  • Psychic Shockwave
  • Drain Psyche
  • Oppressive Gloom

  • Whirling Hands
  • Foot Stomp
  • Stalagmite
  • Poison Gas Arrow
  • Circle of Thorn Crystals
  • Devouring Earth Eminators
• Brute and Scrapper versions of Invincibility taunt effect should now work properly.
• Animate Stone’s attack powers now use knock down, not knock back. Really. We mean it this time!
• Power Thrust: Corrected an issue with PvP Knockback suppression.
• Assault Rifle Sniper Rifle: Fixed the ‘hitch’ in the animation that happened if used in conjunction with Targeting Drone.
• Assault Rifle will no longer root the player while being drawn.
• Assault Rifle/Sniper Rifle power animation will no longer interrupt itself, which will prevent the power from appearing to be interrupted when it’s really not. This was specifically reported as happening with Targeting Drone active.
• Will Domination and Dominate rooting time while flying is now the same as standing.
• Drain Psyche’s rooting time has been reduced and changed to work more consistently.
• Added priority values to help correct Mastermind Thug pets from wearing the incorrect costumes and Kheldian from slipping back into “human” mode.

Zones

• Pocket D: Repositioned some out of place NPCs and objects.

UI

• Base Salvage is now all categorized under “Base”. This is done to clean up the lists for when Invention Salvage is added.

Game

• Improved server stability.
• Improved game stability, including a possible issue with capes that could lead to a client crash.

  We are still evaluating these issues, so if you have any problems that bring up a client crash report, please choose ‘submit’.

City of Heroes

Zones

• Steel Canyon: The proper sky now appears in this zone.
• The storm that had blown over Founders Falls and Croatoa has moved on and the more appropriate sky should now be seen there.
