Ship of Heroes fans may be interested in a new article on the game's site that reveals all of the buffs and debuffs that players will have access to. Of particular note is the fact that ever stat in the game can be either buffed or debuffed. Obviously the provided list is a work in progress, but it gives you a good idea where the feature is headed in the long run.
- We are planning to add some traditional control powers into the game, and are generally expecting to be able to accomplish this goal either at launch, or shortly thereafter.
- Nearly all powersets will have themes in terms of the buffs and debuffs applied to damage sets, and multiple buffs in buff powers. For example, a damage-dealer’s self-buff will most likely increase damage and accuracy, or damage and recharge time, or some similar combination.
- For those wondering about the exact numbers: we cannot really provide numbers for buffs and debuffs by power, by level, by class, with or without augmentations and globals, or temp powers, power-ups and team buffs, until just prior to launch. Why? Because your feedback in Alpha and Beta stages will be critical to balancing, and not a formality. Even at this early stage, we change the numbers all the time to see what looks and feels right.
