Well no but kinda? Only one person gets to "use" it but it will spew out items individually for everyone at the same time.

So everyone gets their own idol shrine that triggers when any one person in the party uses it.

And, if someone uses one before you get into the zone, the items will be waiting on the ground for you. Not sure if this is intended or a bug but it's really nice. It actually happened to me today and I was very grateful.

While they are similar as a player facing end result, functionally they are very different and require different systems to be synced cross clients. Drops are instanced so the server only shows you what drops for you. If you drop an item on the ground, other people in the zone don't see it too.

We aren't currently planning to do much in this regards. You might be in situations where one person is over or under levelled for a situation.

Great show!

Edit: since I've gotten 3 DMs asking what show, Taskmaster. It is a panel show where people compete for pointless prizes over useless tasks for no reason other than it's fun. If you are interested in having a laugh, start at the beginning with "The Watermelon Task".

That summary is all correct.

if I increase the base 4 second Spirit Duration, that leads to more spirits being active at once while I'm channeling, which increases the overall number of total spirits I have active while channeling, right?

Yes

I just wanted to quickly pop in to try to clarify this misunderstanding. In an early Developer Blog we had mentioned that we were looking at "september'ish" for patch 0.8.6. In the following Development Update we announced that with early multiplayer testing going so well, we instead decided to go straight to update 0.9.0 with the multiplayer beta, skipping 0.8.6 - and this would require a bit more time (past the "september'ish" mark). We do not currently have a date we're ready to share for update 0.9.0

Soon.

It doesn't mean that more will be revealed in total, but it does mean that you'll have more at once as long as you've been channelling for longer than the normal duration of an individual spirit.

This is a surprisingly (computationally) expensive operation to run and doesn't quite solve the problem because some spots are on the navmesh but are inaccessible to the player. You also get extra edge cases in multiplayer. This was the initial idea for it but it caused other problems that we were unable to solve. It's still something to work on.

We do some special versions of this when casting some abilities. For example, if you have the multi thorn totem node and cast it near a ledge or wall, you'll notice that you either get strange placement or not all of them will be created. This is less bad because we know that we aren't going to have (in extreme cases) hundreds of simultaneous instances of the operation being run if you were to kill a couple dozen leaping enemies with 1 hit and have them all drop multiple things.

Ideally we will get it working efficiently so that you can damage leaping enemies in the air.

I don't know what the threshold is but as long as you are above whatever the minimum corruption drop chance for it is, you're good to go.

Sorry, you're right, I assumed that they were an experienced player with the way the question was asked and assumed that it would be enough to relate it back to the way things are now.

I have updated the reply with the details on how the system currently works, and will continue to work.

Agreed. It's something that was originally added to avoid inaccessible items dropping in mid air if the enemy was killed during the leap. There are almost certainly better solutions for this, but we haven't yet had the time to go back and fix it.

This is close, but not always correct. If it's from an Echo Specific Reward that specifically gives a unique or set pair of gloves, then it can only reroll to gloves, but in most cases it can reroll to any unique that would be a valid drop.

That's actually different because that is applied before the cap so you can always overcome it by just having more.

Edit: just saw the conversation about this explaining it all.

It isn't capped no but we do nerf the damage done to bosses which does have a secondary effect of reducing leech too.
