Episode 37: Birds of Prey

BOP: LexCorp Tower

• Players are no longer able to Skip Cutscenes if they have not completed the instance before.
• HIVE/ARGUS now return to LexCorp Tower with a little more gravitas.
• HIVE/ARGUS will now appear in more places after Lobo is defeated.

BOP: Volcano Mining Facility

• Fixed an issue where Harley might get too enthusiastic about going after turrets that have already been destroyed.
• Fixed an issue where Amazo could “T-Pose” when using Rage attacks.
• Fixed an issue where Amazo was using an outdated Bracer Deflect in the first portion of the battle.
• Added a new animation and FX as a tell while Amazo’s Bracer Deflect is active.
• Increased Amazo’s hit points back up for another balance pass.
• Lex Luthor’s purple environment shields now grant high defense instead of damage immunity.
• Kryptonite Turrets start off weaker when first introduced, ‘normal’ stats the second time, and increased defense the third time – negated by Controllers.
• Spaced out the spawning of turrets in both fights to help alleviate lag spikes – please report other instances when lag is most noticeable.

BOP: The Clock Tower

• Elite: During the final boss fight, one ORCL Pulse-bot will be shielded from harm by ORCL Shield Drones. These shield drones must be defeated before that pulse-bot can be harmed or interrupted.
• Adjusted damage and flow of some of Reprogrammed Oracle-Bot's specials (especially for Elite).
• The initial damage hit from Exoblast taken by everyone will no longer ignore shields. The DoT will still ignore shields.
• The damage from Electrosurge will no longer ignore shields.
• When a player's polarity is swapped (change from red to blue or blue to red), they will have about 5 seconds of immunity to the newly opposite Exobyte Overcharge field.
• Atomic powers Density and Mass Density will not change a player's appearance during the fight with the Reprogrammed Oracle-Bot if the player has a red or blue polarity. This is only a visual change - everything else those powers do will still work.
• Difficulty pass for first boss fight boss abilities.
• Corrected the breakout profile on ORCL Pulse-bots.
• Possible fix for red/blue polarity not being applied during the final boss fight after a reset.

BOP: Fire & Brimstone

• Fixed an issue where the final boss' multi-beam attack wasn't functioning in Normal and Event modes.
• Brimstone's Hand Clap should do proper damage now (was nearly doing double damage before).
• Alpha Lex should hold off on attacking during phase changes for a little bit to allow players a chance to aggro him.
• Players should no longer take damage from lava pools during cinematics.
• Final Boss' Rocket Barrage attack now includes a mark on the targeted player so they have time to block.
• Fixed an issue where players standing outside the boss fight could prevent the fight from resetting properly when it is supposed to.
• Elite mechanic added to first boss fight.
• First boss now has additional grounding attacks

General

• Larger Birds of Prey Commendation now has purple background.
• OP Catalysts and Absorption Cells no longer drop for low level players.
• Augment tooltip now contains final breakthrough details.
• Augment tool tip text now appears the correct color.
• Removed incorrect pluralization for Birds of Prey crafting ingredients.
