Pretender Hermes!
So yeah, Can we get an eta on when Hermes is going to be fixed?
He is somewhat unique ya'know.
(First person to say "Soon" gets a kick to the throat.)

Re: Pretender Hermes!
Please look into him, I really want to start getting some Hermes gear, and I don't want to finish my modules to only have to wait 3 unis for him to be fixed.

Re: Pretender Hermes!
Blue Dwarf is currently working on the easter content, which has a deadline, but this boss is also closing up on a "deadline" really soon. Could some Dev spend some time and contact me then I can give information on what needs to be done to balance him back to the difficulty level he had in C1. It is really important to get T21 Seers some gear and ships to use before they get pushed back too much and people completely forget about this class.

Re: Pretender Hermes!
Pretty much what Thermal said. He is on my todo list, but Easter is much more of a priority (I got like one week, I realise the number of days I have and my mind just goes... "Crrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapppppppp"). Nothing has changed for his items or his spawner between C1 and C2. The damage/RoF AI manipulation was corrected to it's C1 state. So I really can't see what has made him so much harder... (Although, a bit of me wants to say the shield regeneration thing. Pretender Hermes has a high RoF and with the fires...)
BLEH, back to Easter I go!

Re: Pretender Hermes!
From what I have seen the shield recharge isn't the issue. He just does so much damage. Had 5 shield monkeys on a tarkin augged zerk (iirc?) Was getting half shotted and then just died.

Re: Pretender Hermes!
Hermes dropped my Shield Monkey faster than anything I've seen, other than a direct shot from Kidd's incinerators. My Shield Monkey's also more or less the tankiest possible setup that can also achieve reasonable HPS.

Re: Pretender Hermes!
Me and Bobbo worked out that he did 30 000 damage to my old HM Engineer which had 75-80% resistance to heat. He did this with the recoil of a speed demon, so I think that is where things is majorly wrong.
Also in C1 he never regenerated any shields, you could basically kill him with enough gear glue and a lot of time!

Re: Pretender Hermes!
Seems like the shield regen didn't change really. But yeah, the DPS is there once he gets goin... I've got a couple ideas on that. Going to try them out this weekend.

Re: Pretender Hermes!
Could you guys add like a self-aura to him for the time being, that would reduce the damage and ROF to "similar to C1" levels?
And then use a normal Hermes on a private(or normal) test server to poke at him?

Re: Pretender Hermes!
Because he's in an instance, we can't change anything without a patch. I don't want to change him and nerf him so he becomes too easy. The instance thing is rather annoying because adding such an aura with boss script would take like 30 seconds.
Could do that in Easter Holidays, like after my mind has finished it "Crrrrraaaaaaaaapppppp" phase for the proximity of Easter. If you got a squad and a time. I can easily edit the spawner once we're in the galaxy (on test).
