Devs: What happened to the locker interaction speed of Shadow Dance?

The Shadow Dance addons for Wraith used to, in addition to those effects listed, increase Locker interaction speed as well. What happened to this? Was this a nerf that got snuck in?

    The green one would increase your locking opening speed and this was not intended, it was fixed in 6.1.0.

    "Fixed an issue that caused the Wraith's "Shadow Dance" - White add-on to increase the locker opening speed while cloaked."

    Wasn't that intended? I thought that it always said that it increases locker opening speed or am I going insane? And why only the green rarity one, when the purple one does the same (increasing locker opening speed by 60% while cloaked)?

    To quote a discussion from a while back.


    shadow dance did not speed up the locker in 2.2.0 when it was added. At this time there is no mention in the add-on text that it applies to rockers either.

    But at some point the text was added that the effect would be applied to lockers. I suspect it was a technical issue where the action to destroy a board or window and the action to open a locker were uniform and could not be distinguished. I believe that is why the text was quietly added to hide it.


    If I remember correctly, the green and purple add-ons were also faster lockers up to 6.0.0.

    But in 6.0.0 it will receive a shadow nerf. The text about lockers has been removed from the text of the green and purple add-ons. There is nothing in the patch notes about this. At this point, the text may have still just been removed and the effect may have been applied to lockers in-game.

    However, in 6.1.0, the patch notes state that "The green add-on applying effects to lockers was a bug.

    Again, there is no mention of the text being removed from the green and purple add-ons.


    But why do you think they suddenly did this shadow nerf from 6.0.0?


    My guess is that the developers were very scared of Dredge and the aura visualization perk he brought.

    So they seem to have removed the add-on text so that no one would notice, then wrote in the patch notes that "this was a glitch" and acted like it never happened.


    sry my poor english
