PATCH NOTES - FEBRUARY 14TH

Hello Task Force X, We want to start out by saying thank you to everyone who’s played Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League so far! We’ve loved hearing about the stories you’ve had in Metropolis, and can’t wait to continue our fight against Brainiac with you!

This patch mainly addresses some of the bugs and difficulty scaling issues that were affecting players as they progressed to the higher Mastery Levels (40+). We hope that these changes will lead to a more balanced, varied and overall enjoyable experience as you take on ever increasing challenges!

We do, however, know that some of our players are running into issues which are not addressed in this patch. These include but are not limited to matchmaking issues, login issues, performance issues & progression issues, among others. While we were not able to get those fixes implemented in this patch, know that we are aware of the frustration these may cause and are working on making further improvements in upcoming patches. We will be updating our Known Issues channel in our official Discord in the near future as the status of these develop.

We’ll see you in Metropolis!

BUG FIXES: Fixed a bug that was causing Burning damage to scale with both player damage buffs and enemy debuffs. Burning damage should only be scaling via enemy debuffs. Fixed a bug that allowed Toyman to stack multiple of the same Augment on your gear. Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented modifications to Augments on your gear from saving after exiting a multi-player session and joining a single-player session.

CHANGES IN THIS RELEASE:

• Heat Wave’s Molten Skin & The Turtle’s Shell have had their damage reduction reduced from 100% to 90%.
• Due to some players exploiting certain mission mechanics, vehicle kills during Gizmo’s Support Squad missions no longer grant XP. You are still awarded XP for mission completion.
• With the fix to Burning damage, players will be less likely to get to the same Mastery Level as before. As a result, we will be creating new Leaderboards in the interest of fairness. Fear not though, as we will be archiving the existing Leaderboards, so those currently atop the rankings will live on in infamy!
• With the fix coming to Burning damage scaling and hearing the concerns around hitting a wall when climbing Mastery levels, we have reduced enemy health scaling for Mastery levels 46 and above.
• To keep things challenging, enemies at Mastery level 46 and above will now deal more damage.

The heat builds were bugged and gave people an unfair advantage on the leaderboards.

The end game is supposed to be challenging, and people were reporting incursion level 50 doesn’t feel that different to level 1… I don’t see how that’s fun.

To the OP I can only say thank you for the information.

To Rocksteady, thank you too for putting the final nail in your coffin.
When they don't even bother to post the notes here, it's very clear what they're trying to do.

Correct, it is a way of trying to retain players, but it generates the opposite.

Players will always find a new OP meta in game like this. This means they will delete the leaderboards every few patches lol.

There’s a difference between an “OP meta build” and a bug which unintentionally thanos snaps powerful enemies

No…
From developer-updates on discord
“# What about the leaderboards? 

Since this change will be pretty fundamental to the leaderboards and your continued progression on them, we are committed to creating a new leaderboard for you all, so you can continue to explore the different builds in the game. 

**All the entries on the current leaderboard will exist in perpetuity and will be a permanent record of all your achievements.** We want to applaud you all for both your dedication on getting this high in the Mastery Levels (and also breaking the game). Kudos!

This new leaderboard for Finite Crisis will become the active one for all players, and in the leaderboard menu you will be able to swap back to watch your previous entries, glorified for all to see.”

You guys actually really care about the leaderboards ?

For real, i was thinking the problem was that people just plowed through the difficulty lvls too fast but they cared about leaderboards for a game that has less active players than Fallout 76...

Why can’t it be both?

Casual players aren’t the only ones who play this game. Some people play it competitively & want it displayed to everyone

hope they fixed the slow fps with ray tracing on...
