Misc

Next patch will be Quality of Life changes

ETA is sometime November, no real date yet

There will be a winter event, more details later

Tomorrow Extra-Life, a charity fundraising for children hospitals is running tomorrow Details: https://secretworldlegends.com/news/extra-life-2017/

Elementarism changes

The issue they found with Ele is at that the start energy not enough and in endgame with a lot crit gear energy is fine but overheating is too much

Heat level will increase less on Fire and Electric abilities and decrease more with cold abilities

Heat management will still relevant in Endgame but not as bad as before

No more hot bar swap between high heat and low heat mode (the effects are still there, just not the hotbar change that causes some delay)

Had too many passives to manage heat, now they have some extra DMG too

They showed a few passive changes but I won't list all of them since they are still in development

Some Ele weapons got changed too, mostly small fixes for issues with heat level interactions

Since it takes longer to get to high heat levels, the heat bonus will be increased

Goal is to make it competitive with the other DPS weapons

Other weapon changes

Assault rifle grenades CD reduced, should not cause issues with KSR rifle anymore

AR UI issue causing crashes will be fixed

Blood ability reap will not damage you by itself anymore (still corruption effects apply)

They are not too happy about the balance with tank weapons, sometimes the cooldowns can be chained to not have the tank needing healing at all

They don't really want to nerf it hugely, tanks should feel powerful and tanky

This will take time for them to figure out the details but will be addressed at some point

Loot changes

Currently there are 3 different avenues for different kinds of item progression (scenarios for glyphs, lair for signet, dungeons for items)

They want to add a bit of progression for each path to every activity

There are a bit too many anima shards in the Tokyo crates, that will be reduced a bit to not make people feel forced to farm them

Other activities will have more shards to compensate for that

More signet will drop in lairs (per chest, no new signets for now)

In dungeons only the final boss got more stuff for signets and glyphs added, the others stay the same

Elite rare chest give more item XP now than the elite non-rare

Weapon specific belts will be added, one for each Weapon

They will be dropped in the world, each time a cache drops, it might be a belt instead now

Item changes

You will be able use already empowered all items to empower others

Upgraded items will give about 40% of the XP you needed to bring it to that point

Costs for taking out glyphs and signets will be cheaper for low quality versions (greens, blues)

Some extraordinary items got buffed

PVP changes

Equal footing will be activated in the Soul fight-club for PvP training and events

London will remain as it is now

Misc improvements

Patron keys, quest timer resets and so on, now will be awarded to active cooldowns on the day of purchase

There will be a items that can summoning a vendor you can by at the locksmith (Vendort has potions and you can sell your stuff)

Teleport to Museum and social hubs (Museum an achievement, your faction from the start, the other require a visit to the hub)



Anima Allocation

New Tab in the Ability window

Will only be available for characters level 20+

You can change allocation between healing DPS and survivability

It changes the item stats to that Allocation

It will not change the extraordinary boni, signets or glyphs

Procs that scale with stats still do but they don't change from a DPS proc to a tank proc for example

It is not meant to be ultimate at all roles but in case you want to run scenarios or a role is needed when playing with friends

Also build into build manager

When moving the slider around it will show you the exact changes as preview
