There are reports that a few device secondary powers are nerfed after the patch last nite.
Devs have stated clearly that Smoke Granade, Caltrops, Trip Mine, Time Bomb and Targeting Drone are NOT nerfed intentionally.
So far, they only mentioned that there is a bug in trip mine and time bomb which makes them incapable to take account the dmg enhancements slotted. This will be fixed.
No mention on the other "nerfs".... ^^!
I was thinking of slotting trip mine fully. Now got to wait for smoke to clear

not sure how true is the 'not intentional' part tho...
How can the device powers be changed if they didnt meddle with the code for those powers? :confused: and some more so zhun after the numerous 'nerf smoke grenades' threads on the official website. :err:

We have noticed a few threads claiming there were some changes to the game that were not documented in the patch notes. Some of the top claims include:
Accuracy
Smoke Grenade
Targeting Drone
Caltrops
Trip Mine
Time Bomb
Full Auto
Ignite
Entity/Pet Enhancements
Stamina
Integration
We did not intentionally change any of these, and our initial testing shows that they are unchanged. That is, none of these should have changed.
However, we did find a bug with Trip Mine. For some reason, its damage is not getting boosted by Damage Enhancements. We are looking into this now, and should have a resolution soon.
We are continuing to look at each of these issues in detail, to ensure there is no problem. Well do the same for any other issues that come to our attention. If any of these did indeed change, it is likely to be a bug, and it will be fixed.
--------------------
This is Rumor Control - Accuracy has not been nerfed!
It is still 75% to hit target unless the power says otherwise, there are buff/debuffs used, or the target is not your level.
They have said that they will fix Trip Mine.
