Pox Nora - Cutedge
This month's (surprisingly early) patch focuses on a number of client quality of life improvements including the ability to pause the game when playing against bots in both campaigns and skirmishes. There is also another round of tuning for the August rebalance as well as some server fixes.

Client

Campaigns & Bots
  • Added the ability to pause campaign and bot skirmish games
User Interface
  • Fixed an issue in which changes to a champion's max range would not show as modifications in the UI
  • The lobby user list is now sorted by rank (as it was in the before times) and ranked usernames are now colored based on tier
  • Fixed visual issues with game listings for 2v2 games in the lobby
Visuals & FX
  • Made an optimization for rendering while in game
  • Fixed an issue in which shadows were not being drawn for Nora fonts
  • Added visual effects for when logistics stat buffs are applied
  • Reworked tunnel effects which were not working properly and have not worked properly since the launch of the Unity client. This should also fix an issue in which units can disappear and not reappear when using Tunnel abilities
  • Reworked the effect for Tunnel: Ooze so that it looks sufficiently ooze like
Other
  • Snogvie found something that was long lost to him

While this isn't the solution that ultimately we are looking at to improve frame rate issues with the client, we have added a new option to set the maximum FPS for the game client. This is available in the Options in both the main menu and in the game and allows you to set the desired frame rate to be capped at 30, 60, 90, 120 or unlimited.

By default, this will choose the closest option to your current refresh rate on your device up to 120 (meaning that if your monitor is 60hz it will be set to 60fps by default or if you have a monitor that is 144hz it will be set to 120fps by default). Setting the frame rate maximum to uncapped is the old behavior, and while there probably isn't much reason to go above 60fps, it will pick the highest to your monitor refresh rate regardless. This option will be saved on device and maintained between play sessions.

Greetings everyone. Today we are launching a large patch for various runes across all factions. This is a large rebalance designed to help encourage more diverse and engaging gameplay and bring many runes back out of the shoebox.

This has been a major endeavor by the community balance team and we are looking forward to seeing everyone's thoughts and strategies! Be sure to share any feedback in the Pox Nora community discord.

Due to the size of the patch notes, they have been posted on the Pox Nora website here

This month's patch is focused primarily on Quality of Life issues and other general improvements. However, first there is a new product announcement.

Limited Recolors
A pack is available for each faction that includes 3 recolors that were previously only available on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.

Client Updates

Ability User Interface
  • On the start of a new turn, the game no longer automatically activates the default attack
  • When clicking on an empty space to "deselect" an ability, you no longer have to click twice in order to remove the ability activation grid
  • A new user interface display now appears when activating an ability with activation information (name, range, aoe)
  • When hovering over an ability in the Lower HUD, it now shows if the ability is a Basic Attack, a Non-Basic Attack, or a normal Activated Ability

Observer
  • The Rune Dock and Nora bank no longer show for players that are observing a game, since they were never updated anyway
  • Loading a game to observe will generally take less time to "deploy" existing units

Team Games
  • When a user selects to end their turn in a 2v2 game, that player's name will now blink blue to signify that they have submitted their end turn request (as it previously did in the Java client in the days of yore)

In Game User Interface
  • When viewing a champion rune in game with the Rune popup screen, it will no longer incorrectly show controller prompts if a controller is not present

Campaigns
  • Corrected an issue that prevented the graphic indicating how to change difficulty of a campaign mission with the controller from displaying

New Player Experience
  • The help screen in game now shows correct graphics when using an Xbox controller (or a Steam Deck)
  • Fixed an issue that could cause the onboarding window to appear again after playing a game

Network
  • Implemented a change to make the client's networking process messages in a way that the Java client did previously as part of an effort to fix various visual display errors or errors that could cause performance or client stability issues

Performance & Stability
  • Corrected an issue that could cause certain visual effects that used lines to throw errors while they were in play which in turn would cause significant performance issues. In particular, this would happen when the relic Long Fuse Bomb was deployed using the ability Summon: Long Fuse Bomb
  • Corrected various other errors that could cause performance issues

Other Fixes
  • Fixed an issue in which champions with Lichborne or Reanimate would not reappear in the runedock after their reborn unit dies


Server

Abilities
  • Fixed Guarded: {type} abilities so that they only trigger only when the unit is attacked for the first time. Previously it gave the appearance of triggering only once because it would not apply the effect to units that already had the buff, but it was actually triggering multiple times.
  • Fixed an issue with Guarded: Moga, Guarded: Boghopper, and Guarded: Draksar abilities that could cause them to trigger the gain AP multiple times per turn due to Guarded buffs of those types (as well as Guarded: Beast) would incorrectly stack over each other. Note: This means that multiple different Guarded abilities can give their effect to a single unit (i.e., a unit can get a buff from Guarded: Beast and Guarded: Moga if it met the conditions of both), which was already the case for other Guarded abilities.
  • Fixed an issue in which the effect of Vinetouch Pedestal would not trigger during enemy turns
  • Deep Wounds now correctly only increases damage on basic attacks
  • Fixed an issue in which Beckoning Guile would trigger on units with Iron Will from Bastion of Will
  • Fixed an issue in which Sheoul Disciple would not trigger when using the LE Maxxarek recolor


Balance Changes

Abilities
  • Hunter: X abilities now only increase damage from attacks and reduce damage from attacks.
  • Mutation: Horror changed to: Spend 4 charges: This champion gains Frightful Blows. If it already has Frightful Blows, it gains Dread instead and this ability is removed.
  • Voices in their Head changed to: Target opposing champion within 3 spaces becomes Possessed, recovers 4 AP and gains Careless and Manic for 1 turn. Cooldown: 4
  • The AP cost of the ability Bubble has been changed to 3 (was 4)

Spells
  • Nora cost of the spell Pygmy Hippo Stampede changed to 55 (was 60)
  • Thorn Collection now does full damage to relics

Equipment
  • Nora cost of the equipment Virtue changed to 30 (was 35)

Relics
  • The relic Sapphire Catalyst has temporarily been restricted from ranked play.
