Powers
Gadgeteering
Bionic Shielding: The heal provided by this power is now properly tagged as a Heal.
Bionic Shielding: Activate time increased from 0.6 seconds to 0.67.
Bionic Shielding: Recharge reduced from 60 seconds to 30 seconds.
Bionic Shielding: The various ranks of this power did not all function the same way. Some ranks let you heal other players with this power, some would only heal you even when you used the power on someone else. All ranks have been fixed to heal the target of the power, instead of always healing you. The description has been updated as well.
Entangling Mesh: Changed from a PBAoE to a 50 foot range AoE.
Entangling Mesh: Cost increased by approximately 25%.
Entangling Mesh: Recharge time reduced from 18 seconds to 15 seconds.
Experimental Blaster: Fixed an error in the math for the damage of this power. This results in a substantial increase of the damage this power deals.
Experimental Blaster: Reworked the way the random effects of this power work. It is no longer possible to get multiple effects at once (with the exception of the AutoKill from the advantage), but the likelihood of getting some effect on any given shot is now higher. Also, what determines which random effects are possible has been changed. It is now determined by "under 1 second" or "over 1 second" instead of varying numbers for different effects.
Experimental Blaster: The lowcharge extra damage random effect was reworked to just deal “additional damage” instead of triple damage, as the base damage of the power was increased as was the range with which you can get this effect. Overall damage numbers are still higher.
Experimental Blaster: The description of this power incorrectly read that it had a 50% chance to deal extra damage at low charge. It now correctly states that there is a 30% chance.
Experimental Blaster: Activate time reduced from 0.6 seconds to 0.5 seconds.
Experimental Blaster: Charge time reduced from 2.83 seconds to 2.5 seconds.
Experimental Blaster: Cost reduced slightly.
Experimental Blaster: Death Ray: This advantage now also increases the chance that your low charge shots will deal additional damage.
Gauntlet Chainsaw: Reduced activate time from 0.67 seconds to 0.5 seconds.
Gauntlet Chainsaw: Ripsaw: Reduced the bonus damage from 60% to 45%.
Miniaturization Drive: Now provides a buff icon while active.
Miniaturization Drive: Reciprocating Gizmo: Updated the description to state that it actually increases your movement speed and damage when you grow. This is just a description change.
Molecular SelfAssembly: This power had an "undocumented feature" of sorts, in that if you had the Rejuvenating Injectors advantage for Nanobot Swarm, Molecular SelfAssembly would heal you a small amount when it triggered. This was not intended. The base power of MSA now includes this healing benefit and does not require purchasing an advantage for another power to get it. The heal provided was increased slightly, and now scales with Presence.
Nanobot Swarm: Cleaned up the tooltip by moving the tooltip for the advantage out of the main power.
Nanobot Swarm: Cost reduced by about 10%.
Nanobot Swarm: Rejuvenating Injectors: The heal provided by this advantage no longer increases as you rank up the main power. People who were using Rank 1 should see an increase in the base healing done by this power, people who use Rank 2 will see a decrease in the base healing done by this power.
Nanobot Swarm: Rejuvenating Injectors: Now scales with Presence like other heals. This allows the heal value to reach much higher values than previously.
Orbital Cannon: Fixed this power to be tagged as an AoE, not a PBAoE.
Orbital Cannon: Fixed a bug that made it so you could not stop charging this power once you started charging it. You can now release the button to cancel the charge, like any other full charge required power. Also updated the description to clarify that it requires a full charge.
Orbital Cannon: Anvil of Dawn: This advantage was incorrectly scaling with ranking up the base power. The damage of this advantage will now be the same whether you have Rank 1 or Rank 2.
Particle Mine: Fixed a bug with ranks 2 and 3 so they appear on the ground like the rank 1 version does.
Particle Mine: Changed the activate time from 1.33 seconds to 0.67 seconds. This has minimal effect on the power itself, due to the way it works, but you should be able to perform other powers sooner after placing the mine.
Particle Mine: Fixed the names of the placed mines that ranks 2 and 3 of the nonadvantaged version of this power create.
Resurrection Serum: Increased the amount of health a player is rezzed with.
Resurrection Serum: Reduced the recharge from 5 minutes to 15 seconds.
Resurrection Serum: Fixed a bug that made it so you could not stop charging this power once you started charging it. You can now release the button to cancel the charge, like any other full charge required power. Also updated the description to clarify that it requires a full charge.
Resurrection Serum: Reanimator: The Ghouls created with this power no longer despawn when the target it was created from despawns. Players will now be able to have a maximum 3 of these ghouls out at a time.
Resurrection Serum: Reanimator: The Ghouls created with this power did not scale with stats all. They now use the standard stat scaling that other pets use.
Sonic Blaster: Added the AoE tag to the advantaged version of the power.
Sonic Device: Now provides a buff icon while active.
Sonic Device: Was incorrectly only lasting 10 seconds instead of the stated 18 seconds. Now lasts 18 seconds.
Toxic Nanites: Now provides a buff icon while this power is active.
Tractor Beam: Reduced recharge time from 30 seconds to 6 seconds.
Tractor Beam: Base cost increased very slightly. Cost per period decreased substantially.
Tractor Beam: Instead of increasing the maximum maintain duration as you rank up, it now increases how powerful the pull effect is.
Tractor Beam: Now applies small amounts of Repel Resistance to the target with each period the power is maintained.
Tractor Beam: The way this power checks to see what it can affect has changed. Players should now be able to affect more targets with the pull this power applies.
Tractor Beam: Final Delivery: This advantage now properly checks to see if it is affecting the proper target, so it should no longer damage and knockback other targets near the player, only the target being affected by Tractor Beam. This fix also prevents using the power to repeatedly deal damage with this advantage against targets that are immune to the effects of the pull.
Tractor Beam: Final Delivery: The damage this advantage applies is now tagged as Ranged Damage, instead of tagged as nothing.
Ice
Shatter: Will now properly remove all Chill effects from affected targets, as described.

Many powers have had their descriptions updated and clarified.

Mindful Reinforcement: Fixed a bug that prevented the triggered heal from applying to targets other than the owner.

Nemesis
Nemesis Gallery: Minion portraits should no longer display minions belonging to the wrong nemesis.
Bunker Showdown: Heroes in stasis tubes should now correctly be freed when both switches are hit.
Nemesis Confrontation: Chests dropped by the Nemesis will now be available to the owner of that Nemesis first. After that player interacts with the loot window, other players will be able to interact with the chest. These chests should also now operate like other chests in the game, rather than dropping a loot item on the ground.
Nemesis Confrontation: A fifth loot chest was added to the final Nemesis. Loot chances were adjusted slightly, but are still better overall with the addition of an extra chest.
Nemesis Confrontation: Rebalanced reward distribution to more heavily reward completing the instance rather than farming the beginning. Gladiators and chests now drop random Greens half of the time and Blues half of the time. Chests still always have a Nemesis Token in them. Shadow Destroyer now drops a random Blue in addition to one of his custom Blue+ quality rewards. In addition, Shadow Destroyer now rewards 3 Unity Merits on every defeat instead of 1.
