Messing up Ultron's summons on non-movie costumes just when you need to play Ultron to get the new Mystic Mayhem achievement is a nice touch from Gaz, I have to say.

Currently both Ultron drones talents says "ranged drones" and using the classic and the ultron-11 costume summon 6 ranged drones.
Using the golden costume summon 3 melee and 3 ranged but without the flamethrower and missiles while using the movie costume summon 3 melee and 3 ranged with the flamethrower and missiles working as it should be.

Apparently Kitty Pryde and Luke Cage are going to be receiving some love soonish according to MichaelMayhem. Luke's update will be "focused around making his Combo system more fluid via faster, more reliable Finishers, increasing his mobility, emphasizing his Heroes for Hire as true-to-life companions, and creating more defined builds in his talents," he says.

The radar ping's ICD is apparently an undocumented nerf rather than a bug, and since he wasn't exactly topping the charts back when you could ping on every combo max it's not great.

The only way it isn't true is if the QA dev who reported it was wrong, since they did actually reply about it at last. They are planning to just document the nerf in the trait next patch, rather than make him playable (it's currently impossible to ever get Tornado Kick's double damage on a single target with 2/3 specs).
I'm just not totally discounting the possibility that the guy is confused or doesn't actually know what he's talking about, I guess. If this nerf/tooltip correction does go through though, well, :rip: Daredevil.

Meanwhile on TC, Iron Fist's Deliberate Tempo talent has been nerfed into the ground as expected. Apparently "Squirrel Girl metric data showed several mechanics were causing certain builds to be incredibly overtuned", so she ate a bunch of nerfs as well. :iiam: And the Daredevil nerf that isn't actually a nerf because the trait always was totally intended to work the way it does now is there as well. :gaz:

Today's :gaz: moment: people receiving 600 splinters to compensate for the removal of an unusable/duplicate stash tab when Asros had gone on record as saying there would be no compensation for its removal. This probably is an unintended side effect of people receiving compensation (which was meant to happen) for the removal of a different unusable/duplicate stash tab.

:siren: Nick Fury's on TC.

Chufmoney posted:

Hey Everyone,

Together with the rest of the Powers team we've created our take on Nick Fury.

What you'll find with Fury is that he's primarily a ranged character as you level him up. So, as you might expect, his primary resource is Ammo. Powers have a set ammo cost but don't require the exact amount to activate, meaning you can use a power you don't technically have the cost for. When he's out of ammo there's a brief cooldown period before ammo auto-reloads.

Expect lots of rifle and grenade powers in his low levels and into his 30s. He has a few call-in powers such as an airstrike, but largely you'll be relying on his roll to stay out of combat and blast away at enemies with a number of cooldown powers in your rotation.

Once you're unlocking talents, this is where Fury's layers open up a bit. In talents you'll find options to call in assists from heroes like Falcon and Warmachine, turn a ranged power into a PBAoE, and augment your signature power. Take time going through this (and try out his Life Model Decoy -- it looks awesome).

For those looking for a summoner Fury, the right side of his talents tree is what you'll be looking for. Here you can call in a cadre of shield agents to your side. They don't stick around forever, but anytime you hit someone with a power they jump right back into the fight. You can mix and match what your Fireteam looks like.

Have fun with Fury, and let us know what you think.
Also the Infinity system changes, the Luke and Kitty updates, and the Medusa team-up. If you're into that sort of thing, I mean.

Undocumented change on TC: characters whose offensive trait grants +25% critical hit damage have had that reduced to +15%.

I'm not sure that amounts to much in practice, but still. :gaz:

Edit: so apparently +X% critical damage bonuses now affect brutal damage as well, which I guess makes this OK after all? And maybe even the Hawkeye/Mr Fantastic synergies too. :iiam:

the most baffling thing about nick fury is he just summons generic SHIELD agents instead of any of the unique SHIELD agents that have models and names and animations already right there for him to use

why did they think that was a good idea
Same reason Luke Cage can't have all four summons out at the same time due to its making combat more of a mess visually, and yet as recently as Black Bolt they've come up with powers that poo poo out obnoxiously opaque VFX.

On the bright side, they WERE ammo cost reductions for his powers.
On the dimly Gazzy side, no one said they were changes to make some powers charged cooldowns instead of ammo spenders.
I mean, yeah, they were going to make him a little smoother to play, but they weren't going to change anything about the fact he's going to be a fundamentally uninspired if not phoned-in character. With Gaz one has to take what one can get, I suppose.

It's adorable that a showstopper bug that stops you from getting past the first leg of chapter 3 went live (after being reported very early in the last TC span) on the same day Asros posted a wall of text being incensed that people are claiming the devs ignore our feedback. And, of course, since there's a new hero, methinks people might want to be playing story.

Well, okay, if you have your XP bonuses high enough you can actually hit 60 before you get to this point, but that's a different design issue.
I skipped past it to chapter 4 only to get stuck on the "defeat enemies" objective in the MGH warehouse instead. (Edit: at least resetting the instance fixes it.)

What a shitshow.

If he has nothing else going for him, at least Nick Fury is voiced by Keith David. He also laughed a lot after defeating MODOK (though I didn't catch his actual line) and that was fun.

I didn't phrase it very well, but yes that is what I meant. While levelling Nick Fury I discovered you can't go straight to/through the Ancient Ruins portal and gain a tonne of XP by talking to Heimdall any more either, for example.

As a ~new player experience~ thing I suppose it makes some sense, but if you've levelled God knows how many characters to 60 before it's just tedious.
