[2023] Really hope bugs get ironed out before February

There are a few things i really hope are fixed by launch.

I really hope they fix specific ground dot effects ignoring ward and damaging health. Its been an issue for awhile now like in that arena with the two necrotic circles or the necrotic dragon boss. I was wrong, it is based on percent health.

also the loading screens during the campaign while playing in a party are a bit crazy. They take way too long due to only one person being able to load in first and often bugs, requiring the party to remake.

Hey thanks for the info, it looks like i was wrong and it is based on current health.

Whenever i tested it id always stop at around 20-30% hp so i never noticed the drop off. Then whenever i googled it everyone seem to say it was bugged so i just assumed that was the case.

Do you have any news on the slow loading of zones in the campaign? whenever i play with a friend 30-40% of the time is spent waiting at a loading screen or remaking our party when it bugs out (noticed the rust lands/sewer area was the spot where it bugged out the most).

Maybe it would make sense to use some unique visual effect for these ground effects to get some consistency into it and communicate that this is different from regular dmg?

The 2 cases I know are the necrotic circles in arena and the blood DoTs in the Emperor of Corpses fight. Probably some other arena hazards aswell?

I guess you could remove the Emperor of Corpses one and just explain sonewhere once that arena hazards work like that. That would add consistency to it and make sense in my eyes.

Is it though? If you mean "ground effect=bad" with easy to learn sure, but isn't the hard to master part typically attributed to skill-based gameplay, not your ability to find this information by googling it?

Until I read this dmg deals a percentage of your life per tick here on reddit I just assumed the damage over time just hurt a lot and %less dmg over time taken would help. Does it help though or is it a fixed amount of hp that's removed akin to "true dmg" from other games that can't be mitigated?

I also thought it was a bug that it went through ward before reading about it here.

I'm curious, does research by googling qualify as "hard to master" for you?

Oh, look at Mr. Know-it-all here, acting like googling something is beneath them. I guess they must be some kind of genius to have all the answers stored away in their little brain. News flash, buddy, the rest of us mere mortals need a little help from our friend Google once in a while. But hey, I'm sure you're just too busy being a master of every mechanic in existence while the rest of us struggle to put information into action. Must be nice to be so superior. No wonder your comment score is a big fat 0.
