Other Notes

Movement Speed Reduction

  • Skills that can reduce movement speed now more consistently slow down their targets, rather than inconsistently affecting roll speed verses run speeds. As a result a few skill have been adjusted to reflect these changes. See Hero Changes.

Love it! Finally a quality of life update worth while. Thank you devs :slight_smile:

Yeah, Ghoul would just start to spontaneously combust, it was a real bother. Glad to see it’s fixed

Sounds like an hilarious bug. Clumsy Ghoul

I WAS SO PISSED for so long when ghoul lit himself on fire, I sent so many screenshots and talked to the devs constantly, for me if you had caine armor him or counter measure ghoul during a mission and then ghoul threw a molotov, he would light himself on fire and burn to death. since his fire is stronger then his own healthbar. My 10* plat ghoul , crouching in cover begging to Agni himself to spare my ghoul for a foolish mistake of thinking I deserved to hold fire.

Haven’t tried anyone out yet, as I have just updated, but very reasonable buffs/nerfs from what I’ve read. Well done developers :+1:t3:

Why is cast hard mode fragment replaced by sentry?
I’ve been wasting my time for 10star cast…

Probably because Sentry was replaced by Cast in PvP store… it works out for you actually because heroes in the PvP store are much easier to grind than Hard mode heroes.

All awesome! But what does this mean regarding Moss?
“Provides bonus Health equal to unused Healing.”

Your Hero has 100k HP and got 50k damage. Moss heal will do 75k.

So instead of healing your hero to 100k he now has 125k Hp. But if he goes down below 100k again, other Healers can only heal him back to 100k again.

Try him out before you judge. I can’t say that they nerfed him much, barely at all actually.

While I love this update, I get the feeling that too many things got left out of these patch notes.

And I like most of these stealth changes, so I’m not really complaining. I just think that doing changes without informing them can lead to confusion.

Here is a list of the changes that were not informed (and I found)

  • Salvatore has been replaced on daily rewards by Cinder
  • Maven and Sentry have been replaced on PvP store by Cast and Mauler
  • Cast has been replaced on hard missions (1-3, 1-5, 2-3) by Sentry.
  • Level 70 raids have been added (solo and coop raids)
  • New achievements have been added (Clearing lv 70 coop raid and level 70 solo raid)
  • Beck’s Evasion Field (gold skill) got a new effect for more visibility. Instead of being transparent, she now has a blueish glow (similar to Halloway’s clones)
  • Every portrait hero now displays the logo of their faction
  • Addition of 6 hours patrols. While these patrols take longer, they also reward more points, so it may be easier to complete platinum tier, if the whole alliance is active.
  • Patrol system seems to have been balanced. Now patrols seem to gravitate toward longer, but more rewarding patrols. So doing the daily 100 will be harder, but plat crate may be easier (This one still needs some time to check. My alliance could have been super lucky today)
  • Unlocking a skin also unlocks a portrait of said skin.
  • Updated skill icon for a few heroes (Elite Rifleman, Vanguard and Operator. Maybe more, but I don’t think so)
  • Artwork for some portraits have been updated (Moss, Gammond, Phoenix, Scum and Cast)
    [I liked old Gammond more, but the rest look better, from my personal opinion]
  • Yanlong’s platinum has been improved. Armor under 50% HP has been increased. Can’t really tell how much since there is a bug with skill display.

That should be everything

Why was the quantity of self damage in the skill description of Moss Transfusion removed?

2 Likes

Probably to be similar to other self damaging skills, like Phoenix or Flatline.

But in my opinion it should be the other way. The 4 self-damaging heroes (Heckler, Phoenix, Flatline and Moss) should have the amount stated in description, so we can know if the risk is worth the reward in certain situations.
