Glad I got this bad boy from the Challenge before I guess.

Does this mean the ball lightning has a greater radius of status application than before?

I've never gotten an exotic from UCs, so it stands to reason that this change will never affect me.

 

Does anyone know what update #706 was and why these patch notes didn't show up?

They didn't release update #706.
The changes must have been included in this #707 update release.

Yes.

It'll be a bit more useful to have them flying around near Siege points now. They're as wide as a Thunder shot now. It also buffs ball lightning durations so getting face-to-face with one is going to be more dangerous against Stun and EMP.

707?!

This is a good change. I always felt the ball was a bit weak in terms of splash range. This update will help, especially with the newfangled status thunder augments.

why? no one uses rail anyway so why not make all of the rail augments legendary

[SulfuricAcid 504]

Great updates, such as the common rarity removal of UC drop chance. From now, UCs never let u down.

Cursader and wasp overdrives need some attention

There is a game crash ongoing right now, i've pleased if you could at least confirm if this is general or if its only a individual problem that is affecting me

Need to stick to the topic or your post(s) will be removed - but I am 12+ hours not able to get into game if that helps

Still waiting on Shaft to get some QOL improvements for quickscoping, but more importantly, for AP Shaft to have AP on critical hits. It's becoming strenuous to consistently do well with it against the upgraded status augments due to how AP Shaft functions. 

[cybernite 93]

I hope they bufff shaft rapid reload time...  and it would be good to see shaft ap crit hits too.... so many other AP turrets have this... even Gauss AP..with arcade shots.
