IMPROVEMENTS

TINKER STATION

Note: The Recalibration Station has been reworked, receiving a streamlined flow, UI changes and a new name: Tinker Station.

Mobile Tinkering

• The functionalities of the Tinker Station can also be accessed on the go from the Inventory, in two ways:
  • By pressing [M] while nothing is highlighted, the player will enter the general Tinkering Menu.
  • By pressing [M] while a specific item is selected, it will allow the player to make Tinkering operations directly on the highlighted item.

Expertise

• No changes made following TU20 PTS Phase 1. It can be accessed from the Mobile Tinkering Menu.

Recalibration and Optimization

• Merged both functions into one tab: Tinker
• Optimization can no longer be done up to a value higher than the value stored in the player’s Recalibration Library.
• Optimization upgrade steps changed: the player will no longer pay the full price for an incomplete optimization step.
  • Example: The user has +10% SMG Damage in the Library and is trying to optimize an SMG that currently has +9.7% SMG Damage. Since the highest value in the player’s library is +10%, they will only be able to upgrade by +0.3%, and will only pay the material price for the 0.3%portion instead of paying the full price of an upgrade step.

Recalibration Library

• No changes made following TU20 PT Phase 1.
• It has received UI improvements and can be accessed from the Mobile Tinkering Menu.

COMBAR GEAR LOCK

• When joining another player’s session, the player joining now has a 1 minute grace period before the combat gear lock applies.
• Gear lock no longer in effect in Shooting Range.
• The player can now swap between concussion grenades and the current specialization grenades while in combat.
• Rogue players in Dark Zone are no longer always gear locked, but the combat gear lock still applies.
  • This means that Rogue players in the Dark Zone will be gear locked during combat, as opposed to PTS1, when the lock was applied for the whole duration of the Rogue status.

DESCENT

• Added Descent Outfits in the NSA Store – all 4 different color variants.
• Added “Vindicator” Exotic in the NSA store.
• Descent Talents Pool rotation now has its own menu where the current rotation and available talents can be checked.
• The button prompt for the menu can be found within the Descent entrance AR window.
• The duration of the rotation and its name is now also displayed.

PVP IMPROVEMENTS

Fonte: Trello (board ufficiale TD2)

DARK ZONE

Our objective is to create a more distinct contrast between invaded and uninvaded Dark Zones, allowing players to customize the intensity of their gameplay experience. We anticipate that this approach will attract a larger player base to the Dark Zone.

‌

Rogue Status

• Going Rogue has a 5 second activation time. Previously, 0.75s.
• First Rogue rank time duration increased from 20 to 30 seconds.
• Players with the Rogue status will be unable to switch loadouts or individual gear pieces for the duration of the Rogue status.

‌

STATUS EFFECTS

❗ These adjustments prioritize the PVP experience.

The proposed changes focus on reducing the impact of Status Effects and introducing counterplays. The intention is to make Status Effects in PVP more manageable and provide players with additional options to counteract when under a Status Effect. The changes are primarily aimed at the PvP experience, but we will continue to monitor the PVE impact.

‌

General

• Added diminishing returns* for all Status Effects based on two categories:
  • Crowd Control: Shock, Ensnare, Blind
  • Damage Over Time: Bleed, Burn, Poison

*Diminishing returns means that each subsequent application of the Status Effect of the same category will have a reduced duration until full immunity is reached. Diminishing Returns will not apply in PvE.

• Plague of the Outcasts is now affected by diminishing returns with stacks being halved on each transfer. PVP only.
• Status effects are removed if the effect source is killed (after a short delay) PVP only.

‌

Immobilizing Status Effects

• Reduced severity of immobilizing Status Effects
  • Ensnare: The player will receive a 10% damage reduction to incoming body shots.
  • Shock: The player will have slower movement and is prevented from shooting. PVP only.

Burn

• While burning, rolling in any direction will apply a bonus of 10% burn damage resistance for 5 seconds, up to a maximum of 30%.
  • Rolling 3 times maxes out the bonus.

‌

Bleed

• Not moving grants 10% bleed damage resistance for the duration of the effect.

‌

Repair Skills

• All repair skills (Mender seeker, Reinforcer Chem Launcher, Fixer Drone, Restorer Hive) now give a 50% hazard protection bonus for 5 seconds, only the first time that the agent comes in contact with that instance of the skill_._

‌

Booster Hive

• Added Poison to the list of effects that the Booster Hive cleanses.
• Boost duration now scales with tiers (from 5s to a maximum of 6.5s at skill tier 6).
• Increased maximum range up to 50%.
• Increased drone speed by 20%.

‌

Sticky EMP

• Reduced EMP explosion damage in PvP.
• Lower Skill Tier players will not apply Disrupt to higher Skill Tier players if the difference between them is bigger than 3 (same as jammer EMP).

‌

CONFLICT

Our objective is to differentiate Conflict from other PVP experiences by placing a stronger emphasis on shooting and item selection, rather than relying heavily on SHD level bonuses.

‌

SHD and Expertise Normalization

• All players joining Conflict will have their Expertise and SHD Watch bonuses removed.

Spawn Area

• Turrets were added to all spawn points to prevent spawn camping.
• Loadout switching and individual pieces of gear will be allowed only once per spawn before exiting the spawn area. Once out of the spawn area, the player is no longer allowed to swap.

Rewards Buff

• Extended loot pool.
• Dropped items are now of Legendary Difficulty quality equivalent.
• Cache now gives 2 items, with the possibility for an additional 3rd one.

XP Gain

• Significantly boosted XP gain to align with other game modes.
