WildStar Winter Beta 4 Patch Notes – Warmaggedon

 
At the point when WildStar Winter Beta is almost over, we are getting another significant and probably last update in this phase of beta. Carbine Studios has been really busy and the list of improvements is really long.
 

So here is the full patch notes of all changes (be ready to do some scrolling or use search, though):

Patch Highlights

• No new content for this patch, but thousands upon thousands of bug fixes and polish!

Classes

This patch comes with numerous updates to Ability Mechanics for the Engineer, Medic, and Stalker. Those class changes can be seen in their individual patch notes. Additionally, we have performed a major pass on the AMP System that includes a reduction to the total number of AMPs by “trimming the fat” and removing AMPs that were deemed lackluster or redundant. AMP Trees and Branches now have a consistent layout to assist both in balance and in user flow. These updated layouts should have more logical sense in terms of what sort of AMPs are placed where. Additionally, these updates required the introduction of some new AMPs for places where none of the previous AMPs fit properly.

Moving forward, the Class Team is going to be focused on bug fixing and balance. That focus goes beyond just the classes, and will include Items, Gadgets, and Food balance.

General

• Limited Action Sets can now be switched while mounted.
• Tank stances have had their threat bonus raised from 150% to 200%.
• Healing has had its threat reduced considerably.
• Reduced health regeneration rates on levels 10+ (Starting at +5s from empty to full at level 10 and ending at +10s to full at level 50).
• Classes now unlock tanking stances at level 10.
• Stalker now unlocks Agile Stance at level 15.
• Classes now unlock their second action set at level 15 (down from 20).

• String updates for PvP Offense and Defense.
• The Elder Game AMP Unlock item now properly says you can only earn up to 55 AMP Power.
• Fixed an issue that was causing some stacking buffs and debuffs to suffer unintentional diminishing returns.
• Dash tooltip now properly tells you it takes you 8 meters instead of 10.
• AMPs should now show up on the commodities market.
• Resolved a number of issues related to Ability Points not updating correctly.
• Fixed a bug that was causing Deflect Critical to counter Critical heals.
• Ability Tooltips will now list the first decimal place of ranges.
• Fixed issues with some telegraphs not showing their timing properly.
• Fixed an issue that would cause Stun breakout gameplay to not occur when suffering multiple. Crowd Control Abilities.
• Casting the same spell a 2nd time should no longer interrupt itself. It will be queued instead using the ability queuing rules (ignored if queuing is turned off).
• Amps – the points spent on a tier in a hybrid category cannot be used to unlock a lower tier of a base category. The UI will no longer tell you that the base tier is unlocked when it isn’t.
• Changing action sets will now despawn any pets, as well as, kill any player-initiated spells that were active.
• The change to perform a Critical Heal on a target is no longer reduced by the target’s Deflect Critical stat.
• Players no longer regenerate sprint energy while jumping.
• Fixed some issues with pets not properly attacking the player’s target when set to Assist.
• Clicking the “Clear All” button in the Abilities Builder now clears the ability in the path slot.
• AMPs that were previously available via the Adventure Reputation vendors are now available at the relevant Zone Reputation vendor.

AMPs

More Consistent AMP Tree Layouts

• All classes now have 15 AMP Series in Rank 1.
  • All AMP Series now start in Rank 1.
• All classes now have 39 total Inlaid AMPs
  • All Inlaid AMPs are found in Rank 2 and Rank 3.
  • Inlaid AMP Power Cost has been increased.
    • All Rank 2 Inlaid AMPs now require 4 Power.
    • All Rank 3 Inlaid AMPs now require 6 Power.

Clearer AMP Tree Progression

• Unlocking AMPs in one branch no longer contributes to unlocking adjacent branches.
  • Hybrid branches now have Rank 1 AMPs and no longer require points to be spent in adjacent branches.
• Rank 2 of all branches now requires 3 Power to unlock.
• Rank 3 of all branches now requires 11 Power to unlock.

Individual AMP Adjustments

• A significant number of AMP Series and Series Caps have been removed.
  • These were AMPs that we deemed lackluster or redundant.
• A number of Inlaid AMPs have been replaced (or redesigned entirely) by other existing AMPs that were not previously Inlaid AMPs.
  • Again, these were AMPs that we deemed lackluster or redundant.
• AMP placement has been adjusted to make more sense logically.
  • For example, most AMPs that required you to be low health were moved to the Hybrid/PvP Trees.

Engineer

The Engineer received a number of updates to AMPs, Bots, their Innate, and their ability usage. Bots now have better damage output, increased usability of special abilities, and improved survivability. ExoSuits have received a pass to increase the Engineer’s mobility, rather than the opposite, and they now have shorter cooldown to increase their frequency of use. Finally, we have made many adjustments to how abilities work both through, updates to base spells, and Major Tiers.

Medic

The Medic has seen a lot of changes this patch including changes to AMPs, ability usage, fields, probes, their Innate, and a substantial visual update to animations and effects.

The ability changes focused on speeding up the Medic’s rotation a bit by increasing the tick rate of basic abilities, and adding potential Actuator generation into other abilities, either on the base level or via tiers. Medic fields have seen a pretty good boost, and now all have faster tick rates for more responsive damage. The Probe mechanics have seen some serious overhaul to make them more impactful at the base level, and adding the detonation mechanic in via tiers.

Lastly we’ve added in a passive Shield Mitigation mechanic into the Medic’s direct shield heals, via their Innate, to add back in the “ward” healer mechanic, while still maintaining the overall balance on shields that we have shifted to.
