[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Nanite Focus devices have had their description updated to reflect their ability to shift your entire form."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Changed Stoke the Coals. -5 Healgain changes to 3 passive heat damage on self per turn. The power originally used -5 regen, which hurt yourself, then changed to -5 Healgain as a downside, which also (accidentally) hurt yourself instead of reducing healing potency, and now turned into simple self-damage."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Bug in Single-Target DoTs for Concentrated Users should be fixed, now. Missing a + in there."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Where'd the Cosm go? To the Gym! Find the jellied giant in the Woodfield Gymnasium, around the ground floor!"

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Treant has been given Color Chooser and Kemonomimi support!"

[Update] Highway Song says, "Frantic Cleave slightly buffed. 5 charge -> -200 charge."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Fixed the Pewter Consort torso description being cut off without Color Chooser enabled due to malformed parsing."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Made debuffclear a bit more efficient by filtering the debuffs before they make it into the more significant checks. For those who are interested in how, you can do so by reading the output of man array_regmatchkey"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Wasteland paladin's negative skills removed, and those skills that were added for it have also been removerated."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Debuffclear does not display, since in the choice between having it be unacceptably slow and showing up constantly, neither is good, but the former is at least nice for those whose screens aren't a billion lines tall."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Cheerleader has been buffed. Eternal Cheer: DebuffResist -7 -> 3. Pom Pom Sway: Charge 1000 -> 500, Healing 10 -> 15. Impossible Stunt: Energy Cost 0 -> 20, Charge: 2000 -> 1400, Cooldown 30000 -> 20000."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Buffed Get Down. Cut cooldown 12k -> 10k, and it now applies Large AoE Ally cover at 20 mag for 5 rounds."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Changed Paralytic Venom's damage type from Blunt to Poison."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Dragon Tail buffed. 15 -> 20 damage, 4 -> 5 knockdown, added 10 mag DelayDebuff for 3 rounds."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Due to the foresight required to account for the long charge, delay timer, upgrade slot limits, and NoAoE target, buffed Spring Trap. PierceDamage 40 -> 50, BleedingDamage 5 power/10 rounds -> BleedingDamage 10 power/5 rounds. Total damage increase is 90 -> 100. Weaker overall than the comparable Lockjaw/Elemental Blast, but more useful to apply at the start of a fight and achieve results worth the wait before it ends."

[Update] Highway Song says, "After more thought, Rapid Fire has been buffed again. 25 -> 50 charge, added 5 InstantCooldown for 2 turns, 10 -> 25 Vampiric. Reasoning: Power was last adjusted under the assumption that -1000 ATB was still instant, though it can swallow parts of a turn now. Since enhancing the status also hampers you with negative accuracy, as well as taking time in a fight, stronger upsides were needed to make it worthwhile."

[Update] Highway Song says, "A new class has been added to the RSX Solutions Training and Procedures shop: Heroic Outlaw, focusing on single-target, Big Hits, and Vibrant Strikes."

[Update] Highway Song says, "After comparison with other single-target Big Hits, slightly cut the energy cost of Headshot from 40 -> 35."

[Update] Highway Song says, "In the same vein, cut Engulf's energy cost from 45 -> 35. Compare to Headshot, Slip Beneath, and Drain Vitae."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Are you absurdly powerful? Or is that party you're in uncanny in how great it is? Maybe you might try the mega 15 prime. Maybe you might find another badge, more probably than maybe, since we're a bit beyond that point. Most likely the last badge I ever intend to add to the mega primes."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Okay, mega 69 is the true cap."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Adjusted Cruel Strike. Charge: 500 -> 0, Damage: 20 -> 5. Added 100/2/5 Blunt, Piercing, and Slash DoT damage. Removed 100/20/5 StatusBoostDebuff + 100/3/3 InstantCooldownDebuff in favor of 100/20/5 DelayDebuff + 100/10/5 ChargeDebuff. Reasoning: The power was underwhelming in practice before, and this change makes it work more toward the strengths of its class. Also adjusted Midnight Slash. 800 -> 400 charge, removed Taunt status. Reasoning: Lower charge makes it a more competitive alternative to other Big Hit powers, and the Taunt status was interfering negatively with Taunting Strikes on other classes."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Adjusted Bludgeon. Removed Knockdown, Charge: 800 -> 600, RepeatAttackDuration: 4 -> 2 rounds (faster damage ticks). Reasoning: The knockdown was extraneous and only applied on the first hit, and this makes it more comparable to other Minor AoE repeating powers like Crash and Burn with different upsides/downsides."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Fixed Raking Claws missing the Brawling proficiency bonus."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Updated the 'test' crafting command to A) show recipes and modifiers in Capitalized words, B) Actually show Modifier names, and C) have #maker actually function when you use it."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Both #maker and #makers should work, now."

[Update] Nuku , "Craftmod Selective Trade is expended by the time you see the choices. Reconnecting will result in item loss, beware."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Made a minor tweak to Frontline Soldier's combat skills. Scavenger 1 -> Outnumbered 1."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Revised several of Tail Guard's powers. Talk to the Paw's Defense 10 -> DamageResist 2, changed the cover status to apply to teammates and not impotently to yourself. Threatening Bite's energy cost 18 -> 12, which is more in line with similarly damaging powers (while accounting for its high accuracy and aggro draw). On All Fours has received the largest revision. It is now a toggle that increases status resistance, damage output, and gives per-round self-heal and vampiric in exchange for a stacking self-applied Psychic DoT the longer it is active. For those curious, disabling the toggle immediately removes all of its effects, including the Psychic DoT."

[Update] Nuku grunts, "Covered status now gives a 33% reduction instead of 50%."

[Update] Nuku mewps, "For testing purposes, covered set to 40% (was 50%, then 33%, now 40%, let the tweaks continue)."

[Update] Highway Song says, "More adjustments for Tail Guard. Bark and Growl: 2->3 passive large AoE enemy damage, changed type from Psychic to Sonic, re-added Taunt status and changed it's chance 10% -> 50%, magnitude 5 -> 1. Threatening Bite: Increased damage 19 -> 21, see 'Gouging Claws' for a similar power. Overhauled On All Fours again: Suite of buffs made more defensive again, with 20 mag PowerAmpSonic to synergize with Bark and Growl. Self-damage DoT reduced to 3 mag and limited to 5 stacks (15 per round total at full stack)."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Prickly skin's trigger no longer applies a taunt."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "The Seeker of Puzzles form, Zoot Suit, has been updated."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Frontline Soldier's class abilities have been reworked. Never Stop: Added 10 mag KnockdownResist. Pinning Barrage: Cut accuracy 55% -> 25%, added 10 repeats over 5 rounds, increased Taunt duration 3 -> 5 rounds, increased cooldown 4000 -> 5000, increased energy cost 20 -> 25. Get Down: Increased damage 15 -> 20, reduced RechargeDebuff duration 10 -> 5, increased accuracy 75 -> 80, lowered energy cost 30 -> 25."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Reworked several of Heroic Outlaw's class powers. Alms Wide Open has been buffed: Large AoE -> Nuke AoE to apply to a full party, HealGain 2 -> 5, CredBonus 2 -> 2.5, Salvage 2 -> 2.5. Foxy Subterfuge did not suit the class and would often not work correctly, so it was replaced with Aim True, a toggle AoE NotUser buff that grants 5 Accuracy, 5 PowerAmpPierce, and a defensetrigger to the party. Split the Arrow has been left unchanged. Lincoln Green has been revised, now granting the LockedON binary and 15 PowerAmpPierce at the expense of the Exposed binary."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Fixed several bugs in the Small Felinoid talkscript. It now only attempts to latch on to they player if they have a breast size of 1 or greater, and it now properly detaches if you're fully infected with Small Felinoid (it did not previously due to malformed stringparsing)."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Buffed Anarchist's Last Bullet ability. Added Marksmanship proficiency scaling, 5 Penetration, and drastically reduced cooldown from 50000 -> 20000 so as not to suck up InstantCooldown for ages after revive."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Couple of changes to Anarchist. 1) Update to class skill spread. Opportunity 1 -> 0, Enduring Malice 2 -> 3. Reasoning: Anarchist slightly underperformed for a DoT DPS class, and this helps cover for that. 2) Replaced the posthumous 'Last Bullet' power with 'Improvised Explosives'. Reasoning: Last Bullet, while conceptually unique, was somewhat of a disappointment for a 4th class ability, so it was replaced by a large AoE, big-risk-big-reward power that better reflects the class's theme of chaos."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "+recipe has been given Damage Type variable acceptance."

[Update] Streamlined! Harlow says, "Added a whole bunch of new Subcategories to the Mutant Powers page on the Wiki."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "In RPInfo entries, the altered Damage Type variant from teh base template will now show as the damage type of the Mutant Power."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Option 66 in Editplayer altered to turn the LFG channel turn-on on login into an opt in option and not an opt out option."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Knockout Mouse has been updated with an Infection Update to support Leg Splitter."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "The Mini NICE Expansion mako pool's fully completed, and the item is now available in the Elite Shop! Those who donated 25+ have received their Incrementally Nice badges, and those who donated 30+ received a copy of the item for each 30 they donated!"

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "The pry command is now functional at the Upgrade Dojo. This will allow you to remove upgrades with a rating greater than 0 from powers with upgrades you possess. Doing so will produce a non-tradeable Upgrade item with the same rating as what you'd removed. All badges have been given out to donators of 50+ mako to this mako pool."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "This will now also remove it from all respecs containing the same power/upgrade combination."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "PEnding refining to current."

[Update] Highway Song says, "A new NPC has been added to Zephyr. Meet Doctor Curry, a psychologist and hypnotist who can be found in the Zephyr Psych Department's Therapy Rooms and Offices. Content written in full by Arthur."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Pry will now only remove from the most recently loaded Respec as well as your current setup (To prevent potential abuse). It will also remove Damage Type properties, so, be sure to restance when you've completed an upgrade removal on a power which you still have damage variance."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Small change to Tail Guard. Endurance 2 -> 1, Damage 1 -> 2. Reasoning: This change solidifies Tail Guard as a resilient solo option with medium-high damage output while maintaining its use in teams."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Negative class skills will no longer be charged for children."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Deeper within the East Forest, another wolfish figure has emerged. The wild Timber Wolf has been sighted. (For those of you wanting an Anthro wolf form that's actually an anthro wolf, this is for you)"

[Update] Highway Song says, "Fixed Crash and Burn and Potent Conflagration having different RepeatAttack durations. The powers are now identical again at 0.5 duration, as intended."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Tail Guard overhauled. Role: Taunt tank -> Cover-based off-tank. Skill changes: Taunting Strikes 2 -> 0, Endurance 1 -> 3. Added 0.5 base DamageResist to Talk to the Paw. Changed Bark and Growl to a minor damage and debuff toggle. Removed additional aggro generation from Threatening Bite, increased the damage 25 -> 28, and lowered the cooldown 4000 -> 3000. Removed self-damage from On All Fours."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Class skill adjustment for Berserker. Taunting Strikes 1 -> 0, Rage 2 -> 3. Reasoning: Thematically, it makes sense for Berserker to grow more powerful the more hurt it is, more so than most other classes. Mechanically, Taunting Strikes was more often a hindrance than a help due to overriding other tanks' TS 2-3 damage reduction."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Couple updates to combat: Statuses that exist on a character that come from non-partied sources are removed at the beginning of combat (this doesn't include item or enemy statuses, only player statuses who aren't partied with you at the beginning of combat). Also, if you are in combat, statuses/effects that are from non-partied players will no longer affect you, if they did. If you are set to receive help, so long as you are outside of combat, you can still be affected, but, when in combat, you cannot unless they are in your party."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Class skill adjustment for Tousky Party Escort. Warded 2 -> 0, Taunting Strikes 1 - > 3. Reasoning: Mechanically, TS1 interfered with other tank taunt damage reduction."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Children should spawn more commonly for those outside combat."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "things that come with their own groin in your inventory should now show their ah... Sex... I suppose."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Since female has the word male in it, now your kids... And maybe pets, will now have the correct sex as indicated."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, ""Bag is full!" issue fixed in the Pry command."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "In case it wasn't noticed last night, there is a new dedication class available. The Life Sapper works with the techniques learned by the Acolytes to be harnessed effectively(?) in combat!"

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "If a taunt is delivered but a taunt status is set by someone with higher taunting strikes already, it will skip marking who did the taunt. Curious side effect, this means sub-taunters are actually HELPING the primary taunter, since it will remain on the higher taunter while still delivering the taunt status for potentially longer."

[Update] Nuku rustles, "Intense Training now gets some technical status!"

[Update] Nuku gurgles, "Pry now works anywhere."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Combat skill adjustment to Tail Guard. Endurance 3 -> 2, Penetration 0 -> 1."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Fixed Animal Familiar not having a target set."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Some additional slots assigned to various Pocketables."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Mercs should now have the correct Hunting Team when they're created. This isn't retroactive, though, so, you may want to resend mercs out after dismissing them."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "For active groups, simply "pleader" to your current leader (or shuffle and then back), which will automatically change the Hunting Team of the merc."

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "New merit available, Native Breeder."

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "Hard Skin and Reflective Skin now give 10% reduction in incoming damage of physical or energy type."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch taps papers against the desk, "I'm sad to say, but we had to implement a nerf due to how overpowered its usage was. Instead of 5 rounds of 5 damage from Toxic upgrades, it's now 5 rounds of 3 damage. Stygian has received a nerf as well, reducing its active enemy damage from 5 to 3 and its duration from 6 to 4. Since it adds Status Duration, after all. For now, that is all. We're trying our best to ensure balance, and we hope this isn't too damning. That is all, for now."

[Update] Nuku carols, "Easily Medicated now gives +10% to all incoming heals. Enjoy the heals!"

[Update] Nuku timidly giggles, "Tough merit reduced in price from 7 to 5. Already have it? You got a refund. This is automagic!"

[Update] Divided By Hinoserm quietly yips, "As a temporary fix until we find a permanent solution to the current issues, the webserver will automatically restart at the 15th minute of both 7AM and 7PM every day. This should hopefully help with the web lockups we've been having."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "The 'Confused' status might not affect NoAoE powers any more. Testing required."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Fixed the Combat Android having the invalid power 'Head Shot' instead of Headshot."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Mitch the husky no longer asks for crafted clothes."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Fixed a potential bug that could prevent the Martyr template from spawning."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Fixed Impossible Stunt giving the invalid -Confusion instead of -Confused. Changed Aim True to apply ConfusedResist instead of the StraightAndArrow defensetrigger for performance."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Removed the -5 DamageBuff from Explosives Expert's passive, Explosive Grip."

[Update] Highway Song says, "You can now do the Mysterious Cloaked Figure's questline at any level after remorting."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Removed the Martyr template due to combat softlock."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "The Ritical error should no longer be present."

[Update] Highway Song says, "The Violator class has been completely rethemed and received different powers. All players who previously had Violator now have Commando, with the following combat skills adjustments: Front Row 3 -> 0, Durability 3 -> 2, Accuracy 0 -> 2, Endurance 2 -> 1, Speed 0 -> 2, Rage 2 -> 0, Fast Loading 0 -> 1, Penetration 0 -> 1, Technical 0 -> 1."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Those who have the Master Violator badge have been given level 10 in Commando."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Added 'bounty' as an alias to +bounty."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Fixed Surge of Fucking Dying For Your Friends accidentally applying "DammageImmunity" instead of DamageImmunity."
