In this update we have the first of several MSK Stat adjustments, a new default AOE Blast attack, several Quality of Life improvements and numerous bug fixes.
In addition, we will be laying out the update plans for '21
IN THIS UPDATE
MSK Stats
-Mobility Stat now increases the corruption/overheat rate, meaning JUNA will be faster and dodge (doge?) more easily but their stamina will be reduced. The rate will improve as your MOV stat increases.
This is the reverse of how it worked before, where the KP stat increased the overheat rate. This will continue to be tuned as we tweak the different stat bonuses.
-Max Energy Capacity will also be increased by 100 per MOV Stat point.
-Max Energy will be reduced by 100 per SUR Stat point.
The New BLAST attack (defaults to C-key in Key Input) is an AOE Blast that will increase in damage and range per KP Point. The blast is super effective against swarms of smaller targets and deadly to all enemies at higher levels.
BUGS / QoL
-Fixed and issue with the Blip controls.
-Additional Power Core throughout the levels.
-Add 'Saving' Text at all Local Relays.
'21 and Beyond
We plan to continue to tune the MSK Stats to create more diverse options and support different playstyles. These tweaks will be added each update throughout the year. If you love something/or hate something, let us know!
Cinematics
Cine sequences are massive undertakings and they were shelved early on to focus on gameplay - we will be adding in new cinematic sequences to help convey more of the ultra-deep universe that CoH is set in.
If you are a fan of lore, or want to read more about the CoH world(s) in general, check out the Tabletop Game Rulebook, our prequel novel 'sparks' available for print or free ebook, or our collection of short stories, Terminus. or get them on Amazon, here and here.
Thanks for your continued support!
