Test Discussion Artifact Changes

after reading this I agree with what you said.I hope the devs at least consider this because it’ll change the game and it’ll get a lot of people to take a long break from what I see not including me because I play dcuo with friends and I have fun cause there’s no good games out to play for a while that me and my friends like.I still hope they fix pvp but I know deep down that ain’t happening

I assume this change hasnt hit test yet. Any info when we can test the adjustment?

It should be in todays build along with the tech changes for Ebon allowing the powercost to go through.

Feedback
In tonight's build, it is fairly easy to overlap circles of like colors. Here is a demonstration:


We were able to do this consistently.

Thank you for listening to & fighting for the tanks in the game Ranmaru. If nobody else says it, i really appreciate you for that push.

Think yourself lucky, Ice has no 10,000 supercharges and their arnt any iconic ones to use, so its now impossible to get the max out of eog if your an ice player.

It tends not to be used in healer role as its not a great group heal, and yes it does heal back a small amount in dps role which can be a life saver at times. Interestingly the new Static ally passive 1 will mean if you want to use that passive you will have to have arc lightning in your healer loadout as its triggered by PI. But that's a whole other thread of trouble being discussed.

This is definitely needed and has justification now.

Reduce healer shield costs, give poor nature an 8-man shield, restore natures 2500 cost for transformation making it viable again, and please will someone tell me how Ice is going to benefit from max eog stats when it doesn't have any 10,000 cost supercharges to use?

*Ice Elemental increased SC cost to 10K incoming in 3....2....

Lol

Ice is in a good spot regarding Supercharges. It wont be receiving the benefits from a max EoG, true, but why should it? Not every power has to go hand to hand with every artifact. Theres variety and other options to use.

On a live server, the artifact's healing mechanic works as follows: 3% healing per second (6 seconds) and an additional 18% healing for yourself and allies in general, 36% healing after using supercharge.

On the test server, the second part of the healing is missing, for example, when using 2500 supercharge it is 2% every second ... which in the end will give us only 12% healing compared to the live server where we have 36%, this is three times less ... .

Is this a bug or a planned change?

I'm not on Test right now but it depends. Does the Artifact still have the "Castors Watch Expires" description? If it does that's a bug, if it doesn't then that part of the Artifact was removed along with the stacking.

That's why the heal seemed so dismal when I tried it. Good catch.

The artifact on test still has the original/live description. Those things tend to be updated late.

It seems as though pet damage, trinket pet, ally, is still adding to the Pollux gaze: intended?

I honestly wish the changes were more harsh, this art legit made players not care about Mechs.

For what? If a player leaves cause they won't have a easy route to do damage, then that's not an issue this is a good fix. This one art has made most power sets lag behind due to how well they sync with the artifact. Why should should most powersets be used less cause a powerset like Ice or Electric gain so much from this art? I won't even touch on how it's made players seek out greens and not even care about fight mechs. this art has did so much harm to the game that players wont even admit it.

don't let the criers talk yall into doing something yall don't want. its yalls game just make a choice and roll it out. they will cry and complain and roll through the stages of grief then move on with their lives just like every other Major change we have gone through that was much more than just some artifact

^ This 100%.
I'm In total support of the changes. As a healer and part of a league with many non EOG healers. It's been annoying being pushed aside for EOG healers. let them cry, just like Venom Wrist Dispenser the community will get over the changes. The games become more enjoyable on Xbox side since people learned of the nerf coming and got off their elitist attitudes about only wanting EOG healers.

The Double Melee SC Without Scrap!!

To be honest the basic hit's seems about the 2% with or without scrap.

Talking About the supercharge abbility with Scrap it's a decrease of 66%
Talking About the supercharge abbility without Scrap it's a decrease of 123%

So My Personal Oppinion make sure you fix this problems before hitting in thursday to the live server.

This is a Big Big Differance.


And Fair enough i can't talk about the dps side*.
