Updates for every patch are posted here: https://shipofheroes.com/forum/patch-notes/

GENERAL

Staying inactive at the login screen or in the character creator while an update to SoH or the Steam client was available could cause a crash when attempting to play a mission. This has now been fixed. If you stay inactive at the login screen or for longer than 15 minutes, it will automatically exit the game.

EVENTS

Improved the code which calculates the average player level inside of area wide events, so that it will handle full area instances better when players are straggling into an area wide event instance.

Halloween Event 

·        Improved Halloween enemies in the science park.

·        Added a notification of where to go when defeating a Lord of Pumpkins

·        The Trick or Treat door at the Lights Out entrance has been removed to avoid players getting a Warlord or other boss spawn when trying to enter the mission.

·        Fixed a tooltip on icon for hidden door in the office mission.

·        Fixed Halloween city effect transitions.

 

Raid - Winter Raid 

·        Fixed an issue with the King of Winter falling through terrain on spawn in some cases.

·        Increased the Queen of Winter's resistance to crowd control.

·        Standard NPCs in the Winter League raid will now hit harder.

·        Tweaked difficulty ranks in the Winter League event. The hard setting will now have a level 24 king, and level 22-23 NPCs. The highest setting will have a level 25 king, and level 24-25 NPCs.

 

GAMEPLAY

 

Missions 

·        Improved navigation in the Suspicious Intel, Melted Circuits, Choke Point, Immovable Object, Force Majeure, Plasma Cannon Assault, Rescue, and Permanent Quarantine maps.

·        Fixed a bug related to the active team mission not changing if the leader of the group logged out in some cases.

·        The innocent NPCs in Buyer Beware will now run away when near enemies.

·        Made some adjustments to the spawners in the Teleport Jammer mission.

·        Made some adjustments to spawners in the Containment mission.

·        Fixed potential navigation and spawner related issues in the Eviction Notice map.

·        Updated the Return the Time Cube mission so the objective text mentions to return to Dr. Strikewell, instead of simply Return to the hospital.

·        Fixed some "Return To" missions where the NPC would not close the mission properly if you did the series out of the expected order, or under other circumstances it was not anticipating.

·        Fixed an IK related issue in the Mage Quarter.

NPCs 

·        Reduced the effectiveness of some NPCs energy drain effects.

·       Level 21+ bosses (from higher difficulty levels) now are more likely to spawn. This is intended to encourage higher difficulty runs in events.

·       Increased the radius of the Jack-o-Lantern attack by the Lord of Halloween.

·        Drones spawn collision adjustments.

·        Fixed an orientation issue with the Staff and Pets vendor.

·        The Snow Blizzard healing bubble visuals now expire rather than staying permanently.

·        Fixed a targeting marker issue on some Werewolf NPCs.

 

Powers

·        Fixed an invalid target message issue in regards to Autocast powers.

·        Fixed a bug that could occur if your energy regeneration went negative.

·        Fixed some erroneous text in the Plasma Bolt description.

 

Crafting

 ·        Increased the rate at which you gain crafting experience. Making it easier to level up your crafting skills.

·        Advanced Healing Trainers will now give you a Support Pack recipe upon training Advanced Healing.

 

UI 

·        Fixed a rare issue that could allow progress widgets on timed objectives to display a negative value if they displayed before fully initialized.

·        QoL: Added a Reset Key bindings button to the Key Bindings window. This will reset all of your key bindings back to the default state.

·        QoL: Current title is now displayed on the Character Sheet and Combat Analyzer windows.

·        Subscription time remaining now displays the days and hours, rather than just the days. Or if under a day, the hours and minutes. This is to avoid confusion in the number of days remaining. Previously if you logged in with 11 days, 0 hour remaining, and then the next day logged in an hour later you might have 9 days and 23 hours remaining, but it only displayed as 9 days. That could be confusing.

MISCELLANEOUS

Audio

·       Added some subtle vehicle sounds in the city.

·       Reduced the volume of fountain sounds.

 

Social 

·       Fixed a bug related to old group members reappearing in your group after a relog.

Badges 

·        Fixed a bug with a couple of achievements that were meant to tie in with a Steam Achievement but did not award one. They will retroactively grant the Steam achievement the next time your character logs in.
