[2022] (SWI) Angels of the Zariman: Hotfix #2

(SWI)  Angels of the Zariman: Hotfix #2

It’s the day after Update 31.5: Angels of the Zariman! We are here with our second hotfix to address some key stability and fixes. Some next-day feedback has been incorporated in this update. 
 

Eximus Rewards & Palladino Changes:
After reviewing Community feedback to the Eximus Unit reward changes in Update 31.5.0, we’ve made some further changes, specifically to the Credit drop. The amount of Credits dropped for high level Eximus Units due to the scaling amount changes weren’t hitting the mark for veteran players who play at that level. We don’t want to remove Credits altogether as new players will find these useful in their journey. 

As a result, Eximus Units now drop 500-750 Credits that no longer scale with level. Non-Steel Path Eximus Units level 30+ now have a chance to drop a Riven Sliver, granted at a smaller chance than their Steel Path counterpart to not diminish their value. 

As a result of the above changes, Palladino’s Offerings have grown to provide more purchase options for your Riven Slivers, given that you’ll receive more with the above changes.

New to Palladino’s Weekly Offerings: 

• Additional Veiled Riven 
• 35K Kuva Bundle
• 150K Credit bundle
  • For those who appreciated the bigger Credit drop from Eximus Units you can now choose to use your Riven Slivers here.

Please note that the per week reset also applies to these Offerings. 

Additionally, we’ve temporarily removed the “Tax the Taxmen” requirement from the Zariman Bounty rotation due to the prior Eximus Credit drop boon making it possible for a majority of players. We’re looking to change this to a “Kill X Eximus Units” challenge instead in the near future. 

Syndicate Medallions Change: 

We have made a gamewide change to how Syndicate Medallions spawn in missions - this of course also applies to the latest addition of Voidplumes! 

Before: Medallions of all tiers spawn completely at random with no logic attached to it. 

NOW: There is now a guarantee that out of the 8 Medallions that spawn in a mission:

• 1 will be Rare (aka Voidplume Crest now guaranteed in every mission)! 
• 2 will be Uncommon
• The remaining 5 will have a chance to be either Common (75%) or Uncommon (25%).

There is now far more benefit to finding all 8 Medallions, as you are guaranteed 3 higher tier out of the total 8. 

Changes: 

• Changed Void Armageddon “Collect Argozene Crates” Bounty to be 3/5/7/9 instead of 3/5/10/15.
• Turning in Zariman Accolades to Melica Caches will now immediately drop the Void Quill instead of after she finishes her voice lines. 
  • This also fixes the issue of Cephalon Melica’s voice lines getting interrupted when interacting with her. 
• Added a tutorial message to the Angels of the Zariman quest during Void Manifestation fight informing that you can Void Sling through Orbs.
  • This tutorial prompt also appears in the fight outside of the quest when assistance is needed. 
• Added a UI Marker to the “inactive” Void Manifestation if you are doing a Zariman Bounty that requires you to defeat them. 
• Updated a couple animations of the Angels of the Zariman characters in the quest. 
• Added sound FX variations to Gyre’s Arcsphere and Coil Horizon cast. 
• Turned up the volume of the Zariman Accolades. 
• Changed the ‘Zariman Classroom Scene’ Captura scene to ‘Zariman Schoolyard Scene’ to more accurately reflect it.
