Automated Multiplayer Updates/2019 January

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "If a recipe modifier is marked 'vanity', it will NOT count as one of the modifiers when a mystery item is being made, so more modifiers will be stacked up higher! Mystery items can also have 6 modifiers."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum softly churrs, "Added the farsqueeze command. Squeeze as you love"

[Update] Nuku giggles, "A power can only inflict, at most, one complimenting status(free binary from a buff/debuff). Once one has been inflicted, none others can be, so order counts. If you think a power needs to have its statuses re-ordered, let us know."

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "Tweak. The first complimentary status will be doubled in duration to a maximum of the cooldown of the power that fired it. Any binary that should fire after the first has a 50% chance of not happening, which stacks. So if 2 binaries fire, the third has two separate 50% chances of not firing. Binaries that do not fire do not count towards this."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum softly churrs, "Farboop,farbottom have been re-added"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum softly churrs, "Fartackle has been fixed"

[Update] Nuku drawls, "Frenzied state and mastermind charge adjustments are now figured into long charge and rewarded patience."

[Update] Nuku , "In theory, long charge code should be far better at figuring out the impact of charge, speed, rank, injuries, and rage on your actual charge."

[Update] Nuku proudly yips, "Rewarded patience updated to use the much better accuracy of the fixed long charge code, yay!"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum softly churrs, "The crate should be fixed."

[Update] Avatar says, "Item (1546403058) placed onto the poll board by Nuku, called 'Test. +poll/view Test to look at and vote in this poll."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum softly churrs, "Now, invariably upon login(but no other time other than when you check), you will see what polls are active, when they end, and what you voted for in them."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum softly churrs, "Long charge notifications should now round to two digits of precision"

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "New PB (Patrol-Balanced) status check added to Party. If you have an active Patrol-Balanced status, it will showin the party command listing. Also, if a negative duration should occur for Patrol-Balanced, it will not be counted."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "To help simplify, glanceat now has a glance at alias, so, both will work."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "The Stimulating Recipe Modifier has been slightly updated to remove its ability to be put on recipes that have AoE Ally as a target, eithe secondary or primary, but it has now been made available in the Token Store."

[Update] "Master" Of Science Fauna wantonly purrs, "Hopefully finally fixed the bug that puts people in invalid pregnancy states. If this was the sole cause, nanite #incubate was to blame."

[Update] "Master" Of Science Fauna wantonly purrs, "Everyone who was in an invalid state is now back in a valid state, and can expect to give birth on the next pregtick. (11 people were affected). Similarly, everyone who had their -NPC- pregnancy in an invalid state (152) people, can expect their NPC to give birth on the next pregtick they are online for."

[Update] "Master" Of Science Fauna wantonly purrs, "in theory, fixed the bug. maybe."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "EV command details added into Basic Commands and the Equipment help files."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum softly churrs, "Fixed a typo in the minokawa's head"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum softly churrs, "The power upgrade feature now limits you to 6 slots on a power overall. When your power meets this limit, the indicator in the power list will display the number of slots in red. If it is in this case, it is best to deslot the power."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "+power has been rewritten andupdated to properly check for mutant powers that have upgrades for statuses differing form the template."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "The wardrobe command now has several aliases for convenience, including +ward +wardrobe +wd wd ward wardrobe."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Garment Bag item description updated to reference the command."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Items with no extra desc will no longer crash +wardrobe when trying to view them."

[Update] "Master" Of Science Fauna wantonly purrs, "fixed a bug where, if no-one has any precious items, the RP hot spot doesn't move."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "If you are set Professional for duties, you cannot send out a merc. You're too busy being Professional."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "A reminder prompt has been added for non-merc pjoins while you're in Professional to let you know you're presently in Professional and must choose to continue with the pjoin."

[Update] Avatar says, "Poll 'Test' has ended."

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "Fixed a bug that made combat items tick at incorrect times. They are now behaving. Thanks Alexey!"

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Thanks to goals, a new edge set has been created: Stable Stance, Minor and Stable Stance, Major."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Though likely an unpopular choice, Snipers's Sacrificial Fury, which didn't make sense, has been removed and placed into Back Row for both thematics and balancing out the class a bit."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum softly churrs, "Modulo is a terrible way to scale a random number. Dividing it by the maximum value and scaling afterwards ends with a much better spread. This is a change for the +roll program, but you're unlikely to notice it unless you're paying way too much attention."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Errors in usage of Party channel have been remedied."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum softly churrs, "Fixed a crash in duty that may be related to the professional status"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum softly churrs, "Long charge bonuses will not be applied to passives or toggles, for reasons that are sensible."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum softly churrs, "Monstrosity has had Endurance 3 changed to Endurance 1, those two points have gone to the vampiric skill and the bleeding skill, giving it 3 bleeding, and 2 vampiric."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum softly churrs, "The boss bounty is working once again."

[Update] "Master" Of Science Fauna wantonly purrs, "stopped the bounty system from being a little overzealous and moving the RP hotspot every 5 minutes. It now moves once daily, as it should."

[Update] Highway Song says, "After review, Tukupar Itar has received a minor tweak to its combat skill spread: Damage 1->0, Durability 1->2. The coyote dedication class previously lacked the requisite survivability to justify Taunting Strikes 3. With the addition of a point of Durability, its role shifts from the thin spread of debuffer/DoT-DPS/taunt-tank to a more focused debuffer/taunt-tank. In addition, Durability's damage resistance stacks with Outnumbered, improving effective HP to compensate for its below-average self-sustainability."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Cleaned up the Horned Wyvern's Victory/oVictory/Defeat scenes. Added dynamic pronouns, changed unnecessary hyphens to commas, and restructured odd phrasing where needed."

[Update] Highway Song says, "After internal debate, Wasteland Paladin has received a rework of its combat skill spread. Support 3->1, Avoidance 2->0, Damage 1->0, and Reactive 1->0 in exchange for Sacrificial Fury 0->2, Vibrant Strikes 0->2, Penetration 0->1, and Regenerating 0->1. Reasoning: Wasteland Paladin served the role of one of (if not the best) main tank and a good support class in parties, sporting the highest effective HP pool and tied for the highest base HP pool overall. The old skill distribution resulted in dedicated support players becoming less relevant for all but top-end content. As a result, we've reduced Wasteland Paladin's ability to serve both roles as well as it did by lowering Support (reducing buff strength) and Avoidance (reducing effective HP). In exchange, we've provided players with the option to invest in a hybrid role by adding Sacrificial Fury, Vibrant Strikes, and Penetration, allowing for healing teammates through damage output with Big Hits and Repeats playstyles. Regenerating will also lower the mortal blows threshold and their DoTs, aiding in survival of higher-end content. We are open to your feedback regarding these changes and will continue to adjust the class as necessary pending feedback over the coming weeks."

[Update] Highway Song says, "As an addendum, we have added missing documentation to Support and Tactician, explaining how they impact the duration of binaries."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "Due to Martyr' being all about the Vibrant Strikes, damage has been replaced with sacrificial fury, making it even more self-ouchying."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "Self-destruct adjusted, you'll note that it's perfectly balanced, as all things should be."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "The primer command will no longer allow you to summon primes when you are not the party lead"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "Sparring should not produce salvage or builder nanites."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "Nisd/consume will ask if you wish to proceed while nativized, and provide some guidance as to how you might go about to disabling nativization temporarily."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "With experimentation and consultation with the playerbase, the gap between WP and other tank classes will hopefully be less severe as the Fortified binary is now complimentabble through having Front Row and not just Support (It will look for the higher of the two when it comes to specifically *damageresist non-debuff triggers of binaries)."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "Added details about how front row can proc fortified to the rpinfo."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "Now, +groin will report the additional mass from the weight status in its display(showing you the difference between your base mass and your current effective mass."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "New party mode: nomerc. This mode is open, but mercs cannot join unless invited. (This means mercstat replace still functions just fine and tested)."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "The refinements that Glitch made to the rp hotspot selection code are back in again. Barring any screwups on my part, this means that only the pleaces that are accessible are the places that will be chosen."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "Pregcycles may be a bit better about getting all those eggs that might be trapped up there out."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "Also, restored the fix that fauna put in for the nanite incubate since I kinda cludged all over it earlier :P"

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "With the changes in Group Perks from a while ago, an alteration has been made to the Tentaculator item and +tentacle. Now, +tentacle is usable by anyone who has Tentacle Nanomagic. The Tentaculator itself will double the normal number of tentacles you can control and is supported this way with +tentacle."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Okay, okay, so, double was a bit much. The base 2 is doubled, and an additional 1 for every 10 Willpower above the normal amount. (4 base + 1/5 Will + 1/10 Will)"

[Update] Nuku tuts, "When gaining combat xp, a group at top level will not take xp."

[Update] Nuku buzzes, "While surveying the area, RSX agents turn in a wonderfully detailed river report."

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "You can now duty view dutyname to see what people online have a duty."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Boss Bounty will now prompt you to continue before fully running, once you qualify and type it."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "Fixed the feraldex's functionality(That is, seeing mob rank and powers)."

[Update] Nuku roars, "In theory, the nanite migration should be less clunky in reporting."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "Fixed a crash in the duty code."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "The +tentacle has been revised! Check it out and see the new syntax."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "The RP hot spot was being set the wrong way, it should be set properly now."

[Update] Nuku jingle bells, "Social developer perk and networker edges should work better."

[Update] Nuku brux-churrs, "The exploit where you could use powers immediately after searching should be fixed."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "Breast size should be capped at 55 again."

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "You can now type effect summary for a summary of stuff. Currently that stuff is just your damage bonus from damagebuff + damage combat skill."

[Update] Highway Schrubbery Glitch churrs adorably, "Back Alley Alice's inventory has been fixed up."

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "effect summary's charge rate is now more accurate (should factor in more things, like pet existence)"

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "effect summary now factors in sacrificial fury."

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "effect summary now shows your energy recovery rate per round."

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "effect summary now gives the total damage modifier for repeat hits, including its 1/2 basic damage and cascading's effect."

[Update] Nuku screeches, "And the presence of flurry combat skill."

[Update] Nuku loudly booms, "Concentrate now gets its own line in summary effect, as does DoT mods."

[Update] Nuku rumbles, "Fixed a bug that prevented enduring malice from performing all its functions (And leaving the stack messier)"

[Update] Nuku softly churrls, "Fixed a major bug in how atb determined who goes first/next."

[Update] Nuku snarks, "(And a thank you to Magnus for debugging help!)"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "Since, notably, Nanite Adept and RSX Operative are not followers of any god, and Fenrir Wolves can smell the god that you're dedicated to, Fenrir wolves will not be able to detect those special trainings. If there are other special trainings that aren't supernatural that aren't caught, let us know."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "So, for those who are cursed or blessed with a large number of upgrades, you may now buy the upgrade storage device. This thingy, allows you to store any number of power upgrades and upgrade tokens outside your inventory. Type in usd help for guidance on how to use it."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum smoothly says, "(It's on the elite store, since I forgot to mention that)"

[Update] Nuku ook ooks, "If buffclear hits a level scaling status, such as attack or healgain, the magnitude of the buffclear will be levelscaled for sake of smashing into that status."

[Update] Nuku unpleasantly hisses, "Accuracy status is no longer rankmodded."

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "Neither is perception or statusboost."

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "Major change to how rank applies to statuses. It will increase much more slowly past final boss(400%) levels."

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "For those curious, if it determines it should be over 400, it square roots what's over 400. So 500 would become 410 instead."
