Game Update - November 14th 2016

[Reeb99]

Looks pretty good on my end, at least on the initial runs. The 3* color evo shard drop adjustment was great, and I've been able to upgrade a few talismans again.

I'm not sure burning talismans are working though. I tried a set for a really short period of time, and never saw any debuff applied. EDIT: Nevermind, I see the explanation.

Also the trooper badges, gold, ironite display was missing from the store when I checked, going to reboot and look again. It's been hit and miss on two different Android phones for a few updates. Might just be a temporary thing. EDIT 2: Just a temporary display glitch apparently. Everything is fine now.

I was able to buy a skill shard just fine Londo. Shard slots full?

Relentless- 3385

I clear out my inventory regularly. Did a second reinstall and things seem fine. Thanx for the reply tho

How do you mean? I don't think SHOCK ever had the multiple instances the burn did if that's what you are suggesting. SHOCK has a chance to drain energy instead.

i double cehked ... you ar correct it does not have multiple instances. but it does not drain energy - it applies magic burn. thanks though

It may be a bit really high now, you may want to check stats on this after this update has gone on a few days, it seems to be too easy to get what I want, but of course, that just may be an anomaly I'm seeing tonight.

But since this recent one I no longer can get skill shards for badges. Anyone else with this issue?

It might be that you're at max inventory slots for one of the possible inventories (souls, shards, runes, etc). Try selling or using up a stack from an inventory that might be at the cap and try again is a work around that works for some people.

The bug for that is in our system, but I don't know if we have a fix for that yet; I'll confirm when I'm back in the office, as we seem to see more people hitting this right now.

It could easily be a database issue where only values from 00-99 are allowed (that allows for 100 slots, no more than that) and any attempts to work around that setting would fail/be ignored.

Actually, I got a message from one of the programmers who indicated there may be a process for pushing new data live that may have been missed because some people on the team weren't aware of the necessity of it being tied to the kind of change I made (the data that controls stuff like max inventory purchase limits is separate from the usual game tuning data I touch, so internal build processes don't have to worry about it, but the live environment has more steps to push the whole change through).

They're going to review it with the rest of the team involved with pushing data live to confirm tomorrow, so we may have a fix for that finally go live soon.

just wanna put this out there - CR fury is now healing enemies outright .. please mark as a fix pending. thanks

This is a longstanding display issue where some attacks will make the hitpoint bar look like it's going the wrong way (it makes it look like current HP is lower than it's supposed to, then after the attack damage is supposed to change the current HP, it looks like it goes "up", like healing), but it's a purely display issue. Proper damage is always recorded when using that fury.

EDIT - shock seems to have the same problem as the burning talisman.

As Ionswarm noted, the shock talisman is intended to only ever apply up to one shock status effect. Unlike the boring burn, shock has the chance of sapping power from the target with the dot, so depending on whether a character is magic focused or physical focused, or whether you want more raw damage or extra damage + a chance at an effect to lock down enemy power skills, you have some choices.

Thank you all guys!

Right, and this is the sort of thing that can happen to anyone quite easily, connected to me bringing it up, without judgement.

Are we sure this has actually happened? Went through a full sands of time in red LoLX today... Ive gotten 1 red 3* evo shard. Seems pretty similar to before for me. Getting mostly 3* upgrade shards in big quantities as usual...

Is this about right? 1 drop per 11 (I think it was about that) LoLX rounds?
