Patch Notes 10/06/2020 - Happy Birthday

[TimOh]

Thanks for everyone's hard work in keeping this game going. Great to see so many things added in over the years.


On a side note, was the range of tab targeting decreased? I have to get pretty close in order for it to pick up an enemy. If it is a bug I can make a post on the bugtracker, though I would have no screenshots for this type of thing.

scout and assault - ok changes

skirmish - good dmg rework, but major problem is still ignored - it has no survivability at all ... at fort def will be amazing, but on attack and in city he cant survive long enought to deal real dmg

new weapons are not better than scenario ones at all

[Panodil]

First off, Great Patch guys!!!

Now for a few personal observations/notes. My first question is about the new weapons. Does anyone know if they are in the armory yet, and if so what are their names? I'm stuck at work and can't log in to look at them and I'm dying to know what the stats for them are. If anyone can drop some screen shots into the thread that would be awesome too. Oh, and I'm really happy that there's now something else to spend Invader tokens on, I've had them just building up in my inventory for months now.

Second, can anyone post what the anniversary quest rewards are? Just curious to see if there is anything we haven't seen before as a reward.

My final thought is for all those worrying about heal debuffs. Both Chosen and Knights of the Blazing Sun have auras that provide a -25% to healing (Discordant Turbulence and Now's Our Chance!), however they aren't used very often. Perhaps that will be the new meta, having to position tanks running those auras before morale bombing. Just a thought...

What? its been "meta" since 2009 to run chosen HD. Knight one kinda bad because no one want to waste their kotbs standing 100ft from fight in healers.

Something to test: having access to 4 knockdowns (2 melee and 2 ranged) in approx 10-12 seconds due to the Veng buff.

4 knocks? where? eye shot and exploit weakness

Both drop to a 10 second cooldown under VoN, so you get 4 knockdowns in 10-12 seconds (2x ranged 10s apart, 2x melee 10 apart).

Still being less useful and OP than Get to the Chop. So it is ok.

SW Feedback:

-Barrage needs to get the morale component tuned down; its good you have a spammable AoE (with WW) but too much morale can be drained

-Crosscut doesn't need the 3rd hit with VoN; can time stamp too much

-EW doesn't need CD reduced with VoN; with WW you can have a 5s CD KD that hits hard

-Steady Aim is giving crit chance not crit damage when toggled on.

-Glass Arrow is not affecting DoT's

-Split Arrows is not appearing on Mastery Tree

-Shadow Sting needs to be bumped up to 100 ft if BHA/SFA are gonna be at that level as well; though id suggest having all skirmish abilities get reverted to 65 FT while in Assault Stance

Split Arrows has been temporarily disabled whilst it's worked on. An issue was brought to us, and rather than keeping the server down to work on it, a disable has been put into place whilst a fix is generated.
