Noticed a little stealth buff to Ascendants

Twerking as intended

Go test it out for yourself, they grab you from a greater distance now. No point being slanderous when you can't disprove me. Just shows you're a person who likes taking cheap shots. Haters gonna hate i guess.

Maybe it wasn't about reach, but rather about OP's flexibility?

No.

We're need more twerking jiggly bumbums GIF around here

Had some games today against Kett and noticed the same. Some days ago the bubble nearly touched their shield when casted. Now they get you like 10m away, the trap is forming 5m away from the shield.
Or maybe it was lag...

So, I started paying attention and noticed the same but not always.

I just played three games against the Kett. The first two matches, I didn't notice anything unusual but in the third I get this Ascendant bubble thrown on me from behind, I dash out and turn around only to see two Ascendants teleporting in from - indeed - an estimated ten meters away.

And then I was like "Hey, I remember this happening to me earlier a few times in the past week!"

So, yes, if that's what you mean, Doc. I would also guess it's latency...

well this place has gotten a little dull

I've seen longer teleports than that on occasion for months. Both on and off-host. Nothing's been changed.

Does it seem more likely that:

(1) despite the end of all other support, someone at Bioware decided out of the blue to change some value midweek that affects the teleport and/or sync range of Ascendants; or

(2) you noticed something that's been in the game for months after you were specifically primed by this thread to expect it?

It may be me, of course, since it's still early here but the points you make in your post feel a bit 'adrift'. So, lemme slap on some more coffee boosters and run by them...

So have I, regardless of host: nothing's been changed. I agree but it also isn't the point. The point is casting sync-kill bubbles over long distances.

I wouldn't know. In fact, apart from people within BW, no one would.

Didn't we just say/agree teleport wasn't changed?

I sort of expected this at the top of your post. Would you also say "I've seen longer sync ranges than that on occasion for months. Both on and off-host. Nothing's been changed."?

No, I don't think that's more likely. I get the human experience being malleable thingy but still...

I played three games against the Kett to try it out. In the first two, I kept within 10/15-ish meters from Ascendants on purpose a few times to see if they'd start a sync bubble over me: not once.

Then, when it happened in the third game, I wasn't even trying.  I was fighting other enemies and got sync-bubbled from behind. I dashed out from the bubble and immediately turned around: the spot behind the dissolving bubble was empty, yet a few meters further there were two Ascendants who were both only now just starting their teleport towards me.

That's what I experienced and also remember happening a few times in at least the week before. I can't recall having experienced it before that time, certainly not for months.

So you tell me... #andnowformoarcoffee

You mean EA has shittier servers than the one providing the lagfest from a few months ago ?
