Aliens Fireteam Elite Update 1.22 Out for Season 3: Lancer & More This April 19

by MP1st Staff

12:03 pm in News

Cold Iron Studios has released Aliens Fireteam Elite update 1.22 patch (PS5 version 1.022) today, and this one adds a new Lancer kit to the game and more! Check out the full Aliens Fireteam Elite April 19 update patch notes below.

Aliens Fireteam Elite Update 1.22 Patch Notes | Aliens Fireteam Elite Update 1.022 Patch Notes | Aliens Fireteam Elite April 19 Update Patch Notes:

Note: Season 3: Lancer goes live on Tuesday, April. 19, 2022 by 10 am PT. Platform availability may vary.

Season 3: Lancer is here, and with it we’ve introduced a new Class Kit – Lancer, a new Loadout Presets feature as well as new weapons, cosmetics, and rewards to unlock in-game.

Owners of the Deluxe edition will also receive the third of their four DLC Packs with the new UACM Frontline DLC Pack, detailed below.

We have implemented the following changes:

FREE CONTENT UPDATE

New Lancer Kit:
- The Lancer is the second Heavy Class Kit added to Aliens: Fireteam Elite, and introduces new abilities that open up unique playstyles for the game. With the Particle Lance ability that focuses an extremely hard hit to a single target, the Onslaught ability which slows movement speed and fire rate, but increases damage and temporarily removes the need to reload, and the Overwatch ability which stacks powerful buffs when “holding ground”, the Lancer is great for dealing with larger foes and taking advantage of cover.
- Compatible Kit Skins: Base game skins (Standard Issue, Standard Issue – Stock, Horde Slayer, Specialist, Specialist Elite) and outfits added with DLCs from Season 3 and onward.
- Free for all players and unlocks immediately when players update and log in after Season 3 is live.
- Note: At launch, the Lancer will have 21 Perks available through gameplay and purchase with credits. Two additional Perks, “Omniscience” and “High Impact Fire”, will be available in a separate patch shortly after.

SMITE Update 12.11 Patch Notes; Out for 9.4 The Jade Emperor This April 19

by MP1st Staff

11:10 am in News

Hi-Rez Studios has released the SMITE update 12.11 April 19 patch today, and this one adds Yu Huang, the Jade Emperor, to the game! Check out the full SMITE April 19 update patch notes below.

SMITE Update 12.11 Patch Notes | SMITE April 19 Patch Notes | SMITE Update 9.4 Patch Notes:

New Chinese God

Master of the Dao

Yu Huang attunes himself to the Dao, giving his Basic Attacks and Abilities additional effects. He gains a stack of Dao every 15s. He may also gain a stack by hitting an enemy after not taking or dealing damage for 3s. Once he has 6 or more stacks, Yu Huang becomes Attuned, allowing his Basic Attacks to chain to one additional enemy.
- Chain Basic Attack Damage: 75%
- Attunement Cost: 6 Dao
- Max Stacks: 12 Dao

Flames of the Phoenix

Yu Huang conjures four cinders of the phoenix, spreading them in an X shape. The cinders rush inward, dealing damage once as they travel. When the cinders meet, they explode in a field of flames that persists for 3s, burning enemies inside. If Yu Huang is Attuned, when the cinders explode, all enemies in the area have their Magical Protections reduced.
- Cinder Damage: 15/25/35/45/55 (+15% of your Magical Power)
- Initial Damage: 70/100/130/160/190 (+45% of your Magical Power)
- Burn Damage: 5/6/7/8/9 (+5% of your Magical Power) every 0.5s
- Burn Duration: 2s
- Protection Reduction: 4/6/8/10/12 for 3s
- Cost: 60/65/70/75/80
- Cooldown: 11/10.5/10/9.5/9s

Dao Cultivation

Yu Huang begins cultivating his Dao before firing a projectile that damages and slows enemies it passes through. As it travels, it leaves behind a trail that explodes, damaging and rooting all enemies. This ability can be fired early to deal 60% of its damage, gaining additional damage up to 1s. Yu Huang can also continue charging up to 3s to earn more Dao on firing.
- Projectile Damage: 50/70/90/110/130 (+35% of your Magical Power)
- AoE Damage: 50/95/140/185/230 (+50% of your Magical Power)
- Slow: 20% for 1s
- Root Duration: 1s
- Max Dao Gain: 6
- Cost: 60/65/70/75/80
- Cooldown: 13s

Celestial Flight

Yu Huang calls forth the Pearl Dragon from beneath him, banishing himself into the air and becoming untargetable. He then gracefully floats back down to the ground in a controlled flight, damaging enemies where he lands. While Yu Huang is floating, he may refire this ability to increase his downward momentum, causing him to fall faster. If Yu Huang is Attuned, the Pearl Dragon follows him as he descends, knocking back any enemies beneath him.
- Damage: 70/120/170/220/270 (+50% of your Magical Power)
- Movement Speed: 15%
- Cost: 70
- Cooldown: 20s

Dueling Dragons

Yu Huang manifests a huge surge of dragon-shaped energy, becoming CC immune and summoning the Pearl Dragon to oppose him. He then has 3s to aim his dragon of energy toward the Pearl Dragon, who will charge directly at it. Both dragons damage and push enemies caught in the blast. If the dragons collide, a damaging explosion occurs in the area. If Yu Huang is Attuned, the width of the dragons is increased by 50%.
- Push Damage: 150/225/300/375/450 (+50% of your Magical Power)
- Explosion Damage: 100/140/180/220/260 (+45% of your Magical Power)
- Cost: 100
- Cooldown: 100s

Quality of Life

Online Connectivity and Server Issues

The team is working to mitigate the issues resulting from last week’s attacks, and the first performance fix is going live with this update, 9.4. We expect to continue working on this throughout 9.4’s live dates and release additional improvements in future updates.

General

Magic Shell Relics
- Fixed an issue where Shell Relics were providing reduced basic attack damage buff for longer than intended

Balance live with the 9.4 Update – April 19

Game Modes

Conquest
- These first two Conquest changes are subtle, but have a lot of potential to create change. The goal of these changes are to make Duo Lane less volatile, and to slow down the Gold and XP gain of Mid and Jungle. We think that shifting XP away from Mid/Jungle and into the hands of Carry/Support at an earlier time in the match will help move us toward both goals simultaneously. We are also decreasing the total team XP awarded by the Obelisk. This will slow down the pace of the game and decrease the snowball factor. Conquest will also be seeing more significant changes in future updates.
- Support Buff Camp
  - Increased Base XP Reward of Support Buff Holder from 45 to 90
  - Increased Base Gold Reward of Support Buff Holder from 24 to 44
- Back Harpy Camp (Duo Side)
  - Removed an Elder Harpy from Back Left Harpy camp
  - This camp will no longer be Marked by the Obelisk
- Obelisk
  - Decreased Team XP gained per offering from 25 to 15

The Nerf Update

We hinted at this type of update in the previous update notes as well as in some extra communications from Design Director Ajax, and now the moment has arrived! This update will be a Nerf Update – meaning that the entirety of the God and Item balance sections will be focusing only on nerfs!
The SMITE community has been vocal about damage being too powerful and too present in SMITE and this update will be taking a major step to address that. In the previous update we looked at the two most specific meta sources of burst damage – Mage Penetration and Berserker’s Shield. Those changes were just the beginning though. This update features a multitude of nerfs across many of the top Gods and Items to continue this effort.
The damage topic is often described as a “game wide” issue – but changes have to be implemented specifically across various gods and items, so the process inevitably requires us to work through one god or item at a time. When going through that process it made the most sense to start by nerfing the most powerful and highly prioritized gods and items in the game. Applying this many changes all at once could have far reaching and unpredictable results, but we saw the clear community desire for it. We think we have formulated a cautious and consistent plan to execute this large amount of nerfs in a single update.
We are eager to hear feedback and to monitor game data from this update, and we are open to doing more nerf passes like this in the future if necessary.
Goals
- Nerf a large amount of top performing gods and items
- Achieve a net decrease of damage in SMITE through these nerfs
- Make changes that will be felt in all game modes
- Do not buff. Even though we felt like there were some good options, buffs will be saved for future updates
God and Item Selection
- Evaluate the highest pick/ban rate, purchase rate
- Compare that with the highest damage output, win%, and community sentiment
- Consider Conquest data as highest priority but compare with non conquest modes too
- Nerf God damage output wherever possible or things that contribute directly to damage like self buffs and cooldowns
- Nerf Item Physical or Magical Power whenever possible or things that contribute to damage like attack speed or bonus damage
Exceptions
- Do not nerf gods or items who are already perceived as weak (low pick/ban rate or low win%) even if they have high damage or high power
- There are a few defensive nerfs to gods as we felt that the god needed nerfs but damage wasn’t as much of a factor for them
- There are a few item protection nerfs to make sure we don’t shift the game too much in favor of tanks
- 2 Reworks
  - These do not tie directly into the goals of the nerf patch, but were already in progress from multiple departments when balance work on this patch began.
  - Both of these changes felt like meaningful quality of life improvements that people would be excited to play with, so we kept them in the update. Both are shifts with considerable nerfs and buffs combined in order to achieve specific gameplay goals.
    - Erlang Shen
      - Erlang is losing an entire form of CC but gaining some new features to help him better perform in the solo lane or duo lane.
    - Archmage’s Gem
      - The item is getting a long quested buff to make it feel better to use, but also seeing a damage nerf at the same time.
Final Counts
- 29 Gods Nerfed (including bonus)
- 37 Items Nerfed
- 8 Relics Nerfed (2 Relics, 4 Upgrade States Each)
- 2 Reworks

General

Diminishing Returns

Another common point of discussion is Crowd Control. There is a game wide rule that impacts the strength of CC chains in SMITE, so we can effectively nerf CC game wide with a single set of adjustments.
Diminishing Returns (DR) is a concept applied in many multiplayer games, and it is always active and present in SMITE. DR causes gods to be CC’d for a shorter duration than the ability specifies if and only if they have been affected by another CC effect within the last 15 seconds.
This weakens the overall effect of “CC chains” in which multiple gods or abilities can work together to keep a single opponent locked down for a long period of time. If you get stunned, then stunned again, the 2nd one will be affected by DR and thus be shorter. There are some exceptions like Knock-ups and Channeled effects like Grabs – these are not reduced but do apply DR to reduce the duration of subsequent CC effects.
We are open to addressing CC further by nerfing the duration of the effects on specific god kits in the future. We are also open to revisiting the CC and DR rules in general to make this system more clearly communicated and consistent. Those possibilities will be decided upon at a later date depending on the data and feedback from this update.
Increased CC duration reduction from 33% to 40% per stack
- Max 2 stacks (unchanged)
Decreased the CC duration minimum from 0.5s to 0.4s
- CC duration cannot be reduced to lower than 0.4s through DR’s effect

Items

This is a long list of item nerfs and we aren’t sure if it’s worth it to individually explain why each one was changed. In general, all of these item changes follow the logic defined above. These items are the most popular or most powerful within their archetypes, and thus will be nerfed. Almost all class/role archetypes were nerfed in some way, this might create new imbalances based on which class/role is affected more heavily by these nerfs, and it will be a big priority in the next update to adjust more items and gods with the primary goal of making sure all roles continue to feel equally flexible and powerful.

Gods

It is easier to identify the top performers for gods, and god changes have much less ripple effect on the rest of the game than item changes do. With these changes we expect that some nerfed gods will continue to remain at the top of the meta, and then more nerfs will be planned for future updates for them. We also expect some number of new gods to find new room for viability, and those gods will be individually evaluated to determine their nerf status.

Reworks

This update’s rework is Erlang Shen. We hear the player feedback that wants us to keep the flex capability of these gods as good as possible while still accomplishing our goals. We prioritized that feedback heavily with Erlang Shen’s design. With these changes we are trying to not just bring down the god’s performance in the role where they are overperforming, but also noticeably and clearly buffing the role where they haven’t been as successful. This is a potentially complex topic, as most reworks are, so we will break this out into more clear sections.

Why would we want to rework Erlang Shen? What are his problems? Does he meet our criteria for rework?
- Erlang Shen is one of the top pick/banned gods in SPL, being the #3 most banned god at the S9 Kickoff Tournament, and #5 most banned god at SWC Season 8. Although he is clearly a top priority, his Normal Conquest play count is toward the bottom of the pack, coming in at #77 out of 119 gods. So even with his powerful performance in SPL he is not a god that many people are interested in playing.
- Erlang Shen also overperforms in his flex role. In Ranked Conquest his Jungle is played significantly more than Solo and boasts a nearly 4% boost in win% over his Solo, which is huge. In SPL his gameplay is nearly 100% in the Jungle. This makes him quite clearly one of top Junglers, if not the actual #1 Jungler.
- We are happy to support gods that can flex roles, but Erlang Shen is an outlier who takes this flex too far. His jungle performance pushes out many other gods who we would like to see in the role, and he sets a standard for tankier Junglers because of his Warrior stats.
What are the goals of the changes and how do we accomplish them?
- Make Erlang Shen a stronger Solo Laner
  - Incentivize players to max Spot Weakness. If this is Erlang’s best ability to max first it will make him more appealing as a solo laner than a jungler, since it’s about extended trading instead of burst damage.
  - This also means that Erlang shouldn’t need to use 72 Transformations to clear the wave as much, which will keep him from exposing himself to easy ganks.
  - Increase his in-lane sustain
- Make Erlang Shen a weaker Jungler, but still a viable Jungler
  - Erlang Shen’s effectiveness as a Jungler comes from a few factors. His CC, his burst damage inside his CC chain, and his clear speed.
  - We are removing the knock up from the Turtle form in 72 Transformations. We recognize that this is a massive nerf, but we felt like this ability had the most opportunity to still feel relevant after some buffs to its other facets.
  - A major factor in his camp clear speed is his passive, especially in conjunction with Manakin’s Scepter. We are toning down the basic attack power contribution to his passive, while making the late game portion of his passive stronger.
- Get more people interested in playing Erlang Shen in general
- keep his core gameplay themes in place, and keep as much of his current kit as possible
It’s a lot of changes, but each buff or nerf has its purpose. We hope that players will enjoy these changes to Erlang Shen that continue to keep him as a strong flex god but with more appeal and viability in his core role, and less frustration from his opponents.

Erlang Shen

Howling Celestial Dog

Reduced damage from 15% to 7.5% of Erlang Shen’s basic attack damage
Increased damage from 1% to 1.75% of target’s max health

Spot Weakness

Decreased Bonus Damage per hit from 15/27/39/51/63 (+10% of your Physical Power) To 12/22/32/42/52 (+5% of your Physical Power)
Erlang Shen now gains 4/8/12/16/20% Physical lifesteal while this ability is active
Erlang Shen now applies a stacking debuff to enemy gods hit by this ability which reduces their damage output by 3/4/5/6/7% per stack, stacking up to 3 times. Stacks last 3s.
- 9/12/15/18/21% damage reduction max

72 Transformations

Erlang Shen is now knock up and slow immune while he is transformed into either animal
Mink form
- Erlang Shen now gains 15% Movement Speed for 4s after the dash completes
Turtle form
- This ability no longer knocks enemies up
- Shield health changed from 70/110/150/190/230 to 50/100/150/200/250 (+75% total protections from items and abilities)

9 Turns Blessing

Increased Damage Mitigation from 10/11.25/12.5/13.75/15% to 10/12.5/15/17.5/20%

That’s about it for this major patch. Stay tuned here at MP1st for future updates to SMITE and more!

Report: Crazy Taxi & Jet Set Radio Reboots Being Developed by SEGA

by MP1st Staff

10:23 am in News

In a new report from Bloomberg, SEGA is reportedly rebooting Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio in an effort to chase the success set by Epic Games and Fortnite. According to the report, SEGA is looking to release Crazy Taxi first, with the reboot set to launch in the next two to three years. Check out a rundown of the report below.

Related Reading: Sonic Origins Key Art Reportedly Spotted on PSN; Korea Ratings Also Revealed

According to the report from Takashi Mochizuki, the new Crazy Taxi has already been over a year in development. A year ago, Crazy Taxi is one of two IPs named by SEGA that they want to recapitalize in terms of new games and more, in addition to Jet Set Radio. Both will reportedly make up the Super Game initiative for SEGA, which, according to the report, is an effort to develop recurring revenue sources and build online communities around its software portfolio.

However, another interesting to note according to the report is that none of these projects are set in stone; with both still in early development, a lot of things could still happen that may possibly end up cancelling these reboots. Here’s hoping that SEGA finds their way, as both are some of the most beloved franchises in the publisher’s history outside of the ever-popular Sonic series.

Path of Exile Update 2.06 Out for Kirac’s Vault Pass This April 19

by MP1st Staff

8:05 am in News

Grinding Gear Games has released the Path of Exile update 2.06 patch today, and this one adds the Kirac’s Vault Pass to the store! Check out the full Path of Exile April 19 update patch notes below.

Path of Exile Update 2.06 Patch Notes | Path of Exile Update 3.17.3b Patch Notes | Path of Exile April 19 Update Patch Notes:

[PlayStation] 3.17.3b Kirac’s Vault Pass Patch

Kirac’s Vault Pass has now been enabled for PlayStation. You can access it through the Atlas UI or in Karui Shores.

That’s it for this small patch for Path of Exile. In case you’re wondering what’s included in this vault pass, check out a rundown below:

Purchase your pass, unlock access to Kirac’s Vault, and complete Atlas objectives to earn up to eight exclusive unique item skins. You’ll earn your first reward upon entering the Karui Shores, after defeating Kitava. You’ll earn additional rewards by completing sets of map bonus objectives while exploring your Atlas. If you complete the bonus objectives of all 117 maps, you’ll have earned all eight available rewards!

These unique item skins don’t just provide an alternate appearance for popular end-game items, they also visually interact with your gameplay in new ways. For example, the Bloodthirsty Headhunter skin causes the skulls of rare enemies to explode as you steal their abilities. The Indomitable Aegis Aurora skin flares with energy shield when you block. The Malevolent Watcher’s Eye skin literally watches you as you plan your build. To be clear, the unique item skins you can earn are entirely cosmetic and do not convey any gameplay advantage. You still need to acquire the actual unique item they apply to.

Stay tuned for more updates for Path of Exile here at MP1st!

Fortnite Update 3.52 Out for v20.20 & Datamined Content This April 19 (Update)

by MP1st Staff

4:17 am in News

Epic Games has released the Fortnite update 3.52 patch today, and this one is for the massive changes and fixes added to v20.20! Check out the full Fortnite April 19 update patch notes below!

Fortnite Update 3.52 Patch Notes | Fortnite Update v20.20 Patch Notes | Fortnite April 19 Update Patch Notes:

Update: Here are the official patch notes for today’s update!

THE BATTLE FOR CONEY CROSSROADS

Battle for Coney Crossroads in Fortnite

Condo Canyon can again be called home: the Battle for Condo Canyon is a victory for the Resistance! With the Resistance settling in at this POI, Funding Stations for an Armored Battle Bus and set of Turrets can now be found here.

The fight against the IO goes on, this time at Coney Crossroads. A literal and figurative turning point, jump into the Battle for Coney Crossroads and help push the IO back! (Refusing to give up, Huntmaster Saber is again prowling overhead.)

NEW WEAPON: RANGER SHOTGUN

Fortnite Ranger Shotgun

Wanna fight for Coney with extra confidence? The Ranger Shotgun has appeared on the Island, built for much longer range than most Shotguns. This burst Shotgun has one shot per reload. Because each shot deals serious damage, you won’t need to panic while reloading.

Find Ranger Shotguns on the ground, from certain vendors, and in Chests, Supply Drops, and sharks.

BARS TO MAKE A BREAK

The Resistance plans to supply the Boogie Bomb or Rift-To-Go — but needs help deciding which one. Both are tailored for escaping tricky situations. An enemy come out of nowhere? Throw a Boogie Bomb to trap them in a dance. In a losing struggle? Use a Rift-To-Go to create an emergency Rift.

Fortnite Boogie Bomb vs. Rift-To-Go

Before one of these escape mechanisms is unvaulted, you’ll have the opportunity to try out both in the wild. Find Boogie Bombs and Rift-To-Gos scattered throughout the Island from Friday, April 22, at 8 AM ET to Monday, April 25, 2022, at 8 AM ET. Not too long after this trial period ends, you can vote for your favorite choice by contributing Bars at Funding Stations. The first item that reaches 100% Funded will swiftly enter the loot pool!

COVERT OPS QUESTS

Fortnite Covert Ops Quests

Help The Origin complete a covert operation in Zero Build. You must finish both stages of each Quest before time runs out to receive the next Quest! Your first task begins April 22 at 9 AM ET.

The Origin’s agenda:

Quest 1: Begins April 22 at 9 AM ET and ends April 26 at 8:59 AM ET

Finished Quest 1 before April 26 at 8:59 AM ET? You’ll proceed to Quest 2!

Quest 2: Begins April 26 at 9 AM ET and ends April 28 at 8:59 AM ET

Finished Quest 2 before April 28 at 8:59 AM ET? You’ll proceed to Quest 3!

Quest 3: Begins April 28 at 9 AM ET and ends April 30 at 8:59 AM ET

COMPETITIVE NOTES

Coney Crossroads is not under assault in competitive playlists, but Huntmaster Saber has still relocated.
The Ranger Shotgun is not included in competitive playlists but is subject to an evaluation period.
The Boogie Bomb/Rift-To-Go trial period will not take place in competitive playlists.

MAJOR BUG FIXES

Fixed an issue involving constant controller vibration after exiting a Motorboat on land mid-boost.
Fixed an issue involving an inability to slide if “Toggle Sprint” was set to “Off.”

Currently, the official Fortnite Trello board has not updated to reflect the changes in v20.20. Once the list of fixes is out, we’ll update the post. We’re also expecting Epic to release the official patch notes which the devs have been doing the past few title updates.

In the meantime, here are the known issues for Fortnite as of the latest patch:

Boats and Cars may appear to stutter or hitch when driving despite being on smooth terrain.
For some players, Fortnite and Save the World will run slower than they should when using DirectX 12 to play Fortnite. (Workaround: Switching to DirectX11 or toggling Raytracing (on PC’s that support Raytracing) should resolve the issue.)
A player can’t slide after sprinting if they have the “Toggle Sprint” option off (Workaround: Set “Toggle Sprint” to “On”)
After player finishes the match, the match end UI may be missing from the screen (Workaround: Bringing up sidebar menu fixes the issue)
When players leave a boat while boosting onto or, on land, the controller will begin constantly vibrating.
Driving a vehicle can sometimes clip under the map when impacting the ground
Vaults around Seven Outposts with a lock that requires multiple players to open currently are locked shut and will not activate. This will be resolved in a future update.
When using split-screen, opening the Map or Quest screen will cause the other players’ view to become all black, blocking their vision. (Workaround: The affected player can open and close their map to regain visibility.)
We’re investigating an issue where your Fishing Collection Book appears to reset its progress after viewing the tab in the Collection menu.
Back blings have a large gap between the back bling and the outfit when using Halley or Leelah.

Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

VoIP

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is now available in Battlefield 2042.

There are two voice chat channels to choose between: Party and Squad. Settings for VoIP can be adjusted via Options > Sound/Voice > Chat while in-game.

Scoreboard

In Update 3.3 we released the UI refresh for the Scoreboard. Following this update this UI refresh will now also be available during the End of Round screens.

Weapon Attachments

With Update 4.0 we’ve overhauled the behavior of many weapon attachments to ensure that their impact when customizing your weapons is unique, and noticeable. Previously, some attachments had effects that were too similar from others, and it was unclear what the impact on your weapons would be when switching between them.

We encourage you to experiment with the refreshed weapon attachments to see how they feel after the update, and you’ll be able to read the full set of changes further down the page.

Weapon Attachments

The behavior of many weapon attachments has been overhauled to ensure that their impact when customizing your weapons is unique, and noticeable.
