By Ambassador Kael | Wed 09 Jan 2019 02:46:53 PM PST
General:
- Resolved an issue that was causing the Discovery Klingons to not use modern torpedoes.
- Resolved an issue that was causing the Type 7 Shuttle to not appear in the reclaim store.
- The Borg engine attachment is now properly seated on the nacelle for the Dinaes Warbird Destroyer (T6)
- Resolved an issue that was causing the Male Caitian Ears to clip through the Vedek Hood.
- Resolved an issue that was causing the Duty Officer weekend to display on the Calendar.
Content:
- Captains can now access and begin playing the first episode in any story arc.
- The Crystalline Entity TFO has been updated with various changes to match the Event version:
- There is now a 30 second Mission Briefing time before the TFO begins.
- This allows players time to join the TFO and read the briefing if necessary, before taking on the Entity.
- The Entity shards that it deploys are now immune to control effects.
- Small Shards will no longer buff the Entity’s damage for the entire TFO.
- Instead, they will give the entity buff stacks towards a more powerful Energy Release after its Absorption Phase.
- This change results in a potentially stronger Energy Release attack.
- In response to that, we’ve added a growing AoE indicator to show the area of the Energy Release and how long it will be before it goes off.
- The Energy Release attack no longer is guaranteed to hit if caught in the AoE indicator when it releases, allowing players to outrun the blast if fast enough.
- The Entity Beam attacks no longer apply a Flight Speed debuff to players.
- Instead, Large Shards on Advanced Difficulties will apply a Flight Speed debuff if they are able to explode on a player.
- The Entity is now entirely immune to damage while in its Absorption Phase.
- We wanted this phase to be about avoiding the Energy Release and preventing the shards from buffing the attack.
- The Entity Absorption Phase is now 15 seconds long rather than 30 seconds.
- This was the case on advanced versions of the queue but is now in parity with Normal.
- Once the Entity has been destroyed it will explode into many Small Salvageable Crystal Fragments, these fragments can be destroyed to gain 1-5 Salvage from each of them.
- Resolved an issue that was causing enemies in the TFO, “Tzenkethi Front” to not appear with a bombs needed to complete the mission objectives.
- Tzenkethi Battlezone has received several updates:
- Increased timer for area reset from 10 minutes to 15 minutes.
