The dreaded "I don't have a set date for you yet on the changes" line
Unfortunately, that's the best answer I can give right now. Adjustments take time, testing, and iteration. Then the cycle repeats. We've publicly committed to a time frame in the past and were unable to meet that commitment due to unforeseen circumstances. We don't feel good about that when it happens.
u/magyst u/chryztos any chance the devs are finally gonna do something about AFK builds (you know, that actually works as intended unlike the trap cc nerf)
The team is taking another look at the AFK style of gameplay. We just did a playtest on an early iteration of changes we want to make. We found some bugs and things we want to address before pushing it live.
We inadvertently made it easier for this type of behavior to take place and definitely apologize for that as it wasn't the intended outcome. I don't have set date for you yet on the changes. But yes, we want to address this for sure.
