Auto Assault: New Hotfix for Refire Bug + Future Changes

AA Associate Producer Zzyn, announced on the AA Forums a new Hotfix that will amend the nasty Refire Bug that plagued PvP in Ground Zero. This patch will end the insasne DPS surges with many 5% Refire gear. Here's Zzyn post:

"The servers will be brought down at 1pm CST for a quick update that corrects an issue that some were seeing with refire rates.
There are severe penalties for using exploits in online games. This is no secret. A number of players did intentionally and willfully exploit this bug to thier benefit. A number of accounts have been investigated and noted.

There is no doubt in my mind that this bug was communicated word of mouth, and recently travelled rather quickly. I am dissappointed that many of our players chose to behave in this manner. It only made things worse for everyone involved..."

Zzyn also elaborated in another post about few future PTS changes to the Coolant Flush timers and Weapon Damage Adds:

"[+Weapon damage add] skills adding to other skill's damage output
-- As I understand it, this is a bug. I know when I did a balance pass to provide feedback to Stamen, this wasn't taken into account. This does explain some things, though.. I've got a note in to NetDevil about the actual intent of these skills to confirm my suspicions. NOTE: I didn't say it *will* be 'fixed.' I said I'll ping NetDevil as to the intent and get back to you. Dont panic! :-)

..Coolant Flush cooldowns have been corrected on the next PTS build. They will no longer be usable in rapid fashion. Second Chance has also been updated to prevent coolant flushes from negating the heat effect of that skill."
