Quick question, If you’re at liberty or desire to answer by the way. Is there any plan for a system parallel to LP/Weaver’s for set items?

I love some of the set items but I often struggle to justify building around the cooler ones (looking at you, Gaspar’s) in leu of choosing uniques that allow me to push my build further.

Personally I think Weaver’s Will is a great system that would adapt well to Sets, giving you the option to push the item further without selectively min-maxing like a 3/4LP can do.

Speaking of which, mad respect for y’all allowing for that legendary (pun intended) chance of a truly god tier 4LP drop on near any unique. Makes every one that drops just that much more exciting to see!

And if they use some formula instead of hardcoded values for level 100 zones, they even have elegant solution for this - make corruption increase effective zone level by, say, corruption/10. So at 1000 corruption you'd be considered as being in level 200 zone instead of 100.

Raxx found the hammer with 1 LP. Is that 0,007%?

so the carrot isn't on the Moon is on Pluto right.

These numbers for some items looks like uber uniques in D4.

Also if you guys redeem it "not correct" how about giving us the correct numbers.

Does this mean it will function the same for rings?

I've been scouring the game to see if there are any NPCs that move and block player movement while online, and I've found one.

The rabbits in The Old Road block movement and shove the player out of the way while in online mode. Would it be possible to have a boss use the same behavior as the rabbit?

If there's some sort of code voodoo that lets the rabbit work while copying it elsewhere makes it fail, is it possible to enlarge a rabbit until its collision radius is the same as a boss, turn it invisible, and have it update its position to be standing directly on top of the boss at any given frame?

Can you give any more detail on the services they provide? Obviously, they are a sales and marketing platform, but I wondered if they support you in other ways

Although I applaud you for sticking by your design, I come from another game that hid behind "data" and I always hated that because those were bad decisions and the consensus against them was enormous but we were always told "prove it".

As if the user is supposed to justify their positions as if they're a research firm. If you're gonna cite data, you should be transparent with it. Not particularly invested in the campaign skip though I would like for idol slots to be a one time thing for the sake of rushing campaign which is already an ordeal seasonally.

I would just hate for this lack of transparency to be used as a fallback position on a subject I care more about.

Thanks for wrangling the screaming toddler in a calm and collected way. The way he behaves he didn't deserve it, you did put in the time anyway. Thank you.

While it's often tempting to put stock into all forms of feedback, it might be prudent to weigh the credibility of contributors, especially when their responses might be slightly less than articulate or perhaps fall victim to more than just unfortunate autocorrect mishaps ("alot"). I'll move on.

Reflecting on the unlocking of idol slots, although there are ample wow moments within the game, these particular unlocks might not carry the same palpable impact when unlocked individually. An alternative perspective - providing a notable power spike through instant access to all idol slots for new characters, still honors the player’s initial efforts and maintains the spirit of earning rewards.

The monolith compromise seems fair enough. Integrating idol slot unlocks with more enjoyable content solves the core issue. Although sidequests provide a novel experience initially, their allure can wane in repeated runs, where the enticing call of the endgame beckons louder.

Firstly, I'd like to commend your attention to detail, especially in pointing out 'residence' instead of 'resistance.' It's these little quirks that make our conversations delightfully engaging.

While I understand the sentiment of not wanting to remove activities from the game, the core issue here isn't about removing them entirely. The overwhelming request has been to provide the option to skip them on subsequent characters after completion once. It's about respecting player time and ensuring the gameplay remains enjoyable, rather than turning into a repetitive chore.

Your point about players desiring a variety of activities is well-taken. Yet, paradoxically, by not allowing the choice to skip sidequests, you're actually forcing a specific gameplay pattern onto them. A true variety comes from having choices – not just in the activities available, but in how one chooses to engage with them.

If skipping the idol quests are more effecient then I'll do that, it would negatively effect the game and I'd rather them make the campaign play better as I said.

Game feel is by and far the biggest complaint I've seen it just seems like campaign skippers are very loud probably feel bad with their 9 kids 3 wives 2 dogs and 3 wives boyfriends they feed

Apology accepted, but it seems you're focusing on semantics here to avoid the main topic.

I invite you to poke holes in the logic from my other comment. Perhaps there's something I'm overlooking that can justify the dev resistance to adding a frequently requested feature, which I've never seen anyone argue against in the comments. That's where the "borderline unanimous" comment came from. Full support and no resistance, from the community.

Scenario A: Sidequests are mandatory to unlock idol slots for all characters. Those who enjoy repeating the quests will approve, those who don't enjoy repeating the quests will disapprove.

Less than 100% of players get what they want from Scenario A

Scenario B: Idol slots are unlocked across all characters. Those who enjoy repeating the sidequests can still do so. Those who don't enjoy repeating the sidequests can skip them.

100% of players get what they want from Scenario B

Then let's see the data you collected. Hopefully you're able to back up the strongly worded statements you're throwing around.

Logically, it's pretty simple to determine the best way to handle this clash of opinions.

Scenario A: Sidequests are mandatory to unlock idol slots for all characters. Those who enjoy repeating the quests will approve, those who don't enjoy repeating the quests will disapprove.
