Updated Preliminary Patch Notes (April fools!!)

[Silirrion]

With 15.9 now being on our internal QA servers this week as mentioned in the community update earlier in the week, here are some of the additional tweaks and fixes being impleneted in 15.9 (please note these are additional to the teaser notes already released). These are the changes that have been tested and confirmed internally but as always are still preliminary and may or may not make the live patch once they have been tested on Test Live

Preliminary Patch Notes 15.9

- We have re-evaluated the bonuses given by the acrobat perk line

- Casting times on all NT cyberdeck nukes has been marginally increased

- Alien pistols and machine pistols have been made right hand only

- The effect of Soldiers reflect shields has been doubled in PvP

- The Nano Resist bonus on Hold Hell at Bay has been increased to 800

- Hecklers will no longer give any faction amends to neutral players

- The Shadowlands access quests to get access to each subsequent zone have been made compulsory again.

- As a fix to the reload issue the full auto attack has been removed from all pistols

- Shades were never intended to wear neck or head items, all neck slot and head slot items are now no longer be useable by shades

- Fixed an issue whereby some Pandemonium bosses (the Night Heart, the Beast etc) were only doing 50% of their intended damage output.

- Nano Technicians will get access to a new 100% damage reduction nano that lasts for five minutes at Alien Level 30

- The composite versions of masteries, infuses and mochams will be now be adventurer nanos rather then MPs to help offset some of the weaknesses in that professions. MPs have been given access to the adventurer ‘spirittech’ summon line to compensate for this change

- To balance the number of players on each side the Clans will now be given a 10% innate exp bonus to incentivise players to choose the Clan side

- High level bureaucrats will get access to a new ‘morph’ nano line that allows them to change into a static totem for double the exp bonus on all their exp boosting lines.

- The self debuff on Traders drains and wrangles will now last for thirty minutes

- We have replaced the graphic for the opifex shoulder pad to that of standard tank armor to solve the issue with displaced shoulder pads

- We have removed the blue tint on the Perennium weaponry in line with player requests, the new model will have a luminous pink glow

The Clans already have a 10% innate XP bonus on RK2!

And the debuff on Traders from wrangles is already 30 minutes because, once we cast ONE wrangle, a line forms that doesn't end for half an hour anyway!

Considering the way in which the GA mesh problems with head items were "fixed", I'm not so sure if I should laugh about these ones or just be very very scared
