Effects
· Most effects now occupy one of the following channels:
o Primary Skill
o Secondary Skill
o Primary Mutation
o Secondary Mutation
o Aura
o Contingency Plan
o Food
o Drink
o Camp
o Rest
o Consumable/Item
o Stance
o Armor Proc
o Stun
o Snare
· You may only have one of each effect type on you at a time. This was done to reduce the exorbitant amount of buff stacking and streamline the system for better balance. Individual effects may have increased or decreased in power depending on their importance and compatibility with the new formulas and slot blockers.
· There are additional hidden channels to prevent "debuff stacking" as well in order to reach the effect cap.
· With the exception of Flag of Truce, all stances persist through death.
· The new general guideline for heals dictates that any large-burst heal requires remaining stationary to complete the use time (generally 1.5 to 2 seconds). Any regeneration-boosting heal can be activated on the move. Encouragement (Group Tactics) is the exception to this rule; it CAN be activated on the move.

Skills
· Reworked all skill-derived abilities to follow new formulas, as well as reworked all slot blockers. See below for individual changes on effects. All tooltips have been reworked to follow the new formulas and effect alterations.

o Evasive Maneuvers has changed to a Contingency Plan. Its defense bonuses have increased significantly, and it lasts 30 seconds with a 1 minute cooldown.

o Pinpoint Vulnerability has had its range increased to 20 meters and its armor modification rebalanced with the new formulas. Its cooldown time has increased to 45 seconds.

· Athletics

· Melee
o All Melee skills that require a weapon swing have had their flat damage values removed and are now based on actual weapon damage. For example, if you prepare Smash 1, it will deal the weapon's damage rather than the forced flat value, and then follow with the stun attempt. All abilities now state whether or not they are resistible and by which saving throw they are opposed.
o Brutalize has had its armor debuff value reduced slightly. This effect deals weapon damage and is not resistible, but then chains to a stun which is resistible (Body). It’s stamina cost has been reduced slightly.

o Smash now deals weapon damage, then attempts to stun as usual (resistible by Body). Its stamina cost has been reduced.
· Pistol
o Code was implemented to allow all pistol skills to have an effective range of 100 meters, which is limited by the max range of the weapon firing the ability. For example, if you fire Staggering Shot 2 using a pistol that has a 30 meter range, you can only hit targets with the ability up to 30 meters, not 100 meters.
o Desperado is now a Contingency Plan. The cooldown was reduced to 1 minute, and for balance purposes the Pistol skill buff that it granted needed to be lowered slightly as well.
o Gun to a Knife Fight has had some of its tooltip terminology clarified, and is now a Contingency Plan. The general effect remains the same.
o Gunfighter remains a Stance. The attack and defense bonuses were very slightly reduced.

o Staggering Shot has been changed slightly. The shot inflicts normal weapon damage and applies a snare, which is slightly reduced in effectiveness. The ability is no longer resistible.
· Rifle
o The same code that helps pistol skills reach a potential 100 meters is also in effect for rifles. Range limitations on the weapon itself will still inhibit abilities from achieving this distance.
o Agonizing Wound now inflicts weapon damage instead of a flat value, then applies its snare and health regeneration nullification. The ability is no longer resistible.
o Puncture has been reworked. The ability now inflicts weapon damage and applies a heavy armor debuff for 15 seconds.

Mutations

· Reworked all mutation-derived abilities to follow new formulas, and reworked the skill channels. See below for individual changes on effects. All tooltips have been reworked to follow the new formulas and effect alterations.
· Certain buffing mutations no longer cost gamma, but instead "devote" gamma. This term is used whenever your maximum possible gamma is reduced by an effect, thereby limiting the amount of gamma that can be used for other mutations.
· Alpha Mutations
o All Alpha mutations have had their required attribute minimums updated and reorganized. They remain in the same general configuration, but may be gained earlier or later depending on the individual rank.
o The Bolster, Gird, and Quicken mutations all occupy the Secondary Mutations slot. They are toggled abilities that devote gamma and remain in effect until removed. Alpha buffing mutations are designed to be weaker than other mutation buffs of similar type (in terms of numeric balance) but are in place to allow players who do not specialize in mutations to make use of at least one of the slots available (as Alpha mutations increase based on Willpower stat and not by devoting AP).
o Disrupt now debuffs Coordination and save ratings for 15 seconds. The gamma cost has been rebalanced.
o Patch has had its healing values and Gamma cost rebalanced. It otherwise remains unchanged in general effect and usefulness.
· Empathic
o Empower has had its range increased to 20 meters (from the user, as it is a point blank area of effect) and its numeric values rebalanced with the new formulas.
o Benevolence has been rebalanced somewhat. It (along with other large bursty mutation heals) is not usable on the move. It can also no longer be used on yourself (that is the function of Priority). Its use time is 2 seconds and its cooldown is 3 seconds. Its numeric values have been rebalanced so that it is stronger at lower ranks and weaker at higher ranks than it was previously.
o Preservation has had the negative effect ranks that it removes altered slightly (generally increased) and the gamma cost rebalanced.
o Priority is no longer usable on the move. Its numeric values for healing and Gamma cost have been rebalanced (similar to Benevolence, though slightly weaker as Benevolence is the cornerstone of the Empathic mutation path).
o Restoration has been reworked slightly. The mutation now only restores health, but also applies a health regeneration buff for 30 seconds after the resurrection is accepted. Range increased to 10 meters, activation time increased to 8 seconds.
o Sympathy Pains is now a toggled Primary Mutation that devotes a portion of your gamma. It puts up a reflective shield that causes minor psionic damage to those who strike the user in melee until it is toggled off.
· Enhancement
o Ablate is now a toggled Primary Mutation. It increases all secondary and tertiary armor ratings for the user by a scaling amount based on the new formulas. It devotes gamma instead of costing it.
o Calibration is now a Secondary Mutation that also acts similar to an aura (without actually consuming the same blocked slot as a Group Tactics aura). It increases the primary armor of all teammates within 20 meters by a value based on the new formulas. This can potentially be overwritten by a teammates existing Secondary Mutation if it is considered more powerful.
o Dissolve continues to be the Enhancement path's damage over time ability, causing an acid effect and reducing armor by a scaling value for 15 seconds. Its gamma cost has been rebalanced.
o Regenerate is now a toggled Secondary Mutation that increases the user's health regeneration and Body save ratings until switched off. It devotes gamma instead of costing it.
o Reinforce is now a toggled Primary Mutation. It increases the user's Endurance and stamina regeneration until switched off. It devotes gamma instead of costing it.
o Resilience is now a toggled Secondary Mutation. It increases the user's Reflex and Mind save ratings and health regeneration by formula-derived values until switched off. It devotes gamma instead of costing it.
· Nano-Manipulation
o Cannibalize has been reworked to not be a damaging mutation, but a debuff plus recovery. It reduces the target's regeneration rates for 15 seconds and restores a portion of Gamma to the user. It still does not cost Gamma to activate, and has a 1 minute cooldown.
o Filtration has had its rank clearing and cost brought into line with similar abilities from other mutation paths.
o Reconstruction remains the team resurrect ability, applying a heal to dead allies and then increasing their regeneration rates by a scaling value for 15 seconds. It differs from other resurrection abilities in two respects; its multi-target capacity and its modifying of all regeneration values rather than just health regeneration, albeit for a shorter time. Cooldown reduced to 3 minutes.
o Revitalize has had its values reworked and its duration increased to 30 seconds. Its cooldown was reduced to 5 seconds. The ability can be used on multiple teammates, but will not stack on the same target. This ability can be used on the move.
o Self-Repair remains similar in functionality to before. Like Priority, it cannot be used on the move and targets only the user. Its recovery and cost values have been rebalanced.
o Vital Osmosis retains similar functionality to its previous incarnation. It is a targeted heal that cannot be used on yourself. Movement interrupts the activation time. Range increased to 20 meters. Its use time and cooldown have been brought into line with other burst-style mutation heals.
· Telepathy
o Accelerated Recovery has had its health regeneration values reduced slightly, though the power also now supplies a bonus to all save ratings for its 30 second duration. It has a short (3 second) cooldown, allowing it to be applied to multiple targets concurrently (though it does not stack).
o Renew Consciousness remains a resurrection ability, and much like other rez-types, it now applies a regeneration effect to health for 30 seconds after it is accepted.
o Ignore Pain has had its maximum health bonuses reduced somewhat, but the effect now also applies a health regeneration value for its increased (one hour) duration. It can be applied to other players, and it occupies the Primary Mutation buff channel.
o Mind Over Matter has been turned into a toggled Secondary Mutation, increasing the health regeneration and save ratings of all allies within its constant radius. This effect stacks with Accelerated Recovery. It devotes Gamma instead of costing it.
o One Mind, No Affliction has been brought into line with other healing mutations and now only affects one target. Cooldown reduced to 3 seconds.
o Psionic Shock has had its damage values rebalanced and now lists its resist save (Mind) in the tooltip. Its gamma cost was also reworked.

o Sapping Sickness now reduces all regeneration rates on the target by a scaling value based on the new formulas. Its cost has been rebalanced.
o Shaking Plague continues to reduce speed and Coordination, though the exact values of each have been altered slightly. Its cost has been rebalanced.
o Wracking Pains continues to be a targeted disease damage over time ability, but now also decreases save ratings. Its damage value and cost have been rebalanced. The cooldown was increased to 30 seconds.
· Thermal Control
o Cold Snap remains a snare and shares a channel with other snares. It also reduces Coordination by a scaling value. Its cost has been rebalanced.
o Hypothermia remains a DoT ability, but it has had a health and stamina regeneration debuff added to it. The overall effect values were rebalanced, along with the cost.

o Scorching Rebuke has been changed into a toggled Primary Mutation. It devotes a portion of Gamma to supply the damaging shield effect.
· Telekinesis
o Ambient Absorption is now a toggled Secondary Mutation. It continues to increase gamma regeneration, though it now devotes total gamma and also improves secondary armor while active.
o Forced Restraint has been completely reworked and is now known as Kinetic Conservation. This mutation removes and prevents all snares from affecting the user for 15 seconds, in addition to boosting Dexterity and Coordination. The mutation has a two minute cooldown.
o Kinetic Shield is now a toggled Primary Mutation that devotes gamma. Its armor values were rebalanced.
o Repel has had its damage values and cost rebalanced.
o Kinetic Curtain has been reworked and is now known as Kinetic Backlash. This is a damage-shield style toggled effect that devotes gamma.
o Alacrity has been completely reworked and is now known as Momentum Theft. It is a very close range (5 meters) mutation attack that snares your victim and grants a temporary speed boost to yourself.
· Suppression
o Convert Energy has been reworked. The mutation now drains stamina from a target within 10 meters and turns it into a short-duration health regeneration buff for the user. The cost has been rebalanced.
o Energy Blitz has been reworked. The AoE function now causes a 15 second psionic DoT rather than a large burst of damage. The cost has been rebalanced.
o Equalizer has been reworked. The mutation now reduces all regeneration rates, along with Strength and Dexterity. The cost has been rebalanced.
o Sap Stamina remains similar in function to before, but the beneficial effect now increases the user's stamina regeneration for 15 seconds instead. The cost has been streamlined.
o Siphon Energy continues to drain gamma from the target, but now increases the user's gamma regeneration for 30 seconds instead of recovering a large amount instantly. It continues to cost no gamma.
o Denial has been changed from a self-targeted cure-all to an offensive mutation lockout. It overrides all Primary and Secondary Mutation effects on the target for a period of 30 seconds, and sets their gamma regeneration to zero. Higher ranks are harder to resist than previous ranks (it uses the Mind save). Its gamma cost has been rebalanced.
· Sonic Influence
o Devastating Shockwave continues to be a point-blank area of effect armor debuff, but the armor stripping values have been reduced slightly across most ranks. Its cost has been rebalanced.

Items

· All items that grant beneficial effects with a duration have been reworked. Formulas and slot blockers should now be consistent across all such items, from enhanced armor to food and drink to medicine and science buff items. As before, you should only be able to have food and drink item active at a time (any more is a bug and should be reported as such). Medicine items (such as pills), Science items (such as boosters), Mutagenics items, or Nature items with any manner of lasting benefit now occupy the Consumable Item channel of effects, so that you may only have running at any given time. To compensate, the effects of many of these items may have been individually increased. Any reduction in effect that you notice is due to its being rebalanced with new formulas.

Fini les 3 barres de buffs par perso...
Je viens d'aller faire un petit tour sur le serveur test pour voir ce qu'il restait des buffs.
Le moins qu'on puisse dire, c'est que les changements sont violents, vu que je suis passé de 11 buffs stackables à 6 désormais (Sans compter les buffs de nourriture, boisson et consommable).
L'objectif est évidemment de gommer la différence entre ceux qui ont fait le tour de la roue, qui avaient 16 buffs de mutations et de skills et ceux qui ne l'ont pas fait, comme moi.
Seule chose dommage, à mes yeux: le fait qu'un consommable de médecine et un de science ne soit pas stackable.


Sinon, autre chose que j'ai vu sur le serveur test: un aperçu du système d'Achievements. Rien de précis encore dessus (Aucune idée s'il est déjà implanté), mais j'ai pu voir qu'il y aurait plusieurs catégories d'Achievements (Genre Combat, Scavenge, Craft, Exploration).
J'ai testé 5 min le PTS, juste le temps de voir que les animes des skills sont bien mieux synchronisées/dynamiques qu'actuellement.( enfin je pense)

En gros les animations des skills une fois lancées ( genre : provoke) peuvent être arrêtées via les attaques primaires ou secondaires (clique gauche/droit)...je sais pas si j'ai été assez clair enfin c'est plus sympa surtout pour les cac.( a vérifier)
j'ai vu qu'il y aurait des arenes en Free For All (on aime ou on aime pas) mais j'ai aussi lu qu'il y aurait du capture the flag en equipe...hors, a la difference des MMO "classique" (malheureusement), on n'est pas affilié a une faction avec une faction ennemie clairement établie

Comment seront faites les équipes ? verra t'on un CHOTA avec un Enforcer ?

Sauf erreur je lis ceci : The server will be down today, May 7 until 4 p.m. EDT (GMT -4) as we prepare for the Blood Sports content patch! sur le site off... cela voudrait dire un downtime jusque 22h00 heure française

Oui tu lis bien 2 heures de plus a attendre après 20h00...
ben oui... comme la plupart des downs de toutes les societes de MMO, d'abord ils annoncent une heure, puis apres une autre, et quelquefois encore une autre apres, au fur et a mesure qu'ils se rendent compte de soucis inatendus...

par contre, et a moins qu'ils ne soient tres presents le week end, ils prennent quand meme beaucoup de risques a patcher un vendredi car il n'est pas rare que tout de suite apres le patch il y ait des problemes... car comme le dit le vieil adage du joueur de MMO: "patch day, no play"
