature style of the powerset is intended to be. I realize that makes things easier and also means that there is sort of a "guided tour" for players to follow. However, what I'd really like to see if it's possible is that the powers that are not the optimal ones be…
-
I would like to strongly agree with the idea of less magic in any new content. I'd also love to see more missions/alerts that have new villains with unique mechanics. I enjoyed the addition of Armadillo and Ascii to the alert rotation. A Stronghold lair re-vamp with similar challenge to Destroyer's Factory, but with an…
-
Thanks for creating these, always interested in seeing other endgame builds.
-
Agreed, but there really should be such a role.
-
I've heard a lot of feedback like that earlier in the thread, from folks who have excellent high gear builds and do very well at cosmics and TA. I don't think anyone has an issue with the bosses themselves, but the cost/benefit is off. As a result, it just doesn't get run by a pretty big swathe of otherwise endgame-focused…
-
Love it, thanks for adding the Ghostbusters rifle!
-
Thank you for decreasing the cats.
-
I haven't been able to find a team to do it yet, but I'm interested in giving it a try and very much enjoyed the alert/rampage versions of the encounters.
-
Really looking forward to trying this. Aha! Captain Bonfire (one of my alts who uses this power a lot) approves! Have to say that the glowing weapon aura reward from the Ladyhawke arc also works really well with this for his powers. Outstanding, I was really hoping with the vehicle re-balance we'd be able to improve the…
-
I do agree that the changes are substantial enough and I've invested enough in my vehicles that without a second round to balance them up a bit more, I think some kind of compensation would be appropriate if this is to be the new permanent vehicle balance. If vehicles are both more balanced and weaker than before, they…
