Rebirth Issue 6: Dawn Of Genesis

Full patch notes for this issue can be found on the forums

Overview

Pandora's Box has been opened unleashing the Genesis Wave, vast amounts of primordial energy that ripple through the very fabric of reality. The Genesis Wave empowers those that it touches, be they good or evil. Rebirth Issue 6: Dawn of Genesis unlocks a brand new incarnate power-- GENESIS. Players will face new threats throughout City of Heroes/Villains brought forth from the Genesis Wave creating newly incarnated foes. That's just the beginning there's so much more.

New Incarnate Power: Genesis

Genesis holds the power of creation. By wielding this power, Genesis enhances the effects of one of your other Incarnate abilities, while also granting a new version of that Incarnate ability. Genesis Incarnate abilities may not be as strong as the original Incarnate abilities that they emulate but they can be used anytime while exemplaring.

Rebirth Issue 6 introduces Genesis with four types of Incarnate power trees to choose from.


  • Data: Increases Lore pet's damage and Max HP. Grants Data pets from the Well of the Furies to serve you.
  • Fate: Increases Destiny effects. Grants power Fate PBAoE Ally Buffs.
  • Socket: Increases Interface proc chances, Max HP and Max Endurance. Adds Socket power to most damaging attacks.
  • Verdict: Increases Judgement damage. Grants power Verdict AoE Damage.

Unlock Genesis with the new Advanced Physical Incarnate experience available in the Magisterium, Dark Astoria, Number Six story arc, or Pandora Energy.

Coalesced Primordial Energy has started appearing throughout time and space unleashing great power on anyone basking in the glow of this energy. You might find Coalesced Primordial Energy and the foes it empowers during Task Forces, Strike Forces, while monitoring police bands or newspaper missions, or while traveling through time on behalf of the Menders of Ouroboros.

Coalesced Primordial Energy awakens the hidden potential of those it touches in ways that none imagined. Where Coalesced Primordial Energy appears your rivals will suddenly become a fierce force to contend with--manifesting as level shifts and buffs. Defeat them to start unlocking your incarnate powers or to progress to the next tier. Then claim the Coalesced Primordial Energy for yourself/allies and receive several lucrative rewards.

  • Genesis Wave encounters will only have a chance to spawn IF a character on the team is level 50 OR if a character on the team has completed SSA Vol. 2 Chapter 3 (the opening of Pandora's Box).
  • Coalesced Primordial Energy (aka Pandora Altars) have a greater chance to appear the bigger the team size.
  • Primordial Energy can be emitted in small, medium, and large amounts, resulting in varying amounts of buffs to your enemies. The amount has a greater chance to be bigger the larger the team size.
  • Defeat the foes and drain the altar of its Energy to give yourself and your team lucrative rewards. By doing so you'll receive: Incarnate XP if your character is already level 50, a large amount of Influence, a rare recipe drop, and a temporary Pandora Buff for the remainder of the mission.

Rebirth of the Community Information Kiosk

(Disabled pending code fix -FarmTank)

Community Information Kiosks were originally functional in-game leaderboards for tracking player stats released in Issue 2: A Shadow of the Past during the original run of the game. They were removed from the original game after causing performance issues. Special thanks to Pazaz for restoring their functionality.

With Rebirth issue 6, the long-dormant Kiosks spring to life once more! Kiosks will be present on both hero and villain sides. Players will be able to compete for spots on the leadership boards in areas such as:

  • Top Ten 'Victors' - Highest Overall Scores
  • Top Ten 'Punishers' - Most Damage Given
  • Top Ten 'Healers' - Most Healing Given
  • Top Ten 'Nemeses' - Most Mobs Defeated
  • Top Ten 'Arena' - Most Players Defeated

We can't wait to see who'll be the City's top punishers!

Epic Pool Power Proliferation: Martial Prowess

Martial Prowess is an Epic power pool that has been expanded to Tankers and Brutes. Your experience in melee combat and your drive to improve have given you access to new techniques from various disciplines. You utilize skills from archers and warriors of the medieval age to ninjitsu techniques of the shinobi.


Throwing Dagger

  • Ranged Immobilize, Minor DOT(Lethal), -Regen

Scouts and warriors have used small throwing blades to distract and weaken since metal was first smelted. You throw a knife to strike at a vital point on your foe. This causes a wound that immobilizes, deals minor lethal damage over time, and reduces their ability to regenerate. Recharge: Moderate


Battle Hardened

  • Auto: +Max HP, +Max End

Your experience in combat has given you strength and stamina! This power costs no endurance and increases your Max HP and Endurance.


Bodkin Bolt

  • Ranged, High DMG(Lethal), -Def (All), -Res(All)

You employ a crossbow to launch an armor-piercing bodkin bolt at your target. This will strike for high damage and leave the enemy with less resistance and defense for a short while. You must be level 41 and own Throwing Dagger or Battle Hardened to purchase this power. Damage: High, Recharge: High


Art of War (Tankers only)

  • Auto: Global Chance of +DMG (all), +End Discount

Your practiced moves allow you to get into a rhythm that blends a perfect combination of offense and defense. Every attack you make has a high chance of increasing your damage (all) and endurance discount for 10 seconds as your rhythm makes your attacks more efficient. This effect stacks 3 times. You must be level 41 and own Throwing Dagger or Battle Hardened to purchase this power. Note: This power is exclusive to Tankers


Reckless Abandon (Brutes only)

  • Self +Fury

You succumb to your rage and begin fighting with no regard for your well-being. This power gives you a large amount of Fury. You sacrifice a portion of your health in your ferocity. You must be level 41 and own Throwing Dagger or Battle Hardened to purchase this power. Recharge: Long Note: This power is exclusive to Brutes


Valiance

  • Toggle: Self +Regen; Ally +Regen, +Res (Fear, Confuse)

You prefer to lead by example; inspiring others by your presence and bravery. While this power is active you will gain regeneration. Allies in your vicinity will gain regeneration and resistance to fear and confuse effects. You must be level 44 and own two other powers from Martial Prowess to purchase.


Epic Pool Power Proliferation: Munitions Mastery

Munitions Mastery is an epic power pool that has been expanded to Guardians. Your Mastery of weapons and Munitions gives you tools to blast your foes and increase your capabilities.


Taser Jolt

  • Melee, High DMG (Energy), Foe Disorient

Blasts the target with a high-voltage discharge from a powerful handheld stun gun. This melee attack deals high Energy damage and will Disorient most opponents. Damage: High, Recharge: Slow


Attack Munitions

  • Ranged (Targeted AoE), Moderate DMG (Lethal/Smash OR Lethal), Knockback, Special

You have access to a variety of munitions to blast groups of foes. By default this power will throw a hand grenade at your foes, dealing moderate Smashing and Lethal damage to all foes within the blast radius and potentially knocking them back. If you are trained in Military Assault, this power will instead fire the grenade from under the barrel of your Assault Rifle. If you are trained in Gun Fu, when using this power you will instead use specialized ammo and your training to fire an arcing Bullet Rain from your pistols, dealing moderate Lethal damage to all foes in the attack's radius and possibly knocking them back. Damage: Moderate, Recharge: Slow


Superior Conditioning

  • Auto: Self +Endurance

Your Superior Conditioning has increased your maximum endurance by 5%. You must be level 41 and have Taser Jolt or Attack Munitions before selecting this power.


Targeting Drone

  • Toggle: Self +To Hit, +Perception, Res(DeBuff To Hit)

When this device is activated, the small Targeting Drone hovers around your head and emits targeting laser sights. The lasers can dramatically improve your chance to hit and increase your perception, allowing you to better see stealthy foes. Targeting Drone also grants you resistance to powers that debuff your chance to hit. This is a toggle power and must be activated and deactivated manually. Like all toggle powers, Targeting Drone costs endurance while active. You must be level 41 and have Taser Jolt or Attack Munitions before selecting this power. Recharge: Slow


Surveillance

  • Ranged, Foe -DEF, -RES (All)

When this power is activated, you focus your senses to analyze your target's defensive capabilities and discover their weaknesses. By sharing your knowledge of the target's weaknesses with your teammates, you effectively reduce their defense and resistance to damage. Your Combat Attributes Window will also show the combat attributes of the target. You must be level 44 and have two other Munitions Mastery Powers before selecting this power. Recharge: Slow


Broadsword and Katana Proliferation

Power Set Proliferation has made Broadsword and Katana available to the Tanker Archetype.


Power Info Emergence

We have significantly enhanced the user interface for power information to provide players with a wider range of data. Ever since its initial release in Issue 12, players have had access to real-time power information through the power user interface. As powers became more complex, the user interface became inadequate in conveying this information. Although secondary resources like MIDS and Red Tomax's City of Data are invaluable resources, we believe that you should have all power information at your fingertips without needing to go to secondary resources for information. In Rebirth Issue 6, we're taking a significant step toward this goal and have added the following functionality:

  • A number of powers with blank detailed info will now show up.
  • Power redirects, in which one power becomes a different power under certain circumstances, can now be displayed.
  • When a power grants a state, the UI can now show how long that state lasts.
  • Variable effects based on stacks of a power can now be displayed.
  • When a power's effects have different target areas, that can now be displayed.
  • Activate periods on toggles and auto powers are now displayed (which impact how often an effect fires).

For this issue, special attention was given to Beam Rifle, Force Fields, Peacebringers, Psionic Melee, Radiation Armor, Radiation Melee, Savage Melee, Trick Arrow, Warshades, Water Blast, Water Control, and Wind Control.

This system will continue to be expanded in future issues.


Costumes

New Costume Parts

  • Turtleneck Collar for Male and Female (Detail 2)
 Leather, Fleece, Cotton, Zipped Fleece, and Zipped Cotton variants
  • Headscarf for Male and Female (Hair/Detail 2)
Hair variant has an extra colorable layer underneath the hood, Detail 2 variant is tight to the head and fits under hats/helmets
  • Graphic Cropped Tee for Female (Upper Body Detail)

Monk/Martial Arts robes worn with one side down at the hip. Short and Long sleeve variants

Detail (2) Expansions

Certain Face Detail 2 options for Male and Female are now nested in sub-categories, as opposed to listing separately. If you're not finding one in the menu, it's probably in a sub-menu! This was a technical change necessitated by certain Detail 2 work.

  • Expanded the number of levels for the loss of effectiveness of TO/DO/SO enhancement boosts so they wear out gradually over nine levels below the character's level.

This prevents a situation where both current enhancements could expire while a character is leveling and receiving drops that they cannot slot for another level yet.

Mez protection effects only apply to the target.

  • Reduced the respawn rate on enemy encounters in Atlas Park and Mercy Island from 20 seconds to 60 seconds.
  • Added unique load screens for the new Synapse TF.
  • Apex & Tin Mage TFs: reduced the time for the Incarnate Debuff to wear off once an Alpha ability is slotted or upon entering the map with an Alpha ability already slotted.


Bug Fixes

General

  • Magisterium Incarnate Trial: Added a period of Untouchable to Tyrant while he is depowering.

Powers
