Heroes Patch Notes - March 27, 2018

Known Issues[]

  • (PS4 and Xbox Only) The tutorial may crash immediately after the first kill two enemies step. This should only occur once per account, and should not occur again after a restart.
  • Attempting to dismount the mag rider during the tutorial by using the “Mount” button may result in the player being stuck. This can be resolved by recalling to the hub – by default, hold up on the D-Pad or use the “H” key to recall.
  • The Digital Daemon costume for the Neon Ninja unfortunately has a few glitches.
  • When crafted on the Resistor Workbench, a weapon style is being granted that cannot be seen in Collections. This weapon style will be made visible as soon as possible.
  • Collecting this costume from the Greater Neon Caches is not granting this weapon style. This style will be granted to anyone who collected the costume this way once the weapon style is visible.
  • We have fixes for these on the way in a hotfix coming soon.

New Class - Vanguardian[]

  • Swooping in to the spotlight, the Vanguardian’s here to save the day!
  • The Vanguardian packs a punch with new Fist weapons and always comes out swinging.
  • Punch or pew - the ability to switch between ranged and melee controls the fighting space.
  • Go KAPOW your way to victory – it’ll be super, just sayin’.
  • This potent punching powerhouse can be crafted with in-game resources on the Resistor workbench.
  • A badge has been added for unlocking the Vanguardian.

Luminopolis[]

  • A new sub-biome has been added to Neon CityLuminopolis!
  • A colorful cityscape, Luminopolis is being conquered by the Amperium led by Ampress C455-Andra.
  • The Resistors are fighting back against the Amperium, constructing new points of interest in Luminopolis. Called Outposts, here players can find Resistor Workbenches and take Outpost Adventures. Up to 3 Outpost Adventures can be in progress at a time and up to 20 can be completed in a day.
  • Hoshizora, Luminary of Hope and Rhom-10, Dissent’s Roar are two new Ancestral Dragons who’ve come to join the battle (and ride the rails.)
  • Assist the Resistors by attacking the Amperium and gain valuable new resources like Plasmium and Sentience Shards.
  • The Neon City Scrap Case is a new box that can drop from NPCs and chests in Neon City and Luminopolis, containing commonly found materials to the region.
  • Use these new resources at the Resistor Workbench to craft the new Vanguardian class, 14 new Allies, 7 new mounts, the Windtunnel Wings, 5 new Tomes, 18 new Frameworks, and a +50% Adventurine potion. There are also 11 new costumes – a Kami-themed costume for the Dino Tamer, an Amperium-themed costume for the Neon Ninja, 2 costumes for the vanguardian, and 7 Resistor-themed costumes for the Knight, Gunslinger, Boomeranger, Revenant, Tomb Raiser, Vanguardian, and Pirate Captain.
  • A terraformer for Luminopolis can be crafted from the Worldspring bench or the Resistor Workbench.
  • Robot NPCs are now healed while standing in plasma.
  • Those blocks you found while lasermancing in Luminopolis are totally intended. You'd best keep it a secret.

Rampages[]

  • These bosses are designed to be more along the lines of "large aggressive pinatas" and less along the lines of "#1 WORLD FIRST BEST TROVE 2018." We're aware they will be bullied, trapped, and poked fun at but so are they. It's intended that their HP system will make some classes more competitive than they are in the existing meta.
  • A new challenge appears!
  • Find and fight the invading Gigastormers in Luminopolis – whether it’s a Titanic Tentakiller, a Trojan Propagator, or a proxy of C455-Andra herself.
  • Gain a Sentience Shard daily for participating in a Rampage.
  • Rampages have 3 stages, each of which grant a Lesser Neon Cache.
  • Lesser Neon Caches contain Flux, Plasmium, Charged Circuits, Logic Loops, Memory Matrixes, and fragments for Rhom-10 or Hoshizora.
  • Several Badges have been added for completing Rampages.
  • Rampage Challenges Completed has been added to /stats.

Beacons[]

  • Beacons are a new craftable item that allows players to summon Gigastormers to their club worlds for a bloc beatdown.
  • Each Beacon summons a specific Gigastormer and can be crafted on the Resistor workbenches in Luminopolis.
  • Beacons are not tradable, and can only be thrown in a club world by the club’s members.
  • The player who throws a Beacon always receives a Sentience Shard when the Beacon is thrown. When the Gigastormer is defeated, up to 8 players will receive 1-3 Neon City Scrap Cases.
  • Gigastormers spawned from a Beacon during a Rampage will count towards the Rampage.

VFX Culling[]

  • General priorities go as follows:

  • Medium – VFX associated with the environment (for example, torches)
  • Low – VFX associated with other players (except in Battle Arenas, where this is High)

Expertise Threads[]
