The Traitor Curse Part 2 Anniversary Update: OUT NOW

[Fotok]

@FatsharkStrawHat

For this patch we have decided to make some changes and addition to make chain weapons play nicer. We hope that this will make all chain weapons more appealing and appreciated on all difficulties.

One big problem with the chain weapons was the risk reward of the sawing attacks. The reward rarely outweighed the risk and frustration of getting stuck and unable to defend yourself. We added so that you can dodge cancel out of these attacks, at the cost of stamina and missing out on the big damage pay off at the end. This will make the iconic sawing less risky and make the weapon more flexible and adaptable in combat.

*YES YES YES but

@Flawless

I think this is a mistake.
Players could still dodge a little bit while sawing.
This will no longer be possible.

Please change it so that blocking cancels the attack, and so that small dodges are still available while sawing.

and we already use block cancel on most weapon which make more sense than dodge cancel for the chain weapon

Talents

• Veteran Tree
  • Moved Talent Nodes in the lower part of the Tree to reduce the amount of points needed to reach the Keystones, which in turn should open the tree up to more opportunities in making a build. This will require talent trees for the Veteran to be reset.

i personally would get ride of some duplicate talent(we have 3 frag/blitz regen/3 frag/blitz modifier and 4 rending/britleness talent) instead of just squeezing everything but its still a good change, now the vet tree is officially the best one by far

@FatsharkStrawHat

Fixed issue where Veteran talent “Onslaught” could be triggered by damage over time effects, like burning or bleeding

so what is fatshark stance about rending blessing working on dot (ex: uncanny strike on soulblaze)(brittleness make sense but not rending from a weapon working on dot not from that same weapon)

Tigrus Mk II Heavy Eviscerator

• Increased damage on initial hit of weapon special activated attacks, light from 0.01 to 85, heavy vanguard from 0.01 to 137.5, heavy strikedown from 0.01 to 160.

isn’t more of a bug fix than a balance change ?

@FatsharkStrawHat

Catachan Mk III Combat Blade

• Increased base power of weapon special jab attack from 150 to 500. Adjusted to attack damage and impact distribution accordingly. Overall this will increase both damage and impact of the attack compared to before.

from what i see in the spykanium it still do the same dmg than before, which is 29 flak 41unarmoured 33 infested 39 maniac 65 unyielding, so nothing between 150/500

@FatsharkStrawHat

Dev note: The Accatran MG Mk II Heavy Laspistol was already strong without the added rate of fire increase

so why did you buff it ? it was already a strong weapon before patch 13, people where just sleeping on it du to boltor meta at that time. i wonder on what you base your balence change, on popularity/most used metrics ? it might explain all the revolver buff…

@FatsharkStrawHat

Standard-issue Munitorum Sapper Shovel

• Push follow up Power:
  • 1st Target 100-200 to 110-250.

realy nice change for all or nothing build, many push attack (mostly the stab one) need a little more love like this so all or nothing would get more value, even through it need some change (a small buff a full stamina ex: 10% dmg at 100% stamina up to 40% under 20%stamina or a duration like desperation talent on zealot tree, or just make a bonus to push up attacks)

@FatsharkStrawHat

Dev note: Due to the recent change about rending we noticed that some blessings over-performed. Hand-Cannon

hand cannon over perform mostly due to the revoler being the faster boltor (aka anti armored unit) so yes you wan’t more dmg penetration (and the other non crit blessing need rework) so the blessing don’t really have competition

@FatsharkCatfish

Damage

Rending

• Any Rend you have is just added. Until you do full damage. After that it still helps you do more damage, just not as much. If you have a shovel that does 20% damage on the big Carapace guys. With 4% rend, you will now do 24% damage, cause 20 plus 4 is 24. On stuff that already does full damage, it will add 1% damage instead. It always adds 1% more for every 4% Rend you have.

@FatsharkStrawHat

Dev note: Rending bonuses is capped at 100%

sorry but just wtf x)

@FatsharkStrawHat

Ragers should now be more easily heard.

the problem was not rager sound, but most elite/specialist sound since (not exactly sure)patch 14, we can get a horde coming from our back with mauler, rager, crusher etc and not making sounding until they start they attack ex: mauler overhead attack, poxhounds/traper not making they spawning sound, etc
