@Destiny20193 The microtransactions from Myrmidon Lightning Strike onwards will be included in the next console patch, which we are currently working on.
After further review of Lightning Conduit, we're making the tough call of adjusting its balance away from the values revealed in the gem post. We've lowered the base hit damage while slightly raising the shock scaling to reduce its power with builds that have low shock investment
We understand this has a big impact on builds that you're preparing for launch, so we don't make this change lightly. In the future we will take more steps to make sure that our balance review process is completed before we reveal new gems.
We've lowered the base hit damage of the skill by 35% and have raised the hit damage multiplier that is based on the Shock strength from 15% to 20% per 5% at gem level 20. Damage Effectiveness has been updated to 190%.
@crimsonfalconer The Direct Whisper feature has the same spam characteristics as pasting the message into the game (which was already possible and easy). We ban people who spam with it.
@crimsonfalconer The feature is implemented securely and does not increase the vulnerability surface because it is handled internally in our backend and doesn't interact with the sender's game client.
In the console version of Lake of Kalandra, we are adding a new optional networking mode. You can set it from "hybrid" to "auto", which will use lockstep synchronisation if your latency is low enough. This will likely become the default later on. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FaZBpBfaAAAk4qf.jpg
