[DE]Rebecca Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 This is a very condensed overview of last night’s stream where we talked about Changes and Additions coming in Update #26: The Old Blood. Catch it all in action here! CHANGES: 1) Inbox Gift + Melee Alerts After the Update launches, we are providing an Inbox full of goodies. We know you’ve put a lot of time and resources into some of the things we’re changing (Melee, Vauban, Ember, etc), so please enjoy these free items by logging in before December 31st 11:59PM ET: 3 Forma 7-Day Affinity Booster 1x Legendary Core After the Update launches, we are running 3x Alerts over the weekend to give you Forma! Jump into these Melee-only Alerts and get a feel for how the changes performs against the three main Factions in different mission settings. 2) Melee We are not touching Melee Riven Dispositions until we get updated data - expect advance notice when we close in on a date for this. All Riven Challenges related to Channeling have been changed to reflect ‘Combo Counter’. Abilities that use the Combo Counter (such as Ash, Atlas, etc.) will scale at 25% of their former values, to make up for the ease of building a much higher Combo Counter Multiplier. This value is pending review for balance passes. All Melee weapons have received an updated Slam FX - come on and SLAM (attack), and welcome to the jam! But what about the Channeling FX you ask? Prime Armor Channeling FX will now appear when the Combo Counter reaches 2! Condition Overload - Now stacks a Maximum of three times, but the buff amount has risen from 60% to 120% per stack to offset the damage difference. Covert Lethality - is remaining as a Dagger Mod for now with +16 Initial Combo and 100% Finisher damage, pending later review. Killing Blow - Increases Heavy Attack damage and decreases the ‘wind-up’ time for Heavy Attacks True Punishment - Add 40% Critical Chance, but reduces the chance to add to the Combo Counter by -10% This update will also see some changes to the following Weapon, Arcane and Focus School buffs: Zenurik - Inner Might - Has been changed to provide 60% Combo Efficiency, instead of Channeling Efficiency. Synoid Heliocor, Furax Wraith and Fragor Prime - All receive bonus initial Combo Count to offset the boosted Channelling Damage they had previously. Exodia Triumph Arcances - Have been changed to +50% chance to increase the Combo Counter on hit. Exodia Valor Arcanes - Have been changed to +200% chance to increase Combo Count when hitting Lifted Enemies. Exodia Brave Arcanes - Now grants +5 Energy Generation when killing an Enemy with a Heavy Attack. This can stack up to 3 times. Exalted Weapons Using the 'Swap to Melee Mode' key will now let your Exalted Melee experience not be impacted by 'quick swap' to other weapons on Aimglide. All Exalted abilities are getting the new Combo behaviours + new stats (blocking angle, etc). Final numbers to come in Update notes! 3) Catchmoon Check out Pablo’s detailed stat review: https://youtu.be/TgkA5CzaLSc?t=1247 Decreased fall off damage from 100 to 10. Decreased range of projectile from 40m to 20m and fall off range from 20-30m to 8-16m. 4) Ember FIREBALL Works fundamentally the same as it does now - tap for quick fire, hold to charge for greater impact. Enemies already inflicted by any Heat Status effect will now take additional damage. Fireball has a casting combo, if you use it multiple times rapidly it gets stronger. IMMOLATION (replacing Accelerant) When cast, Ember Immolates herself with protective fire armor. Her current level of self-Immolation is indicated by a unique UI indicator; the higher the heat, the more damage resistance, and the more effective Ember’s other abilities become. The Immolation meter will build slowly at first - using Ember’s Fireball or Inferno causes the meter to build faster. Previously we stated that enemies would attribute to building Immolation meter but feedback and testing showed that the meter overflowed way too quickly. But be warned! If the meter reaches maximum (now 90% as opposed to 100%), Ember will “overheat” and Immolation will start draining Energy per second the longer you stay in an overheated state - previously at this moment it would unleash a wave of flame expending ALL energy, but that left you in an incredibly vulnerable state if you couldn't manage to expel in time. To prevent this from happening, use Fire Blast to expel a portion of your heat meter, or toggle Immolation off to reset meter build. FIRE BLAST Casting time has been greatly reduced, and the ability now strips armor from nearby enemies. The amount of armor removed scaling in effectiveness based on current Immolation levels. On cast this immediately reduces your Immolation level by up to half. INFERNO (replacing World On Fire) Upon casting Inferno, all enemies currently within sight are struck by a fiery comet, lighting each target ablaze in a personal ring of fire. Inferno costs Energy per each target in sight, with the cost capped at 10 targets. If an enemy ignited by Inferno comes in contact with another unit, the fire will spread, igniting them as well with a fresh ability duration. Damage of the heat AoE scales with current Immolation level. Ember Augment Changes: Immolation: Flash Accelerant is now Immolated Radiance: Allies within Affinity range will receive 50% of Immolation’s Damage Reduction. Fire Blast: Fire Fright is now Cauterizing Blast: Each enemy hit heals Ember by 25 to 50 based on the level of the Immolation meter. Inferno: Firequake is now Exothermic: Enemies killed by Inferno have a 15% chance to drop an Energy Orb. Heat Status Proc Changes: Heat Status procs now reduces Armor in increments over time. Not hot enough for you? Apply the Status proc multiple times to turn up the Heat, dealing more damage per tick as the flames increase. 5) Titania Titania’s cast animations are now an upper body animation only (except Razorwing); alleviating momentum cancelling lower body animations and trimming cast time. Thorns Tribute now has Damage reflected AND reduced to help our little bug feel a little less squishy. Razorflies can now pick up Tributes. Titania can spawn up to four more Razorflies if all Tributes are active, one per Tribute. Enemies directly affected by Titania’s Lantern will now have any damage they take dealt to them when the Ability ends (a la Mind Control). Titania can now Transfer to the Operator during Razorwing. 6) Vauban TESLA NERVOS (replacing Tesla Grenades) Instead of sticking to surfaces, these new Tesla Drones will roll around, following the player. Once an enemy comes within range, these Drones will latch on and emit a shock that stuns the target and nearby enemies. Each Drone has a limited number of shock charges before it must be replaced. Hold cast to summon multiple Tesla Nervos’ at once! MINELAYER All four of his mines have been replaced with new options: Tether Coil pulls a number of nearby enemies to wherever it sticks, rendering them immobile. Flechette Orb fires high velocity nails in all directions, inflicting puncture damage to any unlucky enough to be nearby. Vector Pad lays down a walk pad, granting a boost of speed in a chosen direction (indicated by arrows). Players must be moving in the same direction as the pad to receive a boost, while enemies are affected no matter which way they wanted to go. Overdriver will latch onto a nearby ally or yourself, enhancing their damage output for a period of time. PHOTON STRIKE (Bastille moved to #4) A deployable beacon marks a location on the map. After a short countdown, the area is struck by a massive orbital laser explosion (and yes, it does work indoors). Repelling Bastille and Perpetual Vortex have been combined into 1 Augment. Tesla Nervos now has ‘Tesla Bank’ Augment: While a target has a Nervos attached, any damage is channeled into a 8m burst of Electric damage on expiration. Photon Strike now has ‘Photon Repeater’ Augment: If Photon Strike hits at least 5 enemies, the next cast will cost no Energy. 7) Zealoid Prelate Boss Fight A Key blueprint will be available for crafting in the market to play this Boss fight! ADDITIONS: 1) 3 More ‘Config’ Slots 10 Plat each, per item! This offers premium Customization depth - you’ll still have the ABC you’ve always had, just 3 new options. Only appears at MR 10 - so you do need progress before you have this option. 2) Grendel 3 Keys are available in Arbitration Honors for his parts. Complete the Key to get the part - but you can Keyshare! One person could get the Chassis Key, while the other gets the Neuroptics Key, for example. They are 25 Vitus Essence each. The Leverian gives a hint of what type of hero Grendel was, which explains the key missions rules. Simply put, they are the great equalizer of key missions. 3)Parazon This is a new tool given to ALL Tenno of any level and is now a part of the Tutorial. It is an interactive tool with widespread use in the game, from basics like hacking and reviving allies to deeper gameplay like decoding the means to Assassinate your Lich. It will have 6 Mod Slots - 3 REQUIEM, 3 PARAZON. Intruder has become a Parazon mod, and we’re adding 10+ new Mods in Spy Vaults in place of Credits / Endo. 4) Requiem Mods New Mods! 8 new cryptic and invocative Mods required for truly Vanquishing or Converting your Kuva Lich. Post Stream note: Requiem Mods are earned with charges, that are only consumed on a successful vanquishing of a Lich. Repeat Requiem Mods in your collection will eventually go to good use, so getting duplicates won't be disappointing if you are using Requiem Relics to acquire things like Riven Fragments, Weapon Adapters, and more! 5) Requiem Relics New Relics that come from Kuva Siphon (30% chance) and Kuva Floods (guaranteed). They hold Requiem Mods and other rewards (Kuva, Amber Ayatan Star, Weapon Exilus Adapter Blueprint), as well as RIVEN FRAGMENTS which can be exchanged for a Riven Mod (weekly) from Palladino. 6) Requiem Fissures The Void is reacting to the experiments in the Kuva Fortress - Fissures are appearing! New Tier-5 Difficulty Fissures on the Kuva Fortress will allow you to unlock Requiem Relics! They have a starting enemy level of 60-70. 7)Kuva Liches + Kuva Weapons Kuva Liches have an Influence on the Origin System. Playing Influenced nodes incur a reward tax, but you can get some rewards back once you Defeat your Lich. We aren’t going to spoil too much – you will have to learn how to defeat your Lich. Everything we’ve talked about is involved in your Kuva Lich journey. You can CONVERT to your side, or VANQUISH the foe! Kuva Weapons that we are launching with: Kuva Karak Kuva Quartakk Kuva Ogris Kuva Kohm Kuva Tonkor Kuva Drakgoon Kuva Stubba (AKA Twin Stubba) Kuva Seer Kuva Kraken Kuva Brakk NEW: KUVA CHAKKHURR NEW: KUVA SHILDEG NEW: KUVA AYANGA Weapons do not come with slots, and you always get a custom version to your Lich if you choose to Vanquish. If you choose to Convert, they keep their weapon but can join you in battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OvisCaedo Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Please carefully consider just how random the kuva weapons will be. Random value range on the randomly selected elemental bonus for the random weapon is not a great look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DariusMcSwag Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Please look into the Requiem Relic drops. Amber Stars seem like a waste, Kuva could be doubled, and Weapon Exilus Adapters arent worth the rare drop. Please consider: - adding another, more common Parazon mod to replace Amber Stars - Increasing the Kuva value to 2400 - 5000 - Adding Veiled Rivens or Riven Transmuters to replace Weapon Exilus Adapters in the rare slot Edit: Now that Requiem Mods will be "consumed" when used, it makes even more since to have a common Requiem Mod, rather than having them all be uncommon. Please consider adding another way for players to acquire Requiem Relics, either from killing the Kuva Lich's followers or by taking down (but not fully killing) the Kuva Lich itself. Also, please let us gain Riven Fragments from dissolving regular Rivens. This would give "useless" Rivens a use other than just Endo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanSt0rm Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Thank you for the overview. I'm wondering what change will come to Maiming Strike since it was mentioned that it will go from a multiplicative to an additive buff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MunsuLight Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Do you realize that people playing Khora and Atlas efficiently arent gonna use the melee at all because they are normally stat sticking their melee so it is not good to use , so all the easiness to gain the new combo counter wont affect them ? So why even reduce the combo counter gain by 25% ? You are punishing people that play the game efficiently again and again . Why wont you let people play them without the reduced gain and reduce them after if you dont like the number . It is pré nerfing something even before testing it on a bigger scale . Also even if the catchmoon nerf are warranted , your team should maybe ask why is the weapon is used that much by higher mr player. One of the reason it is because it is the best arbi drone killer by far . Two it kill crowd efficiently. Three the damage albeit being good is not even the best from à secondary but thr fact that it can multihit some enemies with one bullet makes it good . Why not bring the other weapons near a similar level ? I dont mind the nerf at all but I question how you balance the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jump into these Melee-only Alerts and get a feel for how the changes performs against the three main Factions in different mission settings. I'm just going to say it because others are going to be thinking the same... Honestly considering how many weapons that may be affected by this change 7 days affinity, 1x legendary core and 6 forma just isn't enough 'compensation'. It's going to take a lot longer than 7 days to work through our weapons and if they are as big a change as some of us suspect we'll need to change more than just 6 weapons (assuming just one forma per build).... really feels like there's an underlying effort to sell forma with these changes.... Why is it just a booster and not a system wide one where we can get 4x boost, in fact why isn't it both considering how much we might need to do? Quote 2) Melee Condition Overload - Now stacks a Maximum of three times, but the buff amount has risen from 60% to 120% per stack to offset the damage difference.

Killing Blow - Increases Heavy Attack damage and decreases the ‘wind-up’ time for Heavy Attacks True Punishment - Add 40% Critical Chance, but reduces the chance to add to the Combo Counter by -10% Um.. bloodrush? Honestly I don't think condition overload change is the right thing to do, would have preferred the 'current' version without a 3 stack cap, even if it meant lowering the 60%. Really does feel like this will nerf weapons that could only become strong due to status effects, while non status weapons, often with higher base damage, are going to be able to fully trigger it.... What about the charge attack speed, in the workshop you changed Amalgam Organ Shatter - Will be changed from Charge Attacks to Heavy Attacks. We now have NO way to speed up charge attacks... Quote This update will also see some changes to the following Weapon, Arcane and Focus School buffs: Zenurik - Inner Might - Has been changed to provide 60% Combo Efficiency, instead of Channeling Efficiency.

Exodia Brave Arcanes - Now grants +5 Energy Generation when killing an Enemy with a Heavy Attack. This can stack up to 3 times. What about Exodia epidemic, you've basically stuck the entire premise of that ability into slam attacks What's happening with venka prime with it's higher combo counter. Grendel - 25 seems rather high imo, even with shares.. Parazon, oh joy more double farming.... Kuva weapons - nothing really there interests me if I'm honest and I'm not going to farm them just for MR....not exactly a good start for kuva liches for me personally.

SnuggleBuckets Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Soooo.... If you can't do whatever it is you need to do to unlock the "Requiem" mods that are needed to truly get rid of your Lich, then you are stuck with having a Lich that is making your life harder in the Solar System with their presence and influence? Is there a way to just avoid ever meeting the units that eventually turn into Liches? If you just don't want to engage with that system? BTW I'm saying this as someone who is genuinely positively curious about the Nemesis system, but at the same time, I'm starting to see this as a potentially really frustrating system to anyone not prepared enough or who doesn't like the 60+ level content and plays for more relaxing reasons and not to measure ones e-peen with how hardcore they are at melting enemies.

Random value range on the randomly selected elemental bonus for the random weapon is not a great look. Not a great look how? I sort of assumed that the stats increase as the power of the lich goes up. One that you defeat right away will have a weaker weapon than one who has returned many times. Even if it's just set when the lich is generated and never changes, you still have the option to simply defeat/convert the lich and discard the weapon, which would generate a new one. Anyway the precedent is already set with Rivens. Which are random drops, that affect a random weapon with random stats that you can reset to a random new arrangement.

This offers premium Customization depth - you’ll still have the ABC you’ve always had, just 3 new options. Only appears at MR 10 - so you do need progress before you have this option. I am happy to see the option to buy additional config slots. The stream last night explain it went from 20 plat to 10 plat which is definitely more digestible. I still think you need to drop it 1-2 more. If a new frame slot is 20plat and comes with 3 mod configs and 3 fashion frame. I don't see these numbers lining up. 20 / 3 is 6.6 so lets round up to 7. Each add on should realistically be 7 plat. "oh but this is a convenience thing". Make it 8 plat. Anything more and it is more efficient to do what is currently done and just pay 20plat for a slot plus make a whole new frame. 8 plat is also under double digits which adds the whole 9.99 illusion that you not paying a lot but 10 can seem way more.

Well, the system likely doesn't unlock at all until after you finish The War Within. And I might be mistaken, but it looked like when they did a mission on the affected node they had a choice between the normal version and the Lich Influenced version. If people really want to opt out they might add something for that in the future, but if this is the case then you at least have the option to not face the minions (and therefore not have your stuff stolen.) I'd assume the tradeoff for *doing* those missions is the chance to somehow gain intel about the Lich and start crafting the Parazon Requiem invocation needed to actually kill them. They keep hinting there's some kind of lore behind the Lich system, so maybe it will be gated behind a side story quest like Limbo or Titania. Don't want to have a Lich creeping on you? Don't do the story mission. Which will be fine as long as it doesn't turn into a pre-requisite for New War or something. o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
