Yeah, this was caused by the system incorrectly applying the death item perseveration when dying in Echo of a World, which is a bug that we think was specific to 1.2.1. I haven't been able to repro it in 1.2.1.1.

However the death item preservation system doesn't create new items. It just moves the items on the server and creates new visual representations of them on the client at their new positions. It works this way because it's intended to occur when returning to Echo of a World after dying in an echo, and that location change causes the visual representations of items on the client to be cleaned up. However without that player location change, the old visual representations don't get cleaned up, resulting in two existing at once for each item.

Do you mean when you load out of and into echoes?

Will link to the dev team to investigate - thanks for digging into it preemptively!

Oh we actually have this fixed internally - I guess it didn’t make it into the patch. Will make sure it’s in an upcoming one

Edit: yea the change is waiting to be tested by the gamepad crew. Will be out in an upcoming patch

Don’t worry - aligned here

Working on it

Just wanted to note that I have our team collecting threads regarding game difficulty so we can assess it en masse.

OPs callout of following guides, things like Nemesis, crafting, etc. are all being considered as we continue to update the game.

We’re not looking to make the early campaign overly difficult as it should be easy enough for new players to the genre not to be immediately alienated, but it should also present challenges. Right now we feel it may be too spiky when real challenges are presented like with Lagon.

Keep the feedback coming - we’re listening

So this is actually how it does work already just with a portion of the ability where you are locked in. We are working on an update to the animation system which will allow us to shorten the locked in duration for each ability to allow for earlier interrupting. Also movement skills (including evade) can generally interrupt faster than other attack abilities.

The reception to Season 2 has been so nice. I took a minute to just sit in my yard last night and it was really great to be able to not be worrying about it. Lots to do still but it feels nice to have our feet under us.
