Now Testing in the Training Room – 3\/31\/06 – 11am CST<\/a>. Not all that faboo, but a couple of interesting things.<\/em>
\n<\/p>\n

\nPowers
\n\u2022 Leadership\/Vengeance will no longer stack from multiple casters. In other words, only one application of Vengeance buffs can enhance a group at a time. [Pity, that, but not a huge issue to me.]<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Fixed combat Spam for IR Goggles. They no longer report that they increase your resistances.
\n\u2022 Changed To Hit Debuffs to use the 5\/10\/20 Enhancement progression. These were causing problems with Dual Enhancements (such as Hamidon Enzyme Exposure) [there’s more on this here<\/a> and here<\/a>.]<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Hurricane’s Repel effect is now slightly less abusive in PvP situations. It will still Interrupt Assassin Strikes, unless the Stalker has Repel Resistance, but it should no longer be possible to pin a player in a corner during Base Raids.
\n\u2022 PvPTaunt changes: When a player is being taunted, the effect can now be broken by running a good distance away. Additionally, hiding out of LOS of the taunter will cause the effect to expire sooner.
\n\u2022 You can now string multiple teleports in a row w\/out delay of actual teleport function (does not wait for animation to finish). This fixes a bug that would sometimes cause skips in animation when stringing together multiple teleports. [Um … okay, I have to actually try that to see what they’re talking about.]<\/strong>
\nBadges
\n\u2022 Spider Smasher badge is now granted properly.
\n\u2022 Fortunata Seer badge is now granted properly
\n\u2022 Not all Ancestor Spirits were counting toeards the Swift Steel badge. This has been fixed.
\n\u2022 Longbow Tanker gladiator is now properly unlocked when the Politician badge is granted.
\n\u2022 Female Paragon Protectors defeated now count towards the 7th Generation Paragon Protector gladiator badge.
\n\u2022 All Madness Mages now count towards the Soul Binder badge.
\nBases
\n\u2022 Characters in base raids are now set to an effective level of 50 rather than 40. (Preparation for 41-50 villain content)
\n\u2022 All Base Items are now level 50. This should make them more sturdy, and in the case of Base Defenses, more effective.
\nTailor
\n\u2022 Fixed bug with sleeveless jackets that caused sleeves to be changed by default when players begin a Tailor session.
\nChat
\n\u2022 Help Channel: New players will receive a new tab called “help” which defaults to a new server-wide help channel. We encourage experienced players to share their wisdom.
\nExisting players will not get this chat tab, and will have to add this channel to existing or new tabs. [Ooooh. I like. Now, if people will just use it as directed …]<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Chat spam limiter: You are now allowed one message per second, You are allowed to break the rule 5 times. Every second you don’t chat one rule break is forgotten. If you break the rule more than 5 times you will be banned from chat for 2 minutes. If you continue to try to spam while chat banned, you will continually reset your 2 minute timer. [Oh, yeah, baby! The Dash likes!]<\/strong>
\nCITY OF HEROES
\nCity Zones
\n\u2022 Shadow Shard: Rebalanced the Kora Fruit award. Harvested fruit are now medium-sized inspirations rather than large-sized. [Not all that iimpressed with Kora Fruit anyway. Ho-hum.]<\/strong>
\nBadges
\n\u2022 Heroes can earn a badge by defeating Mu Guardians.
\nCITY OF VILLAINS
\nPowers
\n\u2022 Fixed a bug that was causing Longbow Wardens with the Gravity Distortion power to do too much damage.
\n\u2022 Void Hunter Rifle no longer does extra damage to Kheldians. The Stun and Knockback effect against Kheldians has also been removed.
\n\u2022 The Longbow Boss, Romulus, has had his resistances increased.
\n\u2022 Stalkers’ Placate ability no longer grants the same strength Stealth in PvP as Hide. It is now roughly 75\\p of that value. This should reduce the ability of Stalkers to fade out of view of an entire group of players after attacking.
\n\u2022 Fixed Lethal portion of Dominator Plant Control Roots — it was doing unresistable damage and should not have been. Also, the lethal damage will no longer report as smashing in the combat log.
\n\u2022 Corruptor Heat Loss power was not modified for PvP, allowing it to drain 4 times as much endurance from players as intended. This has been corrected.
\nMissions
\n\u2022 Changed Psimon Omega missions to span 30-35 (to match contact level range).
\n\u2022 Changed re-spec trials so that they go 24-33 and 34-40 (Preparation for 41-50 villain content)
\n\u2022 Now Arbiter Leery will always be willing to talk to you after you’ve done the respec trial.
\n\u2022 Completing Mongoose’s mission arc once again grants a souvenir.
\n\u2022 Completing Billy Heck’s mission arc grants a souvenir.
\nCity Zones
\n\u2022 Bloody Bay: Patrol missions now correctly award experience upon completion.
\nInstallation
\n\u2022 Fixed issue when launching City of Villains for the first time (from a fresh install) in 98\/ME. An error message appeared stating that 1024×768 is not supported in fullscreen mode and that the resolution is being switched to 800×600. 1024×768 resolution was and is supported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
