GENERAL

tried adding the image. testing the new stinger turret using that projectile boosting sent caused some ridiculous xp. 13k one match using 3 def and one projectile boosting, 20k the next match, using 2 def and 2 boosting. possible good idea to make the cost of it a bit more, it only costs 2, same as def. maybe make it 6 so you can only make 2 def and one of it. also lower how much xp it gives out? i wouldn't go anything drastic, as its a good support sentinel. keep in mind both matches i had either a bot or 1 or 2 players in the base also shooting projectiles.

added in the screen shots. i think this is the only thing ive found so far on general.

WM
-denial doesn't work with being resurrected. once you get resurrected, you have the weapons, but once you die the second time as time runs out, you no longer have any weapon you were using.

-love the nali idea, but i think they shouldn't be able to be damaged by players, ive shot lots of them accidentally already. if they're not already, id make them be able to be killed by the monsters

-bullet time doesn't seem to work, it no longer stops projectiles at all

im sure there's others ill post them if i find them.

NECRO/MM

-I've only played it once so far, but it was a bit confusing to start with. maybe instead of having all the types of things, you get to choose which to buy? ie instead of niche, you have to buy each individual skill.

-love the resurrect idea, nothing really wrong with it other than that denial thing i posted above

ill keep looking for other things to update. so far awesome new build hollon. i'd like to personally thank you, Jefe, Dorian and Dragon for all the work you've done to help keep this server new and interesting.

Who had the idea to make the point system use signed integers.. seems a bit illogical to me

Thanks for the feedback Cancer. I'll probably pull the damage sentinel from the game for now til I can get another patch up. Your reward for finding that exploit is 20k exp, congrats!

If you have negative stat points, you can sell and rebuy. Mysterial made the RPG system, something I'll never tamper with.

206B:
- Damage sentinels no longer boost Stinger Turret shards, and they no longer give XP for boosting their owner's projectiles. Too exploitable.
- Increased the healing on Healing Drones for Auto Engi to 2 per shot per level instead of 1.
- Added in the attacking drones for Auto Engineer which was supposed to be part of the big release- still a bit bugged, but better than before when it attacked teammates.
- Slightly decreased the interval at which the Lightning Turret projectile strikes out at targets (0.7 sec. vs. 1 sec.).
- Fixed the Defense Systems ability description(only increases the range of def sents, doesn't give extra XP).
- Decreased the max Bomb Traps on the Explosives subclass to 6 and increased the Aerial/Shock and Wildfire/Frost Traps to 2, so overall still a total of 10 Traps.
- Added in a timer message for the Phantom artifact.
- Removed the overlay material on weapons in the Phantom form, which could continue to apply after the form has finished.
- Slightly modified Resurrection to hopefully fix the new-player-spectator bug when someone joins the game after a resurrection.
- Added in a resurrect message for Necromancers so they can see who they resurrected without having to look at the scoreboard.
- Added in minimum XP for resurrection to encourage its use rather than "saving it for high levels/WMs". Every resurrection will receive at least 10 XP.
- Fixed Denial not applying for resurrected players.
- Slightly increased the speed on resurrected players.
- Bullet Time restored.
- Fixed Heat weapons not applying to yourself with self damage.
- Fixed Freezing weapons not doing extra damage to Fire monsters.
- Decreased the damage on Heat/Freeze weapons to 10% per plus against Ice/Fire instead of 15% per plus.
- Fixed Globe artifact keybind.
- Reduced adrenaline consumption on the lightning rod combo from 5 adren per target to 3 adren per target.
- Added in F3 kills for the lightning rod combo.
- Removed overlay material on weapons for the Holograph combo where it could continue to apply after the combo has finished.

The subscription for the test server is about to expire in a few weeks. I'd rather not renew the subscription, so I'd like to get all the urgent bugs fixed before that happens. Please to continue to inform me of such matters.

Excellent update and fixes so far Hollon. Here are some bugs / gameplay concerns I've accumulated thus far:

Bugs:

Gold kralls are in the wrong "state". They are constantly slow, as if they're in the "legs shot off" state.

Gold Gasbag is gone? Not sure if accidental or intended. Your call.

Adrenal Wraiths are using the Soul Wraith skins. Additionally they no longer shoot their blackholes, but rather leave stationary ones. Intended?

Being 'Nulled' as you enter (or have entered) Phantom form gets you stuck until you use the translocator.

The recoil when firing the Stinger Turret in the secondary fire mode is:
1) Not synced up with the shots.
2 )Way too big and annoying, needs to be reduced to 5-10% of current setting.
Primary fire mode is also a bit loud, should probably have its volume lowered quite a bit.

As a non-niche Necromancer, I only receive a guaranteed 8 xp for resurrecting, as opposed to the 10 xp you're supposed to be getting.
Additionally, if you're in Phantom Form, you cannot pickup XP Gems. All the other pickups is fine not being able to be picked up, but you should be able to always pick up XP Gems, considering you've actually spent points on the skill.

ClassicRPG: The RocketLauncher upgrade still isn't working, and the LinkGun upgrade for the shaft length increase is also not working (LinkGun primary firing upgrade works)

Vampiric Leech works with Decay, MassDrain and Phantom. So far it's the only one that does. (I recommend you check Solarpower too as it has Adrenaline leeching capabilities)

Gameplay concerns:

ClassicRPG: We get a GrenadeLauncher upgrade, but the only way to get one is having a WM drop one. Maybe replace the useless AGGL with the regular GL? Or provide both.
We have much better access to the Sniper Rifle and the Utility Rifle, yet don't have upgrades for those.

Lava Skaarj at 14 MP (for the Fire-Niche as a Summoner) will never be used, damage is negligible vs other 14MP worth of pets. Too high cost.

Phantom Form shouldn't really regenerate health. It's already insanely good without it, and you already have 3 other means of solid HP-income, in the form of Tether, Decay and MassDrain.

Damage on the Stinger Turret is really low, perhaps lower than the Minigun Turret which is hitscan and easier to hit (Thus Stinger Turret is a slow projectile, low damage Turret. Only instance it might be better is with a Damage Sentinel up which I somewhat still doubt. Others have pointed this out as well, and I'm not really sure what role the Stinger Turret is supposed to be filling at its current damage output.

All "Auto"Sentinels don't work when you aim at monsters from inside a Turret or Vehicle. Rendering basically all your offensive sentinels useless most of the time. The time you're actually on foot, they still require you to aim at a target fairly constant, making them heavily nerfed versions of their automatic counterparts.
Furthermore, getting 50 Max ammo and Resupply to have an impact on the battefield through weapons is at least 50 points wasted for an engineer, as no other subclass wants that.
I propose you remove the Dsent Resupply, and add a Drone Resupply on your Healing Drones(that DOESN'T require 50 Max Ammo to buy), then you still get resupply, but can also support others while on the battlefield.
(Still not sure what Auto Engineers are supposed to do. They are quite ineffecient with Weapons, horrible at vehicle usage as they provide low damage and mediocre survivability. Turret usage isn't recommended as it only gets the weak ones, and there are better subclasses for that)

The "Sniper" subclass for WM is not the best sniper subclass...
Seeing as a "Sniper" only gets 75% damage increase to certain weapon firing modes, yet nothing to the rest of the weapons, its damage output using those is pretty much identical to an Extreme WM since they have 50% extra DB and maxed weapons (rounding it up closely to 70-75% most of the time). Even though "Snipers" also get magic weapons, they're rarely maxed. Furthermore Snipers also take a lot of extra damage, since the most dangerous targets aren't far from you, but the ones close to you.
Heck, even testing the Tank subclass, I performed somewhat equally using only Snipers (Actually better in some cases since I took much less damage and on waves 1-5 you don't need to shoot fast since there aren't many targets at a time)
"Snipers" are also heavily gimped by the fact that they can't hit multiple targets at once, and require dead-precision aim since their weapons don't have splash.
Also, the RailGun doesn't seem to be affected by Berserk since it's a charge up gun, so the only thing where it might've been better, isn't really any better.
Point is: "Sniper" subclass isn't the best WM Subclass for sniping, and its nerfs heavily outweighs its buffs and upsides.
