Combat Balance Changes

As part of our ongoing balance initiatives and to give us a solid foundation for the future, many changes have been made to combat and Powers. For details, please see the Combat section below.

Hide the Heads-Up Display (HUD) during Gameplay

We have added an option in the Settings menu that allows players the option to turn off the appearance of their HUD during gameplay. This should allow for even more epic video and screenshot creations!

Tier 6 Research and Development

With Game Update 36, Research and Development enters Tier 6! Many of these items will not be available to players until Amazon Fury Part I is available.

Combat
-Jump Canceling Changes:

oChanneled powers and abilities with durations can be canceled by jumping, allowing you to end the ability early without being stuck in an animation for potentially several seconds at a time. The behavior of jump canceling has changed. When jump canceling an ability, you still end the ability instantly and can move instantly, but you may not begin attacking again until you reach the animation “dovetail” for that ability. The dovetails for these abilities vary from between 0.8 and 1 second.

oSee the note below for the "Animation Consistency Pass" for information about specific abilities.

-Weapon Traits Changes

oTwo-Handed

§Hammer Throw now executes much more quickly and is now on par with other range hold attacks. In addition the Two-Handed ranged tap attack now executes much more quickly, is no longer a block breaker, and is no longer vulnerable to interrupt.

oBrawling

§Stomp Smash now executes much more quickly and is now on par with other range hold attacks. In addition the Brawling ranged tap attack now executes much more quickly, is no longer a block breaker, and is no longer vulnerable to interrupt.

oBow

§Long Draw now executes much more quickly and behaves like a standard hold range attack.

oRifle

§ Rifle Shot now causes additional damage, causes block break instantly, hits multiple enemies, and generally behaves like a hold range attack.

§ Grenade Launcher is now significantly faster, causes less damage, splits damage between all targets, is no longer a block breaker, is no longer immediately vulnerable to interrupt, and generally behaves like a tap range attack

-Animation Consistency Pass:

oAs part of ongoing balance improvements, a balance pass on all combat animations was performed. This should eliminate a wide variety of chronic complaints that are ultimately caused by animations that are either longer or shorter than they should be.

o Animations were standardized and will fall within the following ranges for the following types of abilities:

§Channeled and sustained abilities that can be jump canceled have a dovetail time of between 0.8 and 1.0 second.

§Weapon attacks, combo abilities and abilities that cause "Precision" based damage have a maximum dovetail time of 1.35 seconds.

§Tray abilities such as super powers, consumable items and trinkets have a dovetail time between 1.0 and 1.2 seconds.

oThe following abilities now reach their animation dovetails more quickly, allowing you to execute your next attack again more quickly than before:
