Patch Notes - 1.5.3
NEW CHANGES/FEATURES:
  • The Golden Yeti Tournament is now live!
  • New Limited Quantity swords available on the Alydroid in Frysteland
    • Azrael's Reaper (Physical)
    • Azrael's Spirit (Energy)
    • Both include the Mark of Azrael core (+5% Crit Chance)
  • Rusted Assault Bot
    • Now the Assault Bot P (energy version now Assault Bot E)
    • Equipped to Overlord Guard
    • Damage is now equivalent to Assault Bot E
  • Players can now earn up to 7 Blue Stars
  • Dropped initial language file load by ~25%

BALANCE CHANGES:
  • Each point of damage now requires 4.5 point of Strength, up from 4
  • Defense and Resistance now scale at the same rate (previously you would get more Resistance per Technology than Defense per Dexterity)
  • Smoke Screen requirement changed from 14-41 to 15-33
  • Stun Grenade energy cost lowered by 3
  • Hybrid Armor now rquires Support instead of Dexterity
  • First Strike overhaul:
    • Old formula overly confusing and scaled poorly
    • New formula = From a base of 50%, gain +1.5% chance to go first for each point of Support you have over your opponent, and +5% for each level under your opponent.
    • Example: Level 21 with 28 Supp VS Level 20 with 30 Supp. Level 20 player gains 5% for being one level lower, and 3% for having 2 more Support, for a 58% chance to go first.

BUGS FIXED:
  • Infernal Android special cooldown was incorrectly set to 3 turns (should have been 4)
  • Assimilation could grant more energy than intended if the target was nearly out of energy
  • Reistance buffs were not stacking correctly (Ex: Blood Shield and Energy Shield)
  • Sellback values were always rounding down, instead of to the nearest integer
  • Concussion Shot and Pyro Fly could disable a skill the target did not own
  • Armor stats were not properly being used in certain battle calculations
  • Attacks with multiple hits could show the wrong damage if the attack did the minimum possible damage
  • Certain gear was not showing up properly on Character Pages

Sir Xander -> RE: patch notes 1.5.3 (2/22/2013 19:19:44)

Anybody know what the new swords look like?:o



....SKY.... -> RE: patch notes 1.5.3 (2/22/2013 19:19:59)

So they nerfed strength, now how about those abusing tech and plasma bolt? :)



ReinVI -> RE: patch notes 1.5.3 (2/22/2013 19:25:00)

@sky ~ there a lot easier to survive against.. face it they have a CD on there "abusive" move.. strength has no cd its skills might but not the stat itself >.> and tech isn't an offensive stat so only
offensive skills are effected by it.. plus most classes have a way to fight against high energy dmg ( TM ~ Blood shield, BH/BM energy shield, TM/CH malf ( ch PA ) and merc has atom smash/ PA )



midnight assassin -> RE: patch notes 1.5.3 (2/22/2013 19:27:21)

At last they buff the dex.



Hard boy -> RE: patch notes 1.5.3 (2/22/2013 19:28:05)

ill get both swords on mini stats :DDDDD



....SKY.... -> RE: patch notes 1.5.3 (2/22/2013 19:28:15)

yep but plasma damage/energy ratio seems to be greater than its equivalent.



...DarkTechnology... -> RE: patch notes 1.5.3 (2/22/2013 19:28:45)

They made hybird armor from dex to sup 42 now we can use Adrenaline skill that gives rage with hybird armor but low str even if we have like 26 dmg , people would use intimidate with Omega sword Speical abality to rduce the dmg to 15-16 that happend to me , and now BH will be stronger lol tech mages also will be spaming Technican + plasma bolt and then super charge mercenary and teactical mercenary might get nerfd now .



FishNoobCrack -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes 1.5.3 - February 22, 2013 (2/22/2013 19:32:41)

REALLY?
Tech's scaling is now as slow as dex, now they had just buffed strength EVEN more. If it was the other way around, defenses would have been fine.



Hun Kingq -> RE: patch notes 1.5.3 (2/22/2013 19:33:30)

Defense and Resistance now scale at the same rate (previously you would get more Resistance per Technology than Defense per Dexterity)

Did they increase the amount of points how dex scales or decrease the amount of points tech scales?

Basically will it be harder to get good tech or easier to get good dex?

When I seen this "Reistance buffs were not stacking correctly (Ex: Blood Shield and Energy Shield)"

I was correct about energy shield not working as it should but was called a liar by certain players and that it works just fineso which other skills I am correct about.



FishNoobCrack -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes 1.5.3 - February 22, 2013 (2/22/2013 19:36:25)

Tech now scales as slow as dex...



Ranloth -> RE: patch notes 1.5.3 (2/22/2013 19:37:31)

Bought the Sword. Spent 500'ish Varium to buy and then upgrade with Credits, otherwise it'd have drained all my Credits saves & I have 13K Varium spare as it is.



Fortitudo -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes 1.5.3 - February 22, 2013 (2/22/2013 19:38:14)

Wow, talk about mercenary nerf. 42 support to use max hybrid. =O



....SKY.... -> RE: patch notes 1.5.3 (2/22/2013 19:38:26)

Yep bought both - they look ok.



ND Mallet -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes 1.5.3 - February 22, 2013 (2/22/2013 19:38:42)

@hun That bug was about how Blood Shield and E. Shield didn't stack so +20 from E. Shield wouldn't stack with +10 from Blood Shield right. Nothing wrong with either skill until they were both added to the same character.

Ah a good question.

Resistance was brought in line with Defense, so you get Resistance a little slower than before (1 Res per 3 Tech instead of 2.7 Tech).
That was a rather old design decision that doesn't apply any more since weapon damage is now homogenous.



midnight assassin -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes 1.5.3 - February 22, 2013 (2/22/2013 19:41:31)

@Fish
Well are you saying they just nerfed tech?

Blame Rabble anyone?



FishNoobCrack -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes 1.5.3 - February 22, 2013 (2/22/2013 19:42:37)

^^
Yes
They also badly hit tanks as well, lower damage output, lowered defenses too.



midnight assassin -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes 1.5.3 - February 22, 2013 (2/22/2013 19:44:07)

They nerfed my build so badly eek.



Q...Q -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes 1.5.3 - February 22, 2013 (2/22/2013 19:46:06)

Why nerf Tech , i just dont get it.



midnight assassin -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes 1.5.3 - February 22, 2013 (2/22/2013 19:47:08)

^ They really hurt tech bh.



Rayman -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes 1.5.3 - February 22, 2013 (2/22/2013 19:54:10)

No one nerfed tech, Only the scaling, a tech nerf is like removing the deflect from tech.



Hun Kingq -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes 1.5.3 - February 22, 2013 (2/22/2013 19:54:36)

RabbleFroth, So basically you nerfed Plasma Cannon, Plasma Rain, Overload, and Super Charge on the Blood Mage side.

Plasma Bolt, Plasma Rain, Overload, and Super charge on the tech Mage side.


For these tech/dex based skills the Tech Mage has malfunction to increase damage on all those skills while the Blood Mage only has reflex boost to increase the dex based skills.

So now it would take more points to get good protection from dex and tech than every before giving a bigger advantage to class with smoke and malfunction.



Goony -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes 1.5.3 - February 22, 2013 (2/22/2013 19:58:15)

@ Hun, Really!!! The statistic progression change to technology is related to resistance values and has nothing to do with the skill progressions! *rolls eyes*

If anything they slightly buffed all those skills you mentioned as Resistance scales slower, so energy attacks will do marginally more damage...



Rayman -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes 1.5.3 - February 22, 2013 (2/22/2013 19:59:07)

Hun: ONLY The resistance, Not TECH. Making it scale slower doesn't mean that they nerfed tech improving skills e.e
