Patch Notes - Last Updated May 10, 2019

This post will be regularly updated as a quick reference for client/server changes and gameplay balances and fixes. Dates link to the relevant forum post.


05/09/19

• Arenas Enabled
  
• Salvage Market seeded to keep costs down: 10K for common salvage, 100K for uncommon salvage, 1M for rare salvage, and 50K for a Brainstorm Idea
  

• All servers now set to +50% XP Boost
  
• There was an issue with Respecs granted from leveling badges; they were following the old limit of holding a maximum of 3 respecs at a time, which means you got the respec for levels 10, 20 and 30 but not 40 and 50. This should be fixed now
  
• Added free respec for all due to the cooldown issue and the level 40 badge not awarding a respec (may take a day or two to arrive)
  
• Fixed the infinite cooldown bug affecting some powers
  

• Arcs marked Developer's Choice in Architect Entertainment will no longer be affected by the Architect XP reduction (This is an experimental change, and may not work as expected - in the event of bugs, we’ll work on fixes)
  
• The minimum level for Positron TF Part 1 has been lowered to 8
  

• As the #badge-hoarders have noted, Echo: Faultline did not have any exploration badges. This patch fixes that oversight, returning three badges that were in the original Faultline zone before Issue 8 to Echo: Faultline, and adding 8 new exploration badges and a zone accolade
  
• Moved "Newsman", "Faultless Mystic" and "Apex" from Faultline to Echo: Faultline
  
• Added "Riveting", "Upcycled" and "Rock Bottom" to Faultline
  
• Added "Forsaken", "Pristine", "Claim Denied", "Spare Parts" and "Dug Too Deep" to Echo: Faultline
  
• Added "Epicenter", Echo: Faultline zone accolade.
  
• Added "Fashion Victim" for spending 50,000,000 inf on the tailor. Rewards a Free tailor token for your trouble
  

• Super Packs Added
  
• XP Boosts adjusted for servers, on permanently until otherwise noted.
  
• Character Shard Transfers enabled
  

• Architect Entertainment -50% XP Nerf added to discourage farming missions from flooding the system.
  
• Weekday +50% XP Boost added on all servers to encourage players to spread out playtime away from weekends.
  
• Weekends on Everlasting and Indomitable will be set to +250% XP Boost
  
• Leveling Pacts disabled due to instability.
  
• Fixed scenario that allowed players to create Architect missions with enemies that actually healed you instead of damaging you.
  
• Fixed bug that caused players to receive multiple copies of the 15th Anniversary Badge reward
  

• City Zones set to unload if empty, may cause slightly increased loading times when entering an empty zone.
  
• Players can now skip the login queue if reconnecting within 10 minutes of a previous disconnect.
  
• All logging for player information has been disabled
  

• Indomitable and Everlasting shards added to the pool with +100% XP Boost
  
• Login Queue System enabled - Shards limited to 1,500 players
  
• 15th Anniversary badge added
  

• Excelsior Shard added to the pool
  

Y'all gettin' your headcannons loaded in the other one, which is fine. 

But here's the recent news and changes -

 - Torchy, Evie, Indy, and the others that we've been playing on through Tequila launched are ran by a group calling themselves the "Homecoming" team.
 - They're the ones operating out of Score.savecoh.com
 - They've got an LLC together and the ability to accept donations, which is currently shut off because they don't need.
 - Per https://score.savecoh.com/index.php/topic,1551.0.html they are moving a shard to the EU, and moving the rest to canadian soil
 

And in-game, there's some other good stuff -
 - The Legendary is now semi-officially moved in to Everlasting / Evie server
 - Evie is the unofficial RP server, just like Virtue was
 - Riot Force 6 is also established on Evie
 - Until our sudden but inevitable betrayal and consumption of them, The Legendary is coalitioned with RF6 to provide more punches to enemy faces
 - The Legendary base is a usable facility, with teleporters, medbay, inspiration and salvage storage, crafting, couches.  All sorts of good stuff, and a flamethrower
 - Terrence is not allowed to use the flamethrower.

Life is good.  Go, Hunt.  Kill Skuls!

Looks like it updates every five minutes or so, and it has NUMBERS!

Some of you might remember the Eternal Lost Lurker, aka MithrilMoth. It pains me to inform those of us that remain in the list, that he passed away this last Sunday in his sleep. I've lost track of a lot of people here, and seen some of you in fimfic. If you're ever there, drop a line, I'd love to hear from you, even as we lose one of our own.

From the state of Texas we have this half-baked tin-horn loudmouth who has engaged in a Twitter fight with a couple of doctors because he believes that vaccines are sorcery: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/jonat...-texas-gop

Meanwhile in Georgia, governor* Jack Kemp and the state of Ohio have enacted anti-abortion laws so restrictive that it calls for the imprisonment for life of any woman seeking an abortion, prison sentences for anti-conceptives, and mandates surgery for any suspected ectopic pregnancy to re-implant the zygote or fetus back into the uterus.

We have to stop letting stupid people into our legislatures.

So, while I've got Team Lead gives base access set on Riot, I also set up a public passcode to get into the base and look around if you like, at least until we can arrange a Coalition (not sure if I need to be on Sylia as the overall SG lead to do that, as basically every member has max privs so far).

But, if you want to look around the base in progress, the passcode is RIOT6-1057

With a little preview:

From 1 to 2 - but the byelection was expected to go to the New Democratic Party.

The link is to an analysis piece.

Quote:But the split among progressives is better news for the Conservatives. There are many ridings across the country in which a big gain for the Greens will not win them the seat — but losses for the NDP and Liberals might put the Conservative candidate ahead.

The provincial elections in New Brunswick and P.E.I. are examples of how that can happen. In both cases, the Progressive Conservatives were able to form government despite losing vote share because the incumbent Liberals (as well as the NDP) lost much more.

• Canada's "New Democratic Party" would find most American Democrats to be to the right of their party. Bernie Saunders would be considered moderate in the NDP. They rarely get to form governments up here, and never have at the federal level.
  
• "Ridings" are what Canadians call electoral districts. (Apparently, the term is from the Old Norse word "þriðing". There's not much gerrymandering; the boundaries are drawn by bureaucrats, not politicians.)
  
• The Liberal Party is centrist or slightly-left-of-centre, depending on the province.
  
• Conservatives are exactly what it says on the tin. "Progressive Conservatives" are still conservatives, but at the provincial level instead of the federal level.
  

While doing my usual daily stuff on All The Tropes, I came upon a page there called WikiNode, which had outbound links to other MediaWiki wikis.  It appears to be some kind of gateway for interwiki browsing?  Anyway, there is a link on it that's supposed to go to the FenWiki -- http://fenspace.net/index.php5?title=WikiNode -- but it's dead.  It doesn't even go to a deleted page, as far as I can tell.  I'm presuming this is something we ought to have...  I could create it, I suppose, but I feel like I should leave it in the hands of someone who knows that it's supposed to be.

Noticed the previous thread has reached 300 posts so, here we go.
