Update 1.7: maggiori info

Stavolta per il PTS non faremo una traduzione, dovrete attendere la versione finale.

Global Events 

• Loot changes: As a first attempt to tweak acquisition rate of Classified Gear, our approach was to refocus the caches to make sure they provide something relevant. To keep things balanced, we modified the rhythm by which caches can be obtained, now that we’re sure they will provide something of use.
  • Increased the price of Superior Caches to 1500 (from 650)
  • Increased the price of Regular Caches to 900 (from 350)
  • Increased the token drop rates of Normal and Hard missions to compensate the caches price increase.
  • Superior Caches will now drop only one item. This item will be of either Gear Set, Exotic or Classified quality. The chances of this item to be Exotic or Classified have been increased.
  • Vanity rewards are now awarded in Leaderboard Caches only.

• Outbreak
  • Added a new stat for number of group headshots completed after you tagged the enemy.
  • Fixed a bug where a player dying from contamination would be shown as having killed himself.
  • Fixed a bug where Global Events would not be sorted alphabetically in the help menu.

• The first Global Event – Outbreak – is now available on the PTS.
• The factions are infected by the virus and are extremely contagious. Your best course of action is to aim for the head to deal maximum damage.
• The Global Event features a modifier that can be applied to existing content. Two extra modifiers can be enabled to increase the challenge and the rewards.
• Earn Global Event Tokens by playing the content and exchange them for Global Event Caches at the vendor.
• Rewards include
  • Three Classified Gear Sets.
  • Three different Weapon Skins.
  • One vanity set.
• Global Event specific Commendations are available to challenge you even further.

Commendations & Patches

• Fixed a bug where a Reward section would be shown in the UI of Commendations that do not yield any Reward.
• Commendations introduce a series of 500+ challenges across several categories for agents to accomplish. Commendations cover all aspects and areas of the game, both for PvE and PvP.
• Unlocking achievements reward the player with Commendation Score. Your tallied score is displayed to other agents.
• Some special Commendations award a Patch, a brand new vanity item. These Patches are displayed on the agent’s arm, replacing the default Phoenix patch.
• Not all patches are available on the PTS, with more being added once Update 1.7 goes live.
• The requirements for certain Commendations have been altered on the PTS for testing purposes.
• Fixed an issue where the Too Old for Toys Commendation would not work properly.
• Fixed a bug where the Patches would apply as a weapon skin when equipped.

Known Issues with Commendations on PTS

• The Commendation “Directive Executive” currently refers to World Tier 10 and 10 Directives. That is just place holder text and not representative of anything that exists in the game.

Face customization

• The Base of Operations now include a room with an interactive mirror that you can use to change your agent’s appearance. You can find the room by turning right straight after you have entered the Terminal from the Base of Operation stairs.

Collections

• Fixed an issue where the JTF Collection and the Astronaut Collection listed the same reward.
• Fixed an issue where the vanity menu in the Collections tab would always go straight to the second item in the category.

Encrypted Cache

• An Encrypted Cache is a loot container obtained from the Premium Vendor in the terminal. It requires a key to open.
  • Encrypted Caches contain unique appearance items, emotes and skins.
  • Cipher Keys are needed to open Encrypted Caches. These keys are created by collecting key fragments, which are available from normal gameplay. 10 key fragments are needed to create one Cipher Key. Keys can also be purchased from the Premium Vendor.
• Unique appearance items from the Encrypted Caches are organized in Collections that can be found in the Vanity tab. Once a Collection has been completed, the agent will receive a reward.
• Please note that the contents of the Encrypted Caches on the PTS are not 100% representative of what will be in the final product.
• There is currently an issue with the Premium Vendor and the Encrypted Caches, which makes them impossible to use. This will be fixed and testable on the PTS in a future update.
• Fixed an error claiming that encrypted caches was sold at the Advanced Weapon error, now correctly says Special Equipment vendor.
• The Premium Vendor now has a tutorial mission for the Encrypted Caches.
• New items have been added to the Encrypted Caches.
• Fixed a bug where parts of the agent became invisible after equipping vanity items from the Encrypted Cache.

Classified Gear Sets

• Gear recalibration has been reactivated and made temporarily free on the PTS for testing purposes.
• Fixed a bug where deconstructing a Classified Gear piece would not yield any material.
• Fixed a bug with Classified Striker where only one bonus could be recalibrated instead of 2.
• Classified Gear Set pieces are unique gear set pieces for pre-existing gear sets and will feature 5 and 6-piece bonuses.
• Classified Gear Set pieces can initially only be received from participating in Global Events.
  • After a Global Event has concluded, the Classified Gear pieces can be found during normal gameplay, but with lower drop rates than during Global Events.
• Six Classified Gear Sets will be included on the PTS for testing purposes, but once Update 1.7 goes live, three Classified Gear sets will be introduced for every Global Event.
• The Classified Caches are available on the Advanced Weapons vendor on the PTS for testing purposes, but will be tied to Global Events once Update 1.7 goes live.

Primary Stat Ranges:

• Classified Gear Set Primary Stat Range
  • 1274-1401

Final Measure

Final Measure: Our goal was for all the buffs to temporarily be very impactful to your play style in different ways. The way Armor was being calculated was unintentional and has been fixed to be an additive increase to your armor mitigation.

• 6 Pieces: All bonuses received from defusing grenades are increased to 20% (instead of 15%). This bonus is now a flat armor bonus instead of a multiplication of the existing armor value. This means that if your Armor Damage mitigation is at 35%, receiving the Final Measure buff will increase it to 55%.
• Fixed the description to correctly refer to Fragmentation Grenades instead of HE Grenades.

• 5 Piece:
  • +15% Exotic Damage Resilience
  • +15% Protection from Elites
• 6 Piece:
  • Talent: Improved Final Measure
    • When a grenade is defused the player and all group members within 30 meters gain a buff based on the grenade type that was defused.
    • -EMP/Shock: Skill power increased by 15% for 8 seconds.
    • -HE/Incendiary: Weapon damage increased by 15% for 8 seconds
    • -Flashbang/Tear Gas: Armor increased by 15% for 8 seconds

Sentry

• 5 Piece:
  • +15% Accuracy
  • +15% Headshot Damage
• 6 Piece:
  • Talent: Improved Sentry’s Call
    • NPC targets can now receive up to six marks. After three marks, every headshot on the target has a 25% chance to spread a single mark to additional targets within 10 meters. At six marks, your headshot damage on the target is increased by 100%.

Striker

Striker’s Battlegear: Overall we were happy with the healing potential of the set in PTS 2 but we felt that players were getting too much base heal per stack while still being able to push their build towards high DPS. The new will actually allow slightly better max healing but require you to go all in on Stamina to get the bulk of the heal.

• 6 Pieces: Every hit adds a self-healing bonus for 0.01% of max health (instead of 0.1%) of max health per second. This bonus is further increased by 0.03% (instead of 0.01%) for every 2000 Stamina. Stacks up to 100 hits. Bonus is reduced by 0.01% (instead of 0.1%) every second.
• The 4 Pieces and 6 Pieces talents will now be paused by an EMP effect, instead of being completely reset.
• Example 1: 4000 Stamina and 100 stack:
• PTS2: 12% health/second (10% + 2%)
• PTS3: 7% health/second(1% + 6%)
• Example 2: 6000 Stamina and 100 stack:
• PTS2: 13% health/second (10% + 3%)
• PTS3: 10% health/second (1% + 9%)
• Example 3: 10000 Stamina and 100 stack:
• PTS2: 15% health/second (10% + 5%)
• PTS3: 16% health/second (1% + 15%)

• 5 Piece:
  • +10% Stability
  • +5% Enemy Armor Damage
• 6 Piece:
  • Talent: Striker’s Persistence
    • Every hit adds a self-healing bonus for .1% of max health per second. This bonus is further increased by .01% for every 2000 stamina. Stacks up to 100 hits. Bonus is reduced by .1% every second. Bonus can be removed by EMP.
    • The bonus healing from Striker’s Persistance now takes 2000 Stamina per 0,01% (increased from 1000).

Lone Star

Lone Star: In the previous iteration the relatively low percentage change of gaining the buff mixed with the inability to chain bugs together greatly reduced the impact of the set. In this update, the chance of gaining the Berserk buff has been increased and players can now chain multiple Berserk buffs together.

• 5 Pieces: LMG/Shotgun damage bonus increased to 12% (instead of 8%).
• 6 Pieces: When a weapon has 50% (instead of 25%) of its magazine remaining, there is a 75% chance (instead of 50%) to receive a bonus that activates when the final bullet is fired from the current magazine. Once activated, the magazine is instantly refilled, weapon damage is increased by 20% (instead of 15%), fire rate is increased by 20% (instead of 25%), and stability and accuracy are decreased to 0 (instead of decreased by 15%). The bonus is cancelled by reloading or exiting combat.
• 6 Pieces: The bonus can now trigger of itself with diminishing chances. This means that each time the bonus triggers, the chance for it to trigger again is reduced until the players exits combat or reloads.
• Improvements were made to the visual feedback of the 6 Piece bonus.
• Fixed a bug where the 6 pieces bonus could be activated when shooting while out of combat.

Reclaimer

Reclaimer: We wanted the Classified Reclaimer to be the ultimate support healer build. This led us to the new iteration which allows players building purposefully to guarantee that their cooldown resets when their station is destroyed by an enemy.

• 6 Pieces: Support station gains a 50% chance (instead of 25%) to have no cooldown triggered when it is destroyed by an enemy. This chance is increased by 10% (instead of 2%) for every 2000 Electronics (instead of 1000).

• 5 Piece:
  • +15% Support Station range
  • +25% Support Station duration
• 6 Piece:
  • +50% Support Station revive time
  • +100% Support Station healing speed
  • +100% Support Station health
  • Talent: Improved Reclaimer
    • Support station gains a 25% chance to have no cooldown triggered when it is destroyed by an enemy. This chance is increased by 2% for every 1000 Electronics.

Path of the Nomad

• Fixed a display bug where the talent cooldown icon would not display after the talent effect was triggered.

DeadEYE

• 4 Pieces: Fixed a bug where headshot damage would do less damage than bodyshot damage when scoped in PvP.
• 6 Pieces: Fixed a bug where the bonus would trigger with any weapon type instead of only Marksman Rifles.

Exotics

• NinjaBike messenger bag
  • Talent: NinjaBike messenger bag
    • Slots in with any equipped Gear Set item to fulfill a requirement towards unlocking a Gear Sets bonus. Can unlock bonuses from multiple sets simultaneously. Cannot unlock Classified Gear Set bonuses.

Known issues with Classified Gear Sets

• Sentry 6 piece is not spreading marks to nearby enemies. This will be testable on the 1.7 PTS in a future update.
• Deadeye
  • There are known issues with the WIP Deadeye Classified set that keep the 4 and 6 piece bonuses from working properly. Please refrain from using Deadeye in PTS 1. Deadeye reworked 4 piece and Classified sets will be fixed and testable on the 1.7 PTS in a future update.

• Classified Recalibration:
  • Recalibrating the Primary stat on a classified gear piece is not working properly.
  • We are working on extended primary stat range recalibration to be testable on the 1.7 PTS in a future update.
• Fixed an issue where stats on Classified Gear Sets would roll lower than intended.
