Loot Lockout Timer

With Game Update 50, we have exposed Loot Lockout timers in the UI. No more guessing when time's up! Just look in the On Duty UI on the content you are loot locked from. At the top of the Description panel, you will now see a line that indicates how long you have on that instance loot lockout.

Power Revisions

With Game Update 50, we have made improvements to Nature, Light and Electricity Advanced Mechanics! See Power notes below for details!

Equipment Mods


 * The tooltip for Escalating Replenishing Procs has been updated to include that it works with Munitions' Reload super power.

Missions

With A Vengeance
 * Fixed an issue where the Wraith of Vengeance was doing too much damage.
 * Fixed an issue where the Revengewalker was doing too much damage.

Powers
 * Improvements to damage and healing over time stacking rules
 * Generally, damage and healing over time effects will now stack when applied by different players. They will continue not stacking with themselves when applied by the same player.
 * Different players of the same power are now able to use their damage and healing over time effects together for full effect without conflicting with each other.

Controller Power over Time Effects

The functionality of Controller Power over Time effects have been improved.

Players may still only have one Controller Power over Time effect applied at the same time. A new Power over Time effect will only overwrite if it is applied by someone with a higher Vitalization than the one currently applied. This will let multiple Controllers function together harmoniously without anyone's toes being stepped on.
