Speed Boost Suppression and Slows


Fleeting Whisper

 

Posted

I got a few questions about the option players will have to decline the movement speed increase from buffs cast on them by other players.

If someome who has themself set to decline movement buffs has a movement buff applied to them, then gets hit with a slow power, will the speed buff still cancel out the slow, or will the slow affect the player as though they didn't have a movement buff?


Currently published Mission Architect arcs:
Arc ID# 70466: From the Abyss.
Arc ID# 403174: The Serpent's Revenge.
Arc ID# 534236: The Clockwork Angel.

The latter. The speed buff never happened. History has been altered.

Maybe Null the Gull is a Time Manipulation Defender!

By "slow power," are you looking at ID or something like, oh, Snowstorm?

While you won't get the +SPD buff at all, and so it won't offset Slow, I think you should still get any Slow Res that the buff might grant.

[Edit:] Thought I could test that by myself, but it's other players' speed buffs only.

Yeah, Speed Boost keeps you out of Caltrops now not because of the +Spd, but because of the +100% Res(Spd).
